But, in reality, it might be best to just go up and ski some late season powder on the mountains close to town..... the links above will work if the ski conditions suck. The great thing about the mountains up here is that there is often something to do.... but not always! Bring your mountain bike for when the alpine/skiing is no good. I'd be happy to show you around Galbraith, or there are many techy north shore destinations for mtbing

Flora Mountain is another option

Ah..... looks like the Choss Dog Millionaires have left another calling card.

Ah, I knew I had a photo of one of the really old ones:

Summit of Bears Breast:

Interesting....I somehow thought most of these were much older!

I sadly think you are right. There was at least one other version of the old brass ones (than the one already posted)....I will see if I can find it.

And yes, like others, I have often looked up at that wall and wondered. Thanks for surviving to bring back the first report to the internet era!

Don't worry @lunger some hippy pow with JGAP is just a few months away. Just what the doctor ordered.

Anyone else noticing this the past few years? It seems like you used to see some very old registers even on relatively popular peaks. Nowadays, most of the old brass Mountaineers registers are long gone and even the crappy plastic newer ones don't seem to last more than a year or two. I suspect someone with a beef is removing/stealing/tossing them, but does anyone know for sure what is going on? I have to think someone has heard/seen something, but I haven't personally. Maybe I am one of the few that care, but I miss reading the entries from friends who are no longer with us.... Can't wait to see if this gets moved to Spray like the old dayz!

I've always wondered about going in that area but it seemed tedious....thanks for the report! Some beautiful images with that evening light....we have an impressive backyard. For some reason, I have really noticed the lack of seasonal snow in the North Cascades this summer. It is a bit sad compared to what late season looked like in the 90s. But, still a very beautiful neck of the woods.

Immediate "Best of cc.com"!!!! I don't even know how something like this is possible, but I think I can appreciate the drive and fitness that it must take. Well done, and thanks for sharing with us! Ice cream's on me if we ever cross paths!

This might help @emilio taiveaho pelaez: Dana col light show, 2022.

Wow, that is strange. I have to think some sort of AI scrubbing going on?

Another 2 weeks and there would be zero bugs. Bugs die fast in the far north as summer ends in late August. I think that might not have been so aytpical for mid August.

It is a little known fact that Darin develops routes so that he doesn't have to see other people when climbing high quality rock

Wow, quite the adventure!! Did you just plunge in and cross with your footwear or did you make changes for each crossing?

Yeah @Lucas Ng, glad I could inspire the trip! That is one of my favorite places in all of the cascades, so great that you got there! And thanks for the heads up that the trail has been improved....just might need to make another trip in there for Old Guard and the German Helmet.
