Well if it fell, I'll bet it's still going!

I think he left his boots and pack on the approach before the actual climb so his stuff was some ways away from where he was picked up. Also, he was picked up at 10:30 pm in the dark with the rescue crew going black and using night vision goggles.

I think a good place to start would be the Coleman icefall on Baker.

Go Cougs!

Why, thank you sir.

Nice j_b! And all that time I thought you were just here to argue with Mtngoat!

Big Bad Fun Gun

Nah, like Chuck said it wouldn't be a good approach for Lundin, but for Thompson and beyond....

Ok, details, please.... Go to topozone.com and find Kendall Peak Lakes. You take the Hyak exit at Snoq. Pass and go under the fwy and straight to a logging road and follow it up ingnoring two left branches in the road. You'll come to a big clearing and there take a left. Continue to about a couple hundred yards from the road end and find the obscure trail to Kendall Peak Lakes. Hike it to and around the first lake and then on to the second one. Head off trail almost due West to a low spot in the ridge. You'll see it on the map. Drop 50 feet or so to the PCT and you're within a half hour of the Kendall Katwalk.

How do you keep a bunch of morons in suspense?

Just talked to Stefan and he's doing allright.

Any scuba-climbing opportunities down there?

Ok accident fans, I just spoke with Stefan and he asked me to post a quick report. He and his partner had summited Mt Temple (Enchantments area) and rapped a 50 meter rope from the summit to a rap station with a couple of slings around a rock. They looped the rope through the newer of the slings at the station and Stefan's partner used the rope as a handline as he downclimbed the 30 ft to the col. Stefan then rapped and was about 5 ft down from the anchor with a hand on the rope and one in a crack for balance, when the rope went slack and he fell to the boulders below. He landed on his feet breaking both feet and also one ankle. He doesn't know if the sling came off of the rock or if the sling just broke. His partner ran out and summoned help and Stefan was helo'd off around 10:00 pm and taken to the hospital. Stefan is doing very well, considering. If anybody goes up there, there is a rope they left up there at the col.

Three days and two nights. Yeah, this is the trip I did but in two days. It was spurred on by this thread from last year. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000069

Are we talking breakfast?
