Oh, thats great! I'm glad you got to use it. The space was a little cozy for 4, but we were happy and warm. I think we started digging around 1pm and finished just before 4.

After the wind destroyed our tent, we were forced to dig in at illumination saddle. It's a nice cave. I hope some other folks can get use out of it.

[TR] MountShuksan - Sulfide Glacier - Day Hike 7/23/2011
Adam W replied to Adam W's topic in North Cascades
It's really hard to judge what the snow will be like next weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if the upper gully is still filled with hard icy snow. You might have to end on the SE rib like we did. If you have novices with you, I would suggest bringing some cams and several very long slings. We rappelled of the old slings in place but I wouldn't really suggest it. Good Luck! Also, a 60 meter rope is probably ideal. Our 30 was a bit short. -
Trip: Mount Shuksan - Sulfide Glacier - Day Hike Date: 7/23/2011 Trip Report: [video:youtube]aBMDIjzcz48 Matt Colleen and I climbed Shuksan on Saturday starting at 1:35 am. We traversed along the west side of the glacier to avoid the necessity of roping up. At 8:00 am we found that the upper half of the scramble on the pyramid was too icy to ascend without ice tools so we followed the southeast rib the rest of the way to the summit. Our round trip-time was just under 16 hours. If you want details go here.

That's correct. I've been thinking about joining CC for a few years now. Today I finally did it so I thought I would start with a few old TR's and some new ones too.

Trip: Eldorado - day hike - Standard Date: 3/5/2011 Trip Report: It's a long day with snowshoes but well worth the effort. In most cases, the knife-edge is wider during the winter. I know links to other sites suck, but here is the full story.

Trip: Mount Olympus - Blue Glacier / North Ridge Date: 7/4/2011 Trip Report: [video:vimeo]26183525 The rangers informed us that we were only the second group to make the summit this year. We climbed the "4th of July" route on the fifth of July. Ha!

Trip: Bonanza Peak - Mary Green Glacier Date: 7/11/2011 Trip Report: [video:youtube]fQPL8VnkkUQ The snow conditions made the standard route sketch, forcing us onto harder mixed climbing. We did about 9 pitches on the way up and 12 rappels to get back down. My helmet saved my life on this trip. Photos coming later tonight, if I feel like it.

Trip: Tomyhoi - Standard Date: 10/17/2010 Trip Report: [video:youtube]UEfQ1esLHmw I'm new to this site, but I thought I should share some of my climbing videos and whatnot. Tomyhoi took me 3 attempts and taught me to do better research before just going for it. I was successful on October 17, 2010.

Trip: Aconcagua - Standard Date: 1/20/2011 Trip Report: [video:youtube]qKVNLvMDa24 We spent 10 days on the mountain. Our unguided party of three bypassed all camps except Mulas and Nido. Very cold and windy. Read the full story if you want.
