I went up the Sulphide Glacier on Shuksan a few years back and got fined by a ranger for not having a permit. My buddy and I didn't get one at the ranger station because we thought there wouldn't be any left. We could have gone down and camped beneath the tree line (or something like that) and not been fined, but we just decided to just take the $50 fine.

I was just thinking about that the other day. A wiki for TR's would be a great thing to have.

thanks. any others for the olympics?

Does anyone know of labeled photos that name peaks you can see from different points around the Seattle area? Like from skyscrapers downtown or I-5 near Everett? Looking over to the Olympics from West Seattle?

One more opinion on this. I'm in the Mounties intermediate class and took the basic class last year. I've liked learning in a structured setting and meeting new people but I feel like most of the instructors love to talk at you and not to you. They don't ask many questions about your previous climbing experience or why you did something, instead they just talk to you as if you don't know much. I don't know if this is the same for all branches but it's an area where Everett could use some improvement. Also, technique is not covered in much detail in the intermediate class. It's a lot about placing pro safely, not about becoming a better climber necessarily. Just a few thoughts there.

Looking for to do some scrambles or easy climbs next week. I start a new job the week after and have to get outside while I still can. I'm in the Mounties intermediate class and have no shame about it. Going to Leavenworth this weekend. I'm in Snohomish but can travel.
