http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/segments/view/1532 around the 7:50 mark you get to see the photos. (For those of you looking to save time: your likeness was not captured on these cameras (nor the wolverines'))

Looks like doo-doo water. Or the river Augustus Gloop fell into...

I was wrong, Bill. Apparently, they are making it all public on Facebook. Facebook - Yocum Ridge Solid Hot diggity, they done good.

Nice report! How was the travel on the Newton Clark? How long did it take to hoof it over to the spur?

Judas Priest's Jugulator, Velvet Underground's Squeeze, The Doors Full Circle, the incidental music from Leonard Part VI, Doorbell Samples from Home Depot...

Don't worry, it is much better than The Alps. And even though you already know what's going to happen, it is easy to get lost in the struggle and enjoy the film. The filming is great for the climbing scenes. The romantic parts or the parts where they make Kurtz and Hinto out to be not-really-bad Nazis are obviously the producer appeasement. But still, I enjoyed Joe Simpson's Beckoning Silence on You Tube even more than Nordwand and only wish that one could be seen on the big screen. The scenes on there of the traverse really show you a thing or two.

Here's something from a month ago: http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3984 Probably not a route to do without some careful planning beyond the limits of the internet.

Looks like none of the responders are in alignment with my plans. But now the plans changed anyway. I'll be there the 11th-13th-ish and still seeing if anyone else reading this will be, too.

Oh my. Bad news bears. http://www.kptv.com/news/17011665/detail.html

Lost my new GPS up near June Lake this past week. I have the serial number. Anyone find it?

Some time off and headed to the Tetons in early August. Looking for a safe (!) partner to climb the OS with. PM me if interested.

Use caution: "The weather should begin improving Wednesday with mostly cloudy conditions early with increasing sun breaks expected later Wednesday and rising freezing levels. Sunshine and further rising freezing levels are expected Thursday with freezing levels reaching 9 to 11,000 feet in the north and south respectively by Thursday afternoon. This expected weather should cause an increase in the avalanche danger, especially late Wednesday and again Thursday as the recent snow quickly becomes wet and unstable due to the affects of the sunshine and warming. Wet loose and possibly wet slab avalanches should become likely later Wednesday and again Thursday, with some slides entraining significant snow as they descend."
