This route is so much fun when the snow is melted out of that gully you start up - the best 3rd class scrambling anywhere. I highly recommend waiting until July-Aug for this one...

I'm not as far along as you. Have had too many turnarounds :-(

Skiing is legit. Snowboarding, OTOH... sickie

How many have you bagged now on the Bulger?

This could be just like livin' in paradise!!!!

You guys aren't doing anything wrong anyways, right? So it's ok!

Yeah, teach him to aid climb... ;-)

James - the folks those ropes belong to were in squamish this weekend. I will forward them your message. One rope was green if I recall.

anyone been up there recently? I'm curious what snow conditions are like there. I've hit a lot of soft snow and postholing hell in the past couple of weeks elsewhere

What a surprise!

Trip: Ingalls, North Peak - East Ridge Date: 6/5/2013 Trip Report: We climbed the East Ridge of Ingalls yesterday... and descended today. We had a late start, hot temps low, cold wind above, managed a summit bivy, and earned few style points. The Some pics below should suffice for beta on the current snow pack. Enjoy: MS hydrates on the warm mid-morning approach. Lots of snow on and around all three peaks: Scrambling up the chock stone gully: MM belays me mid-route: Summit P0rn: Rappelling the South Route in the morning: Gear Notes: C4 #4 for crux Approach Notes: Hot, start early.

Funny, I'd always assumed it was you, but thanks to my special moderator vision I can see you are indeed two separate ip addresses, and I doubt you'd hassle with the spoofing just to try and defeat my awesome powers. Clearly ALLCAPS is "some kind of monster"...

About 1 hour from the base of the E ridge of Eldo (the popular high camp) to the col by Dorado. You could easily combo the two by camping at Eldo, and walking over to the col by Dorado. The N side route is shorter (3 pitches IIRC). My guess is a small rack - lots o places with that info (summitpost.org, Selected Climbs in the N. Cascades)

soft snow with tons of postholing in that area as of yesterday

Snow was pretty cooked this weekend with horrendous postholing. We tried for NW Buttress but got thwarted by whiteout and very cold/windy conditions this morning. Bailed after hemming and hawing from about 7:30 am to 9 at the col at the base of the route. :-(

You just like him 'cos he's an Irishman with a very bad temper.

The reality for some of us is we can't climb anywhere nearly as much as we'd like, and don't have cool TR's to post, beta to share, etc. as often as we think about climbing. So, yeah, we drop into the site, get some fill of good stuff in the other forums, then head straight to spray to spend some junk-filled cycles we'd rather spend climbing, and talking about climbing. :-)

I will....however it is still raining from time to time today....so we have to drive out and see what happens. when you get back, post a trip report with pictures

If only you libturds could use prose like the Onion does, you'd be not only funny but likable. ;-)

She was going to lose reelection. Pretty obvious what is going on.

An improvement over "YOU'RE ON NOTICE", I suppose.

The TRs are the single greatest thing about this site. That DB of wealth grows with each year and I use it a lot. Thanks, guys, for keeping this thing running!

Actually, it has everything to do with you.

amen

I'm sure you're going to help some "sheeple" turn their lives around one day with your online campaign of sarcasm and derision.
