    going solo through hells highway on fisher chimney route would be terrifying.

    safe is a relative word. you may need to define your characteristic of a safe climb. I would say sahale peak from sahale arm side (not sahale glacier side) and maybe some lines up around the ptmarigan traverse side but I have not been over on that side. if hiking on somewhat mellow glacier solo is acceptable, I would suggest eldorado peak.

    As I get older my mountain choices get easier. to the point that most of my climbing I approach 2 minutes and I click into a auto belay.

    sre you rockin on hardboots on your split? which boot/binding combo? as usual, great photos and chris must have hid whenever you pulled camera out.

    Is your bouldering anything like this? https://www.tiktok.com/@thetiktokclimber/video/6958205854705405190?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Funofficialnetworks.com%2F&referer_video_id=6958205854705405190&refer=embed

    builder or boulder?

    I have been to the summit of baker maybe 60 times. Only stood on actual top for the first 6 or 7 times. after that , it just felt inappropriate and disrespectful to "conquer" that beautiful mountain. Just stood a couple feet below the summit and took photos for others.

    a new take on the John Scurlock mtn photography! surprising detail for a drone camera but what do I know about such things? bravo!

    n buttress col on colchuck but get a early start (headlamp) to avoid the morning sun on lower gulley. triple C dragontail should be good for a couple more weeks. I saw someones photo that the ice pitch looked thin or bare rock though. be prepared to go around that.

    the geographic spread of routes is rather unusual but I am an older guy so I may be missing something and afraid of change. I think a interesting guidebook, especially for beginners would be a comprehensive listing/description of routes that are easy to setup TR's on. All casual walk around to tops!

    you will be. eventually.

    May not matter but one thing that MV lacks is the real close world class mountain biking like Bellingham has.
  14. genepires
    Darin is a old school ‘ham curmudgeon. Bellingham was ruined in the 1990.

    ice season in snoq pass may be over. Look to the north facing alpine terrain but this is not the place for beginners to learn ice climbing. come later in summer, you may wish to look at the north side of baker, coleman glacier serac climbing. easy to setup TR's

    I think the tree would appreciate climbers stay in the gym even if one of their own is sacrificed for the cause.

    The only marker for a successful climb is if everyone gets home without a need for medical assistance. Fuck actual summits. Was it fun? Success.
  18. genepires
    Great photos here.
  19. genepires
    https://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/tripreport look here for TR searches. There are lots of lundin pk there.

    copyright issues? like copying verbage from other guidebooks? and the access issues? Shouldn't the access should have been sorted out before any route development happens? I suppose I could go on that thread but it sounds depressing.
  21. genepires
    photo op. looks like they walked from photographer to ridgeline and than back

    People may do strange things for a good photo. For all we know, heli drop the three and they booted 10 yards (or meters) back to heli.
  23. genepires
    interesting combination of human in photo. we got a group of three backcountry skiers (so not a heli ski outfit) and what looks like a guided group of three (based on the lead person rope coil choice) If in cascades and possibly early spring due to depth of bootpack, I can't think of any usual guided locations with that back drop. if it was accessible by non skiis, there should be lots more ski tracks.
  24. genepires
    SNOWSHOES? I thought you were allergic to slowshoes. looks fun. how is that area in summer?
  25. genepires
    I can not stand using online route guides while climbing. (like mtn proj and others) not only is it hard to navigate and find routes but staring at the damn phone while out there is against the spirit of climbing. flipping a page is so much better than a swipe and touch and swipe and touch. UGH.
