  1. "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. :)

  2. 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!

    go fund me

  3. 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.

  4. 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!
