The weather is looking like it will be good this weekend for trying the Pearly gates route. I'm in seattle and going to go sat morning and climb sat night and then come back sun. I went up last year thru the old chute way, and wanna try something different. I have a beenup Rainier, Baker,Adams, st.Helens and tons of other mountains in washington, still am learning but feel its time to try some new stuff. the guys I hike and climb with have been busy latly.
