that is terrible... people standing in scethcy ice caves always freak me out....

can you run under ther ice in tennies?

damn... that video rocks man!!!!

ADD much?

Is this supposed to be funny? I don't get it...

lol Im 15 you hoochie

I hate spontaneous combustion ... don't we have enough to worry about? I mean, I have to go to school and do homework and plan climbing trips and it really sucks to have to worry about randomly bursting into flames at any given moment. I also have to worry about exploding into a massive ball of burning flesh when Im climbing, this really sucks when I'm on the sharp end and am trying to concentrate. I think maybe Im paranoid but I just had to let you guys know how I feel about spontaneous combustion.

I concur

One guy on the couse is planning to buy his way to the top of Everest. It's a two year plan. He had no prior experience, but has set the cash aside. He's planning to do Denali next year and Everest in 2010. With this crew. That goes against everything I believe in about mountaineering. Not that there isn't a place for guides, but if my guide goes down, I want to have the skill base to walk out on my own. Or not go. I completely agree with this statement. Paying someone else to climb mountains for you (fixing ropes ect...) doesnt count as climbing your mountain..

must be a peice of cake then .... jk

yeah... 5 people on 2 ropes sucks.... I still had fun though.... next time I will solo or maybe simul thorugh that bushy section... are belays really needed at the upper crux? It would be nice just to cruise up the route with no belays.

yeah ^ BTW ... I tried E ridge of rexford with a group of 5 and bailed due to slowness... but Im still confused about the start of the route, does it start up a big grassy ramp into a tricky chimney that leads to the prow in the middle of the ridge???

what do you think Dru? loks way better than my last time on it.

B.C is close ... B.C = much bigger than washington = much, much more climbing

I knew it!!!

so much for 'Leave No Trace'

I may be able to tell you on wednesay as Im going up rexford tomorrow...

I want to hike in and do the Enchainment on day 1 and then climb more routes in the area over the next 2 days, I'm already planning for the SW Ridge of The north Spire but what other climbs would you recommend. I on-sight trad 5.10 and may be able to work my way up trad 5.11's with some aid/hangs. Looking for high quality routes in the area ....

if the glacier doesnt slide until late august, after you are back in seattle.... if it is in good condition then we will go this week....

there were no pictures of 'the author' !?! looks like fun!

If the pocket glacier goes I want to do this as a daytrip... Im looking for a good partner who would be willing to simul and solo the easy sections and belay the summit tower and a couple of the steeper pitches below (particularily the short, steep section a couple pitches past the gendarme) Car shuttles could possibly be arranged to get back to the Nesawkatch Creek, PM me if interested.

WTF is the condition of the glacier????? does my pic matter lol.......

It is definitely sick that he soloed it... i want to climb it but Im gonna use a rope/partner.. lol ... just cuz we have better teechnology doesnt make make it easy.. look at the Weissner/House on Waddington.. that was done before the Eigerwand and only has 6 or 7 complete ascents to date.... it is still considered very hard and dangerous.

Trip: Pantheon Range TR - Date: 8/8/2008 Trip Report: Me and ScottPick went for a heli trip to the Pantheon Range (north of Mt Waddington) for 5 days.. I tried to climb the East Peak of Mt Siva which is possibly unclimbed. I was turned back three times by loose rock.. Ill post a more in depth report soon. Heres some pics.
