Trip: Mt. Slesse - NE Butt Date: 7/22/2013 Trip Report: Hey all, Just climbed the NE Buttress of Mt. Slesse. The pocket glacier is still there. We ran under it to get to the toe of the buttress. That seamed to exspose us to the hazard for only a couple minutes although it was a full on sprint across wet, glacial polished slabs. It got my attention. The cross over descent still looks very snowy. As we did not bring snow gear we hiked off the south side which while long was very straight forward. The road on the south side is open again and we were able able to hitch a ride down to the Chilliwack river road after hiking the 3-4k of old road. We struck out on the ride back to Riverside Campground and were forced to hike the 10k up the road. Got lucky and got another ride up the next logging road to our truck. Two cars would have made this much more mellow. Cheers Gear Notes: tree climbing gear for lower buttress

Trip: Chianti Spire - East Face/ Rebel Yell Date: 8/10/2012 Trip Report: Just climbed rebel yell. There is still a bit or snow on the backside of burgandy col. Go after it softens up or take an ax. We had one ax and one set of crampons and it was fine. Another party styled it with only poles. The route is great quality with the crux being one of the better pitches I have climbed in the alpine. Only a small amount of WA pass kitty liter. It also appears that you could rap the route with only one rope with a small bit of dicking about although two ropes made the decent a straight forward affair. Gear Notes: Bring two fours.

So I will be in Vantage this weekend and am looking for partners. 360 303 4750.

I know it not really the right area but what the hay. I'm in LA after just climbing red rocks for a while. My car has migrated to other places without me... Anyways looking for a ride out to J tree. We have a full rack and some ropes if anyone happens to be down this way and is interested in climbing(and has a car). I can put stuff up and give AWESOME lead belays. Dustin 3603034750

I have a pair of 181cm Coombacks with about 12 days on them that have been drilled for dynafits(330mm). They are a little soft for me and although they would make a great addition to a quiver I am the one ski quiver sorta guy. I also have a pair of Sportiva Trango Prime boots, size 45, with only 5 days on them. They are a little tight for me and I keep bashing my toes. Shoot me a message if your interested and we can talk prices.

Bought these boots and climbed in them for a while but they are too small. They are in great shape. They are 400 dollar boots.

Trip: Dragontail - Triple Couloirs Date: 1/22/2011 Trip Report: Climbed triple couloirs yesterday with a buddy. The snow was in great shape. Perfect neve the entire way. The runnels were mostly neve with ice to the sides. We bived at the lake with intentions of climbing more but woke to pretty warm temps on Sunday. If the FL come back down I imagine it will become good again. I don't own a camera so no pictures. Sorry Approach Notes: The road is fast, there is a broken trail into the lake now. The descent down Assgard was firm neve.

i just climbed 11300 seams like the route will be in for a while. no real ice to speak of but the rock should be in good shape and maybe you will have better snow than we did. dan beard is a snow pile right now with lots of wallowing and avies. maybe if some freeze thaw comes into play it will shape up. i flew out sunday and we were still post holeing around off skies. good luck

Hey, I am busy the next couple days but have Sunday free. I'm pretty game for whatever. Training slogs, runs, painful car to car things. I'd be down to run laps to Muir and ski the chutes things around there as well. I only have the day so if anyone has any ideas let me know. There might be some snow as well so a long ski tour could be fun. I'm in Bellingham but willing to be mobile. Dustin 360 303 4750

trying to ski baker tomorrow. the glaciers in decent shape but my partner bailed on me last minute. weather looks good. if anyone is interested my cell is 360 303 4750 im in bellingham and am looking to leave town round 3-4 tomorrow morning. i think i am going either way so if anyone is interested let me know.

I only have class thues thurs. looking for partners for pretty much anything, climb, ski, board etc. pretty open to any ideas/projects and with the current state of the north west willing to drive to find them. my current hopes/fears are north face of hood, trip couliors if they ever get some ice in them, some stuff on stewart etc let me know my cell if 360 303 4750 i would prefer techinical terrain but im open to traing slogs as well.

yo, just wrapping up some work in Talkeetna then heading back to btown. im over living in a tent on ice and melting snow for water. looking to climb alpine rock in the cascades on some of the more out of the way places. looking at inspiration, gunsight, terror, triumph, stuff in the monte cristo(sp?) region etc. don't have allot in the way of work lined out so if anyone into any of them let me know. cheers also into cragging in the sunshine

hey guys, i work logistics for aai and i will be up there from early april until the end of the season ish. my work is done mid to early may then im hanging out for personal climbing. biggies on the list are sw ridge of frances, mini moonflower, west ridge of hunter, 11300. i am down to climb around here this winter to get in shape and dial things in. i am up in bellingham so if you want to get out let me know. also i can get in and out of base camp pretty easily if you need a partner for something in there and our scedules don't mesh for the entire time. dustin

if flights are really that cheap i would be into to go down there for like a week early march any one in? that or in the next week....

I keep saying Im going to go climb in these places but it never seams to happen. Look to get on a trip going out there or put on to together. Anyone interested let me know. Scedule is pretty wide open Dustin
