Climb: Enchantments- Then the storm came. Our Betamid collapsed early in the night from the weight of the snow accumulating in the saddle (our poles were less-than-ideal tree branches -- we accidently forgot them at home).
So did the tent sag because of the tree branchs or does this happen with this tarp and wet snow? I would think the golite hex or megamid would shed snow better.

I would be down for anytime, Great fun. I had thought Tyler would have forgotten but out of the blue he just said when are we going to have smores? couldn't figure out where he had em. But then he said "DADDDD, when we went camping" How do they remember that is amazing.

Not sure if it a "least tagged summit" but wondering if anyone has tagged bears breast?
-
did you find that on mytopo.com
-
Yes, and pay particular attention to the part that says WIND. I don't think it ever stops blowing there from my recolection.

And for all those inclined to try this (flying cliff glissade) make sure you get enough momentum to clear potential moat problems, and throw your ice axe before you land.

Hahahah...I remember that exact section of that climb (Lee? Tom? Look familiar?).
OMFG, that is a great picture chuck of the move from hell. That slab is slicker than snot, been there and done that twice. I know there has to be a better way around this, but always seem to get funneled in right to it.

My guess, it is further to the east then say stevens pass. It has Jack,logan,goode, and glacier peak all sucking the precip out before it gets to the WA pass area.
-
The gullies on the east side are sucky... well, they were in summer and fall when I've been there.
very good advice, they are even worse in winter. But it's all good. A very fun climb and not sure why it isn't done much more.

Awesome pic's, way to tear it up.

Nice tom, glad ya had a good day to get out.

Poking through a used book store I found accidents in mountaineering 1968,1974,and 1976 for a buck a piece.
Anyway, 0ut of the 1976 book there was an accident/snow slide up on the torment-forbidden traverse. They never found the dude. I wonder if they ever did find him eventually?
And of course learn by the mistakes of others, long story short, he grabbed a loose block for a handhold. The accident is labeled as an involuntary glissade, fall into a crevasse unroped.

where, where, WHERE?? is that pic taken

Nate does have some great stories. Way to go Nate
I will add another, as when I think of Nate I think of the time we did a conditioning climb up to Muir. Coming up over panorama dome there was a fella with 2 chicka's, the 2 chicka's were topless. Trying hard not to look as we passed but that one chicka had some HUGE knockers. I have heard of running into naked ladys while climbing but that is my first.

Yeah those eagles were a bonus. Counted 5 of em all just riding around on the updrafts.

Ahhhh, I knew you looked a bit familiar. Must have seen your mug shot here on cc.com. You were the dude with curly hair, yelling and having fun, with a chica in blue? Right on, it was an awesome day to be out there.

A party of Cascadians- Dave Maher,55
I think you meant this Dave Mahre,
Dave Mahre was born in Yakima on August 8, 1927. He graduated from high school in 1945 and served in the Merchant Marines in 1945-46. He began climbing in 1948 without any special equipment, clothing or instruction. In 1950, while climbing Mt Adams, he met Lex Maxwell, "who bawled him out because he didn't have good equipment." Sometime after his encounter with Lex Maxwell, Dave became a Cascadian. He became one of the Northwest's best climbers, with first ascents on Mt Rainier, Little Tahoma, Mt Adams and Mt Stuart. Dave worked for his father in farming until 1962. That year, he started working full time as mountain manager of the White Pass Ski Area. He moved his family to White Pass in December 1966.

5 Worst Routes in PNW
in Climber's Board
Posted
1-any climb with more driving than climbing.
2-Whitehorse snow gulch rte, Hit it at the perfect timing and could be a great climb. Any other time it sucks (2 failed attempts).
3- Heart of gold in 11worth. A great rte but we ended up taking the sucker left hand path at the top of the 2nd pitch and missed the heart of gold pitch that is hidden to the right. Then rapped the rte instead of walking down and around.
4-Adams S rte, to many people.
5-S ridge of Ingalls, Nice outing but tech part to short.
