  1. We tried going in via Illabot Creek in November. Had to turn around about half way due to snow and ice on the road. Might be different now, but I doubt it. Went in via Kindy ridge instead - Nov. 19-20 I posted some pics in the gallery. Have fun!!
  2. I have and use a golite belay jacket. I don't know if it is the same one you are referring to(it's hooded). I find it works great, but only use it in the winter months. I use a moonstone pullover for the summer.
  3. I was up there today - I have a midweek pass, so I don't know what $$ they are asking, but I do know that it snowed all day today, and looks good for the weekend! There were only 2 lifts running that I noticed, but hopefully Alpental will open soon
  4. There is one on the way to Columbia Peak in the Monte Cristo area. It might be more of an arch than a cannonhole though...
  5. Haven't seen that much action on GP this year due to approach issues, but these guys made it http://uw.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2273 Might take more time than you are willing to spend. I'm not that familiar with the standard route as I have only descended it once. I have only tried FB ridge and Kennedy routes.
  6. Hey Marek, I met you at perfect pass in june, BTW I was wondering how you were planning on accessing GP. Isn't the approach still screwed up?
  7. Scott- We used the route listed in the J.Smoot guidebook.
  8. Sorry, it doesn't show up well in that pic. try here http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=14243&size=big&sort=1&cat=last7 http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/droplets/globrock.htm
  9. Climb: Clark Mountain-Southeast Slope Date of Climb: 10/9/2005 Trip Report: Climbed Clark mtn. over the weekend. Camped on a grassy knoll at 6000ft. There were several snow squalls during the night. In the morning, there was a dusting from 6000 to 6500, and about 3 inches at 7k. Whiteout at the summit(8602)and about 8-10 inches of snow. -snow made the descent/ascent of the gully easier, IMO -saw my first brocken spectre Gear Notes: trekking poles and a helmet wish I had brought gaitors for the descent Approach Notes: White river trail to Boulder creek trail. left the main trail at 5k. Left the sheepherder's trail at 5700.

    Weekend Thread

    Tried to do the Ptarmigan Traverse on Tuesday, moated out at cache col. Tried to climb Logan instead, rained out on friday. Tail between legs and feeling sorry for myself today.
  11. I just saw a tr with some pics over here: http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11592
  12. Hey, I was up at YAB and Tomyhoi on Monday too! Were you still a group of six on Monday?
  13. We crossed it in June, and it was well below knee deep.
  14. Getting to Triumph pass sucks.
  15. It's fine.
  16. Nice Thanks for the update for PT conditions.
  17. Very inspirational! Thanks for the report
  18. Climb: West McMillan Spire-West Ridge Date of Climb: 8/6/2005 Trip Report: Scrambled up West McMillan Fri-Sunday. Great weather, few bugs. No water from stream right before trail goes up to second stream crossing on traverse to col. Snow finger to ridge melted out 2/3rds of the way up the gully. The upper section collapsed while we were standing on the rock next to it. Gear Notes: Ice Axe Helmet Crampons (didn't need) Approach Notes: trail is easy to follow
  19. Wasn't it f'ing hot at the pearly gates on sunday???
  20. Thanks for the report! BTW, Dragontail center, Colchuck on right

  22. There was this much snow on aasgard pass 5-22-05. I'm sure it is melting fast now, though.

    So, where was everyone tonight?
  24. Is it reasonably feasible to ford the Suiattle? The NFS web site says they don't advise it, but... I don't know about fording the suiattle, but once you get to downey creek, someone built a ladder up to the destroyed bridge deck - hauling a mountain bike up there would be a pain..
  25. I lost my left big, it grew back wrong, so I had it removed, it grew back wrong again, so I had it surgically removed. It grew back wrong again anyway, so they put napalm (or some chemical) on it, and now it is forever gone. RIP and good riddance!
