Awesome trip, I love the luggage tag on your pack in one of the shots!!!

I will headed up next weekend...I will post conditions...Thanks

Does anyone know the current conditions from Trout Lake to access mt Adams south side? Road 8040 to the cold springs TH? Thanks! Looking to ski the SW Chutes soon....

You are my hero....

I am free Saturday around 3 so I was thinking of heading out around then..casual skin up to a bivy and do the DKH in the early morning...i could be convinced to climb i-rock or something else in the area. I just want to get high...Let me know josh 503-933-for fve 34

Trip: Elkhorn Range, Anthony Lakes - Lees Peak Date: 3/13/2014 Trip Report: I got to the Anthony Lakes parking lot at 6pm and had just enough daylight to skin to the top of the ski hill to catch the sunset and scope a fresh ski track into the back country. This was my first time to the area and I was stoked. I figured I would wake up early and go for something moderate due to the fact I was solo. The sunset was awesome and the moon was bright. I couldn't wait to start skiing in the morning. I figured I would get an alpine start to catch the sunrise from up high. I started up around 3:30 but the clouds had already started to gather. By 6am it was snowing and blowing. The summit of Lees Peak was nice but I didn't stick around. The snow varied like crazy from wild weather the previous week. Parting Shot Oh yeah, the snow mobile accident is all settled, I got a sweet new set up and a little extra dough to cover trip costs. Lesson learned, when someone runs you over take pictures of the scene. Gear Notes: Back country gear Approach Notes: Straight out the resort in to the high country

I am driving out to John Day on Thursday and figured I would get a tour in on Friday. I am considering Angell Peak but am open if anyone is familiar with the area and wants to do something else. I will be driving back to Portland Friday afternoon. I know this is late notice but let me know...Josh

So in the end the insurance company reimbursed me for my skis, skins, bindings, trip cost, and a little extra....I could have gone to the doctor and really milked the situation but I am not that kind of person. In the end it sucked that is happened but now I am getting a brand new rad set up!!! Can't wait to get out on my new skis! The pictures I took after the accident made it a black and white on who was at fault. If you ever find yourself in this type of situation, take pictures.

When and where? It's a beast of a rope!! Happy to help hang it if I can..

I have a 420 foot static rope that I used for caving years ago...It feels like steel cable at this point with all the mud and crud deep in its core but it'll hold!!! I am down with hanging it off the top if we need more rope...

My pack has several reflective bits plus my helmet is slimer green. The super bright moon helped also. He stopped and feels awful about it. A report is being filed with the police...The whole things sucks but it could have ended way worse.

I was planning on skiing Paulina Peak on Saturday and started hiking at 5am. I stayed in the woods or the side of the road as much as possible knowing that the snowmobiles would be zooming by at some point. Around 6:30 I hear the first ones and as I look over my right shoulder I see the thing coming right for me. I jump left as I was on the far left of the road and BAM he hits me in the back doing 30+ mph. My pack and helmet saved my ass. Both bindings exploded and my phone and other items damaged. I am sore as hell but over all we are both lucky to walk away. I am pretty sure he had tinted goggles making his visibility crap. He is lucky my whippet or ski didn't cut his head off. Stay safe out there. You never know when something or someone is going to smash you! I did get one lap in the day before and it was glorious!!!

Stellar climb!!! Nice work hauling the sticks up and over for what looked like an amazing trip.

Awesome, way to get it!

I put up Bent Screw on Friday and it was wild! Ice was good but the top turned to shit.

Give me a call when as we get closer to your trip Bob. I would be happy to climb some of the classics with you. I have a full trad rack and know the area. I live in Portland... Oh and Tim whenever I can get down to Bend I will hit you up..I am always looking for a touring/climbing partner...I am planning to ski Broken Top first week of March!!! Josh Anderson 503-933-4534

Did you guys descend your route or carry over? Good job on making the best of no ice...

I am..him me up when we get some snow!!! AT skier with a Fusion Pass to Tline and Snowbowl. Josh 503-933-4534

I am game for a try...I have spent much time in dirty holes and have a knack for it....If it blows it goes!!! Just say when.

Snow shoes would work for the approach but useless up high...1 tool and an ax would be fine for the chute or depending on how comfortable you are with the exposure going up the gates.

Trip: Mt. Hood - Pearly Gates Date: 12/30/2013 Trip Report: Pearly Gates are a fun way to spend Monday morning. I enjoyed them so much I opted to descend back down them. I didn't see another climber on the mountain until I was headed down from the hogs back. Great day on the hill. Now lets hope it snows!!! DKH looked to be rocky From the berg Looking up the gates Fun little ice step Looking back down Gear Notes: 2 tools made for a fun climb Approach Notes: Crampons the whole way..
