  1. If you could ever measure the amount of fun-filled stoke one person gave in a life time, Warren Miller has to be at the top of the list. Even is you weren't a skier, you couldn't help but catch some enthusiasm for life and the outdoors after watching one of Warren's films and listening to him narrate in that legendary voice. The positive and fun vibe you left with after taking in one of his yearly stoke experiences will be missed, but he really just started the fire...now its up to the kids to keep it going! RIP Warren and thank you!
  2. Hilarious... @JasonG beat me to it here in his own post, which is actually mentioned in the article!

  4. Many of the cascadeclimbers.com family/community know Russ and Leah, they are one of us. If you have the means, please consider contributing something to the Ricketts as they bravely battle through this adversity. The GoFundMe was created by yet another cc.com user. https://www.gofundme.com/the-ricketts-family-needs-our-help

    Google Maps

    Just a minor integration, but kind of cool...you can now embed a Google map in a post or TR. It doesn't seem to work in satellite view, so I'm looking into that, but its easy just to switch to that mode...

  13. LIBERTY BELL NEEDS CLIMBERS' SUPPORT The Liberty Bell Group, a cluster of five granite spires at Washington Pass outside Mazama, is home to some of the most popular and iconic alpine climbing in Washington State, including classic Fred Beckey first ascents like the Beckey Route on Liberty Bell and the West Face of North Early Winter Spire. Over the last decade, the area has become increasingly popular among alpine climbers. This rapidly expanding use has led to deteriorating trail conditions, severe erosion, and unsafe approaches. The Liberty Bell Conservation Initiative will address these critical issues, and we are shovel-ready. But the project needs $100,000 to cover two seasons of professional trail crews and supplies to address critical stewardship and conservation needs. To kickstart the project, The Mountaineers have donated $10,000, the Washington Climbers Coalition shared $4,000 (awarded from the AAC Cornerstone Grant Program), and the Petzl Foundation has kicked in $6,000 to bring us closer to our goal.
