<---- Kevin O. I'm a sarcastic asshole in real life too so thats why I don't mind using my real name here.

That area is really nice. Never seen anyone up there, plus its only 25 minutes from my house!

I don't know if anyone else is still interested in these...I just started thinking about rock climbing and remembered these. Anyway, DMM will have the production type at the ISPO tomorrow...released in March?? I've seen a couple shops accepting pre-orders... link to full article

I liked the tools alot. I used them for pure WI and alpine routes and thought they were great. Very light and solid. Alpine leave as is, for WI I would but a pink rest like on the quarks.

walking is totally overrated... a sweet day...silken -> dribbles -> as much of avalanche as you can

i like how the first review says they're too heavy

Yeah what he said. Pretty much great snow for skiing as it was snowing even more on my way out Monday

Cascade is awesome. Theres a lot of ice to climb even if you don't feel like going for the finish part, which is what makes it a 3. In addition to their recommendations, there is King Creek. Which is a narrow canyon with a plethora or short and fun ice lines.

and check montanaice.com for updates, etc

Same story for Colchuck. Ended up skiing Aasgard since no one had skied it yet. Great snow. Sorry for the bad pictures, it appeared my camera is slowly dying.

Sorry Dane, I should have added an asterik next to my comment saying that I only ski and spray, no more climbing for me! (Both of which I do poorly, apparently!)

The reason why its not touching down is due to the fact that the ice in the pond melted and the water level is lower than when it formed.

Yeah, I was just giving David a hard time. He hiked and got no ice, I hiked and got the best powder of my life!

Sure it can be WI6 after an earthquake makes the entire cliff over hanging. Judging by the photos Dane was on the WI5 version this winter, and perhaps the WI5+R one last year...but what do I know, montana and wyoming messed up my logic!

yeah, i woulda said that plus others but the person is looking for wi3s. sorry to hear about strobach! thats why i don't climb ice in washington! haha

You can but bring a second and have your follower trail it. If you can still get to the east fork I'd recommend, Palisades, Champagne slot and champagne sherbert. Mainfork...tons. G1, G2, hangover, upper green sleeves, mummy II, cave and gully, twin falls (both), elevator shaft, fat one, magically delicious. thats stuff i can think of off the top of my head (meaning, theres a bunch more i can't think of. get the guide). that would keep you busy for 3+days depending how motivated you are.

I don't know if this is in one of the classic books, but of late this is one of my favorite: NW Couloir of Eldorado in the Spring Approach Climb Not to mention, you top out at the base of the classic knifeedge eeast ridge

When I drove by it this afternoon it looked 50/50 as far as bare rock to snow covered rock. Or something like that.

With all your money maybe you should start your own website? dogsonleashes.com But more importantly, link to the thread that started all this please?

Snow stability was pretty good from my opinion. There was some new snow (heavy powder) this morning. Enjoy! Sorry, this was about snoqulmaie. I'm going up to colchuck monday, I'll report back then.

Green means go, right Bug?

Not to be a dick but there are already at least three threads about this, including one in this forum. There is much support for him. 1 2 3

Thanks. How is the coverage on the road?

pictures please? of the mountains of course

What mountain is this?
