Dan, Do you have anymore current info about Chinook Pass? 4/29 was the last update the DOT website had. Thanks.

Dope. Did you pull a McConkey and jump off the end of the glacier?

I have to be at work at 7 pm wed night. Anyone want to do something that morning/early afternoon? Skiing, cragging, a jaunt up to the tooth on skis? If interested just contact me on here. I'll be in Redmond area.

Anyone interested in getting out for a half day wed morning? Or something along those lines...

stolen for you:

Very cool trip Feck. Whats the snowpack like leaving Holden heading out into the mountains?

Yeah those ticks are arggressive this year!!

Sorry but for all my years of living in Ellensburg I used vantage as a training ground - for both climbing and drinking.

Totally true! And there's some decent beer these days in a can. Hey John, Since you're looking at this thread, what are you doing wednesday?

I haven't been. But if you're asking if snow free then yes. If you go, make sure to check out some of the new routes on the very far west? climbers left? side of the area. Lots of fun 5.10s.

Which wall were you at? Seems like I always see snakes when I go to The Cave.

Thats why I bring aluminum cans when climbing. That and when you're done you can compress them to take up less space. Light and fast!

3 ticks (1 in my chest) and 4 rattle snakes were encountered yesterday! Got to love the wildlife in tieton!

2 day tours in...they tour and ski great. Today I actually booted around a little bit. Felt just like my baturas or really an good mountaineering boot. No comments on technical climbing but hopefully later this spring will be doing some of that.

Where ya heading John? What is the general snow level on the north slopes of the icicle? Thanks...

Thanks Jon. I look forward to getting a set when I have a half grand to drop on ski bindings - or they go on sale.

Jon, Does someone own the plum guide or did you demo it from a shop?

Hey Dane, Got just got my tlt5 mountains and will be skiing them starting wednesday (work till then). So far they have been amazing - weight, walk mode and ski mode. I plan to use them as much as possible, for both skiing (obviously) and climbing (skinning, steep snow, scrambling). I'll let you know how they perform.

Do you have to pay extra to have the F-16 pilot PLB>?

I can't provide a link becasue both threads we deleted. I guess one of the other mods tooks care of it. Some 'new' poster made a couple threads about some other regular members. I, who work night shift, got to see these wonderful creations.

So Off, How did JamesJones fair with your rules earlier this morning?
