Any body climb it lately? if so how is it, and any beta i should know

where do you guys go for weather forecasts? Is there a different site for Raineir and the other valcanos, alpine lakes, etc.

sweeeeet... didi you reserve permits or do the "loto" thing.

i have read so many books on it and am all ready a strong rock climber. They had me help out with instructing basic rock climbing (foot work, chimneying, rappeling, etc) i took the class to learn glacier skills, which i already partially knew from the reading. i just learn better from seeing things, bot reading it.

umm considering that i ended up helping teach parts of the class i dont see that as the case.

I have learned the basic skills thru a mountaineering course I just finished. However, i dont trust the majority of the people in my class, therefore I am looking for some partners. I have lots of time, and very enthusiastic. Send me a PM if interested. Im wanting to gain real experience ASAP.

sent a pm

never been wannaa go. looking for some one experienced that wants to play "guide" up something mellow. leading 5.8/9 trad comfortablly. so looking for a easy intro route to the area for a day or two. pm im me if you want to....

how is that route. i have heard of it but not much

still pretty new to trad and multi pitch. made two runs up castle rock in leavenworth. i heard there is big routes around north bend. if so how are the routes and is there a link to were i can check em out... thanks

also, are there times when you would use a single piece like a big ass solid tree and just throw a sling around it and call it good or maybe a huge bomber rock horn or flake, or would you always back it up with at least one piece.

thanks guys. im feeling much better about it now. i spent the morning at the local crag playing around. it is a scary concept to know that my partners and my own life will be hanging from what i build so its good to get some feed back that im not the only one thats a little scared to start with.

So i have read enough books on this topic i should be a pro. im terrified of the thought of hangin off an anchor i have built (not that i place bad pro just scary the first few times.) any good links to building these things for some photos. and how do you guys do it. are you using cordelete ( what im leaning toward) slings the climbing rope, etc.

I am looking for someone that would be willing to help me out with some trad stuff. I did a little bit last year but not much so ould like to get my confidence up. i live in spokane but like to travel. if interested please email me.

lol no shit. but what ever. people are going to bitch one way or another

thanks man, im the guy that fell. doing much better now.

i am new to the alpine thing but super anxious to go balls deep into it. i live in spokane, wa and am tradding abou tthe same range. im lookin gfor people experienced and willing to share knowledge, if interested

so what do you recomend aas a good climb. we are going as a class to do Athabasca at the end of the month, so we want to do a little more snow practice before hand

SO IS HOOD TO MUCH OF A JUMP RIGH TNOW OR IS IT A GOOD CLIMB TO DO FOR SOME NEWBIES

I have really only done Stevens peak on the border of Idaho and Montana. A friend AND I going to do Hood here in a few weeks as our first real climb. As for my style, alpine rock is what i want.
