[TR] Forbidden Peak Winter Ascent - West Ridge 01/23/2022
kukuzka1 replied to Eric Gilbertson's topic in North Cascades
My brother and I got to below Boston basin in Jan 05? to attempt the FWA of the N ridge but unfortunately I had become sick. It was a during a major winter storm, but it did clear up for 5 bluebird days after... It would have been perfect conditions. We had to ski only about 2-3 miles of the forest road. to get to trail head. I also twice tried to solo east ridge of J-burg but did not summit. Is a spectacular area in winter. Great job! -
Cool. Last photo is awesome! Little varmint. I rope soloed it in 93, although after the 1st pitch came to broad ledge. After looking at the crest I walked around right for 15-20+ft and self belayed a pretty solid pitch that deposited me on the large slabby rock. (5.8+ finish with a wideish crack). I thought the ridge crest seemed brittle with little protection that I could see? Finished it with rope in pack.

[TR] Snoqualmie Mountain - [FA] The Snostril and Post Nasal Drip 01/29/2021
kukuzka1 replied to Doug_Hutchinson's topic in Alpine Lakes
Not exactly a hardman or in the 80's or in a assisted care facility yet but almost! good job finishing the crux pitch, I had twice tried to lead it and had to leave it, although I did top rope it. It's definitely some spicy climbing. I'm surprised you didn't see any of my gear I left(probably buried) although I liked the name I gave it a little better sorry about the huge photos, not sure what happened. -

[TR] Storm King Mountain (8515’) - North Ridge Route 09/05/2020
kukuzka1 replied to Kuato's topic in North Cascades
That sexy photo of Goode shows the Beckey route(NE face?) It looks like it had a major rock collapse above the ice part, unless that's normal for how it looks in early Oct? looks kind of snarly, or the route could be a little left of that. -
[TR] Sherpa Peak North Ridge - North Ridge Variation 06/13/2020
kukuzka1 replied to firebeard's topic in Alpine Lakes
I loved this route, even if it was done in a major summer storm and we were benighted. Felt more like 5.9 to me although like with any route such as this many little variations are possible. Someone needs to snatch the FWA. Be a nice prize -

Looks like Smoot's to blame. People love lists did not read earlier comments so nevermind -
