Dates the rest of anyone's life could be/actually is some people's idea of hell... quality... not quantity

peace on earth continued health for my friends and family

Let's try and get a thread going similar to the Enchantment Area/Stuart Range Conditions thread for the Snoqualmie Pass area (tooth, chair, guye, etc etc). Post any approach, route, snow pack, etc etc beta here and let's try to keep it updated through the winter.

That's the one by my house! If it is the SW one than it is in Multnomah Village... if it is the SE one then never mind. See you all there!

Which Lucky Lab? Hey Marcus! This is your chance to get your poster signed!

If it helps Ivan is looking for the Black Diamond ski mountaineering shovel. I think the last year they made it was 99 or something. Black shovel head teal shaft.

Falling objects don't achieve velocity Ice tools do plenty of damage to my face at speeds well below velocity

Every other sport gets it... mtn bikes, kayakers, sky divers, skateboarders, bikers, etc etc Helmets might make the difference. Let me guess Rudy... you don't wear your seat belt either.

Helmet is cheap insurance. I don't know about you but I don't know anyone willing to feed me applesauce through a straw the rest of my life. In the end it's your call but I highly doubt wearing a helmet hinders your climbing ability that greatly.

Marcus can wear what ever color helmet he wants as long as he rope guns the hard pitches for me (though you can't draft in his pick placements as he is so damn tall)

That's Marcus (orange helmet). You can tell by the height factor alone

I was born the... Paging Michael Layton. Michael Layton will you please post.

Silvers and Kings in my freezer d00d Keep trying!

So then I guess you wouldn’t mind if I came over to your place and drank your beer and had a turn on your girlfriend? After all, you won’t be using her, you’ll be too busy out drytooling with the bro’s. That's a new approach Harold... nice angle! At least someone has some creativity on this page. A for effort! Unfortunately my girl drytools/climbs so she will be there with me... sorry! I don't keep much beer in the fridge but I have a lot of salmon leftover from the AK trip... you could grill some of that up.

I'd just like to say FUCK YES to people sharing info on conditions! Constant conditions updates in combination with good trip reports make this website the dank shit. Thanks to everyone!

Already sent the check for both helmets kids

Correct on all 4 points dude! PT is a great trip if you go light.

FYI when all the snow melts off a glacier all that is left is the dry glacier... a great big piece of glacial ice. They are easy to avoid falling in a hole as all the crevasses are in the open (not hiding under snow) but can be difficult in crossing as having to climb in/out/around all these take longer. Make sense? I did the traverse in 2004 and 2005. How hard is it to safely navigate the terrain? Depends on your experience but if you take the time to learn how to do crevasse rescue you should be fine. The time of year you go will effect how difficult the glaciers are. I think most people who have done it would agree it is relatively tame assuming you have some concept of glacier travel. And as you have time before you go if you don't you have time to learn. I am willing to bet a 6 pack of might get you some instruction from some users on this site. If you want a pics or beta let me know.

Mmmm... salad. Mmmm... windshirts. Mmmm... neutrinos. Who is this NOLSe guy anyways

Check your pms

Hey Forrest Are you looking for a solid partner the whole time or would ~ a week be okay?

But Jay... unlike a lot of 30 year olds females on this page... you're married. Apples and oranges. I'm with you though

Because there are plenty of threads about Mr E already?

God I wish your students knew and read what you posted here.
