Nice TR, looks like you guys had a blast!

Somehow I misplaced, or lost, my whole cluster of stoppers. Ugh! Looking to replenish my set with some used nuts (I am still holding out hope that I can find them). Anyone have a set of random stoppers they want to sell or trade for beer? Thanks in advance! I live in Seattle. Tim H

Haha. We did the same thing back in July this year. "Traversed", then climbed over a big dongler type thing...then up a gross red dihedral thing with grass and very little gear to be had. Such fun! The photo I am attempting to attach in on the "Dongler Traverse"...

Thanks for a great trip and the sweet pictures, Amigo! That route was super fun - Oh!

Looks like a fun day out, Laddy! Thanks for sharing! Must be lots of scrappy lines up in that neck of the woods!

Hey, I don't know where these came from, but I don't want them any more. Maybe someone out there wants to play with them on glacier ice, or make an art installation? Let me know if you're interested and I will set them out for you in Fremont. Text me 851-9980, local A.C. Cheers, Tim

We climbed Crowder, Swiss and Spectre in that neck of the woods. JasonG will likely put up at TR on the trip...once he edits the 1000's of photos. You should try to get back there...such a great camp! Again, nice work on such a well-executed trip!

Nice work and TR, guys...congrats! Glad you found something rad to do in there...and I am stoked to hear there are still a few gems out there! We were camped at Pickell Pass on the 24th and 25th...perhaps we could see you in our photos in we zoomed waaaaay in!

Great write up! That's a nice area for sure! So many interesting rock formations in that neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing! Any chance you found a single green CAMP aluminum crampon in Surprise Basin? I lost it last fall on my Clark trip.

Just got back from doing the NR yesterday. There is now fresh purple tat and a locking biner on the summit block for the east ledges rap descent. I believe this was recently added by NCNP rangers. What a great route!

Great work, guys! And congrats to Morgan for finishing that list in styyyyyyle! Hey, if you're gonna do a list, you might as well do it in style, Bro! Sorry I missed out on this one, though I probably couldn't have kept up with you cats! BooM!

Hey there, my BD Phantom 45L backpack is on it's last leg. Need a replacement for upcoming awesomeness this summer. Anyone have a decent pack suitable for multi-day trips out there? I am a 5'-8" gentleman. Although some would argue I am neither gentle, nor a man. My job just ended, so just trying to keep costs down... Thanks, Tim 2068519980

Hi there. While descending Mt. Clark above Royal Basin last fall, I took a spill and along the way one of my crampons fell off my backpack. The snow is likely melting fast up there, and maybe, just maybe, someone will find it. It is up there in Surprise Basin, just below some really cool rock features that a all freaky-looking! I know its a long shot, but if anyone happens to come across the beauty, a green CAMP aluminum crampon, I will happily buy you a 12-pack of your choice for its safe return. BTW - the Corkscrew Route on Mt. Clark is a super fun way to spend a day! Thanks! Tim H therunningdog @ yahooooooooo

Well, since I was going to retire my tele boots LAST year at this time, and still put another 25 days on them, it's now absolutely time to retire these things... Looking for a pair of tele boots that are maybe picking up dust in your basement... Something solid for at least a few years. I am a size 26.5 or US shoe size 10. Thanks so much! Shoot me an email at therunningdog at yahoo. Tim

Nice shots! Looks like a beautiful day!
