Come on guys really???? No one else wants to climb this???

No mixed...some guys who climbed it on Wednesday said its all WI2-3 right now.

Yeah so all my partners are doing something else. From what I've heard its in GREAT shape right now, considerable avy danger decreasing in the next couple days...if the weather holds for Sunday we should really hit it up. PM me por favor!!! Braydon

Anyone want to get on this sunday pm me up!!!

Hahaha I'll second that!

That climb on the cover of this months R&I looked hard enough for me!

First of all what do you guys think is the best ski descent on Baker? Do you need a rope early May or are most of the crevasses snowed up? Thanks

Hahah...I like where this is going...

Sick! I've been wanting to get on this route for a long time..

Looks like some good snow...how did the NEB look?

How do you think the NE buttress of Chair would be?

This is based on a true story...i saw the whole thing...

Thanks a lot Dave...that's what I've been looking for.

So generally if you have shitty icy skiing conditions at Alpental, does that mean these climbs will be hard packed as well? Bump on my question...

I have to agree with you on that one Marc...

Road goes on forever by Robert Earl Keen...not what I was expecting lol...

North Gulley looks pretty good...like goatboy said though this snowpack isn't great. Anyone driven by lately? http://www.summitpost.org/route/223684/north-gulley.html

I've looked into that a little but I hear it can be pretty underestimated...haha maybe something a little less committing in Snoqualmie or the Enchantments or Stuart area first.

Hey guys, One thing that I've never really been comfortable with is steep snow/neve/snice...I was scared out of my mind down climbing Hood a couple years ago and although I've gotten a little more comfortable since then I haven't really done enough to be where I'd like to be. I know the technique and everything I just don't think I've done it enough to get it down mentally. Anyway, what are some good routes around here like steep couloir climbs you can do this time of year w/o a rope? Maybe something I could use my tools on? Or maybe some stuff that would make good simulclimbs for practice? Thanks Braydon

You guys have facebook?

Climbers our age are hard to come by. I've been off cause for a while cause of football season and stuff but that's over for now. I'm a sophomore at Issy and getting my car soon so if anyone wants to get out hit me up! RokIzGud I know your in Bothell so that could work out (even though I'm pissed yall knocked us out of the playoffs haha). Are the rest of you guys Eastside or what? EDIT: Like I said I'm just getting back into this so I'd like to climb with some guys around my experience level. I'm leading around 5.9 rock, know glacier/snow stuff (baker, hood, rainier easy routes), and have done a little alpine ice like Bakers north ridge. No water ice but hopefully soon.

Alrighty I'm always looking for some new ones so lets hear them! Old, new, rock, rap, whatever you like to jam to... Start off: Rise Against - Savior, Reeducation Shinedown - Sound of Madness Offspring - Half Truism, Hammerhead Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away Eminem - Till I Collapse Audioslave - Show Me How to Live GO!
