that sucks , i was hoping this weekend

My nemesis at the moment is the north face of mount buckner. I have failed twice, damn boston peak.

Chains are now required at stevens pass and for baker highway. My car cant take chains. If anyone is headed out to a lift and can take another passenger, it would be most appreciated. thanks joshua

If anyone is heading to the lifts tommorow or friday, especially thursday and has room for a rider, please let me know. Muchos Gracias. Joshua

I definitely want to ski from thursday-sunday, hopefully twice. either backcountry or lift. i am leaning towards baker or stevens area. anyone interested. joshua

Hi, If the storm hits as expected, there will be tons of mountain snow with very low freezing levels. Thait is awesome, but my car will not be able to handle that because it cant take chains. If anyone is heading out to baker or stevens either backcountry or the lifts on anyday between thursday-saturday, please let me know. thanks joshua

Hey, I was also throwing the west ridge of north twin sister this weekend, but was curious about the road and gate to get there. Do you guys know how long the approach is and if you need a bike or not? Thanks

Hi, Has anybody been up to any of the washington pass mountains lately, mainly cuthroat or the liberty bell group. I was just wondering how much snow is on the rocks up there. thanks

Hi, Has anybody been up to any of the snoqualmie pass mountains lately, around 6000 feet. I was just wondering how much snow is on the rocks up there. thanks

Hi, if anyone finds scott ski goggles on the trail on green mountain(off suattle river road) please contact me. they have duck tape on the back of them. hopefully someone finds them before they are buried by the new snow. thanks. joshua jstern77@u.washington.edu

On the ridge you cross over to get access to the eldorado glacier, I came across a mesh bag of climbing gear this past weekend. It contained a harness, i think a black diamond bod, i am not sure as my friend has it, a few old biners, a red sling, and some purple/blue prussiks. the bag looked like it had been chewed a little bit by marmots. if this is anyones, let me know.

Had he said something like, "I hear its real thin" or "my friend had a look and backed off", that would have been a much different statement. Making a statment as strong as 'its not in condition' says more about the climber than the route, something I always keep in mind. I am glad your friends enjoyed the east ridge, it was a fabulous weekend to be in the mountains. Hey dan, I didnt even know that my friend posted this before I had a chance to read your report. Great job on the route, and it was a super weekend to be in the mountains. I just wanted to say that I thought i said that "I heard that the route was not in shape" and after i said that, i thought that maybe i shouldnt have said anything and then i continued to say that a friend of a friend went up there and told my other friend that it wasnt in shape. Maybe it wasnt in shape or maybe it was and he didnt like it or maybe it got better with all this cold weather we have been having. I do hate when people tell me that i cant do a certain climb and that wasnt the point i was trying to get across. enjoy, joshua

Peak bagging was at first important, but now it doesnt mean anything to me. If I go up an easy route, I do it for the views, relaxation in the mountains, photography, not to tick a peak.

Hey, I want to get rid of my telemark gear and get some randonnee. Does anybody have any opinions about bindings: fritschi diamir, dynafit, silveretta also on boots: scarpa lazer or others? thanks Josh

Sorry Vegetable, I didnt mean to piss you off,but my roomate split on me and i am paying both rents to live here and i cant afford it so i am desperately trying to get somebody in here. josh

Boston Basin all the way. Much faster then Sahale Arm. There are cool cracks to look at also. There is this one freakin crack that is so big and deep, i thought it was a nice plateau to take a break. i ran up to it and it was this freakin big ass crack. also much more beautiful to be at the boston-sahale col and more fun of a climb from down there.

Frostbite ridge is a very fun climb. Jim Nelson rates it a grade III, but I disagree. I did it about 3 weeks ago. There was some ice below the rabbit ears and we ran into 50-60 degree ice before the summit. A tool and screws were useful and fun. That was the only time the rope was used. We descended the Sitkum in a complete witeout and only saw 1 crevasse and it was pretty small. I agree, that is a boring snow walk and the upper part doesnt even have snow, there is a path through dirt for 1000 feet.
