  1. Mt Thompson west ridge is solid enough, mellow and a gorgeous and mellow hike in mostly on the pct.
  2. I heart Kurt. So does my wife. Anchors on all the routes in mid land at exit 32.
  3. Quitters never prosper.
  4. :tup: I spent 5 nights in the vesper/sperry basin with a group of teens this past summer and have a new found love for that corner of the cascades. Way to make it that much better.
  5. And with all that I am just going to say.... Sweet!
  6. Cool. Always wondered about that route.
  7. That looks like some stellar climbing!
  8. Sooooo jealous in so many ways. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of a relatively untraveled area of NCNP.
  9. Sounds like a Perfect trip. Thanks for the tour of NCNP.
  10. "ALRIGHT, there is a large group of men camped there! Wohooo! Oh wait, they are all teenage boys. And even the group leaders are too young for me." That was a group from B.O.L.D. spending two weeks mountaineering in the area. I lead the same trip in July and came down the SE side of Vesper down Vesper creek to the Sultan river valley. 2 full days of bushwacking Chuck Norris style with 65lb packs with 14 year old boys = aweful. The Vesper creek mining road is all but gone with slight traces. The Sultan river road has also been reclaimed by nature. That stretch is beautiful and very wild these days. Lesson learned: With budget cuts and continual limited access to public lands, don't trust maps.
  11. That last photo is marvelous! I love the alpine lakes wilderness.
  12. Jason, do you even work? between your epic trips and your patient, thoughtful TR writing and photo uploading how do you have time for anything else?
  13. your trs are some of my favorites. thanks for the mix of mtns, critters, and culture.
  14. +1 Doug is a good man. I have worked with him and BOLD for years. As for the "Doug Direct"... did you really expect an easier route knowing the length compared with the name?!
  15. everyone seems to be rocking the orange peanut head these days!
  16. freaking awesome! way to pull off such an epic trip!
