Holy crap that's a lot of people! I knew hood got crowded but I never imagined *that* many people.

Myabe next time you should post something earlier than one month later?

nice job guys, looks like it was a fun trip. The north cascades were great this weekend, despite the sometimes iffy weather. It's awesome to head out on memorial day weekend and not see any other people.

I think it's a kind of devil's club?

Don't worry, I'm not going in there this weekend. But, in any event, I agree. I've been there before, it's one of my least favorite areas. I'm only going back cause I left some gear there.

Thanks for the info. It's not so much that I want to ski Dome (I plan on skiing the traverse as a whole also) but that I think I'll need flotation of some sort and skis are almost always less shitty than snowshoes, ya know?

Yo. What's the brush bash up bachelor creek on the dome peak approach like? Am I crazy man for thinking I can pack skis through there? It's only at around 3500 feet so I'm thinking the brush is going to be pretty exposed by now.

BWAAHAHAH Haha, you fucking jackass, listen to you. I'll pray that mohammed doesn't rain down rocks on your head for believeing in Jesus then, you fecal felcher.

If it was me personally, I would aim to hit the "ice" pitches between couliors 1 and 2 by sunrise, but that's just me. I'd rather trade some sleep for colder conditions. If the ice isn't there, just be prepared to find some way to bypass that section.

It's been skied before. Extremo, that shit is below your level.

It's been skied before anyway.

It's gonna be warm this WE. Climb early, man.

Alison is right on this one. She owns a copyright to that music and she can replace it however possible. If the end result is an extra copy being out there in the world, that's the theives fault, not hers. Oh yeah, and FUCK THE RIAA.

Shit, cavey hates me cause I'm too nice, or so he says, and you hate me cause I'm too mean. I'm so confused...I need Oprah and Dr. Phil.

Zero Cam is specially designed to flex all the way to the head. That placement would hold. Any other microcam placed that way would RIP! Get ZeroCams they rock. Or Metolius if you want slightly larger sizes cheaper ALIENS ARE JUNK AND SUCK More great advice from the guy who climbs so much he can spray 364 days a year. C'mon, Dru, like everything else they have their pros and their cons. I've been damn happy to have aliens with me on several occasions. I do want some zerocams too tho, they look very useful.

Dude...55 or *SO*...for all we know it was pushin' 60! When you are that rad you can be non chelant (sp?) about a mere 55 degrees!

bwaahhaahahh...I didn't catch that. 55 degrees max. I call a fat bullshit on that. People (myself included) have a very hard time distinguishing actual slope angle. In reality, most double black diamonds at ski areas push around 45 if you're lucky. I bet adrenaline at alpental is 50 or 55 maybe, and that's for only 30 feet at best. Aside from maybe 1 or 2 things at crystal, that's the steepest "marked run" I can think of in the state.

Yeah, I thought about it last time I was there. It's not that hard of a ski if you rap the ice section. Now granted, if you biff, you get flushed big time.

it's quite charming, huh?

So you are set on bouldering for those days, is that correct?

Too bad you don't have a teenage daughter. I'd be more than happy to keep her out of trouble...

Utah is for mormons. Why not just do something around here for the 3 days? You'll get more climbing and less driving anyway. see, there is an upside.

Yeah, fuckstick, I know how to read a map and I've looked at it. I'm certainly not going to decide to go or not based on what somebody here says, but personal beta may be helpful.
