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

Spec, That sucks out loud, All our thoughts to friends and family.Realy brings these games into a new perspective

Hello Oregon Friends. I have had to move away from the Beaver state, but am curious what the latest sitch on Madrone Wall.Never give up!!

This is the beta to the "Imperfect Impasse". It is my opinion that the best way to perfect pass IS over the top of Whatcom peak though: After the peak(6534') that is after Easy peak ,there is a descent to 5400". It is best to generally stay high as you can without traversing cliffs. You will eventually do some steeper talus/downclimbing untill you get to a fault/gully filled with snow. It has cliffs on both sides. Descend to a tree on flat ledge. It offers the only access into the "Imperfect Impasse". It has a ledge that seems bad but goes, many rope up .Last person is solo though. the other side is doable but looks tough. It is the only way through.Reversing it is possible by rappel. Dont let it psyche you out ,it is just adventure along the way.w

With AI3, the pro will kill you before you can place it

5 days usually.The "trail" down challenger arm is something of an enigma.I dont think Chilliwack river trail is a problem,but it would be out of the way after challenger,and much longer than Hannegan approach.I have some e-files on the traverse I could send you . all I need is your email address [ 04-01-2002: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Hey Alan . Good choice ,Easy pass? Perfect pass is the way to Challenger, but ,I think the best way is over whatcom peak. Easy day to the river crossing before the hill. Harder day to perfect pass with some route finding around "imperfect Impasse". Consider a traverse out to Ross lake!

If you took all the people from this site and laid them end to end,Stretched out across a field, that would be a great place to leave them!
