Climb with this dude, what a strong partner!

YES!, There are still large blocks that must be mantled over! Save a yellow Metolious for plugging in above the blocks. It would be great to clear these off the route. Maybe a ranger could clear the base area and a party could trundle them off? Also the retreat rope is still up there quite a ways to the right of pitch 1. Another retrieval trip would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, and glad your party got back safe.

Trip: - Acid Baby-YATR Date: 9/1/2012 Trip Report: YATR: Yet another trip report And get ready for a lot more, this is a GREAT climb!, beware though, the top of the 4/5th pitch still has loose blocks right before the belay. Is this where last months accident occured? Save a small yellow Metolius for plugging in above them. I cover more on my website . Thank you CascadeClimbers for salvaging this trip for me!

The best photo set I have seen in a long time, thanks.

Wow nice, I hope to get some old pards together on something like this, not sure I have shaken off that 20 something drive though. thanks for posting the fine report.

Great! Nice job you guys!..and gals. I had made a run on that one myself in the 90s. We had a snowstorm that kept us off the route, but we summited the SW Peak via the SW Ridge. makes a great descent route too as it gets you back to the col quickly. But, hey you got the West peak in too! Thats the only one left to do for myself.

It is already cold in Siberia. That is usually a good indicator. http://www.wunderground.com/global/Region/AS/Temperature.html

They have that G, Its called the Sierras. FWA's here for the taking??

Nice report! Thanks ,

Ah the double challenge. Good job, and good luck Scotty!

Wash with baking soda?

Great report, thanks for the work you put into it. Would it have been better to do it earlier in the year when there is more snow cover?

Now that guy did some amazing stuff! So cool to hear of his legacy he left for us to amaze at. He has the comfort of those experiences and was at his home. I hope for wellness and healing for his family.

Sik shot Tom!!! I can hardly believe it myself, these days. Thanks.

Real nice Tom, and Steph. Any good shots of Mongo?

Your first time in there? Thats a long hump.

Interesting rock, Thanks for the report,Mate

Are you saying the place sucks? I added a litttle more to the review on my blog , and crossed the line into blatant spam whore territory.

Gosh Steph, we expected so much more from you. All kidding aside though, Great job in them mountains sister! That haul over Easy Pass prolly not so easy?

It is out, the Northwest Oregon Rock/Ice guide! I wasn't expecting it, and it surprised me greatly. The trend in Tims series gradually had less content as the new editions came out. This one obliterated that trend with an exhaustingly complete catalogue of nearly all of the major ares as well as dozens of the obscure. Such a treat for the adventure groveler. Areas include 80 different climbing areas from south to Eugene north to St Helens. East to Hells Canyon. From winter mixed on Illumination Rock, to a brief section on the Menagerie. He also included Gorge Ice! The Wolf Rock section is amazing. Absent is the Portland area crags, and the Beacon area, but he has covered that well in the past efforts. Not since the Dodge guide have we seen a book that covers so much of Northern Oregon. Hats off to you Tim, and thanks for nearly 20 years of hard work in your public service to us all, Wayne Buy it here, for surprisingly little $ : http://www.portlandrockclimbs.com/portland-rock-climbs Its the 2nd book down the list.

Yes it is a complete work. 20 years in the making. Got my copy last week and it is stunning!

Looks like something I would do. What is the L part of FLA? loving?

Thats great Guys. Nice job! Glad we have the Stuart Range.

Good report! *note* Girth Pillar parties often go over the N ridge to approach to the upper rock section, Rather than starting with the Ice Cliff.
