Yeah that sounds pretty accurate... However I think I may have been responsible for cursing the majority of the deities; I think I even told Zeus to F* off after I kicked that tree to get the ice off my boot and just about got buried by the snow the proceeded to fall off the tree branches above me. I am pretty certain the occasional hits of Wild Turkey and Macallan Fine Oak were what got me through.

Also with regards to the approach, it is about an hour from the road to camp, and maybe an hour and 15 minutes to the base of the route(I made it from camp back to the car in 40 minutes, moving at a fast pace). It would also be an option to start lower on the route, but we opted not too because the pitches would be very short with brushy ledges in between. Jordan, I wrote class instead of close in the approach notes, maybe you could change that when you get around to it.

Jordan, Very nice... I didn't feel like I worked too hard, but my legs are still sore. Also the super cam is actually the small size, not the medium(but the medium would have been bomber as well).

I will take them if they are still available. Email Me: bacrossman@gmail.com Brian

Which Lake Ann Trail? The one starting at the baker ski area?

May 3rd on a climb/ski trip on black peak I lost a Petzl Aztar Ice Axe. It was likely lost on the Lake Ann trail before making it to heather pass. If found I will offer reward, or just make sure to use it well. Brian

Anyone been up to Stuart via Ingalls Creek road or Teanaway? What are the conditions? or is it a better bet to approach from the North? I am considering the Cascadian Couloir.
