Hey, Stime. Question for ya, did you take the traverse off the Hogsback, or drop down near the fumaroles and head straight up? If so on the traverse, what kind of shape is that in? Thanks.

Thanks Maine-iac. Still not sure if we're going up there or a hike up Mt. Defiance. Trying to decide what would be better for a bit of training, as I'm hopefully climbing Hood in a week, on the 17th. But, maybe we'll be heading up to the upper Palmer area, and if so, I'll look for you in your red jacket. If I go, I'll probably take skis as well. Do you think skinning will be good? How far to go with this current Avy forecast? Ok to go to Illumination and ski down? By the way, looks like it's snowing a bit right now, though probably lightly. . . Thanks again.

Hey guys, some friends were thinking of going up and doing a little ice axe training on Sat. I told them of the avy warnings, but the question is, what elevation is safe? She was thinking of going to the top of Palmer, and practicing around there? Whatdaya think? Safe, or not? Thanks for any responses.

I second that recommendation!

it was probably ATers, they mistook him for a telemarker Are you kidding? Other way around I think: the vocal, angry telemarker attacking the At skier.. . and you know it's true.

We can all dream!

I will concur with the "good job" on the rescue. Glad everyone is safe and sound. This story affirms why, especially on day climbs in the winter, I think carrying a thermos of tea is a great idea. . .

Yeah, can you believe he's posting? he may even buck up and get himself a laptop one of these days! Way to get out there, Larry!
