I have seen dead man flukes fashioned to work fixed onto ice axes for the deep stuff. Colin used them on Cerro. Rime that I have encountered in the depths of winter on Hood has been almost unclimbable. After Pineapple Express storms or cold spring days, it alot better, you can even get screws in the stuff at times. I wrote a thing on it in the next Hood guide coming out soon ->(Hopefully )

I can echo both of those sentiments now as well. I lasted 1 route before I taped!

Trip: Trout Creek - Date: 4/9/2011 Trip Report: [video:youtube] Spent 3 great days with Kelly( tanstaafl), and the gang climbing the splitter cracks at Trout Creek. I am always stoked to climb there plenty of great routes in the 5.10-5.11 range and they are all 4 stars. Ran into the legendary Yosemite climber mark Hudon as well. Temps are starting to get into season there. We had 1 cold day. No bugs or fishermen yet. More on my blog below.

Thought I would load a couple of topos.

Great report. Surdriving the road!

Looks like I have the 2nd week in may booked, anyone want to go sooner? I am interested in Astroman/Rostrum, Red Rocks ( Rainbow wall, Levitation 29), desert towers.

I am flexible with times/places. Would love to go do desert towers.

Yes, prizes are great. but I need clarification on which contest we are discussing. The March tr or the all time? Is there an efficient voting page? Clarity is nice.

I am looking for someone to go to Trout Creek this weekend . trad heaven. fri, sat,sun

Looking for 1-2 people to head to Trout Creek from Seattle for 2-4 days around the weekend. I will be meeting friends there so partnership is flexible.

Did the route today. It is So nice!! Thanks Dave!

Terrific job he has done over the years/decades. Selflessly preserving and illuminating history.

Nice Craig, great vid. Here is a picture of you and Marko doing the dirty work.

Nice! Awesome tr. Glad to see these old routes getting more and updated traffic. I am planning a photo shoot of the T monster whenever it opens again. Gotta climb the damn thing twice

Wow, what an update, thanks and be careful Frankz

Snow totals through the week on Baker are insane. Noaa Linky link

[video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FszuMzKPz-4 I dont know if you have played at the new club house yet, but it is cool. An indoor, an outdoor and the above video is @ one of new their drytool walls. They are looking to do more aggressive classes, and asked me to maybe help teach it.I believe I am excited about joining the club, it sounds like there is some fun new blood there. Yes they will still be choking out the easy crags at times, but the represent a part of the community. Is it possible we can all help make that better, rather than only dissing it? The Dry tool wall site There will be announcements on the place. I am encouraging them to do an open house.

Video not available. Hope it is sometime. That guy paid his dues to history tfs

Man the potlucks were the best part . figgers

Thanks! Great to see these things, again.

I just heard from Geoff G.that they are towing and ticketing all overnight parking in all lots. I hope this is not true.
