Couloir

Shit, I'm going to have to check these cams during daylight hours!

Yeah, I remember Iain mentioning that the day they were looking for her the flow was insane. When they found her, she was completely out of the flow path from a couple days prior. Crazy stuff.

I'm stepping out on a limb, I predict this season will be better than last!

Thanks Farrgo. I was looking for one last good run for the year. When I did it last year, Sandy was a little sketchy in the pitch black and a narrow log. Whiteriver, going CCW has a clear entrance, but always seems difficult to crawl out of once to cross the main river. Newton is similar except finding the opening to the trail on the otherside also is a little challenge. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Nice work Andrew. Any problems crossing any of the rivers? Or finding the trail on the other side (ie Whiteriver, Newton)?

If that's true, that IS lame.

Wow...what precipitated this? I thought the location next to Mountain Shop seemed like a smart idea. Plus lots of traffic along Broadway, and parking has never been an issue. Is this considered a good move?

100%

More and more, I think it's starting to make sense to ship all your gear ahead of time.

Try them here. They aren't offering them as short as you like, but between 174cm and your target of 168cm from the 176cm you're used to, you're still likely to shave off a few pounds.

I have an old set of Gibbs Acsenders you can have. PM me.

Did you pack it out?

Hmmm...that's the only one I could find too. Perhaps posting here and ask them the same question. Good luck.

I like Toyota. But I don't like having to watch their FUCKING commercial every time I want to see this thing. FUCK!

Post the link. I haven't heard anything about this. Barker??

------> bird flu.

If you don't find these cats, the gallery should be able to help with some stock footage from the other hundred or so people that were up there that weekend.

I think we know the answer to THAT question.

I just fucking hurled all over my screen. Thank you. But that being said, when faced with the dilemma of having to simultaneously shit and puke with only one receptacle, what do you choose?

That's crazy. Good job on the climb.

Wow, that's a bitch. It was pretty crowded huh?

Thanks Norman. We knocked it out yesterday. Though not nearly as fast (sans summit too). We left June Lk. TH at 3:45a, went CCW making really good time, jogging most of the flats and enjoying seeing two large (30+) herds of Elk. Then we slowed waaaay down at the S. Fork Toutle. We too missed the otherside of the Toutle and had to climb the crazy eroded slope. The climb up the forested section above that was challenging, but what really seemed endless were those boulder fields. From everythng I had read, I thought there would just be two. But from the beginning of the series to June Lk. TH, I counted 4. We also noticed several fresh piles of half-digested huckleberries, evidence the bears, do in fact, shit in the woods. Back to the car at 4:45 (~13 hrs. RT). Definitely a good one-day trip.

Ne meither.

I can stop laughing!! That was BRILLIANT!
