Whatever. Yank that shit.

I have something else of yours.

I've got Monday and Tuesday off and would love to cruise some easy/moderate alpine rock, but you could talk me into something else...I'll be back at a computer tomorrow afternoon and will be able to respond then.

Crampon=Divot=Icefall? That's what I was thinking...

Awesome trip, writeup, and photos - reminds me of a song lyric: "Damn, it feels good to be an Old Guy." Extra cred for not taking rock shoes!

Rye Crisp? Looks like Poison Balance in L-worth to me...

The approach through the Fan is still doable, but the Nisqually is covered in piles of dirty, icy rubble. Coming up through Van Trump Park, though longer, is much prettier and nicer going in general. The upper part of the route is not badly crevassed, but the cracks that are open are big and have sketchy snowbridges. Angle toward the saddle between Point Success and Columbia Crest and you'll cruise it.

Those photos are fucking awesome! Sounds like a super cool trip

I'd do it car to car with ya

Nice! Thanks for the update, Foxy!

I helped an injured party down the Muir Snowfield on 6/26, and in the dark somehow left my gloves behind in the rocks above Pebble Creek. They are all black, insulated, Marmot ski/mountaineering gloves with red logo and cords. Please PM if found!

Yesterday morning RMI was putting in the DC when we came down, and there was talk of them pulling the ladders from the ID in the next couple of days.

I have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off from work every week. It's fun having three day weekends but hard to find people with the same schedule. If you have those days off and want to climb, send me a PM.

Six inches of freshiez at Camp Muir this morning, too .

Nice job breaking trail. Sure sounds like you guys timed it well and had a lot of fun!

Wow. I am soooo jealous. The mountain and route look incredible. Way to get it, dudes!

It was windier than shit this morning, but the worst of it was at Pebble Creek. The NPS had helicopter operations going most of the day, and it was really fun to see them flying in and out of Camp Muir. It truly was a fabulous day to be up there.

Bug - no, I didn't go up there. I was asking for my dad, and he ended up driving to Hood. I'm sorry I don't have any info for ya!

Snice = snow/ice

Great show, indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw a few familiar faces, and I just knew there were many more cc.commies I'd never met hiding in plain sight. And I was right about the alcohol I mentioned in my previous post! Not that I drank any....

What a great idea!

Wow, I'm jealous; that looks so sweet. It's good to see you back on the splitboard instead of the bike, kiddo!

By the looks of this photo, you've already scored a gold medal, though one can only imagine how Happy Birthday!!!!

Thanks, guys

Any updates?
