Fully sick Bryan! I have to ask due to the name of the route, Did the Bickle Wiggle make you squeel like a pig?

Watch these ninja skills: Cheamclimber = Machoman

thanks for the info, I love it up there.

Can we hear the story? That thing looks effin sketchy to descend in the summer!

NW Face goes at 5.10 and am pretty sure it links with the NR above or below the Gendarme. The NW butress links up with the WR though.

I can do quite a bit of firewood!

:moondance: ... Way to go Bryan, can't wait to hit up the sawtooths. Definitely going next year! Get those TR's up QUICK! ...

cheers! :brew:

Thankyou Argus for confirmation on my retardedness.

It's few and far between around there. Check out Lake Koocanusa, a bit of a drive, but it's got some good stuff!

Good God that route looks sick. That was my partner Jesse and I who you met on the summit. You weren't kidding about how sick that route is! Sorry about the epic return to the car. You did descend down Ulrichs. We got a little lost trying to find the cascadian and had to climb back up. We actually never had to make a rappel, I decided against rapping off a death block sitting on sand! We heard you yell from the summit but saw you on rappel and assumed you were OK. There definitely are not any raps in the Cascadian, it's just looooooong . Your epic return to the car makes ours without water sound pretty easy. We got home around 3:30am (thank you Adderol). Good job boys, can't wait to do that route!

WOW, good trip. We were about an hour ahead of you on the approach to do the CNR, we bailed at Stuart Pass and decided to do the West Ridge on a Whim with no prior knowledge of the route. Lets just say it was interesting. The temps were ridiculously cold, that bivy must have royally sucked! Glad your friend is alright.

Well there really are so many classic scree surfing gullies in the range. The most classic of course being sections of the Cascadian. Now, I know people have skied, hiked, and scree surfed (screed) it, but we should focus on finding out who successfully made the first scree descent of it and recorded in the Cascade Scree Mountaineering Journal. They set the bar for the rest of us. Way to carry the torch guys!

Good times. You have some sweet pics there!

I've been asking myself the same question for a while. We all do the occassional Teton, Beartooth, RMNP, and Dessert trip. Why not add a forum or two?

Static Point - The South fork of the Sultan River access road is gated at Olney Pass. This means that there is about a 4 mile approach. I would recomend a mt bike. The snow should all be gone on the approach though.

Don't break your ankle (you kinda need your foot to walk out). Leave an itinerary. Keep unneccessary negative thoughts to yourself because it will only increase the tension in the party.

I always flip the switch to tour mode when I really really really don't want to lose my ski. By doing this, it would take a considerable amount of force for you to release from the ski. You will run the risk of getting hurt and whatnot but sometimes I just want to have my EXPENSIVE setup with me for the descent. What model Dynafit do you have?

I'm glad to hear you guys are alright! Thanks for the bolt condition beta. How's the snow at Colchuck Lake?

Ten four on that one!

Fully sick man! Congratulations, I'm really jealous.

The Antler Motel is the cheapest and the best bang for your buck. Otherwise, check out the two hostels; Teton Village, and The Anvil right across the corner from Teton Mountaineering. The Anvil is about $20 per night (but watch your gear in there). The Teton Village Hostel is a little more pricy but waayyy chiller. From my experiences in Jackson, I have my doubts as to whether or not you'll be able to haggle prices. Have fun!
