temps ended up higher than forecast, so we bailed on Jeff and did some other shit n stead..... Thus still looking for a good window for Jeff. Will need to be cold. That ridge is covered in old mushy rime... Hopefully some rain and cold temps this weekend pack things down a bunch.. Then if we get some cold/clear weather before it warms up for good, it'll be perfect I'm kinda married to weekdays only, sorry..

Most direct and easiest way to the top is the Pearly Gates at the moment. Of the two chutes around the central rock, the left chute is the easier, and that'll be obvious when you get there. The whole route, as of two weeks ago, is a maximum slope angle of 35*... easiest I've ever seen it. Or you can take the right chute for a more legit climbing experience, and do varying 50-65* for 75' or so Will probably be hard snow - has been warm, but it's gonna be cold for the next few days.

Bump.. and bump this out one day. Wanna climb weds morning now, and pretty much car-to-car it, since I'm gonna be busy till pretty late Tues evening.

Id guess the rangers probably dont generally roll through till the middle of the ski day, since thats were 95% of their ticket revenue is gonna come from at t-line. Climbers are probably usually long gone by then. my bro got a ticket last time he and i climbed Hood proper.. And ive come back to my truck to see several cars around it with tickets under their wipers. So definitely happens

Wanna scamper up jeff park und the knifish ridge on tuesday morn Can go up mon night and bivy on the morain at 7400, or just car-to-car it. Gonna be nice and cold, route should be pretty primo Ive climbed it before, but in mostly bare condition We'll either descend the route or milk creek - NO white water bullshit... -B Five oh tree tree two seben fore too four for Or email Benjaminbeckerich at gmail

Course.. no need to worry again till November - no pass required after April.

They do write tickets.... flip the coin, guess whether you'll get one? The AM/PM in Sandy sells parking passes for like $5 or $6, and is open 24 hours, if you're not getting to the lodge during normal business hours

Granpappy... what is spray?

Yellow line is my guestimation of my crack location Whether it's pre-glacial snowpack sliding or actual glacial crack - either way, stay the hell away from it.

Punched through this yesterday at about 8850', maybe 50m west of the convex between Palmer and White River glaciers... lateral crack.. don't know how deep, but definitely deep and wide enough to swallow me up, if my hips/pack/one leg hadn't snagged me at the surface After extracting myself, I noted the depression runs at least 50' upslope, with very faint cracks visible here and there. In a week, it'll probably visible enough to stay the fuck away from it, but if we get any more snow it'll cover up again so stay the hell away from ye ol' White River. I didn't think I was anywhere near where cracks usually open up, or I wouldn't have been there.. solo.

No Sportiva.. they all crush my little toe knuckle

Scarpa 42 Good condition Lightweight climbing boot Dis b wut I wan -B

Need some altitude... gonna do an easy jaunt up Hood south side tomorrow. Leave the lot around 4, summit around 8, eat and probably nap on the summit, cruise back down. Wouldn't mind company.. five oh three three two seven four two four four - texts are less awkward than phone calls but faster than PMs/emails -Ben

There's a set of Aztars up on the Zigzag glacier.. I'll give you coordinates for $100

I can ride my bike drunk... do it often enough Running, though... just feels like it would feel crappy All that foam bouncing around in the tum tum? And 17 miles of running... f'n a, man. I could probably do 17. Minutes.

Not because of my potty mouth

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1634057?hl=en Fucken enlighten yourself - this shit is known, bro. It's not new. It's not arcane. Oly has absolutely no control over what stupid shit shows up on your stupid ass computer due to your own stupid ass browsing habits. All those piss-pants anti-gun articles you read? Might have something to do with it. "Gun" is still "gun," google probably doesn't give a shit if it loosens your bowls or gets your dick hard - they just recognize your interest. I'm willing to bet, however, it has a lot more to do with the SPORTING factor - outdoor enthusiasts.... climbers, hunters, fishermen. Can you believe it?? They're all outdoor sports.

No - I'm not. Doesn't have shit to do with it.

You're a fuckin idiot. Your own search and viewing history dictates what ads you see.

Where located?

Cordillera Blanca this year gon b DOPE

You're going to pay for my climbing trip, though.. because I'm a disabled vet on welfare, section 8, and foo'stamps. Sry bru

Jeez... just not a whole hell of a lot of recent climbing up there. Routes too easy? steep snow and ridge scrambles aren't exciting enough anymore?

He was as strong as an ox! Manchurian fucks obviously offed him.

im fuckin serious
