I have always done double fisherman's. I think in Twight's book he reccomends some overhand variation if I remember correctly. I guess with 50cm tails I be worried about getting it hung up pulling it down but maybe no more than the double fish.

Thanks guys. Florence is a good one. I have done that 3 times this winter but did not mention it. thanks for the advice. Florence is exactly the kind of suggestion I was looking for . I know that there are those peaks out there are not in the obvious guide books but are allot of fun. I think I have seen the website fenderfour is talking about but I will take a closer look. thank you again

I am just looking for new ideas of hikes/climbs that add some new variety and continued climbing fitness. I was gearing up for doing some actual routes early this season until the weather of the last week has hit us. I am still looking forward to an early season but in the mean time I just want to get out and do something without too much avalanche exposure. I have done Persis 2x this winter on the west ridge and it was a fun hike and safe avalanche speaking. I guess I am looking for things along this line.

Ideas about winter climbs with low avalanche potential would be appreciated. I am looking for conditioners but mountainiering objectives fitting this criteria would be great. I have done mailbox peak 10 times in last year and is getting (or is already) boring. Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks guiran. That is what I thought may be the case.

Does anybody know the condition of the lower aproach? Is it too brushy now with the low snow year. I am looking at it after this new snow consolidates of course. I did the lone tree route last year but is very long.

I would be in heaven if there was a gym close to my house.

I read the post on persis and followed your trail up the next day I think. I found a dog bowl in your foot steps near the top.

call me please if you have found it. It was in May that I lost it. thanks. 253 862 5622

Has anybody been to Mt. PUGH this year? How is the route?

I was thinking about doing glacier peak this year but have heard the aproach trail is wiped out. Does anybody know the alternate routes that are beig taken?

That is going to take the rescue workers some real time just getting to the party at 12,500. God speed!
