sucky......that nest is so dormant, I loveit when they close climbing areas for imaginary birds. I remember asking Jeff about the nest and he telling me he has never seen an eagle there. I haven't, has the BLM folks? What basis do they have that proves it is an active nest?

wanna post some photos of pan dome and death picnic? Cmon give me something to ogle from my cube tomorrow:)

Went to Strobach: Good News: hardy any snow on the ground and the roads are stil open. Makes for a super quick approach. Bad News: I waked from Primus Suckus to Watchtower and didn't see a singe line that looked to be fully climbable.

Looking for a partner specifically this Sunday 12/11

Looking for a partner to go for a walk with the tools and rock gear. I am in PDX and would be stoked to carpool, but could meet any of you WA types at the trail head. Thanks, Bryan

I love my Mammut 8.9, my second one and the sheathes seem to hold up very well for ice and alpine.

thanks any more photos of strobach?

Remember what? who died and made you the cascadeclimbers god? Stop being so jealous that other people are getting on ice and you are stuck in the NW. Be grateful for the photo stoke. Please keep them coming.

take a picture of the pencil if you actually go up there please:)

Ron Paul will win the 2012 election....I feel it As the police continue to brutalize the occupiers more will join As long as the demo's and repulo's continue to do nothing and worry about the perception of themselves nothing will happen We need a person who doesn't give a fuck and can KEEP THE STOKE of AMERICA ALIVE we know how to work and how to change and how to live in the moment but we need to work in the moment.

I am currently in spain, but the forecast suggest that Strobach may possibly be coming into condition soon. Here is to another great season let the slow shoeing begin

If these are supposed to be the brightest and most powerful minds in politics we are in trouble...

needs to be climbed....at least attempted, looks like an amazing feature.

Rocking TR!!!! Great times. That hand crack is one of the best in Oregon. Right up there with Solid gold imo. Thanks to Eric for rocking the aid pitches. And to all the sport climbers below us that put their helmets on when we told them too.

haha, that is the Mt. Baker in WA.

Check out the latest edition of Big Sky Ice by Ron Brunkhorst. Bunch of stuff about the ice climbing in GNP.

your in my thoughts friend, you will battle through

Dan and I made plans for a night ascent of the NF gullies. We made it all the way tot he snow/perfect neve and turned around due to rocks whizzing past us and the sand blast effect. The wind was pretty strong with gust greater than 30mph. Looked perfect up there though, so maybe next week we will get some more high pressure after the snow this weekend. Wasn't very cold, we talked to a couple guys who did the timberline trail yesterday and it didn't get above freezing for them.

Sick!

Pretty sick issue, very stoked about the crag profile, but I am biased cause I am in it

So whats the word? I have never heard of it before recently. has it been climbed? Any beta? Looking like it could be in'ish maybe.

I have like 15? Some are good for mixed some are good for ice so good for beating your kids with.....i would rather just ship you the lot since i don't have quarks anymore

head out towards opal creek if you do enough digging i bet you find something. But as far as "in salem" the famous and elusive "salem boudlers" are quite hard to find.

So did you climb the n side then?
