    Nice! Link to my report below - cool to see the conditions change throughout the season. https://spokalpine.com/2025/07/21/dakobed-glacier-peak-frostbite-ridge-ii-ai2/

    Nice work. I had a similar experience on the Forbidden Glacier - very marginal in approach shoes. If I did this route again, I'd go early season and/or wear boots.

    Thank you! I worked hard on this one.

    Thanks for JasonG for the great overview photo! This route has been on my list for a while. The quality is so-so, and it's kind of dangerous with all the loose rock, but it sure was a grand adventure. https://spokalpine.com/2025/07/30/eldorado-peak-west-arete-iv-5-8/

    Absolutely fantastic trip report and photos. I'm hoping to visit the Gunsight range later this summer. I noticed that you mention that you found two climbers who "wanted to check out the Gunsight range using a rope team larger than 2 for the Chikamin." Is the Chikamin particularly broken up? I was planning on just one partner but maybe I'm missing something.

    Great effort and thanks for the beta! I was really stoked to try the N Buttress of Terror this season but those approach conditions are atrocious. Hmmm.

    I checked out the East Ridge of Dorado Needle. For choss dogs like me, it was kind of fun and definitely a good way to spend a day on a multi-day mission in that area. Full report and photos here: https://spokalpine.com/2025/07/07/dorado-needle-east-ridge-iii-5-7/

    Some notes and photos from our attempt to 12,400'. Definitely not a good year for it, that couloir descent was pretty scary with all the rockfall. https://spokalpine.com/2025/07/03/rainier-sunset-ridge-attempt/

    Nice work!

    Great work! I'd really like to do this one. I've been to that basin twice and that shwacky section in the woods is very hard to navigate. Enough so that I took detailed notes each time and made a GPX track for myself. How was the climbing on route?
  12. Nick Sweeney
    Proud! Nice work man. Love to see that the persistence paid off!

    Nice moves Troy. Glad you had a good adventure and didn't get hurt in that fall! Scary stuff. Gotta love the Twight-esque writing style. It takes a certain kind of climb to put a climber in the mood to write like that.

    Totally wild! Great work guys.

    Nice one! You know how to get after it.
