along those lines, was there a HUGE avalanche to the east of the top of Palmer lift on Hood? I was driving hwy 26 today and it looked like there was a very large fracture line along th edge of the gully to the far right of Palmer lift. Above Heather canyon maybe?

Oregon Mountain Club Article Climbing mountains for more than 60 years Climbers' resource Oregon Mountain Club still meets at Oregon State University after being founded by Everest Climber Willi Unsoeld Evan Miller Issue date: 5/1/08 Section: News * Print * Email * Article Tools * Page 1 of 1 OSU mountain club member Denise Knaebel, left, and club president Kalin Lee proudly display the club's flag on the summit of Mt. Hood. OSU mountain club member Denise Knaebel, left, and club president Kalin Lee proudly display the club's flag on the summit of Mt. Hood. Although the daily life of a college student may be seen as stressful for some, others need additional challenges in their lives in order to be satisfied. Like climbing mountains. The Oregon Mountain Club is an excellent resource for meeting people who share a love of outdoor adventure. The club meets at OSU every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Peavy 108. All OSU students and community members are welcome to come. "We're just a bunch of folks who love to climb," said club member Evan Miles, a senior in mechanical engineering and international studies. "The more experienced climbers pass down their knowledge, and a lot of people come here to get more members for adventures they are planning." The group meets to plan upcoming excursions, exchange stories, teach survival skills and usually a member will share a slideshow of a recent trip. This week, member Michael Thuynes, an OSU graduate in zoology, showed pictures of his rock climbing trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam this winter. "We're definitely looking for new members," said Kalin Lee, president of the club and junior in electrical engineering and computer science. "We have beginner trips to Smith Rock and Mt. Hood coming up in a month and a rafting trip planned for next fall." Lee is also a member of the local mountain rescue team and the OSU Triathlon Club. Also in the works are trips to Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Shasta and a Smith Rock clean up day. The group is not just limited to mountain climbers. Most members enjoy skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking and virtually any form of outdoor adventure as well. The Oregon Mountain Club has a long history. It was founded in 1947 by former OSU student and professor Willi Unsoeld, who would later be a member of the first successful American expedition to the top of Mt. Everest in 1963. "Back then the group had a meeting once a year on top of Mt. Hood," said member and OSU graduate in forestry Ian Roth. There is also a tradition of taking a club banner to the top of mountains, starting with Unsoeld on Everest. Because it is no longer officially affiliated with the university, the club receives little publicity on campus. "The best way to get in contact with us is to go to our website oregonmountainclub.com and subscribe to the listserve," said Lee. "We will e-mail our schedule of upcoming trips to everyone, and members can e-mail the entire group to find partners for their own trips." Evan Miller, staff writer

[TR] Smith Rocks Monkey Face - West Face Aid Route 4/27/2008

Shapp, Nate is still around. I've seen him every now and again(or at least heard of sightings). He is on here occasionally too. -
We made it up later in the morning on Sat with a group of 5 and probably 20 others summited about the same time as us. Definitely the wettest summit experience to date, though wind wasn't much more than 15 mph. West crater/old chute is in great shape currently. Great snow texture and little ice.

[TR] Mt. Hood South Side - Pearly Gates Deviation 5/3/2008

we are headed up tonight teaching a noob group. I'll let you know how it goes... -
As a side note, what DOESNT generally kill climbers is equipment failure. (begin Aliens argument, AGAIN)
-
whats the final destination?
-
from a trip last year. We played with the little guy for 25 min or so and then he tailed us for another 30. I would poke him with my paddle, my fiance poked him, he poked back, he chewed on our rudder and I would smack him using the rudder controls. He was definitely interested in us as much as we were with him. Really just an amazing little experience up in BC
-
it all showed up. Friend said he didnt have it then changed his mind when I insisted he look through his pile again (he hadnt bothered the first time) !#%*@!

Spotter: What is the climb you posted the pic of? That looks great!
-
If she climbed, he wouldn't need the photographer as a climbing partner!
-
Can someone move this to Cafe Sensitivo? Honestly people! (Congrats CP! I am going through the same thing this solstice)
-
arguably less strenuous than climbing too, because you dont have to carry all your overnight gear in your pack. Woohoo!

I gotta say, the best high I have ever gotten is from highlighning. Adrenaline is a powerful drug...
