FOUND: Memorial Day Weekend : 5/25/2013 One MSR stove, with fuel bottle, in a campsite off NF-1305 (Soup Creek Road) outside of Tieton, Washington. Call Leslie at 503.250.1688, let me know the model, describe the campsite and I'll return your stove via mail.

Looking for (a) partner(s) and ride/hotel share for hopefully around a week in Bozeman ice climbing...maybe week of 2/27-3/2 (+ weekend(s)) Partner would need some experience, but I am somewhat new myself (WI3/4) Would like to meet/gym-climb a couple of times before. email if interested: phil(dot)nomad(at)gmail(dot)com

We we weren't sure how much snow was coming in over the weekend. As it turns out, it's good we did - skied out Monday

Approach: Drove (a little sketchy) up to a little past the South end of Kloochman, dropped gear, drove back down, hiked up light and camped in the woods around 609. only climbed the bottom pitch of Dropline - got soaked from above.

Strobach Motherload from Sunday 1/15 lots of variation in the ice: soggy, aerated, "poppy"(layered) and plastic - temps were in the upper teens https://picasaweb.google.com/phil.nomad/StrobachJan152012?authuser=0&feat=directlink (sorry, I don't know how to post pictures)
