Freezerburn - I am definatley looking for an overnight trip, camping up high up on a mountain in the snow somewhere, so I am guessing that dogs would not be the best idea. Plus there is a nother not so good development - I may have to work now which sucks. But I will definately knot by Friday in the afternoon, so my idea for a weekend on a mountian somewhere is still out there.

Due to the high pressure is anyone interested in clibming something i.e class 3 this weekend and camping out in the snow on the approach. I was thinking about a ski approach. Mt David, Mt Mastiff, Colonial Peak anything. Something up be Washington Pass! I have this weekend off and I am willing, or actually would perferr to leave Friday night after work since I live in Bremerton.

Ok did anybody else notice that there were no telemark skiiers in this years Warren Miller film. What is with that! Seeing a few nice free heel turns in the power is all I wanted. I can only guess that there are not enough of us freeheelers out there to make it worth their time to "advertising to".
Anyhow give me the steeps and the deeps, free the heel free the mind free the soul! -
Wow, great job. Nice to see this report because I am planning on hiking the PNT in 2010 starting at the coast, hiking the trail, making a right hand turn on the CDT and hiking 200 miles south to meet the Chinese Wall in the Bob Marshall Wilderness where I finished my 2004 CDT hike from New Mexico. Happy trails!

OlympicMtnBoy - Great pictures you posted on the seperate web page. I would definately be up for an olympic cc.com event in this area next year. Good idea!

Great job guys. I see the register names there from the infamous trip with Williams, Wiggins, Mercer and Kaster when John got a fish-hook stuck through his thumb. Good times.

SO this was the location of the human fishing trip. Nice

Has anyone climbed C141 peak? Can you mark it in one of those pictures?
I was 15 and a budding mountaineer when my Dad perished in a C141 into that peak! Unfortunately, I have yet to climb that peak in his honor or honor the OMR team that risked their lives searching for survivors in the midst of very high avi danger.
I believe C-141 peak is located on the third picture down from the top. It is the prominent peak on the right of the picture. This picture was taken west of C-141. Let us know when you want to climb it, and I am sure some of the Olympic brush monkeys will be glad to join you.

Oh - the summit register is full with names, so anyone who visits the peak might want to bring a new register with them to add to the tube.

(I make no claims of being a talented mountaineer)
Why mountaineer when jumping over mountains is better!
Great trip report!

Trip: Warrior Peak - Route 1 from Olympic Climbers Guide
Date: 10/27/2007
Trip Report:
On October 27 OlympicMtnBoy any myself decided to climb Warrior Peak. We hiked 9 miles into Home lake, starting at the Dungeness TH. The view and sunset from Constance Pass was awesome as you can see below.
View from Constance Pass at Warrior and the west side of Inner Constance. Has anyone skied the couloirs on the west side of Inner Constance?
Sunday we headed back down the trail to climb the peak via route 2, but somehow we could not figure out where the route went. We did not spend a lot of time investigating route 2 because route 1 was calling "do me instead".
Route 2 we think we are on it?
Going to the Route 1 Couloir
Names of people I know from the Kitsap Climbers group in the summit register.
Overall it was an awesome trip! OlympicMtnBoy nice climbing with you, and we both enjoyed the great scenery. I would not call it class 3. There was one basically unprotectable 15 foot rock pitch after reaching the top of the Route 1 couloir, otherwise class 3.
Gear Notes:
Rope, three nuts and ice axes.
Approach Notes:
Great trail up the Dungeness

Great pictures, lookes like a great trip!

Wow, I totally forgot about that post. I want to climb something this weekend any so far I have not drumed up anyone from the hiking / climbing clubs in the local area. I am up for the Cascades or Olympics. I was thinking Mt Maude, but Warrier sounds good too. I am available to leave early Saturday morning! Since the PM's appear to not be working call me at (360) 627-3707 at owrk, or (360) 373-7429 at home.

Two years ago a friend and I got half way up the SE buttress of Cathedral peak. He felt kind of wimpy not completing the route, but I told him we already did the best part, which was the long hike in carrying all the gear.
Great job on the climb! -
Difficult sounds good to me! If anyone is interested PM soon because I will not be able to check this site after Thursady!
-
I am itching to climb Fortress mountain or something in the area such as Mt Maude, Chiwawa Peak etc this weekend. I can't leave until early Saturday morning, and I would like to partially climb on Saturday, spend the night and finish the climb on Sunday. Let me know if interested!
-
Thanks for the link, I will lookinto it because I have some nice pictures that I was unable to upload. I can't believe I can't find software on my MAC computer to save the file as a smaller MB size.

The bushes were not a problem. We were able to find a relatively non bushy route down to Granite Creek. the challenge of the trip were the crevases.

Trip: Wrangell Saint Ellas NP - Tana Glacier
Date: 8/29/2007
Trip Report:
Well this is a little late, bit George and I drove up to Alaska this summer to do some glacier crossing. We chose the Tana Glacier. It took us basically three days to go from Iceberg Lake to Ross Green Lake. Below are a few of the photos that I had that were under 1.2 MB in size. Somehow you can not upload larger pictures, and I am too cheep to purchase software to reduce my file size.
Wrangell Air end up betting us beers
that we would not make it across, the entire time we could swear there were hop fields growing on the opposite side of the glacier, so we knew there were beers in our future. Well we made it, but somehow we ended up supplying out own beer! 
Below we already crossed the first arm of the Tana Glacier, and we are on our way to the more sporting Main ice river of the glacier.
Here is a picture of George ready to have 14 hours of fun, finding the route across the two mile wide glacier.
Here is a great picture of the Glacier we crossed from a spectacular vantage point.
Wow, check out the silty water!
Gear Notes:
4 ice screws
Rope
Crampons
Ice tools
Approach Notes:
Fly
