Just make sure that you don't take a plea bargin to go to traffic school. I did that once and I wish that I had just paid the $150 instead...

Sweet stuff man! Nice pics! You are just knocking them off left and right this season

I would fight it and say that you had just sneezed...

If you don't throw in your buck o' five, who will?

Watch out for the stems though...

Thanks for beta

Has anyone been up there recently? Is the road open to the trailhead? Thanks

I grew up near Confier, so I can relate to your issues. While there is great climbing in the Splat, Boulder, etc. I have found the climbing here to be great (assuming you get the weather window). If you are just into rock, then I would suggest that you stay in Colorado, you will never beat the amount of nice sunny days. If you like to climb a variety of things (ice, alpine, rock, mountains), then I say WA is the place to be. The CO 14ers are just not as interesting as the mountains out here.

Cool stuff! Looks like you got the weather the rest of us were looking for...

It embiggens the soul...

Nice job guys, great pics! Glad that you could get out when the weather was so crappy...

You should move! Do it! Do it!

Solution? Bear traps!

Holy crap! I didn't even notice that

I think it would be great to see someone sending some project wearing some pink lycra and a crazeehead cover

That depends on which helmet you are wearing...

Febreeze the hell out of it. You can even choose your favorite odor

I say give them even more. They destroyed thousands of peoples lives. I say give them life...

Natural selection...

Reminds me of the Kneehigh park sketch from the Chapelle show: http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/chappelles_show/videos/season_2/index.jhtml

The first third of the trail is mostly dirt with patches of intermitent snow. The second third contains a great deal more snow, occasional postholing, but for the most part you can move pretty fast here. The last third involves weaving through the trees, deadfall, and rocks up to the lake. This as well as the route around the lake are much slower moving. However, as traffic increased, there was less postholing. Just watch out for the trees and the edges of boulders. Make sure you stay to the immeadiate right after crossing the last bridge to avoid a great deal of postholing in the boulder field.

That does not look pleasent. Glad you guys tagged the summit inspite of the bad weather

Doh! A deer! A female deer!
