Glacier Girl

Mountainmandoug and I were out on the seracs that day too. Strange that we didn't see you. We found an area tall enough for a full pitch and a little more. So much fun! Wasn't the ice just perfect that day? I meant to post a TR but the batteries in my camera were completely dead, and a TR without photos would have been a bit dull. Glad you posted one. Climb on!

Yay, one more ... PM sent!

The Fearless Mitochondria strikes again. Great pics! You and I need to talk. XO - GG.

Maybe. When? On skis?

Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to get on a list. I guess I just crashed Steph's photo show. Well, she didn't seem to mind. I'd like on the other list, Tyson, the one for people who want to climb and not just spray on the internet.

You send me a PM. We chat. I put you on my list of assistants for the summer. That's how.

The Mount Baker Volcano Research Center (MBVRC) is having a tee-shirt design contest. The winner gets 3 free shirts in the spring and possibly a sweatshirt in the fall. All the proceeds from sale of the shirts go into the research fund (so that starving grad students can get extra cash to pay assistants (that could be you) and rent gas masks (and you'd want one) to go play into the fuming parts of the active crater - thank you in advance!) Here's the link: http://mbvrc.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/new-mbvrc-t-shirt-design-contest/ Cheers! Glacier Girl.

Great pics, btw!

Hey Ryan and Khartoum, Did you by chance get a view down to Sherman Crater from where you were? Wondering if: 1)the hole in the glacier is visible yet (close to the southern rim) ) The southern rim has exposed rock (between Pooch peak and Sherman Peak). I'd expect it's too early for this one, but it's been a weird year, so it might. Thanks! GG.

Hey AlexandraOnIce ... Speaking of girls climbing with girls: PM sent.

Hey, I missed your post. I'll be in the computer room Thu-Fri, if you didn't go and still would like to. I can take Sat. Wouldn't mind seeing my crater.

Great TR!! Gorgeous photos. Wish I had been there. Silly mid-week climbs. ;-)

Curse that damn warm wet weather! Side note: I was just up on Baker. You can't even see PanDome, it's coated with wet heavy snow. Let me know if it gets better. I've got my eye on that one for a mid-week escape.

John rattie ... Nope, I am not anywhere near Hood River. Is there ice down there? go_up ... be nice! ;-p

Ah Ah! How do you know I'm the same Glacier Girl who is working on a thesis? Oh - damn - the avatar with the GPR. I just gave myself away, didn't I? ;-) I am actually acquiring skills necessary for my next project. How's that?

Oh ... that's too bad. Tequila Rips sounded pretty good. Especially the balanced kind. I hope to have Ts to R soon, and often. Thanks!

Thanks Bug! What is TR?

Looking for climbing partners for the 16th-17th and beyond. Primary interest is to get more experience on water ice. I'm a beginner but strong and have gear. I live near Baker and within a couple of hours of Lilooet. In exchange (or in addition) I can lead glacier travel up volcanoes and other types of peaks. Also available for skiing, rock climbing and any other types of adventure. (Ideally, would love to find one female partner of equal strength and complementary interests for continued climbing partnership)
