Samuel Johnson's Blog Alpine Essence is pretty dang awesome and he has an incredible blogroll on the sidebar.

More sustained and scrappier. A bit wilder and more exposed. Same grade.

Glad I steered you guys to the Valkyrie, much more varied and memorable then Acid Baby

Nice work John!!!
To quote well-rounded Scottish crusher Dave McLeod, "Tactics triumph training."

Sounds like you guys tried my approach beta on the descent? Howd it go?

Code Brown! WTF!!

NF Shuksan Approach BETA: from base of chair 8 where most folks descend down old clear cut to lame valley schwack go uphill about 200 ft to rounded cattrack turn on climbers left side of cattrack/chair 8 run. From there, take sharp left, leaving ski area boundary, traversing perpendicular across slope for a few hundred feet. You will do a bit of schwacking and cross an unpleasant gully or two before the forest will open up to what we dubbed the, "magic carpet ride." An open snow slope/gully which heads quickly and easily down and left to the bottom of the white salmon glacier basin.
At least that's how it worked about 8 years ago. Super cruiser overall. The terrain may have changed, but it's definetly worth a look.

That is one well-stocked bivy for being so high above the icicle!
-
You and Kyle should give The Nose on Bridge Creek Wall a shot. Bring a hammer and a couple of knifeblades, slam them in above the 11b roof to get rid of the R rating, rave on the internet about it, and maybe people will actually climb it.
