Hey now Sobo, I am counting on this trip getting you back into climbing shape so we can knock out some PNW classic upon your glorious return!

dunno - they got capitals and kings n' organized religions, the common hoof-marks of civilization n' history. and the Ark of the Covenant too!

we have pink slime in our ground meat. does that rate?

cock sauce!

Depends on what kinda "sauce" you are referring to... Scotland: scotch France: cognac, armagnac, calvados Greece: ouzo, metaxa US: bourbon Russia: vodka Mexico: tequila ... :-)

You say that as if the activities are mutually-exclusive...

+1 Great idea, Nelson!

and the US?

except when it doesnt. The deader, the better! you can climb for years with no problem, then blam seems like the same thing, no?

cool, no guns, ammo, beer or driving until age 25. I am good with that.

So you can buy shotguns, ammunition and whiskey before you can buy a Ford? Not currently.

you can drive a tank (or a 97,000 ton aircraft carrier for that matter), but not a toyota? Yeah, being a 16 year old pimping beer and driving Dad's car is exactly like going to the military, being trained, and being "free" to do as you please. LOL

Thanks Jordan. I'm curious how much is pitched out and the difficulty of the route.

I've only been able to find a few (dated) TR's from this route on Maude. It seems most do the N face. I was curious if this is because the Entiat Icefall has melted out so much that it's changed the character of the route for the worse? Has anyone climbed the route or taken a look at it within the last few years? TIA.

that's how they do it in Euroland, and aren't all libtards supposed to love everything about Euroland, Robbie?

thought you resented the state telling you how to live your life? IF such a scheme resutled in fewer deaths, maybe it's worth the loss of freedom - seems just daft if it only defers deaths... Leave it up to a vote then. Those between 18 and 21 decide if they'd prefer to drink or drive. Tyranny of the majority, yeah, but fuck, I'd bet they vote for beer.

bike take a bus walk

learning how to drink before you have access to a car is so important, thankfully I started early, otherwise I might've wrapped my parents car around a tree, or at the very least gotten a DUI. drinking age at 16, driving at 18. needs to happen. beer 16 hard liquor 18 driving 21

you can break even with a moderate price vodka compared to MD20/20 and still do much better quality wise...

Lower the drinking age. Raise the driving age.

Glad someone caught that... ;-) I thought the same thing, but it seemed like that was only happening in the Paradise parking lot. I only saw tourons in the parking lot. :-) Good to see you post again Pandora!!!

I was only pointing out that avy was not "good". It's up to each of us to decide what the risk/reward balance is. I almost went for it myself (C2C, Saturday night with an alpine start). Good luck on future climbs!

Sandy Headwall was my objective as well. We decided a 5 hour drive was not worth it with the forecast making a turnaround possible if not probable (due to snow conditions).

The avalanche forecast was for "considerable" on S aspects above 6000 feet, as I recall. NWAC defines considerable as: "Dangerous avalanche conditions. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding and conservative decision-making essential."
