I went up there 3 days ago and it was just very windy and cold. We got a small dusting of snow in the morning which turned into rain at about 6000ft or so. Have a good time.

I don't have a lot of details, I will find out tomorrow when I go back to work what happened. At this point I do know that his condition is serious but stable. I have spoke to the people at the hospital where he was taken. [ 02-24-2002: Message edited by: chris rieman ]

Earlier today there was a 27 year old male who took a fifty foot fall at the Feathers. All I know since I was not working today is that he was in critical condition and was going to be flown by helicopter possibly to Harborview in Seattle. May our thoughts be with him. Climb safely.

aw come on! I just did what anybody else would've done. It was great to just swing an axe. Happy climbing this next week, it should be pretty good if we get the temps. they're predicting! [ 01-26-2002: Message edited by: chris rieman ]

Went up to Banks yesterday the 24th and played around on The Absent Minded Professor but you have to get up there really early or else around 10:00 or so it really starts to run and break up but it was fun to get on something that resembled ice up there. Early next week there are supposed to be lows in the single digits with highs in the upper 20's for 3 days or so, that should help!

I went up to check on Devil's Punch Bowl on 12/30 and it had formed but got warm about 10:00 and started breaking up pretty bad. There were 2 people who were going to try the Absent Minded Professor, it looked solid enough. I'll be going back on 1/3/02 so there will be an update then.

Asolo AFS Guide plastic mountaineering boots size 10 1/2. Great pair of boots I bought as a second set a month ago because I was told they were 11's. Approx. 3 years old, boot is green and ASOLO is written in yellow. They are in great condition. E-mail at iceclimbguy@hotmail.com or call cell phone (509)251-1136. Paid $125 a month ago but they're not doing me any good so make an offer!
