Amazing! Congradulations!!! You gotta love those boy scouts:)

Man that looks fun! As soon as I'm back to working days I'll come check it out!

yes, I went up the Cascadian. Conditions were not that bad. the snow was pretty soft though even at 4am and made slow going. Was able to glissade down the variation about 2500'. From the north side of Long pass to the the base of the couloir was the worst part of the trip. Deep snow in the trees and post holing all the way. Would recomend skis or snowshoes for that approach. I'll attach a pic taken near the start of the climb.

Not sure. I'm waiting for the pics from Gary. I guess I should have handed you my camera too. I'm kind of shy and didn't want to bother you guys. Plus we were past our turn arund time (11:00) and came up with a larger group. Of the eight only three of us made it to the top. We flew back down the mountain hoping to make up time, but passed our group on the way down. Finally everyone made it back and we broke camp and headed for long pass. Alot of post holeing on the way out. We got everyone back to the trailhead around 9:00pm. It made for a long day

Right on! Good to hear you guys made it down safe. Sorry I'm bad remembering names. One of you had a "clif" bar helmet sticker and the other took our picture. <--Thanks!

ROTFL

I made the summit at 11:10. There where two pairs of climbers just comming up. Might have been you guys? It was a real nice day except for the clouds that blew in for the last 500 feet. The summit was clear by the time I hit the bottom.

Fixed some busted lace hook rivets while I waited and didn't charge me anything. The guy was real cool! I bought some waterproofer and laces from him also. Might check him out if you need some work done. Corner Cobler in Vancouver Wa.

Stuart--Done!! Adams Rainier Hood

What you got in mind?

Middle of June might work out for me for Mt Hood. Climbing Rainier the end of may so I'll need a few days to recover. Keep in touch and I'll let you know my schedual when it gets a bit closer to your arival.
