I was up there last weekend, what was showing of the ice actually looked ok. The rest is covered in a few feet of snow.

Ok, I am a dip shit and don't know much about this skiing stuff, my question is how exactly does an alpine lifter binding work?

Where are you coming from? If you want good top roped climbing I would recommend that you head to Mount Erie. Lots of route from beginner to advanced. Plus, on a clear day you get a great feeling of exposure while not being exposed at all.

Holy Shit, I had to change my pants after looking at those pictures of the ice. You weren't kidding with the blue balls thing!

You’re in luck then. My great Grandpa was a hunter for the Government during the great depressions. He kept a Lynx kitten as a pet and it killed there dog when it got older. Ripped out the dog’s throat, poor scruffers!

Well Tazz, I see you have come to the dark side, welcome!

Climbers are allowed on whenever. SAR teams will not continue their search untill spring when the winter snow begins to melt.

seems to me that this should change in the future. I totally agree, Dave. It's my understanding that OR units can come to WA to help us, and they are covered, but not the other way around. Mystifying... Whats up with that? During a rescue recently on mount Baker BMRC got some help from accross the boarder. Seems if Canada can help us, then we should be able to help other states!

I'm a little curious, how are avalanche conditions on this route? It looks like it could be a nightmare. NIce pics by the way.

Like most of the guys who have responded I also have mild Asthma. I can say that it has never really affected my performance at altitude. I actually feel way better when I get up higher. I climbed Rainier a while ago and didn't even need my inhaler, it was great!

Amazing pictures!

Oops, I didn't see the original. I saw the one on Summit Post and decided to put one here, I even looked first to make sure that I didn't double post. Anyways, looks cool and I hope you get some good submissions. People climb plenty of crazy things around these parts.

I'm passing on this information for anyone who might be interested. Northwest Mountaineering Journal, 2007 The mission of the Northwest Mountaineering Journal (NWMJ) is to be an edited, permanent, annual record of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest. The journal documents the events, people, history and spirit of climbing and other mountain sports in this region. The journal is published free on the World-Wide Web by volunteers from the mountaineering community in collaboration with The Mountaineers. Past issues of the journal can be found at: http://www.nwmj.org The NWMJ editorial team is now accepting submissions for Issue 4, to be published in Summer 2007. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2007. Submission guidelines can be found on-line at: http://www.mountaineers.org/nwmj/submissions.html The NWMJ covers all aspects of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest, from high alpine climbing to lowland rock and ice climbing to ski mountaineering. New route reports, historical or research articles, profiles of interesting people, and land use and access issues are all appropriate topics for the journal. Also welcome are pieces that capture a timely or timeless aspect of Northwest mountaineering, regardless of whether they describe a pioneering climb or historic event. If you are uncertain about whether your article is appropriate for the journal, please send a query describing your idea to the editorial team. Send queries and submissions by e-mail to "submissions@nwmj.org". American Alpine Journal, 2007 In 2007, the Northwest Mountaineering Journal editors will again serve as regional correspondents for the American Alpine Journal (AAJ). NWMJ editors will contact persons who have reported new routes in Washington to obtain permission to publish their reports in both the NWMJ and the AAJ. The NWMJ accepts first-person accounts (100-400 words) of all new routes, first winter ascents, and first ski descents reported in the Northwest. The AAJ accepts first-person accounts (200-500 words) of climbs of Grade IV seriousness or higher. For shorter routes and current trends, the NWMJ editors will prepare a regional summary for the AAJ. Our goal is to be complete as possible, so please pass this message along to people who might not otherwise see it. Please submit reports for either the NWMJ or AAJ to the address shown below.

I guess that answers my questions, thanks.

Anyone know if Pan Dome falls is forming up yet?
