I never said there wasn't

Melted out of some avi debris below Headlee Pass. PM me with description if it's yours.

As of last sunday (4-10), couldn't even get as far as the Iron Peak trailhead with a 4runner. Could be better now, but probably not.

practiced face planting down the muir snowfield in a whiteout on sat and got my fill of yummy corn at alpental on sunday.

I agree. Kautz is a good alternative. It was not icy mid-July last year, but this year may be a whole new ballgame. Using the search engine on this board will also provide you with lots of info. on any route you are considering. Good luck!

Bath Lakes Traverse has some nice views

Kamikaze saucer races near Ingalls Creek

[it would be good to hear opinion of real female alpinist.] I'm pretty sure they will all be drawn to post here by the title and content of this thread.

shoot, I thought this was going to be about a ski line.........!!!

Wow, those are some really nice photos, distel!!

Great story, dkemp. I also agree that the Tieton is awesome. Best route IMHO is Inca Roads I haven't led it.....yet.

the chute you are referring to was not melted out as of 7-11-04, but the lower section was going fast. we used 2 ice screws in the main route chute for running belays. This may or may not seem necessary based on your comfort level as there are some smallish crevasses on the lower pitch.
