your TRs are always a joy to read. way to bring the youth into the climbing realm and make it a scientific/research journey as well. solid work!

different stokes for different folks... i would definitely think it was weird seeing all this at Lil Si, but I would have kept my mouth shut and helped out in an emergency. climbing is an activity that is deeply rooted in freedom. I have my opinions of what climbing in good style is, but that doesn't mean everyone else should follow my beliefs, especially climbing.

Olympics are so cool. who cares if the rock is crap right. Plus as you mentioned, forest treats! Great photos!

thanks matt, i appreciate your work. The nice old lady at the pizza place in town speaks highly of you as well!

5.2 from roosevelt to kaleetan. one loose section. i assume the rest is mostly scrambling and one long day!

bummer! sounds like the next person out there needs a machete and some flagging tape. I have been wanting to get out there as well but feared exactly what you experienced. Thanks for the update!

drool... that area has been on my beacon for a while now... nice work fellas

is there a good bivy anywhere along the route? seems long for a day climb

You guys are true stewards to the climbing community. Thanks very much for giving all us poor, lazy cats something new and amazing to climb in D-town.

strengthen your core, and climb more

cool looking route!

phenomenal pictures man! way to capture the surreal surroundings!

HAHA! Rapping Asgard.... it never gets old! I was waiting for you guys to do it, and was relieved when it did not enter the story.

thanks for all the info guys. It will probably take us 3 hrs. we are going to go out the night before and camp as far in as we can get since its me and the lady. matt thanks for the recommendation of exfoliation dome, but we already did the west butt a few weeks ago. actually, we did not summit because it was severely hot and we ran out of water, but... we are looking for something new and more exciting.

Thanks for the clues guys. is the road bikeble?

Am thinking of taking the lady up there for some "safe sex" I have yet to visit this wonderful chunk of rock... What can I expect on the approach? How far am I walking on the road? Is the trail hard to follow? How long is it time wise?

Ingalls north peak, south ridge. 3-4 pitches, mostly 4th and low 5th. i pitch of 5.4 or 5.6 low angle crack. 3.5 miles in.

you came damn close to that crevasse on the way down around 4 mins in! YIKES! solid work!

nice idea for a traverse, looks beautiful! more pics?

great pics! looks like a fun route. Welcome back to the Cascades!

marvelous! You really hit a nice weather window! Congrats! The climbing looks supreme!

its sad. climate change sucks on so many levels. but i like to think of myself as an optimist... the approaches will eventually be easier, and the rock routes will be longer!

wow, beautiful work

so jealous. good times in the bugaboos!

yea, that is what it is listed in the book at least.
