Well then, since this is about sharing and not chestbeating: Solo of Mt. Despair was pretty gratifying, really enjoyed N ridge of Forbidden too.

The Garmont Pinnacle is essentially the same as the Tower, but with wider forefoot and all leather upper (no gtx). Olympic Outfitters carries them.

Yeah, what a lily. Just kidding, dammit.

Fireweed, I believe. Shot was taken near avalanche swath.

Climb: Dome, Gunsight, Elephant Head- Date of Climb: 8/18/2006 Trip Report: Great alpine ramble. Climbed Dome, crossed to Chickamin (not without challenges), climbed Gunsight (easy route; gotta go back in there with more gear for better lines, beautiful rock), traversed Chickamin, scrambled Elephant Head, rapped to Dana and out. Itswoot bivy. Sweet. Sinister Elephant Head at left (from Gunsight) Chickamin ice / Buckner Gunsight Gunsight to Sinister Radness Looking across Dana to Dome crossing Spire Point. On the list. Purdy!! Gear Notes: (2) 30m 8mil

Also curious about this descent to Boston Glacier. Thanks.

I had considered that. I'll try to be more discriminate with my reports.

Climb: Adams-Adams Glacier Date of Climb: 6/18/2006 Trip Report: Route is in great shape. Approach Notes: Road open to TH.

Have the 57cm set. Adze with classic. Hammer with tech. Very versatile and relatively lightweight (20 oz w/leash). Comfortable for piolet canne. Swing well. Have used them on 50-70 deg alpine ice/snow. Haven't tried them yet on WI, but think they would fare well. Overall, think they are a great set of alpine tools.

Did this route on Sun 4/30. Snow firmed up beautifully Sat night. Nice climb.
