Hey people not new to climbing by any means, and have had my fair share of " how am I still talking moments never climbing related. At the young age of 39 (now) I fell 70ft no fault of mine or anyone's completely freak accident. I compound fractured my tib fib and barely missed the artery. I am processing the mental part ok, but my big question is. Do any of you saltier old dogs have advice besides the hang in there. Or what helped you get through a similar thing?

Lol DPS nice trip how old were you when you went. Thanks for the great read!

What a great write up, I haven't read anything that entertaining for a few years. As a former Sar responder I appreciate your views on the out doors and you are completely right. Such a great adventure, I hope you two look back and smile about this in 10 years. Keep having fun and climb safe!

Is there any headway on this, I am recovering for the next 4months and would like to help more. I just don't know what else I can do. Located in yelm, and spend a lot of time there normally. Also thanks Olyclimber for the refreshing of the site I have been here a while but in able to recover my own for a year🤦. Thanks so much!

Where are you located? Did you sell everything you posted?

Hey Mark I will take all them off your hands as a stipulation of the ones Climbing related that I want. Would it be ok if I came by Sunday or Monday on my way home? I will be leaving the Wenatchee area one of those days. If that doesn't work I will pass, I live down by Yelm. You can text me when you decide 541-914-4775

Manninjo that is great news, I am hoping for a trip up there this year. Besides getting beta from Wa Ice do you have any you would like to share? Like bring lots of tat or must have 10 stubbies, 70m twins ect. Thanks for anything you are willing to share, If you plan another trip feel free to message me. Thanks Miller

I have been watching conditions for the last few weeks so I decided to give a early season run a chance. We were able to find a little bit up 410 and had a great day Friday temps in the teens and sunshine we enjoyed a easy day to start the season. Saturday we made a trek into the Pickhandle area to check out some high flows I had in mind, It wasn't as wet as I expected but I enjoyed taking lead on these 80 footers and having a great partner to belay. The last 15ft of the bigger flow was not stable enough for me to lead so we did a few runs on the lower 2/3. It was a decent 7-8 hike round trip with the last 1/2 being rough breaking trail in 2-3ft of snow. After 2 days enjoying the area we left to civilization and find another location. Thanks to The Yakima trio Sunday was a nice finish at Vantage for a few pitches. Thanks to Steve, great job on your pitches, the perfect belays and excellent company. The Yakima trio it was great to meet and I look forward to getting out there with you guys! To Joe for the belays and allowing me to introduce you to your first Ice climbs.

Great job guys, glad you were optimistic and went in to give it a shot. Read your post via link excellent write up and description.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it, to the best of my knowledge the Adams permit website doesn't have a cap. In the past 2 years I have never had Issues getting permits, maybe due to the lack of interest. It isn't like St Helens where 500+ people try and go up in 1 day. I have been able to purchase them May 1st, before I knew the difficulties of accesses was on my standard route.
