Ok, I just did not want to create another thread because of a single picture and I guessed that the model might checkout this thread anyways and would find the photo

Some girl climbing Midway on CR

I got good feeling no money can buy I think it's nice seeing some local names in NYT

NY times article http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/20/sports/othersports/20outdoors.html?_r=1&re

I would not worry about friend being bored I suspect it's him (see this TR): He came back to the car 3 hours before us to have beer. Not sure who had more challenging day

about 10k

what are the rules of using the lookouts? I assume no permits of any kind are required?

Thanks Oleg, that is basically a TR Next time if we go this route again, I would bring the rope but wait with roping up till the real need. I expected more amounts of less stable snow and shittier ice but it was quite the opposite. I regret we did not make more shots of the action, but we were sort of in a hurry for two reasons: Pete was waiting in the car and I had to be in Seattle before midnight (which I barely managed to do).

Trip: Mt Hood - Reid HW Date: 12/31/2006 Trip Report: Words to come, pics first

from the article: "The phone continues to register a signal with the carrier, T-Mobile, though no one has tried to use it, Wampler said." This is a good sign. Phone would turn off within few minutes if the battery gets cold. It's amazing though that the bettery still runs - my cell phone works at max 6-7 days if always on and I do not talk on it.

According to the news video ( http://www.katu.com/news/4905801.html?video=YHI&t=a ) the last phone call was from the north side: The diameter of the circle is 500m

I was thinking about ice, actually. May be Kautz or Edmunds. Trying to scramble some time for WR Stuart, all these dreams )

Goatboys and us were the only ones on the route. Can't extrapolate on other Saturdays.

Climb: Improbable Traverse Date of Climb: 8/12/2006 Trip Report: Oleg and I climbed impro.. eeh.. Brownish Traverse last Sat. Pins are still there, route has lots of loose rock everywhere except the travserse pitch. Met goatboy and co on the lunch ledge. Nice meeting you guys, still owe you pics from my camera Oleg sees the traverse Oleg approaches the crux traverse At the second crux, finding the "two easy miles down to the car"...

Hey Barry! you are a machine

this is from last October on Coleman

We met a group of ppl on descend who were unhapppily mumbling something about the cache col moats. The other side looked good from top, not sure how good it will be from bottom where you will likely have to drop after the cache col. On the way to the gunsight col, actually few hundred yards before it, Tom and I saw few interesting variations on the lower headwall far to the right. If moats become showstoppers, I would go check these variations. They looked like 4, 5.easy. Might be loose, but definitely worth checking out.

Hey, we saw "Beckey" in the summit book but did not realize it was the Beckey cool

nice TR, thanks Tom! mmm, pics?

View from the lower wall Tom is climbing the lower face towards the bench somewhere on the low-angle slab somewhere on the low-angle slab upper part, aka the "fun climbing"

Nice start of the season good job

thanks guys

Appealing to common wisdom Will this route still be in reasonable shape in three weeks? I plan to take a newbe thru some uncrowded line, KC seems a good choice. Am I wrong? any opinions would help Thanks!
