Skatan

Boulders, Lamb of God & Red Bull get along nicely.

Anyone have been in to DT TC route and know the conditions?

Has anyone purchased from basegear.com out of Portland? Wondering how they are to order from.

Any one been out the last couple of days? Any conditions info would be great.

Glad to see most kids today are coming to the dark side.

Nice When were you in there the pic of Blodget Falls looks good. I need to get over there sometime.

I have built 2 home walls, the first one was an adjustable angle wall and worked out really good. That way I could adjust for crimp and sloper problems. That wall was a single in a garage, I moved so now I have a cave set up in a barn type shed, with a mix of vert, 60 deg, overhanging and vert with 70 deg at top all stationary. I like the adjustable the best, I couldn't do an adjustable with the ceiling height in the shed. Either way it is like having your own private boulder. Have fun. Plastic to the people!

Thanks for the info.

Checking on ice and road conditions.

Thanks I'll try both.

Checking for ice and road conditions.

Nice, no dieting for that ice this year. Pic 12-16-07

Made the run Sunday.

Just checking to see if there is any word on Copper, Troy/Libby, Idaho/Montana border climbs or Stone Hill? I have not made a recon run yet this season.

Second the good beta, as for the fu symbol just old crass skater stuff besides goes good with skatan handle.

I should have known better, last time I checked for conditions I got the old ooh ahh to scary to cold Goldy Locks BS. We went anyway and the climb was great.(Canadian Rockies Climb) Sometimes you just get to hike and look and other times it all comes together. You can't blame a guy for trying. Straight answers and good info is all I was looking for from someone who had done or been on the mowich side before. We will give it a shot why not. I'm not going to climb if its a bowling alley, and we have climb in remote areas with out rescue teams available on other mountains. I wasn't planning on being stupid but thanks for the judgement.

Wow I feel like one of the three billy goats gruff, trying to cross a bridge. Beware of trolls! I have been know to carry a gun and a body bag if needed for trolls or yard gnomes (wannabe trolls) skull just trying to get beta from fellow climbers thats all. I have been told that Oct can be a good time to give it a go. After taliking with a climbing ranger today I was told it is definately worth a shot. As for the road closures planning on going in and coming out before the closure dates, in the end its all up to Mother Nature. Even if I only get to hike in to look at the route, it beats sitting around masturbating ones ego. As climbers I feel like we need to try to help each other and share information, thats what this site is for I thought. Thanks for the info Duchess. You never know unless you go!

Checking to see if anyone has been on that side lately? Or has climb any of the routes in Oct, wondering about approach and descent for the fall. Probably the standard just longer with potential road closures later in season.

Just wondering if anyone has been up there lately? It must be getting colder. Planning on going up in one week if the conditions sound favorable.

Thanks for the info and great pics! Looks like what I had suspected I think waiting till Sept will be best hoping to do the hour glass. Your spot on about how much the conditions can change by Sept. Last year I got up there and climbed the north face the last week of sept and it was in great shape then. The Skyladder pic looks the most melted out that Ive seen.

Looking for conditions for N Face, Hour Glass and Skyladder, probably not promising with the temps. I was hoping to get up that way the second week of Sept. may be cooler then. One can always hope.

Thanks for the info, that's the time I was hoping to get up there. I did the NF of Athabasca the first week of Oct last year and conditions were great. Have you climb Humble Horse, it sounds like a great route?

Does anyone know the conditions, and typically when is the best time of year for this route?

Did LR last May with 1-venom and 1-cobra, 2 venoms would be lighter and would work out great for LR. We climbed from thumb unroped until the shrund then simul to top. It's a great route!

Thanks for the reply, when were you up there last? Could a Subaru do the road or is it rutted out? It was in awesome shape when I was up there in the 2-15,(Climbed LW then also 2-19 already quite rotten then) what about the awesome dagger right before Gib that finally touched down this year looks awesome.I read another post about it wonder if anyone climbed it.
