Pandora

Will there actually be attractive females with whom to make out at this event? If so, I will definitely attend.

Despite the photo onslaught of NOLSe ( he leads granite cracks, yo! ), I must say my favorite photo of the TR is this one: Simply beautiful.

Oh, you whispered some pretty sweet things last night....

I'm sure the number for the climbing rangers (Paradise side) is posted, but here it is again: 360-569-2211 x 6009. Call it right now and I'll answer.

Hurray for the new parents! Luke, I'm so happy for you and your family. Best, H

Happy 22nd Luke! I'll spark some major fireworks tonight in your honor.

The Kautz Cleaver is a fun route that should still be in shape for the rest of the month. And you're right about it being uncrowded! The time I climbed it (July '03), our team saw only a single footprint (not sure how that works out). As for the approach, my personal preference is leaving from Van Trump - you start lower, but it's nice to hike through the trees and watch the views begin to open up. Plus it's more straightforward, none of that traversing and losing elevation as with the Paradise approach.

Picked these up partway between the Fan and the Turtle on 6/5. PM to identify.

There was a female , Lisa, her friend Kim, and snogurl. Not sure where Pandora was at though... I'll give you three guesses...and the answer starts with an "R"

Since you asked, Kit, I uploaded a few snapshots especially for you. Entering Nisqually Basin: Looking down the steepest section, where I was glad to have two tools: And the lonely crater rim:

Did ya see the new potholes on the Tahoma Creek trail? Yeah, that thing is a mess. There were numerous washouts, amounting to probably 25% of the trail being completely gone.

Yes, I drove it last night; it's perfectly clear and in good condition (few potholes).

Obsession is a beautiful thing!

What a classically beautiful route! Great timing.

jesus christ, that video sucked. i've seen more stable video shots by poor shits caught in a avalanche while filming. I loved it! There were tons of great quotes (some of which swaterfall posted) and I thought the video was hilarious. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. IceAxe18, thank you for posting!

That pic doesn't need any photoshopping!

NO! We do not want to see video of this.

It's high time someone founded the TeleRoss and skykilo fan club. I want buttons that say "Sky skied your favorite ice climb!" and full-sized posters of this:

Why do you think they call me the posthole machine? Starting in May......

Whaddya mean there were no tracks going up?? I was busting my ass breaking trail above 8500 feet in zero visibility . I was happy to be skiing down, but the vertigo was intense. Yesterday was a lot nicer; I got sunburned.

I'm thinking of making a shirt that says "CC.com Changed My Life" with this photo below: I don't think it's possible for a drawing to convey the truly disturbing nature of the image.

I've done this route only once, in early July of 2003. As you can see from the photos (larger versions available in the gallery), there was quite a bit of rock exposed then. I thought it was a fun objective anyway, and it should have more snow in June. We went in from the West Side Road and took three days. It really is a long route, with super cool views and few people. Worthwhile for sure! Looking up the Cleaver from the top of Pyramid Peak Ridgecrest on left, Success Couloirs ahead and right My dad carrying too much gear and pausing for a look down

omg, so hot. Annabelle must go wild for you.

I LOVE THAT GIANT PHOTO. LOOKING AT IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I AM THERE FREEZING MY ASS OFF AGAIN.
