  1. Wow thanks Dave, I love to hear these old stories! I totally know those wool army pants as well, when I started climbing through Explorer Search and Rescue assisting Olympic Mountain Rescue I was totally equipped by surplus pants with a plastic lined butt and knees and wool button up shirts from the thrift store over REI long underwear! I would love to hear more about the longer traverses you did! Which ridges did you run? What were your favorites?
  2. Great rescue pics as well! Glad everyone was safe and it ended up good practice!
  3. Thanks for the report, fun stuff up there. And terrifying chess as well. Amazing how quickly it changes when you can see where you are going or not!
  4. Sounds like a certain type of fun!
  5. Nice, way to get out and learn, does look a bit icy there, just the way conditions go, sometimes it all warm and sunny!
  6. Somebody wants these! I couldn’t let them sit in the goodwill. Currently mounted on ancient Dynastars, I would put them in some 130 cm kids skis for fun approach tools and corn snow. These should fit most crampon compatible boots. They may or may not release as reliably so I don’t recommend them for resort skiing! Yours if you bring/buy me a good beer! I’m in Lake City Seattle.
  7. Yes please. I volunteer Hellbent again!
  8. A couple views from the other side looking down into Kalalau Valley from the lookout are up on the mountain. It was a fantastic and also mildly exciting hike out the ridge from the lookout on the “closed” trail to look down here. Made more exciting by a toddler in a backpack. Thanksgiving 2023. I certainly thought about doing some more remote/off trail stuff. Too bad those cliffs are so crumbly!
  9. I guess I better head up Mt. Angeles again in 2026, I think that will be 30 yrs for the first time I roped up on a peak. Ironically we used goldline with a bowline around the waist for a 4th class step which was anachronistic even for 1996.
