Is dorado needle NW ridge still accessible? How’s the glacier and is the moat an issue? I’m wondering because I don’t see this route claimed often in September by mortals. thanks!

has anyone on CC been up Adams glacier lately? I have not seen any trip reports and I am curious what the conditions are like right now. T

The vast majority of posters on Komo are ignorant. Just reading the comments on their is enough to give a healthy individual a heart attack.

Unfortunately I am not good enough to ski it =). I hope the posthole h#@$ is not as bad as you make it because I am probably gonna skip on the snowshoes.

This is the forecast so far for the coming weekend. Sorta sounds like we have a 50/50 chance of making it: SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. SNOW LEVEL 9000 FEET.

Gonna hit it this weekend. Anyone been up recently? snowshoes needed? Do not want to have to posthole the whole way!

doing Ingrham direct soon, was wonderng if the snow is consolidated enough right now to not have to use snowshoes? I just dont want to posthole the whole way up =)

Did not hear about that one. But sounds like your friends story true or not just came true today with. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/95695844.html

Not to knock the kid, but didnt a 12 year old sherpa make the summit on a whim just a few months ago? T

Anyone been up the ingrham direct lately? I was thinking of doing it next week, but don't want to if I am going to be postholing the whole way! ARghhhh. Any beta is much appreciated.

Thinking of heading up there in the next week. Anyone been up recently? I know the temps are going to be a bit warm on Sunday. Don't want to have a post hole fest! I am sure it will be!

Just one more thought. Climbing itself is not selfish, but in my experience those who climb the most tend to be a bit self centered and selfish.

What a COP out. Your argument is full of holes. Religion is not the reason why people kill each other. However religion may be used as a tool by some to destroy others. There are plenty of world dictators and evil men I.E. Stalin, Pol Pot, and Hitler who had no need for Christianity or Islam. People will find plenty ways to kill one another. Sure religion may be used as an excuse, but I can think of alot of excuses that humans use to kill one another. I.E. race, class, economics, technology.

Thats cool, I see you decided to stay on the east side of the state. Probably a good idea =) Looks decent.

nice job steve, is that near walla walla?
