Today was the best day of the season! over a foot of fresh powder at stevens. Turned into a blue bird day for the last 2 hours. Usually dont ski the resorts but took my wife and our 7yr old son.

Bummer dude. I summited the same day, but was back to the car by 11:30 am. Check with the lost and found at the lodge. Sometimes stuff gets brought there. Sorry about your loss.

What grade rating would you give it??? I also made the summit of hood on saturday, via the old shoot.

Friggin animals!!!! Climbing with your snowshoes on your back even! Way to get after it!

What do ya say to doing Eldorado peak if weather holds up? Would be a good 2 day climb in winter.

Give me a call, I would love to get out with you. Brandon 206-940-1652

Sorry i had to bail on ya. Looks like it would have been a killer trip. But climbing with the flu is no fun!! Stay in touch and mabey we can get out later this winter. And ..... CONGRATS!!! B-

they might be ed hobbicks he and i had talked and he climbed mailbox last week.

Anyone wants my superfeet they can come get them from me for free. They are the green ones and they hurt my feet soooo bad.

You and branden get your cams back from the tooth? Give me a call im thinking that if weather holds up i would like to to Eldorado peak this week. Brandon 206-940-1652

I would be down for monday. If anyone wants to go. Only if conditions are good. Was down there on monday and it was beautiful bluebird skys. Would have been a sucessful summit but the getting down there was an epic with a flat tire and misc other issues. As it was made it to 10k and bailed. Brandon P.s Major Major how is your leg doing from december on hood?

Your a fuckin retard... I understand that it is a ski area, but the area also see's about 10%-15% climbers. It was 1 in the morning when i found them and the parking lot was empty. So considering the lodge was closed and i was not about to wait till they opened just on the off chance that someone was going to come back to hood after they got home from skiing just for there 70 dollar poles. I took them and figured it for a gift for all the shit i have left behind. Please unless they are yours don't respond.

Found a set of brand new ski poles in the parking lot at the timberline lodge in Oregon. Gonna be a long shot but if they were left by a climber, you identify them and they will be returned to there owner. If not, my wife gets a nice set for snowshoeing!!

Give me a call. 206-940-1652 Brandon

Had an awesome time. Was not supposed to snow like it did. 6-10 inches total all day. Our original plan was Chair peak. But we bailed at the basin due to the conditions. But we had a good time, and i look forward to future ice climbing. I actually pulled a twofer and went snowshoeing with my wife and a friend of hers on sunday! We went up the Pacific Crest trail {North} and went approximately 3 miles in. We started at the Stevens Pass summit. All in all a good weekend out doors. I am hurting and looking forward to getting some good sleep tonight!

what i do know is that my front point jacket is too warm. Worked out nice when i was not climbing and was stopped for a break. But even unzipped at 0 degrees on rainier last year it was too warm to wear while climbing. Definitely made for really cold weather climbing. Just my 2 cents. Ps if feathered friends wont let you borrow one you can borrow mine. Give me a call Dane 206-940-1652 Brandon

Not ignoring this, just been really busy lately. Found out 2 weeks ago that my wife has cancer and we are trying to deal with a ton of Dr. appointments. And surgical dates. Sorry for the inconvenience.\ Brandon

was up there on thursday and did not see them. Sorry for your loss.

Seems to be some good intrest. Pm me your phone numbers so we can chat everyone. Brandon

works for me!

I also would be interested in Hood. Have never been on hood, but from what i gather its a good trip. I have summited rainier twice, and have any gear i would need for a winter assent of rainier or hood. And would be down to go one of these weekends. Give me a call mtn.climber. We can chat. 206-940-1652 Brandon

Other topics could be covered as well if intrested, ie roped travel, self arrest/group arrest, avalanche awarness...

Curious as to who all would be interested in a self put on cravasse rescue, fixed line assention, rope and knots class class on the Nisqually Glacier, or somewhere on baker or elsewhere in mid-late feburary on a weekend. All to often these skills get used and forgotten, or all together never used and never practiced. It could be a good way to learn some new stuff, practice old techniuques and possible teach others who don;t know and want to learn. Never know it could be fun to meet people you don't know and information attained could end up saving your butt someday. If there was enugh intrest i would be able to organize it. Just food for thought. Its about time we started helping eachother out. And hell ya never know it might be fun! Who is interested???

I have the desire, and the time, would love to meet up. Give me a call so we can chat. 206-940-1652 Brandon McNally
