What's the legal status of climbing at Peshastin in the "off months" when the park is closed? Can one park on the road and walk in?

all sold, pending $. Thanks.

sold

Julbo Nomads I love them. cragging, work, Alaska, whatever. side shields are eaily removable too.

check your e-mail.

nice "speed rope"

I flew from SeaTac to Anchorage this spring with a 50m rope and a harness compete with glacier gear (no screws though)in my carry-on. no problems. we checked all the spikey things.

might see you there if it's poor weather (meaning we can't go to Darrington). there will be 2 of us, red & green jackets...

I've had really good luck here, but it's sporadic.

sweet.

thanks. What trailhead do I need to get to (no map in front of me)? I've got to go to a wedding in the area on Saturday and think this could be good on Sunday.

What is the beta on Baker? approach time, distance, etc? feasible for a day trip?

yea, I saw ice up at Colchuck last weekend. at least 3" thick, would have been climbable too if it wasn't in the boulderfield.

From Gravsports.com ----- September 30th, General, Will Gadd I drove up to Jasper a few days ago, there is a LOT of ice forming already. Somebody has probably already been out and climbed something up high. Anyhow, Riptide is forming nicely for a change, Slipstream is very nearly totally formed (just missing the bottom bit), there's ice allover the Trophy Wall. It's been a wet (OK, miserable in general) fall for rock climbing, there is more ground water around than I've ever seen. It's never totally sure, but I think this is going to be an epic fall season! My bet is that we'll be climbing on the Trophy Wall by the end of October... Get yer binoculars out, dust off the tools, game on! http://gravsports.com/Ice%20Pages%20Folder/05_06_Ice/05_06_Ice.htm

Nope, that's not the face. It is a secretive area, that's for sure. very adventurous.

It's like 1-2 moves of 5.7 IIRC. you can bail off it and head up the gulley whenever you want basically.

what do you know about this one? Steve didn't think it'd been done.

Saturday was almost entirely snow free on DT except for some in shaded patches on the NF. Getting cold though, the creek coming from the Colchuck glacier moraine was frozen with 3" of WI in spots. check my tr in alpine lakes for pics. edit: colchuck from the base of the fin on Saturday gallery photo

yep. Link cams are fun. I placed them both (1 & 2) on every pitch of Backbone last weekend. sweet gear. gotta get some of my own...

but the other thread doesn't mention the petition. to sign the petition, click on the grey box that says "sign this petition" just above the list of names.

your smiley face reminds me of this... edit: as for avoiding the loose rock up high-- just don't go down into the Third Couloir, stay high on the right side on obvious ledges until you hit the notch that has sand/dirt leading up to it.

you mean rock like this? somewhere in the Wallowas... and unclimbed AFAIK PM Terminal Gravity, he's the one to ask. Hit up his brewery in Enterprise while you're there.

Thanks Alasdair. I also removed a bunch of crap from up there on July 4 this summer, including cleaning off the Metolius station.
