I lost a green Grivel Salamander helmet on the approach to the West Ridge of North Twin. It is somewhere in the upper clearcut after the miles of logging road. If someone is up there soon you would probably find it by retracing the descent of the snowshoeer whose tracks look like he was drunk. It likely got knocked off the top of my pack by a branch. Reward of beer is offered, plus the eternal thanks of a poor college student. In a related note, does anyone have helmets for sale that come in size monstrous, or advice on others? Thanks, John

What do you have, I'm in Bellingham and interesting in expanding the gear collection. Probably would get better sales if you said what you had.

How does the winter compare to say the lLghtsabre. I have a Lightsabre, and have stayed dry, unless a pretty strong rain. It is nice having the lifted hood which keeps the fabric off of the face. It is EPIC fabric also, and I get front buildup around my feet at night, and it typically feels a little muggy during nights when completely zipped up.

Click the damn link and laugh a little, its a f*&king joke. Jesus H tap dancing Christ.

I'm not sure what branch of the ONG was involved, but they were helping construct and grade the new parking lot at 1000 Acre Wood across 84 from Broughtons. Sounds like a similar concept that you had. My younger brother helped with that a little, and if I remember right Friends of the Forest was involved in some of that. Maybe if you contact them you could learn a little more. Thanks for all the work, when I am back in Oregon I will be sure to come to these meetings.

Sick of WWU's gym, so it has potential.

http://www.komonews.com/news/37411004.html#idc-container Looks like there are going to be some more repercussions from the Grouse Mt deal. About how m any deaths are there yearly in the slackcountry? Is this year higher than normal, or is there more media attention?

Gold crampons may be a little heavy.

Why do you post that question every six months or so? Wait, why isn't this in spray, all TR's are spray?

Shameless plug, but stop in at Winter Fox in Sandy, first shop on the right, brown wood building, we're nice people and know some stuff. That said, the place Scheissami references, Mirror Lake trailhead currently has no parking, because ODOT, or whoever pushed snow into that area when clearing the roads. White river is pretty flat and you can go as far as you want. Trillium lake is groomed, but a lot of people still go there to snowshoes, and is a loop around the lake, with one steep hill down to the lake. Barlow pass is cool, and you can hike to either frog lake, or twin lake from there, or if you continue down 26 can access them from other trailheads.

Just saw that, thanks for posting it.

It's a good thing that evac and flight back to the UK are also powered by green energy, otherwise he might run up a bit of a carbon footprint. Uhoh.

Oh yeah, sweet pictures, way to climb stuff that looks pretty fawkin tricky.

Are those prehung cable draws next to The Glitch? What is the story behind those?

My virus scanner blocked that site, just a heads up for others, might want to check your computer.

Sweet thanks.

I'm looking at getting a pair of carbon fiber black prophets, and am wondering if I would still be able to swap in new picks? I would imagine so, but just want to be sure.
