Onward!!

True story- I turned around a couple of dudes who were descending to Shield Lake on this trip! "Wait, this trail doesn't go to Snow Creek?" I have no idea where they would have ended up if they didn't run into me. I was literally the only person in that valley, that day. It also makes zero sense that they turned up and over Prusik pass while hiking around Perfection Lake. But hey, at least people have been screwing up like this for decades.

It just doesn't feel right to be positive, after all these years. There were a ton of people hiking into the Enchantments that Saturday, but at least they were all getting their beta from Tik-Tok.

“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." -Ernest Hemingway Is there a bullfighting chapter in your book @CascadeClimber?

Kulshan a few days ago:

Well, this sucks.

No, the snow was too good to bother with anything other than laps! But we brought them JIC we wanted to go up Coleman Pinnacle.

No sun on the pow, so I didn't take pics (I'm a light snob at this point), but I did take this up on the ridge Sunday:

In general I think the TR function works pretty darn well. That said... here are some things batted around over the years: - Go into the TR database and fix ones that don't search or render properly? I forget the issues exactly, but I remember something about this. -A mapping feature? -fix photo links on esp. cool reports? I know you did that for some of Dan's

Forecast looks sweet!

I'm thankful for all you misfits and our crazy backyard. Looking forward to many more years of adventures and shenanigans with this site! Tyler on the way to West Fury. Crooked Thumb and Challenger provide a watchful eye.

Looks like a beautiful summit! I may go in more forgiving conditions, however.

I have it on my calendar and will do my best to be there for the restart! I never actually went to a Pub Club back in the day....will be my first!

We need the original @CascadeClimber there!

Thanks @Kyle M! Spreading the word is great. The numbers @olyclimber quotes seem quite reasonable (to me) given the value of the content here. I hope others agree!

I just donated via the desktop and PP account, worked great! And yes to getting to know people!

ooooooohhhhh, membership has benefits??!!

Amen! This is amazing. I love that cc.com is going to get a taste of the VC life!

I'll try!!

For all the entertainment and beta contained here, this seems like a bargain!

Here's to the next 20 years @olyclimber, thanks for taking this on!! We will want to have it front and center so people can't escape the reality that if they don't support it will go away.

These aren't the larches you are looking for.

Same with me (OK, maybe 15-25 years ago)! I was struck by just how awesome it is up there still (esp. when you go a very short distance off the trail). I'm fired up now for a few more routes that I've neglected due to fear of the scene.... I think if you can avoid going up or down Asgaard on Saturday it is totally workable (provided you score a permit).

From what I gathered from the folks we ran into, it is now TikTok! Like people are showing up with nothing but a TikTok video as beta. Pretty wild. I saw someone at the top of Asgaard that didn't even have a backpack, nor a running vest. Just shorts and tee shirt, walking with friends that had very small school backpacks. Not hard to imagine needing to depend on the kindness of strangers for something as simple as turning an ankle. The good news (for them) was that there were several hundred strangers close by!
