    SEWS couloir

    I read a TR somewhere that said a group had used a few pieces of pro to get on the summit. Did you end up bringing anything? If so, what'd you bring?

     

    I'll be on the route this Sunday.

    Mount Ruth beta

    Thanks for sending the info. So, it looks like we are going to try for Ruth either next weekend or the weekend after, depending on the weather. I read the uw repord that Trogdor sent-thanks! Has anyone been up there since then? I was wondering how far you can get up the Nooksack River Road.

    Need studio/houshare in Phinney/Fremont area

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    My lease is up at the end of March, but I'm looking to move sometime before then (probably sometime between March 1-15). Anyway, if you happen to know of any reasonably priced studios or houseshares in the Phinney/Fremont/Ballard/Wford/Greenlake area, please let me know. For a houseshare, I'd prefer to live with employed profressionals, who are responsible, clean, and easy going. No crazy parties or anything...I like to go out and have fun, just don't like to clean up the mess at home. Storage would be nice, too, since I've got my closet of climbing gear.

    Bernadette MacDonald at the Mountaineers 11/10

    Bernadette MacDonald, vice president of Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre and author of I’ll Call you in Kathmandu: The Elizabeth Hawley Story

     

    Thursday, November 10

    7:00 p.m.

    The Mountaineers

    300 3rd Ave. West, Seattle

    For more info: 206-284-6310

     

    In the post World War II era when few women lived life on their own terms, a young Elizabeth Hawley left her job as a researcher for Fortune magazine in

    New York and set out to travel the globe. Nepal—exotic, remote, on the cusp of entry into the modern world—captured her imagination. In 1960 she returned to Kathmandu, single and alone, and over the next four decades built a life that even she could not have imagined.

     

    Hawley found her place: a historian revered as the final word on mountaineering achievements on the roof of the world. Hawley is still in Kathmandu today, carrying on her work well into her 80’s.

     

    Bernadette MacDonald journeyed to Nepal to find out more about this intriguing character. In addition to extensive interviews with Hawley, celebrated mountaineers, and Kathmandu intimates, MacDonald had full access to Hawley’s meticulous records and correspondence.

     

    Presenting selected readings from the book, her own correspondence with Hawley, still and video images, MacDonald reveals the intensely private woman as a complex personality, with a rich personal life.

    North Cascades Climbing Accident

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Every time I hear of a climbing accident, it makes me very sad. It really affects, families, friends, the climbing community, etc. This accident is very hard to deal with since I am in involved with the Club on many levels--volunteering and work. My heart goes out to all of those involved.

    hood via cooper spur

    in Oregon Cascades

    Posted

    Thinking about doing Hood via Cooper Spur this weekend, but the road to Cloud Cap campground is still closed. Anyone know how long it takes to hike the road in and what the conditions are like? Also, any recent beta on the route itself?
