tales of a western mountainer,by E,Rusk

If I had the gas,and time!

Time for a beer!!

Been climbing it for 40 yaer's,like the veiw!!

But still a nice climb!

All that climbing for crap snow,should have rode the chair at Hood!

the snow has letfed the mt.

Nice PICs.

The little guy look's friendly!!

Hell if I had a midget I could have him or her walk and carry a 12 pack beer.

The sport has got to big,the mountains are like freeways,but for as many climbers going at it today,we have about the same number of accidents as we had 30 year's ago, peace be with her. BE COOL BE SAFE!!!!!!!

Give me 5 min. with the blond,and keep the beeeeeeers coming!!!!!

This year's record snow fall is gone!!

Good Time's were had in between rain and cloud's,sound's like fun. We had a record snow fall this year,what happen to it!! Norm

Just follow the dirt track's up and down Suksdorf Ridge,don't climb in Whiteout's. Norm

Get a $1,000,000,00 Life Insurance ,hell she'll pack your bag,don't trust the rope if she packed it!!!!! Norm

I know it happen 3 or 4 yr's ago,and was felt in Trout Lake!! Norm

My parten broke his ankle coming down the hogs back on Mt.Hood, two of us got him back to high camp at Illumination Saddle,rest, eat,and carried his gear down to the car with him leanning on us all the way,could not get his boot off!! It was his left ankle, and he drove home to Kent WA. hell if he broke his leg we have still draged his ass down!!! Norm

I don't Know if I would call them bad!! Dumb,won't listen,not paying attention,and would rather learn the hard way!! Got to love them!! Norm

Sooooooo Kooooooool!!!!!!!! It's to bad it's not a big moumtain, love looking at it from the top of Hood,but I would still love to climb it!!!Norm

Mazama Gl lake is biger then I've seen it in 15 year's, glacier's on Adams in poor shape,sun cuped,wet,hot weather forcasded for next 7 day's plus!!! You mite try Killen Creek Trail Head,or Divide Camp Trail Head,but it's a long walk in to Adams Gl,or North Cleaver!!! Good Luck!!! I'll be at lunch counter fri-mon climbing Sukdorf.. Round the Mt. Trail is closed east of south climb trail. Norm
