Nice Bro! Can't wait to get back to the Cascades with you!

Awesome Leor! I'm temporarily stuck in the "Dirty South", but hopefully we can hook up for a climb when we are both back in the Northwest!

Great read, thanks!

Wow, thats smokin! Were u running the whole way?

I took a break at Colchuck Lake, a dip in each of the Enchantment Lakes, and then I skipped to my hybrid at Stuart Lake TH in 3:58 minutes... take it with a grain of salt:)

Nice John, good shit! I'll be home in October, maybe we can hook up then!

Hmmm, sounds suspicious. Perhaps the weather gods scoffed at your unworthy pre-climb sacrifice of crow's feet and orange pips. In these wet and wooly days I suggest glazed donuts and bootied carabiners offered up humbly to the fickle lords of cascade rain and shine. Third climbing partners also make nice offerings....

Now is a great time to go if you are looking for a speedy ascent of this thing...

Nice John! I'm going to be getting out that way someday!

Nice Leor! Thats some swell looking country, quite a nice backyard for ya! I'm going to be gone this summer, but I hope to hear about you beating my time on Das Tooth and our time on Stuart's West Ridge!

After reading his books and the articles on GymJones.com, Twight seems like the furthest thing from a Communist. He radiates a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality. His lifestyle and writings shout "elitism" and decry freeloaders. He's vocal about exercising his second amendment rights. He trains US Special Forces personnel.

Yep, best viewed from afar.... crappy rock, even on the steep stuff. Reminded me of "Jenga".... dont pull out the wrong piece! Found a way to access the face that seemed to avoid private property. Lots of snow up top still....

Kinda cool looking from I-90, anybody do any climbing up there? The haystack has decent rock, wonder if it extends down the west face? Thought, stories, slander? Thanks!

Thanks guys! How'd the ice directly below Jaberwocky Tower look? Feel free to post any relevant pictures.

Anybody been up there recently? Thoughts on Dragontail's north face routes? Is any ice still sticking around above the lake's eastern shore? Gracias!

Hard to beat the Stuart Range/Enchantments for spring time alpine ice. Decent weather, reasonable approches and long, interesting route. Check out McClellan Peak, Dragontail, and Stuart....

Yeah, I was actually refering to the Sawtooths in Washington... NE of Chelan and south of the Methow. Just curious as to any particular pieces that a rack should include for forays in the area. Thanks for the input.

Any general recommendations on what type of pieces to include in your rack for this area? Thanks!

So is this "extreme event" going to repeated this year for charity?

Cool report! Tvash, I noticed your lugging the BD Speed pack... I use one also and I was wondering if you crammed all your stuff in that for an overnighter, or was that your "summit pack"?

Anyone want to squeeze in a "winter ascent" before the season ends on the 20th? North Ridge of Kaleetan (I've done the approach and have all the beta) Northwest side of Chair East Face of Bryant or the Tooth or ????? I'm always up for leaving super early....

How about Dave and Colin's route on Summit Chief's North Face? That route looked great, but I have not heard of anyone getting on it since.... how would one best approach this route in the winter?

Neat-o! We also climbed Kaleetan today, though from Snow Lake. Musta just missed you.

Anyone climbed it or heard of it being climbed? Approach recommendations from Alpental? Thoughts?
