Anyone have the day off tomorrow(Wednesday) and want to go climb something? Maybe S Face Prusik, or W Face Silverstar or something? I know someone's got to have the day off....

Climb: Dragontail-Serpentine Arete Date of Climb: 6/19/2006 Trip Report: Went up to Dragontail Peak (again) and climbed Serpentine Arete yesterday. Left Stuart Lake TH a bit after 7am and had a leisurely hike up to Colchuck Lake. It was nice to hike the trail without snow on it this time. Not much snow left around the lake. And the slope up to the moraine is nearly melted out also. Crossed a bit of snow to get onto the route but no problem even in just tennies. Rambled up the route, most of which is merely scrambling. The cracks near the pillar were a lot of fun. Made the summit at 11:30 and lounged around in the sun. Low clouds over on the west side, with Rainier up above was pretty spectacular. No clouds on the east side of the crest. Took a nap and ate potato chips for a while before heading down. Coming down Aasgard was a mix of snow and scrambling over boulders/dirt/wet moss/trees and shrubs. The snow was still just hard enough that in tennies it was kind of interesting but no major mishaps. A good trip, fun route and nobody around...although I did see two people heading up to Colchuck Col.

Just go solo then you don't need a rack.

Scott, I would also recommend calling the rangers at Jenny Lake. They've usually got great up to date route condition beta.

Dirty Sanchez is a fun route, but beware of suspect rock in many places and poor rock in others. Ride the Lightning has better rock overall.

Anyone heading out from near Seattle/Portland have an empty seat in their car?

That approach sounds kinda long and shitty. Just smuggle your partner into Canadia. Or better....I'll go...let's do Diamond Life....YEHAW

Pretty fuckin cool dude

....out on a nice patio somewhere? Ivars on Lake Union...is their patio open yet? + =

nice job guys! SWEET

nice

woa dude...sometimes avie warnings are worth heeding. glad you all made it out ok.

Why choose one or the other, you've just got to swing it with both.

Pirate Gus the Staggering Drunk AYE ME MAYTEES

WTF???

(*)(*)

Yeah I skied out on the trail...It's not as bad as it seems, although I have on many occasion, straddled a tree, caught a ski tip or ski pole on a tree, and once even nearly managed to fall into the creek.... good times

Nice!

Anyone want to get out on some rock Wednesday afternoon? Weather looks great, can leave town @ 1. Can drive, have rack and rope. Ross

I bet there's a lot of snow bring your skis

I could leave town a little earlier if anyone is interested...maybe around 1 or 2ish.

cool,but why the rope, if you botch it you just backflop into the water.

no matter where it comes from is

Bummer.... oh well I guess I'll go tonight then
