  1. You guys had a proud trip and a good adventure. A couple previous kayak-to-Wadd trips had better luck approaching from Bute inlet. Might want to think about that way for next time. You can see the monster slide that ripped down off Lang/Three Fingers into Glacier Bay in that one photo. The walls also have a lot more veg in the cracks than they do in Yosemite.
  2. I was gonna say, looks more like a debris flow than an avalanche - looks like WSDOT beat me to it.
  3. Highway 1 - closed at Hunter Creek due to debris slides Highway 3 - closed at Sumallo Bluffs due to avalanche hazard Highway 5 - closed at Jarvis Bluffs due to landslide Highway 1 - Yale to Jackass Summit - "driving caution due to falling ice reported."
  4. If you guys read the MCR report you'll see it had been -9 a few days ago and was -20C or so on the day, on its way down to -30...
  5. Looks to me like it was preplanned cause they wanted to get a big fall on video.
  6. 2-day rainfall for Hope is now predicted as 200mm which is a 1 in 10-year event. However with the snowmelt this could be the equivalent of >250mm when it comes to creating runoff...
  7. http://www.gravsports-ice.com/icethreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2402#Post2402 Hanging stuff often breaks when the temp changes. Note also the gravsports report about the Johnson Canyon pillar falling as soon as the sun hit it.
  8. And not only that, it looks like there was no TP left on the roll.
  9. You've been given just enough rope already.
  10. I've got a 9mm here for you.
  11. It looks like he was trying to drop a coil on someone skiing below and fell out of the chair while doing so.
  12. The 30-year record, 24-hour rainfall for Hope is 173mm or about 7 inches. 20 inches in 48 hours is nutz. I can see that for the wet west side of the Olympics and Van Island where they get up to 400mm/24h, but I don't think the Cascades are gonna get anywhere near 20 inches.

  14. Maybe you can get one made out of tinfoil. Then you'll be able to take off your foil hat inside it!
  15. I heard somewhere that if you tell other people your resolutions it is a sure sign you will fail to keep them.
  16. Not enough snafflehounds and too many nutz.

  18. I pee on your flaring temper. That sounds painful, but antibiotics might help.
  19. If you die can I have your stuff?
  20. Homeland Security? Yeah I'm making pipe bombs at home but just to set off avalanches - not cause I'm a terrorist. Really. My name is hardly even Muslim!
  21. Good rock gym. (Beyond the Crux) Ice accessible after work is nonexistant. Stay off the strip and out of Rutland bars and you should be OK.
  22. Black and White to L/As Seen on TV to R Two shots from Another Day
  23. It must have been your belay parka that made you look so fat.
  24. Everything you can see on NWP is in and fairly fat, but the lower part that is hidden in the gully is thin like normal.
