"Please ensure both ropes are through your device and always sit your raps before removing yourself from the anchor." I am adamant about this and have been surprised when many folks I've climbed with were not accustomed to this double check. It only takes a moment folks. Safe climbing and descending mountain friends and family.

Mark - I've taken the liberty of establishing a go fund me campaign in an effort to raise funds as you have laid out here and as we have discussed privately. I've cross posted to as many avenues as I have at my disposal and would encourage others who derive pleasure from the area to do likewise. We couldn't have a more capable person out there assessing or performing this work than Mark. He and the others I have met that share a love for this valley and Darrington as a whole are some of the most diverse and inspiring folks I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. This is a modest sum of money for the value of the terrain accessed by this road. So, do what you can. Thanks! Tyson geBauer go fund me

Totally God forbid one uses the wrong nomenclature. It makes you a thief.

Yep, great name for you Gene. Hell of a nice guy, in my circle you'll always be Gene, Gene the climbing machine.

Darin, you are my new hero.

Gawd, what a bummer......

Right on!

Three + years later, I finally made the trek up and what a trek it is. The climbing is sweet, steep, varied and fun. The bivy is super sweet, particularly after the effort of schlepping those loads up there. I can't believe I am typing this but I will definitely go back again. Once my legs stop being sore.

Nice jaunt!

No joke! I'll send a PM a bit later.

So here's a shot in the dark but I'm traveling to Vermont for a week the last part of this month and I'd love an opportunity to get a day of cragging in. I know this is Cascade Climbers but I'm hoping somebody knows somebody or something?

Nice one Curt! I totally agree about this climb. I really liked the split pillar pitch.

^ ditto

Nicely done and sweet detailing of the approach. Way to go gents!

Found wallet - if you are or know Nate Redon please contact me so I can return this. Thanks! Tyson

I actually recognize the fellow on viewers right, I'll pass on the info this evening.

I would contact a green builder and or the manufacturer and ask for a sample.

IMHO carrying a small piece of air sealing tape, I.E. Sigatape or 3m is a much more reliable option for repairs on anything like a Thermarest or a platypus than duct tape....by light years. These products are amazing and the repair is flexible, instant and permanent. I would not however recommend putting these products on anything you don't want them on forever!

You can opt out. iPhone : Settings - notifications - government alerts - move the slider to off. Viola! Android: Pretty much the same

word Just over a year since he passed..... That man is missed greatly, by many. Thanks for the laughs and memories friend.

Nice

way to go you two. That down shot of Sherpa glacier is amazing.

Wow has it really been 4 years since that gold?

I like to clip fixed pieces and then say.... Be sure to get that (insert piece here)..... Then belittle them at the belay
