Not sure what the conditions are gonna be this weekend, but last weekend the knife edge still had snice on it (as reported by a friend who flew over it). Not sure what the glacier looks like.

Yep, I've done it a bunch with a mini-traxion, I think it works out great. Usually the cliff I do it on is short enough to throw both ends of the rope down, so I run the traxion up one side, and tie in short with the other line as a backup at good rests. I don't know who in their right mind would clip into a traxion with a long sling instead of right into their harness, but I guess people do lot's of strange things. In general, I find that when I fall, it's really pretty gentle on the rope... I'm not throwing dynos while solo TRing. I've been doing it for a couple of years now, and I don't think the teeth have caused any sheath damage whatsoever. If you search, I think there are other topics discussing this (check newbie forum maybe?).

Anyone know if or when cloudcap road opens up, or how I can get that info? These ski pictures are getting my stoke on... Thanks!

Or 2 door bibler eldo... I second clints suggestion as well...

You guys rule! Can't wait to get up there this summer and check it out!

Great! You guys the first names in the summit register this year? Good photos, thanks for sharing!

3% triclopyr (garlon) + 97% oil carrier (diesel or crop oil) + little spray bottle. Need to have a public applicator licence to be spraying that stuff in the park though.

Great write up, and congrats on the success!

Yup... You've discovered my alter ego...

Yeah, I was down there this weekend and it looks freaking awesome. Hopefully the non-climbing folks reconize theefforts that's been done and refrain from smashing any more bottles! Good to see you down there 111.

Good to see that you are bringing some stoke with you from FL! Welcome to CC.com! Sounds like you have thought through your trip pretty well... Adams south side probably requires a lot more stamina than equipment. Get an ice axe and some strap on Al crampons, toss your skis on the pack and tear it up! You don't need to break the bank on boots or anything, at least not for that trip. For a mountain ice axe, I suggest getting something that is cheapish (less than 100 bucks), light as hell, and about 65cm (i'm your height and I find that's pretty good). Grivel and black diamond make great options. Good luck man, welcome to the NW (at least soon)!

Excellent work to you and other SAR teams for unifying against this bill Rocky!

I'll give anyone a pile of these things if they want to pick them up in corvallis. Probably got 6-10 laying around here somewhere.

Redpoint in Terreborne, much, much better. It's right off the highway as you make the turn heading to smith.

I got my tickets to go tomorrow night... I'm stoked!

Interested... Check PM

You interested in a pair of 3 year old BD contact "strap" crampons? They have seen some use, but are still bombproof. I'd ask about 60 for them. Let me know if you are interested or if I should f- off.

John, Scary I guess, and a bummer that you had to bail on your route. I do wonder what really happened because it seems a bit unusual for gear to be left behind in a rescue situation such as this, when it appeared there were a lot of people on the mountain helping out? Anyway, karma to you for hauling it out!

Sweetness pics guys.

Nice pics Oly, sounds like you picked a great weekend to be out there.

Hey folks, I'd like to put some grip tape on the shafts of my quarks, but am not sure what people generally use. I've felt the stuff on the nomics, which seems all well and good... But where do you buy something similar, or what else works? Thanks in advance!

Great job fellas! In your latest photo (clint at bivy) did you tilt the camera to make the bivy look more extreme? (just kidding of course!) Great trip guys!

I'll sell you 6 used forged friends (1, 1.5, 2(2), 4(2)) for 70 bucks if you are interested. No falls. PM me if you were interested or want photos... I've been wafling over getting rid of them, just because I don't really use them very much.
