Yes ,David ,The N.face couloir was in .The reason we climbed it was it offered more interesting ice than the other regular rt.They both were continuous in August. Thank you for the picture if Eldorado.Even though it looked incomplete, it is my guess that it reguires a couple of fall storms to turn it into the verglas masterpiece it seems.Ther doesnt always have to be a thick super hiway of ice to be a quality ice experience.Look whats going on with mixed.Go for it anyways!I cant wait to stab the thin!!!!

David just look what you started.Lets start thinking about that nwest ice couloir on Eldo SOON!!!!!!!w

Did it 2 weeks ago it was fine .we did the left couloir..Crossing boston gl no problem.Route was easy

Thanx Cap,I am assuming you mean September 10-12 If so that is soon?Any help on sites you can offer?w

Are the trails open into the enchantments?Are there any restrictions currently in effect? I am intrested in the Colchuck Lake area.Any sites out there that link to the park itself,thanx ,w

On July 3-8 Two separate teams from different states successfully competed a simultaneous traverse of the amazing Mount Challenger. Meeting at the summit on day three was a momentous half hour I shall never forget . The knowledge that I would not have to backtrack to Hannegan Pass was a joy as I would further explore the way out by finding the way to Big Beaver pass.Seven people made the two teams.I would like to again thank and congradulate each of you on making it a most fun and warm time of my life.w

Did it a month ago Free solo of complete difficult loose exposed

People will do any thing for new routes at Smith Rock

Nice job Pete! Glad to hear you guys made it , you were moving fast last I saw you.We have discussed doing Mt.Goode,But we dont know if thats a good candidate.We think it might be cool to park a car at rainy pass,summit,go to to stehekin ,and have a plane there that just dropped off 2 climbers that will then climb and retrieve the car,Not simultaneous, but the plane thing sounds cool.Let me know of your ideas,this thing grew from the idea of hateing back tracking. w

Yes, we were that party, and it was a party as we all summited and did the traverse!Imperfect was handled right at the base of the buttress that comes down from Whatcom.It is a steep sided gully that is easily traversed into and out,starting from a ledge with a tree.If you have done it right you will pass an old bolt.Were you a father and son team?The internet has proven to be a powerful tool in this hectic message machine age.Thank You everyone who participated and I will await your ideas for the future!

I am looking for 1 or 2 people interested in Climbing challenger in the pickets on 4th of July.Please write,Thanx

Are you up for the Challenge®? Do you know somebody who is?I am currently organizing two teams to simultaneously climb and traverse Mt. Challenger in the Picket range of the North Cascades!Two separate teams starting at both ends of the mt will hopefully climb and meet on the summit,after exchanging hi-fives and car keys the parties then follow the others route back to the other sides.This is a dream trip that could make a persons summer!The Challenge has been delivered ,Let me know if youre up to it! I am seeking 4-8 people I need one other experienced leader to head the other party.I will lead the party known as the PP party {for perfect pass}. THe other party will be known as the bb or big beaver party.The pp will have a more strenuos approach with easier route finding up. I have experience with the bb so I figure it will come in handy on the way out.BB will aproach by boat,ross lake, and tell the driver to expect different faces on the return.we can wand ,flag and beta each others decsent. cell phones may come in handy ,anyone have good radios? CALL ME! I cant wait to plan this trip!!!! The dates are from July4 to 9.Lets get this going,I AM GOING EVEN IF I ONLY HAVE A PARTNER!

when is the date and time of this class? Thanks.

The snowfield below the Sitkum Glacier route on Glacier Peak Has hidden bergshrund(crevasses) near the top of said snowfield ! There was a crevasse rescue performed there on a solo inexperienced climber there Memorial Day weekend.He was in it all night before he was discovered.If in doubt, rope up. The victim was extracted and found to be in good shape lucky for him!

fury is the stuff of dreams.the crux is a wide 5.8 move off a ledge the lower section is quality 5.6/7. we went up the left side t o gain the ridge/notch.we took 8 pieces but wished we had brought a screw.1 tool if skilled.if you bivvied at luna pass you wouldnt have to carry over.more? write.w
