  1. What are your concerns, specifically @aikidjoe? I work for an area Tribe, and often with the MBSNF, and have participated in a few of these thinning projects over the years (all in the Stillaguamish). On the ground that I am super familiar with, the proposed treatments all made sense and were needed due to the legacy forestry impacts from the post-war era. But....happy to hear your perspective on the latest proposal!
  2. North Cascades shenanigans, celebrating that the site is NOT DEAD YET!
  3. There have got to be some established web developer types that are climbers and could take something like this on? Would the Access Fund or Mountaineers help with incorporating into a non-profit? Or maybe an attorney like @mattp? We appreciate your vision @olyclimber, way to remain steadfast in the midst of the storm!
  4. WELL DONE Porter!!! You deserve all the beer!
  5. Hey @Dane, if Daniel Smith ( @Albert_Pynstardt) doesn't respond here, maybe try pinging him. He's been in that area for awhile now and I bet knows!
  6. That's great Dave! Keep the photos and stories coming....
  7. Colfax or Lincoln may be in shape depending on the winter/road access but that won't become clear until you are pretty close. Mostly people ski in the Twin Sisters at that time but I am sure you could scratch your way up something! If you know someone with a gate key, that could greatly simplify the approach.
  8. The Chinese side of the Tien Shan looks pretty rad, maybe another option if you weren't afraid of being sneaky?: https://www.climbing.com/news/interview-dmitry-golovchenko-new-route-china-tien-shan/?scope=initial
  9. Baffin? Or is that too rock oriented? The Alps? Or is that too civilized? Seems like Pakistan is often a lot of hit or miss with weather/conditions? Seems like Cordillera Blanca has gotten hit really hard by climate change? Seems like the snow/ice oriented routes in Canada have been hit pretty hard by climate change the past decade or so? I am too much of an armchair climber to be of much use unfortunately....
  10. Such great detail @Dave 1970, thanks for the stories! Your path to climbing is very similar to mine, which started for me in the early 1990s. I acquired the skills (and gear) I needed as the summits got higher, harder, and more complex. I remember the smell of the old REI, thanks for the reminder! I worked in the "new" REI in 1997 and 1998 and got nearly all my early gear there (and Swallow's Nest). Keep the stories coming as you remember them!
  11. YES! Post up some TRs from whatever Truckers adventures you remember!!
  12. So great!! Thank you @AAI!
  13. This is amazing history @Dave 1970! I never would have thought that register would yield such rich memories....please post some photos and stories from those trips if you have any!! I would love to see what a 1970's mother trucker looks like!
  14. I WILL fight you, just so I can listen to Live instead of Counting Crows. The angel opens her eyes!
