chockstone falls is in and super good. All pitches have ice and the last piller super fat, goes at maybe WI 4 or 5. I think we were the 2nd ones to go up it based on tracks in.

I've looked everywhere and also sent an email to Jeff to ask if he had plans to release it to digital (no response)

Alex, thanks for updating the site!

Anyone checkout ice at Banks lake?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Looks like you had fun. We should have headed overthere to follow your tracks on Saturday...We got lured to Chair Peak instead on Sat and as expected met up with multi-parties on route.

did you get out yet?

38.5 Typo that I fixed in the original.

$130..bought this summer and wore them once at the gym and once at Vantage. Too small, went from a Mythos to this shoe. Interested?

Worn twice. La Sportiva Katana 38.5 $100 Photos: http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=51667&cat=516 http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=51666&cat=516 http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=51665&cat=516

Purchased Jan 2009. Here’s the used history: Worn a few times- ice routes with very small approach and 1 approach to Baker ice seracs and 1 approach to Nisqually seracs. Bought the wrong size (too small for me)! I love them so much I replaced with bigger size. http://www.sportiva.com/products/prod/281 Have pictures of boots, pm me. $380, Size 40.5

Cool! We did this route and had lots of fun on it. Great pictures and trip report. (BTW: We met you as you and team were heading up Calculus and we were heading up Vector)

Book: Frenchman Coulee (Vantage) by Marlene Ford and Jim Yoder http://www.secondascent.com/s/index.php?target=products&product_id=30008 I've camped in the "normal spot" it's east of the parking area. Obvious area...Probably other places to camp. Rattlesnakes, don't know.... The bad news is there is no toilet!

WOW. Thanks for sharing the story and pictures

Looks like a little more snow on the runnels then when we were up there on April 26. Attempted the runnel direct route, no ice, just sugar snow and rock. Got 60 meters and bailed on the attempt due to reaching the turn around time. Climbing the runnels without ice is um...hard? My partner was stellar, led the full 60 meters. Pro was mainly pitons. Looking forward to trying it next year, with ice. BTW: I heard cutthroat doesn't have ice (report from last weekend May 3).

Cool to know that they opened the gate! It was a great day to be up there and snag a winter summit!

Hey! Great pictures! It was awesome up there! See you around. Jessica

Anyone up for Silver Star off the North Cascades HWY (Sunday)? PM me if interested. Planning on climbing via Burgundy Col, up the glacier and scrambling the summit. (but would also go via silver star creek) Here's a route description: http://www.summitpost.org/route/159208/silver-star-creek-silver-star-glacier.html Leave either afternoon on Saturday or early on Sunday.
