Yes, later in the season, and more like lowering into a crevasse and climbing out than walking up to a serac and climbing it like you can do at Baker. It's more or less just left of center as you look up from the toe of the Anniversary, or it was when I as there. August to October offers the most ice. The toe of the Joffre has real seracs but also icefall = not necessarily the best place to spend all day hanging out. I guess I meant WCI 1st edition rather than WCI Vol. 1

WCI vol. 1 covers the Joffre Lakes/Cerise area for serac practice (actually the best choice is the Anniversary, on the Cerise side). Other than that what more exactly do you need to know? You might find that rather than top-roping seracs, climbing couloirs and gullies offers good practice for easy water ice routes. In which case, check out the north faces of Wedge and Weart and other things like that.

The average American can't even find Canada on the map. Have fun invading Mexico with all that cold weather gear. You might find it hard to kill anyone there though; the inhabitants all moved to LA.

Couple of things currently to be aware of: Slesse Creek road (west side of the mountain) currently GATED at the Chilliwack Lake road, thus adding on 7km of road walking to the descent at minimum if coming down the west side. Nesakwatch Creek road reportedly washed out c. 5km - adding about 2km to the approach; NE butt is becoming snowfree, except for the mid-height ledge and near the junction of the Bypass and Original starts (see photo) but there is lots of snow at the base still and in other places. Don't forget someone was killed by toppling ice blocks while approaching across the Bypass Glacier in July last year.

i'm majoring in Life. you should try it.

OMG little bone, cascadeclimbers.com is your BATTLE GROUND? Is that what you call it when you and pink rub your dicks together?

there's something fishy about your keyboard, then

I should have called from my vonage phone. I wonder what would have happened? Would my conversation have been cut off instantly when she cancelled it? Would I have gotten free talking? Hmm... They would have billed you at $50 per second system access fee for unauthorized account usage.

Latest Rage at Smith has 4 bolts in a 60 foot route. Please calculate maximum fall. That's not atypical for older Smith sport routes. Not to mention the belayer jumps = softer catch thing that also increases fall length.

It looks like it would be about 6-8 pitches. Summit log says FA took 10.5 hours. There was one repeat with a variation (direct?) start recorded in the 86 CAJ

Like many Oregon climbers, you have no idea how rotten granite can get.

omg, you're right, bolt every crack at smith i have seen plenty of falls onto gear at smith that didn't break rock, and even taken a few, including some onto small gear like purple TCUs. climbing tuff is no different than climbing any other type of rock, you have to judge your gear placements and when in doubt over gear or rock quality on a specific route, climb accordingly.
