It can gunk up locking biners, biner gates and pulley bearings.

A climber friend of mine from the PNW has been living in California for the past 4 years, now it looks like he's moving to Bainbridge Island. Is there any climbing on the island? If not it's only half an hour to Seattle right?

Did you do the pruning with your adze?

There's a huge amount of blue ice in the upper Magnesia and Harvey Creek basins, weeping out where snowmelt is funnelled over cliffs. I'm not sure exactly what is what below the Lions but we saw several things that could have been Marmalade, Ad Agents in Space etc. while looking down from Harvey. And the long-range is for cold in the shade all week up there.

well they are even better now, and there's a couple of nicely spaced hacked-out ledges for calf recovery

Renton?

well, truthfully, no crowds except at Penny Lane where those darn girls Fern and Mer and J snaked a route before I got there!

Squamish on Saturday had high friction and no crowds.

BTW thanks for kicking us the nice steps

Yeah we saw that too. I could still see the top of the roof of the Mag Meadows emergency shelter sticking out of the snow, maybe you could dig it out and winter camp there overnight and get in an alpine WI weekend? Cause Magnesia Meadows is a little bit far to approach for day cragging, for me anyways.

if you are going downhill faster than the avalanche, you're safe right?

Sure was a good weekend

The summit is looking pretty Pataguccian

It was probably dropped sometime after you cut right off the ridge crest and start dropping thru the forest. But it could be anywhere between the summit and the junction with the Lions Trail, which is where we noticed it was missing. Approach still has signage. But really, first left is to Brunswick, second left is to Harvey NF. Pup's Butt takes the right side of the lower stuff (hidden 2-pitch ice filled chimney below that) then the icy dogleg crack to hidden snow slabs above then more ice-filled cracks to da summit.

If it's not powder you should be CLIMBING not skiing.

Hey buddy, don't get "sore" and don't give me none of your "lip"

BTW my friend lost one of her crampons accidentally during the hike down the Mt Harvey trail. If anyone finds it please be aware that a reward has been issued.

NW Face of Pup NF of Harvey, left of Great Gut (top vis. at far right) . I have seen this stuff fatter but melting out, one other time. Pups Butt on Ice

Trip: Harvey - NF Ramp Date: 1/28/2007 Trip Report: Styro the whole way. Quite good conditions. Fat WI2 and 3 bulges available on left side for playtime. WI2 finish is in if you go straight up from top of ramp instead of traversing left. Thanks to whomever left a nice line of kicked steps up it, yesterday? Of particular note there is a shitload of ice on the true NF, in the Gut and up the Pup Butt. If you can climb Scottish VII/VIII and have a rack of Spectres or Warthogs (for ice filled cracks) you'd probably dig it. Gear Notes: Took gear for walk. Placed one picket at snack break/crampon adjustment point 1/3 of the way up. Approach Notes: Walk to base, 1.5 hours. Little bit of postholing but not enough for snowshoes.
