For Seattlites (and a few PDX'rs included) everything from Hood, to Lillooet and Point of the Arches to Bozman are considered "local".

Good Jorb Guys My driveway was WI1+ this morning. Should have taken some pictures.

Typical Leavenworthinisms

Good looking photos :tup: Hopefully that lower section of ice stays put for a while this year

That lower section is looking way fatter than last year, missed out this weekend I guess

Jeez, I forgot to listen to this pod cast, man I've been missing out I guess. Fuck what do I know

Did that stuff on the East end of Exit 38, about the Black Ice area still look good? It was thin when I drove by on Sunday, but I was thinking another day or so, it might go.

Props dog :tup: That Snoqualmie stuff looks better than I've seen it in a couple years

The little lady might come tonight, too.

I disagree with that. This ice newb has been on several WI5 lines this year (TR of course) and if you are a strong 5.10 climber there really is no reason to TR a route of this grade. It's true that you probably should think twice about leading something like this, but immersion is the best method for learning (at least for me) IMHO. Climbing with mine over the weekend worked fine. Only one question, does climbing with one loose crampon "up" the grade any?

Make sure to get the WA Ice book. Some good TR's at Banks: Trosky's Folly WI3-4 (below and left of the Devil's Punchbowl) Upper half (or full if you tie two ropes together) of Zenith WI5 Children of the Sun WI5 (sweet telephone pole belay ) The Cable WI5 (two ropes) Champagne WI5 (two ropes) Most of the Beer climbs at Soap Lake All these can be TR'd by walking around to the top, though COTS can be pratically driven to.

Good news :tup:

Looking like a good year :tup: Anyone been out to Whistler and seen what's in?

Temps are looking good for next weekend. Nice photos :tup:

More like Snice!! Looks good up there these days

That's funny Matt, the cat I have that looks exactly like yours does the same thing to my gear. I have since learned and now have a dedicated room with a door for all my gear. :tup: They are cute, but sometimes I seriously think about kicking a field goal with the little fur balls.

When are we gonna have a West Seattle Pub Club?? Anyway, call it and I'll try to make it.

Nice photos :tup:

Sweet :tup:

Is that the Great Couloir on the right upper edge??

I'm sure Alex is also Max'd this weekend

This sounds like fun
