From a 2009 TR by @Tom_Sjolseth :

I guess I'll start with what I know, which is not necessarily factual as its pieced together from reading things from the Internet and talking to people. I'm hoping people can improve on this or correct me where I'm wrong. Roger Jung is/was an accomplished climber who increasing liked to climb alone and do pretty significant climbs, even in winter. You'll find his name in many summit registers in the North Cascades. From the Charley Project website for missing persons: His Jeep was found at the Phelps Creek trailhead with "freshly caught fish" in it, but no fishing gear. He had signed the trailhead register, and some reported that he had both signed in and out (as in he had returned) but speculation in the NWHikers thread is that possible he just noted his planned return date?

NwHikers thread.

At pubclub last night I was reminded of the missing Roger Jung, a legendary recluse Cascade climber. See this thread. I would love to capture in a single thread the story of his accomplishments and just his general story. If you search this site you will find him mentioned all the time, from "he probably climbed that" to his name in summit registers. Just seem like a legend worth documenting and keeping alive. So share your memories, encounters, or anything to do with Roger here. What can you tell me of him? What summit registers have you seen his name in (date? summit?). It would be good if this could help bring closure or find him, but barring that I would just like to document his story. https://charleyproject.org/case/roger-lenard-jung

How did I forget this TR??? Thank you @Eric Gilbertson for sharing it here....love your TRs! (thanks to @bellows for reminding me of this one!)

miss ya @ivan someone wake him up, I think he's passed out behind the porta-potty.

We were just talking about Roger last night at PubClub, I had forgotten about him going missing and @manninjo and @rat were talking about him...

Thanks @JasonG for hosting last night and for your single handed major funding effort! Thanks to @bellows for piloting the shaggin wagon. Great to meet @cfire and @manninjo + your friend! And always good to see @rat and @OlympicMtnBoy it was great to share the car ride. Nothing but love...whoever the dude flipping people off is, I'm pretty sure he was doing that for @lunger consumption only for not showing up like he has some important professor stuff to do or something! I learned a lot about the Oso slide, and probably over shared on my experience visiting that site.

A good time was had by all, till someone told the story of all that poop.

@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.
