    The rock was exceptionally solid and remarkably splitter, with bomber gear exactly where you might want it.

    The only other sign of people we saw was the fire scar and some fishing line at the final campsite, which we packed out. It'd be great to keep it that way for the future.

    Well said my friend! Thanks to you and Joseph for sharing the trip with us!! Congrats on an epic adventure!!!! Fantastic TR.

    Looking to get out this Tues and / or Weds. Probably most interested in Leavenworth or Snoqualmie Pass. I climbed Goatee and at the Millenium Wall today, yesterday at Rainbow Falls. I'm leading WI 3/4. Have all needed ice gear.

     

    Give me a call if interested:

    I'm going to be living in Mazama this winter. I'm looking for climbing partners.

     

    Looking to get out on ice, rock, and alpine routes. I backcountry ski too. No snowmobile (yet!)...

     

    I work as a ski patroller at Snoqualmie Pass and am work-less until we open (soon?!). When we get rolling my schedule varies, but I typically have weekends and a couple of weekdays free.

     

    If you're up for adventuring in the Mazama, Leavenworth, or Snoqualmie Pass area give me a call or email.

     

    Cheers,

    I'm looking to get out tomorrow (Sunday). I have screws, rope, tools, etc. (And a car)

     

    I've climbed at Mist falls a couple of times, but have climbed maybe 40 pitches of ice elsewhere.

     

    I'm also interested in Monday / Tues if the ice holds.

    Got back to that nice little piece just up the road from Bridge Creek twice this week. Thursday, with Dave Allyn, started at the lowest point and climbed SIX pitches, mostly easy, WI2 except for the last which would have made WI3. Dave had never led ice before, but as forgiving as the flow is, we swapped leads, and he cranked his first three leads on water ice. As we exited, heading down to get me to town for a Drs appointment, we noticed above the exit route a SEVENTH pitch that looked longer/steeper than anything we'd done. So on New Years, the infamous Dr. Shipman and I returned to see what the last pitch was like. With the 8" new snow, we missed the first three pitches, but found the fourth, and continued up, also having picked up a "stray" by the name of Matt Hall, who just happened to have tools & poons with him. The three of us climbed pitches 4,5,6, then walked over to 7 and found a nice 100' wall with at least a half-dozen lines on it. Mark selected a nice WI4 rib, which he led in fine style while Matt took photos (apparently what he does for a living!)and I dodged dinner plates (successfully). We rapped the last pitch in fading light, then trundled down to the car, arriving just at dark. A SUPERB day.

    As I heard it, the line was first climbed by our own dear RAT, and the first time I climbed it we had Tom HEINZ along, so if Rat hasn't named it, I propose we call it RAT KETCHUP. It must be popular, because Dave and I saw two other parties on Thursday, and Mark and I picked up a third partner today! Anybody have a name for this? Or can we use the one I suggested. If it has a name already, I propose honoring the earliest one.
