i climbed the W Ridge of Stuart with Franklin. My TR here had a lot of hits. He had so much enthusiasm for getting out and was the ultimate peakbagger, and the only person I know that climbed Hard Mox twice RIP, Franklin

drones are almost as bad as people blasting music out of their backpacks on trails. fucking instagram cretins. I blame Fuckerberg, FAANG, and tech douchery

plus ça change, plus c'est la même...

Get up, come on, get down with the sickness! oh ah ah ah

wow, this thread really went south.

I was wondering myself. This is super sad.

sounds perfect to me

snow has melted fast this year. maybe push it up into July?

depending on day i may be in

i'm due for another run up Little T myself - with my son

I'm interested!

that's right, we have square patties because we like everyone to see our meat

yep, there is a fee. I guess it pays for the fantastic road conditions and TH accommodations

sorry I couldn't make it this time. I was down with something gross (flu? covid?) wed, thurs and fri. Next time!

What kind of exams are these of which you speak?

Much appreciate all volunteers that are willing to help others this way. It's good to know you are there when needed (but promise not rely on that as a given...)

Yum!

or just make tp brown/camoflaged, and quickly biodegradable

I carry out TP in a plastic ziploc. But I must hate the planet. Plastic is evil.

When I first heard about this accident, I only knew it was on Colchuck and not which route. It did strike me as an odd objective choice for this time of year - even if it was just the Colchuck Glacier route. Now, knowing the actual route, I'm still a bit perplexed. Maybe I haven't studied it enough, but I would expect this route more in the spring time. I'm not making a judgment - am just perplexed. In my experience N Buttress Couloir seems more popular (also has serious objective risk, especially in winter), and of course there's TC on D-Tail (great after some thaw and melt to fill in the runnels). Anyways, it's always said to hear about an accident like this. Life is short and fragile.

Is there a way to edit a TR after you post it and add the team members? I did notice this field as I created my most recent TR, but didn't know how it worked until I saw this thread. Now when I click edit, I don't see a way to add the "team"

This was my primary gym for years (up until COVID). Such a bummer that it's closing. I do hope they open at a new locatioin somewhere on the E side.

I guess it's just a matter of pick your poison. I do like the idea of an obvious handline, and option to retreat with minimal risk/effort. It's definitely bold of you to try for the ascent into unchartered territory (solo!). I remember even the trail has a tricky section around a cliffy area a ways up (4000'?)
