wheres this fortune peak you speak of...must do research

hey spotly, how was the snow on longs pass? skiable? or anything in that area?

Dane, sorry to hear about your injuries but heres to hoping you heal up fast. Thanks for sharing.

Trip: Mt Stuart - Ice Cliff Glacier Date: 6/8/2008 Trip Report: Well I finally got around to posting one of these things..I know Sol already posted a TR but I figured I'd share some more photos and such. 1:45 am, alarm goes off and we eventually mosey out of our cars and start hiking. This is my fifth car to car trip - but the first one being able to park at the TH! What an amazing difference it not having to hike that fucking road. After wandering around the woods aimlessly we happen on this: We figured this to be the community bear spray bottle - thankfully we only had to dispense part of it. A little later we found this thing in the morning sun and decided to go climbing. Once we reached the snowline we noticed a highway of foot traffic leading to our climb. We also noticed someone decided to bring their pet with them, thankfully they left it at basecamp. After attaching some sharp objects to our feets and hands to headed upward and had some great alpine climbing. This whole face was falling apart. Thankfully we were past it when three avalanches/slides came down. Sure sounded good though. We thought we'd be more sheltered from falling stuff after getting into the coluior - this however turned out to be the exact opposite. After moving through the steady spindrift and ice fall, in which we were all hit at least five hundred times, Matt found the way out of the mess: Here are the other two teams coming down from the summit. Little did they know this was our plan to climb after them so we didn't have to do any thinking at all. After being lazy we decided to find the summit Being the old man that I am, I had to take my normal 11am nap. When Matt started down climbing to sherpa, my calfs said "fuck you, i've had enough front pointing for one day." so i took the lazy approach and just sat on my butt and slid down - I recommend everone to try it. Here you can see Matt, the team of two on the glacier, and the team of three waaaaaaaaay down at the bottom. I also took it upon myself to find a crevasse so everyone knows where not to go. What a great day. Gear Notes: more food and water next time. Approach Notes: 4 hours to base of mountain. 4 hours to top out. forever to get back to the car.

blah blah blah

Yes, that was us. Really good weekend for being in the mountains. I wonder if the group doing a route on dragontail is on here as well?

were you the guys that got there late saturday night? If not, there was another group planning on climbing sherpa as well.

um on the lower part of sherpa. you know where that exposed rock was right before the slope dropped off a bunch? right in there. Only my legs punched through and matt pulled me out. good stuff. maybe i'll post a tr and talk about the ice and avalanches rained down on us. ha

good to know we had a cc party on stuart. me, matt cook and my friend david were team 3. GREAT day in the mountains - the route was in such good and fun conditions. I never realized how much of a bitch descending sherpa is - could be that we were just really tired. But then again I fell in a crevasse...

like this

that video is amazing

I see whats going on here...

Is it suppose to be ironic that you misspelled loving? Regardless, good on ya for the booty shaking.

I remember when we were driving back from red rocks last spring, we were cruising through death valley and we saw a b-2 being refueled. pretty cool sight.

Yeah, Tvash is on a long trip in Alaska.

Jim Yoder has been at vantage on the weekends in his RV selling "damaged" copies for cheap

climbing/party in eastern washington? i'm there.

That would be later in the night after sobo introduces you to me. 8D

does hellacious mean good?

Sobo, I broke a face hold yesterday and fell some 34". Where were you to catch me?

I hope to watch fights in hockey. I took a 30 foot fall in red rocks. I thought it was big. but thats because i was clipping and the rope caught my leg and flipped me over. But I'm probably just naive and haven't gotten out much. Basically I'm saying this is a subjective topic - nothing wrong with discussing, but there is no reason to get upset because everyone has their own opinion, no hard and fast definition.

is this a comedy routine? his last line answered your question? haha wow. I guess I didn't read far enough. I mean yes - just trying to be funny..........................

sol, how did ice cliff glacier look?

yeah i know you don't live their anymore. that just sounds cooler to say than tri-cities.
