Nice work, my friend!! Loved the TR and photos

What an amazing weekend with all of you! It went by way too fast, though. Whose b-day celebration is next??

Awesome TR Dan!! That looks like an amazing ski I hope you're feeling better!

Beautiful photos!! Josh Hummel and I skiied the Zipper yesterday (2-22-09)and snow conditions were by far inferior to the glorious powder you had last weekend. It was still a great steep ski, though!

Just when I thought this thread was going to lead to inevitable disappointment, Dan steps in and saves the day

Hey Mike, What an incredible account of human endurance and skill. My heart broke while reading this. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This is excellent advice! I am hoping to climb Denali with the Hummels next year. The skis will most certainly be mandatory.

Nice work!! I am sure Sky will be jealous of this fine assault.

Hey Mike, Good luck to you in DC! I know we tried to meet up before you left, but you'll be back. Happy holidays good buddy

WOW!! Ice Bender indeed! Congrats on your awesome finish.

Stay away from Hummel Boot camp. It's been over three years and I still haven't graduated. Check out Jason's website for boot camp progress: www.cascadecrusades.org

Hey Jason! So glad you're morning shots turned out. Beautiful, as always. what an incredible weekend up there! I can't wait to go back.

Wow! Awesome climb.

Yay! I'll be there, too. It will be great to see you all. Click Here for Pirate Flag (not full size, however)

Thank you SOOO much for this thoughtful reminder! Families and friends reading this thread, looking for more information, are most certainly sensitive and emotionally charged. Sending good vibes to friends and family.

Hello! A Hummel and I left our approach shoes, nicely protected from the elements, at the Colchuck Trailhead yesterday. 100 yards from the bathrooms under a healthy fir tree. If found, please email me or drop me a PM. Corona Reward if returned unharmed. Thanks!!

Awesome slide show Colin! Pandora and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This "vaginal sand syndrome" sounds more distressing than not bagging a peak. I would turn around at once if this were to happen.

This all sounds very gourmet and yummy! (Can I climb with you guys from now on??) I''ll be the first to admit it though, I am a Top Ramen kinda gal.

I skied it this weekend, and although wet and muddy, the ski conditions weren't too bad. There is one steep section that may require some elegant "tree branch" belays (the mud flow is impressive), but the climb is well worth it.

Awesome story! Way to go, staying calm and thinking clearly. I love reading posts like this. You shared a (potentially serious) problem and then a viable, intelligent solution. I learned a lot from reading it.

Hey Phil! Yeah, it was nice to see the twins hanging out last night. It's not often that they get to bust loose.

Wow. You guys can party! Pandorable, thanks for the late night swim! That was spectacular.

You betcha! I'll be there around 8-ish, too. Hannah is coming, too! Yippee!

We all have MLUs.
