  1. Yeah, seems like his suggestion of trail work and re-vegetation, coupled with a public apology would be enough. Still, I get the importance of making an example of someone so people take things seriously. Still, seems like there are much worse things they could go after.
  2. https://www.timberlinelodge.com/conditions#webcams I think it will be fine with an early start and the cooler temps forecast later this week... if they materialize.
  3. Agreed, but in this case I suspect an editor who lives out of state and doesn't care or know anything about Bellingham?
  4. It's not local journalism when a rando in Phoenix gets tossed a few bucks to write up something they have absolutely no clue about.
  5. Full disclosure: I have not been on Luna or done the traverse to East Fury. However, based on other experiences in the Pickets, my first thought is that as snow cover melts away and choss/scree is exposed the ridge becomes a more appealing option. But that could be off-base.
  6. You didn't go into her bedroom and ask her to dry them for you at midnight? 😂 JK Hope you made it up to her? If not maybe consider rope gunning up Hard Mox on the next rainy weekend! 😂 Sorry, can't help myself. Glad you got out Lucas!
  7. Looks fun but won't work for me this year. To clarify some things in the hopes of attracting some partners for you... looks like multiple pitches up to mid-5th but nothing harder if I'm reading this right? Grades are UIAA? Over 7k' of vert from just below 10k' to 17k' summit? Honestly sounds like a rad adventure.
  8. Trip: North Sister - Thayer HW Trip Date: 05/18/2025 Trip Report: Went out to North Sister on Sunday 5/18 to have a look-see in mediocre weather. I was excited to see some ice hanging on and forming up from this past week of weather. I played on it a bit but most was sun rotten and delaminating. It will all be gone quick once the sun comes back out. Skiing conditions were pretty terrible due to wind packed pow over old frozen sun crust and wet slide debris and some rock sharks too. Though I did talk to two splitboarders who went over to the SW side of the peak and found consistent wind-packed powder in a bowl. Here's some pictures... Thayer HW area Cool little pillar... bigger than it looks and solid but the top out was pretty terrible. Second pitch above the pillar... gross delaminating ice... downclimbed and did some gross scrambling up snow covered choss to the L Looking down on the Thayer Cirque from near where I was able to traverse to the main gully and descend. Storm cell over Broken Top on the hike back to the car. Gear Notes: Sneakers for the approach, skis kinda pointless in the conditions I found, tools and pons for ice, bringing a rap cord to escape via bollard would have been smart. Approach Notes: Pole Creek TH
