@bellows told me anytime after 5 so lets go as early as we can so right around then we will leave west seattle and head your way. lets fill up the van!

The swaggin wagon! @Alisse @Rad who is in? Who has the aux?

I think we can make this work! Full crew!

Who is up there we can goat rope into this? @lunger @danhelmstadter someone tap those guys on the shoulder and see if they'll show up.

I'm not on Facebook, but you guys up north should share it how ever you connect. Lets make this a good one!

This week! Don't miss it! @bellows are we still on for a car pool?

must have been this one: https://www.upi.com/amp/Archives/1989/03/19/Plane-slams-into-side-of-Mount-Rainier/2670606286800/

seems like a reason stop gap till we get the TR Search tool back. thank you.

They aren’t filming one. Cancelled by Outside. I guess since he died in 2018 it’s time for the torch to be passed to a different name? https://mountaingazette.com/blogs/mountain-notes/losing-warren-miller

I added photo credit for the first photo, it was taken by John Scurlock. It is important that we do this for John's photos (as well anyone else's). He works really hard and and spent a lot of time, energy, and money on his photos. If you don't have a copy of his book you should get one to support his work! https://www.jaggedridgeimaging.com/snow-spire-the-book

Mike! I can help you reset your layton account if you want. it uses hotmail.

Yep, I visited that one when in the scouts when it still existed.

Well Kiba is down with it.

Made the news, not in a good way: https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/us/washington-hinman-glacier-disappear-climate/index.html

Welp, bummer, the resource I was going to have redo the TR Search function back out. He is an old friend, and is newly retired, and honestly I don't blame him at all. He'd rather be out cutting firewood, which is one of the more noble pursuits in life, and I totally support him in that. So I'm going to ask around and see if anyone can do what I have in mind over on the forum support site. Our current dev may be able to do it too. But its going to cost more than having my friend do it probably. We'll see. This is a super important function, so it will happen.

Thank you for your perseverance in getting this posted!

User @Tucker_Merrill discovered a bug (not sure how I missed it, but been really busy) with the TR tool. I had a "Members" section added that was supposed to be optional, but it is not...and throws a weird error. So if you leave that section blank your TR won't submit. So use the "@" symbol and then your cc.com user name (no space between the @ and your name) and hit enter and it will populate that...just add yourself (and add other cc.com users if they came along on that trip!). They can be added the same way. The dev is fixing it so it will be truly optional in the next release, due any day.... And thank you @Tucker_Merrill !

Thats a good idea, but I'm also trying to get ideas to engage more people with this site and get the message out about it to the next gen of climbers. So bumper sticker or something like that to make people aware that we are still going would be sweet and would want that on as many cars or whatever as possible.

I mean I just represent one small opinion, and that is all it is, and I don't belong to a mysterious public sector cabal of elites, but I don't mind having one place in this country where there are no roads and the trails are faint or even in disrepair....like untouched wilderness as much as that is possible these days. I'm not saying that is the mission of the US Park service, but just my personal opinion it isn't a bad thing. It isn't a religion for me, but there are lots of trails and roads that are maintained elsewhere. I don't mind one park where it is just a wild vast. But I understand that isn't for everyone...thats why its just my opinion.....man. I'm not speaking, of course, to any actual disfunction or failure of the Park Service to do its mission, whatever that may be in this particular case. In a personal sense, I think that would me I could bring my dog into the area, which he would like. Would be interested in specific examples and implications of what the USFS or State of WA do better, and how that would benefit the NCNP land beyond maintaining trails and roads.

Is that who has been posting TRs in the North Cascades forum? All those people work in the public-sector?

Love it, thanks for sharing. These are the kind of resources I'd like to see this site align with. Local. Non-corporate.

OK I'm going do some nepotism and have my son design them, but won't get to that till mid-Feb.

I carried Ulee on my back up the old mailbox peak trail, but I remember that was bested in my mind by a young woman I met up by Prussik who had just carried her child up and gear Asguard pass. I’d keep trying to link up with others but main thing is just keep just going and raising your boy in the wild as you are. Truth is this time will go faster than you want it to and next thing he will be in college. I’d say slow down and enjoy it but find time here and there to sneak off for a little adventure for yourself. I wish I could go back and just camp with little Ulee, but I now that he is big and busy with his own life I’m glad just to get any time with him.
