I posted a tr long ago that warned of a particularly dangerous flake at the first belay opportunity after the Pressure Chamber pitch. It was used many times by unsuspecting climbers/belayers for decades. If it is that one , I am glad it went off without injuries or worse.

Miss you big D.

Nice one. Rumor has it that this route may make it into a new "select" guide.

Amazing work, musta been fun.

I feel your pain, try Mt. Project too.

Rumor has it that there is a wi5 line that forms on the Mowich. Heard 2nd hand so...

Looks good, keep it up!

The weather looks like most of my trips there! Sweet report.

Bob, did you hear about this? Second Ascent added 2 new photos — with Will Hinckley and Braden Downey. January 17 at 1:04pm · Edited · From the guys that brought you "Fast & Light in the Alaska Range" did it again on one of Washington's formidable beasts. Last week Will Hinckley & Braden Downey climbed what is known to be the ‪#‎secondascent‬ of the Polish Route on Colfax Peak with difficulties of run-out sections up to WI6. Will states, "It's by far the best ice line I've been on in Washington and it's definitely deserving of more traffic."

This thread inspired me to revamp an old profile on my website, thanks! 1) Have climbed. Zodiac Temple S.Pickets traverse Mongo Springbok 2) Capable of but have not climbed. Real Big Drip Cryophobia Rocketman Stanley Headwall big Patagonia tower 3) Admire but will never climb. Himalaya giant Ogre, Nanga, etc Helmekin Infinite Bliss

Sounds like a case of Curmudgeonitis, I feel the lure as a older climber, there is getting to be sooo many new people in the sport to add to the aggravation, but I have nothing but love for the new generation, and good things will come out of it. They seem to want to grow and do the right thing. I am seeing a lot of wierd rope work and such though. They need good examples from our generation. Hang in there.

My condolences to all the friends and family. Tough loss.

Trip: Weeping Pillar, and Hydrophobia - Date: 1/15/2015 Trip Report: Did a couple of crazy routes In the Canadian Rockies this week. Weeping Pillar is on the Upper Weeping Wall. One has to climb a route on the Lower Weeping Wall to access the Upper. We did Sniveling Gully to conserve strength. Hydrophobia is an insane, fun 3 pitch route in a hard-to-get to place in the Ghost. Also did Twisted, and Curtain Call. Conditions are great right now. Hasnt snowed in a couple of weeks, and most things are fat. Temps are perfect right now = around freezing. More on https://waynewallace.wordpress.com/2015/01/17/weeping-pillar-and-hydrophobia/

Right back at you big fella. Glad you landed intact. and soon when only bouldering is done all this ropey stuff wont matter anyways.

Ramada Inn. Window Rock Cabin(may be full?Plaid may have it reserved and have room?) The place just south of the brewhouse has a hot tub and is affordable. Best to arrange online ahead of time for max savings. That being said, one can also try alternatives like couchsurf, craigslist etc. I did a ride share there off craigslist with a lovely British gal. Made the drive more adventurous, affordable. I am also developing friends to stay with there in Bozeman too. It is great, but obligates you to climb and socialize with your hosts. There are much worse problems to have than that though. Have fun Marko! Going with Rat?
