What was your time getting to Ridgway? Ames looks a lot better than when I caught a glimpse of it a couple of weeks ago, with a heckuva lot more snow around it.

Why sling the boot after crampons are on? I'm having trouble visualizing.

I had a roommate who had an entire wall covered in a wallpaper image of Shuksan, pretty damn cool.

I will be headed over there for work the week after next, leaving Monday and coming back Thursday or Friday. I could give it a try, but I am from Bellingham, and we will be coming back via Highway 20. I'm going to be away from internet till next weekend, but if nothing pans out I could bring them to Bellingham at least. John

Terminal Gravity Brewery is in Enterprise if you end up looking for somewhere to eat. Never been there, but the beer is damn good.

PM'd for the puffy.

Haha. What a great trip report. Sounds like a great trip.

Look like awesome photos. My monitor is pretty FUBARed so my resolution is awful, but in the summit porn shot which way are you looking? I can vaguely see that there is a break in the mountains then they start up again? River drainage? Looks like it was a great trip, I hiked into Five Mile Island over break for a day, I could see how it got pretty mindnumbing.

Nice read, sounds like a hell of a good time. Thanks.

That's ascent # what for the Slovak. Really impressive to read about. Pretty intimidating to climb it or die basically.

If you can search for Bellingham Evening Top Ropers on Facebook. Its a bunch of Bellingham climbers that gathered from a thread like this. I will be off weekends this summer, and will have sporadic email, so send me something via PM if you need a partner and chances are I can swing it.

I had a leak in an older Trail something Thermarest, and the repair kit I used involved heating a pot and using it as an iron in order to get the glue to soak in better. Did you try that with the repair?

Found a raincoat on 6/25 at the junction of Moffet Creek Trail and Horsetail Creek Trail. Let me know if you lost one around there.

Exactly, there are so many of the fuckers around here you'd think they would make it onto Craigslist more.

I'm looking to join the hordes of Subarus with rocketboxes. I am going to be doing field work for most of the summer, so am going to be living out of my car on days when I am not in the field. Anyone have any opinions of the cheapest Yakima box. 11 cubic feet good enough? I'm in a hurry to get it so I can start covering it with stickers of places I've never been, so stickers would be appreciated too. Thanks.

Dane is there a way to set it so we can see the poll results without voting, cuz none of those apply and I don't want to fuck up your survey.

See claws?

Pretty sure those are cougar tracks. Bear would have a larger heel pad on the rear foot and five toes I believe.

Cool offer. Hope someone that needs/really wants em gets em.

Could do this.

Jesus, that is a real picture, thought it was photoshopped. Looks like someone screwed the pooch on the stability report there. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36782187/ns/weather/

http://homepage.mac.com/inov8/Compass/msrimages.html Take a look through this. If you look on the homepage of the website it is possible they have more old MSR catalogs. Was this in that Craigslist posting with the hammer and old looking Joe Brown helmet?

I'm pretty sure its a picture from K2. Spacing out meeting with an adviser the other month was made a lot more interesting with that picture. According to Wikipedia he is one of only 66 WWU students to receive the "Distinguished Alumni Award"
