Where is Alasdair on this thread . I will weigh in on this . Doug is my man ! He put me and my team up in his house though we did not fly in with him..... He will fly your ass in or out when NO OTHER TAXI will. He is a brilliant musician who created an amazing memorial song to Mugs. He is a business man struggling agaianst the Princess cruis monsters sending the little guy down the scuba /sewer slide. I will only give my $ to the local guy and he is about the only one left there

Stefan ,Great idea Is this the same cynical Dennis Harmon that I did Eldorado west ridge with? there could be a 2nd DH in Wenatchee?

Yo Klenke, you remind me of me before I had done many trips here. Are you serious about wanting to do all those peaks??? One trip?? I find it better to plan on 1 mt. The pack is so light you usually get up someting

David thanks for gettin on the page with those photogs.,and for watching for the descent route before we topped out......KEY MOVE...... and for a great trip

I have gone after the Soviet route . I dont think it will ever be repeated. The"rock"on Bonanza is terrible. It may be the only peak that Fred hasnt climbed

Ya it was hot and scary on the west ridge of Hunter. when we got back to Talkeetna it was 88 degrees! I guess we got to go earlier? April/ March?

P. M. me if you have one for sale. Wayne

Yea I saw them cleaning one of them up. It was below the east face of Lib Bell . . It was down to one lane and it brought rocks down with it , big ones too. Just a heads up out there: There were lots of cornice collapse and avvies everywhere in the high country . Gravity flexing [ 05-27-2002, 08:23 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

My personal favorites are any of the ice season mixed routes on Illumination Rock. There is a topo of them in Climaxe currentlyIf it cooled down , the Reid side of it would be sweet

Someone tell Jennie hi for me ,please

Thanks and I am out of here!!!!!!

You didnt arrange the boat? Oh my god what a megathon! Day 8: Puddle of goo.

I have considered Crosson as a way to poach Foraker. Has anyone been able to do peaks like this without a permit? What is the penalty?

Just do everybody a favor an go over the top of Whatcom Peak, bag 2 classics and figure out imperfect on the way back!

Headed up to Alaska to join the 20 parties on the West Ridge of Hunter, and I am wanting info on good plan B's in the area . Anybody know anything about the Kahiltna Peaks or things within the base camp area that doesnt require permits or Twight-like commitment? [ 05-07-2002, 04:10 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Can we all just get a life?

East as in Index East? TimL That sucks about your wing. Put in your downtime and wait till that week we call Summer. [ 05-06-2002, 05:26 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Thielsen is great anytime! The rock on the standard rt and the west ridge is actually very good. The only issue is do you want the bad scree to be covered with snow? If you want a big time alpine route try the McGloughlin Memorial route ,it is like something in the North Cascades with bad rock at times.14+ pitches with routefinding issues too. While we are on the subject has anyone else out there done the McGloughlin Memorial?

I have a buddy who is a very serious snow mo dude and he is as proud of his ascent of st.Hels as we are of our our most proud climbs. I dont agree that it should be allowed at all! but there is always another perspective opposite of any given veiw Should I tell him he sucks? he is twice my weight

Elysian . IceGirl has spoken.

hey TimL was just talking aboot slabs when we saw you In Cananda. My epeltives are that slabs require too much nerve,trust,and patience to be popular with peops that want everything now!

Believe it or not crevasses have recently shown up on the zz glacier ,but they were very obvious and quite old ice exposed by recession. I agree with the last , Nope, post though

Ballar sounds good [ 04-15-2002, 06:44 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

I dony usually throw down a challenge on a repeat, but I wonder if anyone else has done a left to right bouldering traverse of Bat Wall at Broughtons? I dont think they have but if you try bring your crash pad(of course I didnt) and a big lunch. See if you can beat my time on it : Just over 6 years to send it.Left to right Red Wall has been lapped by many ,it offers a good warm up

Hey Will, I was to be going there myself but the weather sucked. Hey I left a topo of I-rock and Black Spider at Climaxe for you to check out.It should end the mystery surrounding the best mixed climbing in the PNW. 6-8 month season on the thing and offers great craging in the summer when everything else is too hot.Early start if you are climbing in the sun. Extended season on the Reid side.w
