^^ This is a good recommendation. Ski the whole way, probably start and finish on snow, some glacier travel required. Don't skip the summit. If your group is fit enough and you're lucky wit da wedder you can ski some of the oh-so-lovely terrain above Sphinx Bay before the luge down the trail below Garibaldi Lake.

Climbed there mid-late December last year during a serious cold snap, below freezing temps, south-facing sun-drenched cracks (there are plenty of them) were still tolerable.

I clicked on this thread to see the blue bounce.

That's great. I just climbed on the Malamute for my first time last week. Incredible!

Would anyone like to climb at Squamish on Saturday? I have rope, rack, like to lead and can get myself to Squamish. Please hollah. Same username @gmail.

Thanks to all three of you! That climb was a blast and pitches 3-5 were crazy fun.

That dog is killing it.

^^^That's some sick beta from my oubliette in the lab. Go capitalize on that and quit sending me bullshit emails, Dan!

If the damned glaciers and icecaps would melt already, perhaps the resulting dilution would counteract this imminent threat. Slogan of the Lone Star Oyster Bar: Shuck me, suck me, eat me raw! Il raisonne comme une huitre.

Yeah Huge Jeffner! You go, buddy!

I recall no such thing. But I do plenty of 180s over similar periods. I love the huts up here, but I'll readily mock them compared to the shelters in the Alps!

Glad you had a good weekend. That is a nice shelter, for Washington.

Yes, the last one was Generic Crack. I loved climbing through the pods; it was like doing a layback on a hand jam. What a fun pitch!

I was intrigued by that chapter of Fifty Favorite Climbs. Nice to read another take on it.

Right on, Dan. When are you going to get your passport?

Trip: Utah - Desert Daze - Whatever's in the Sun Date: 12/27/2009 Trip Report: After taking shelter from the hordes of pagans and eating matza soup in Park City, we decided to ski Timpanogos on our way to Indian Creek. The views above Provo are pretty awesome; I need to return to ski the West Face. Then we drove to Moab and found a cheap hotel for the frigid desert night. The next day we were all elated on first sight of Indian Creek. Then we were climbing sheer splittery bliss. Bliss became wideness I like the sun. The next day we drove through snow to the Needles Overlook. The view down toward the Colorado River was a spectacular moonscape, with added contrast from the snow. Then Davide made post-beer preparations for redemption. Couturier in effect. I nearly lost my hands to the deep freeze while cleaning this. Cecile searches for the elusive butt-jam. Stoked before a pitch that redefines my idea of a nice hand crack. yeah baby, yeah And it just don't stop. Get some, buddy. Then the snow came, I saw my mom and sister for the first time in years, and we skied flat Colorado powders. A shot of Rio Grande Gorge. HAPPY NEW YEAR Gear Notes: Too much shit for an airplane, but it was worth it. Approach Notes: I'm moving somewhere sunny.

Thanks for the awesome party!

I think we already claimed our bragging rights? http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/914707

I might try to con my way into CERN one of these days, but that's not the job for me!

^^ Happy birthday, dude.

Thanks for a great time, buddy! I agree about the pitch off Snafflehound Ledge. I would've been raining haterade on Eric when I realized it would be his lead, had I not led it previously.

Failure? Redefine success, my friend.
