Ugh

bummer on John Roskelley interview of R. Messner. Totally terrible, inappropriate questions lacking respect for both audience and someone's who's accomplished so much.

I lost a copy bought 10 - 15 years ago and would love another copy.... can't recall title name. The book is on Alaska mountaineering, small size, 100 odd pages, supposedly written in two weeks. Contains anectodes and experiences on mountaineering the area. Perhaps by Harvard or Ivy college mountaineering club member. Thanks for any help reacquainting with an enjoyed book.

Nice work finding sweet, open slopes free of tracks.... Looks like approach was not brushy either. .... Totally envious!

Great beta- thanks!

Nice work!

Has anyone spotted my cams or found the gear? It's a very busy route do I'd appreciate hearing.

Aw come on, someone must have hit the stuff. That takes the piss.

Hi, I was leading a new partner up Blueberry Hill, 5.8, 7p, Darrington, and lost several pieces of gear. The anchors are natural so unfortunately, there was no way to get back to the gear. If anyone could spot and return these things (there're Black Diamond cams, Metolius cams and 2 nuts) I would be grateful and can send a reward. Thanks!

Great photos and great TR - Thanks for posting!

Beautiful - And way to push into the cold! It looks like a stellar climb!!

I have a handful of weeks off and am looking for partners early may through mid June.... Ideally for some long alpine routes but would also make a week run for Red Rocks or something of the sort. I lead 5.9 trad and follow through the 10s, lead WI4, A3, IV. I've had a WEMT and am current on MOFA. Also 4 years of msar training and ran an outdoor program in college. Would be pumped to get out.

Jan 23, yesterday... Pretty sweet eh?! It looked wet (and blue) but the rampy like stuff looked thick enough? I didn't see dripping in that tight slot and that looked thick enough for screws; it was more white. I didn't get close enough to tap on anything though.

I hadn't heard of anyone climbing this stuff and saw it for the first time while on a long ski tour. It looks like there are full-pitch ice routes in the narrow slots above Snow Lake, Alpental, WA, at the steeper south part of the lake. I also saw some terraced climbs in a wide pour 500ft above the lake at the west-most part of the lake. The easiest way in would definitely be to Source Lake (45min), over the 4200' saddle and down to Snow Lake (35 min), and a hoof along the lake (20min). The second, higher falls are even past Chair Peak and that ridge. Git Some! Google: Lake Front: 4300' Ice Pours:

Quality beta! Thanks for posting the inspiring shots! ....I'm going; don't tell anyone!!
