  1. Oh man....so sorry to hear this. Condolences to his friends and family, I wish that I had met Daniel.
  2. Good eye @dberdinka! At home, with careful looking, that really jumped out at me. These glacier have thinned dramatically in the last 19 years, as well as retreated. You may not be wrong about them evaporating one day in the not too distant future.
  3. At first I didn't notice the bike in the photo and thought you were referring to the pace he set @olyclimber
  4. Feel free to post other examples from the Cascades if you have them!
  5. I got back from a repeat of the Ptarmigan after 19 years and it is pretty amazing the glacial recession in that time (2003 was a lean snow year and 2022 phat as well). Here are a couple examples: LeConte in 2003: LeConte in 2022: Chickamin Glacier in 2003: Chickamin Gl in 2022:
  6. Everything is so phat in that Roper photo! I imagine that was during high summer? My how the glaciers continue to shrink.
  7. Start to finish, completely rad. So much stoke, so much youth! Love to see the next generation at the height of their "storm years"!!
  8. This is one of my favorite routes in the range, but I haven't been back since the road washed out in 2003. Need to change that! But over 4 days for this old guy.... Great report, thanks! Oh, and for future parties, you can avoid the dangerous bit on the Kennedy by going around the north side of Kennedy peak. A bit longer, but quite mellow and scenic- that's how we went.
  9. Looks like a nice and tasty weekend! Love the links to the trips on your memory lane!
  10. Whoah, after all that build up over the years, I thought it was going to be 10+. Way to slay the beast and bring back a report to the timid masses! Truly an incredible spire!!!!
  11. That's a sweet bike! I really like the combo of steel frame/carbon fork, sounds like your bike rides similar but is way lighter! Since we're trading bike pics, here's mine:
  12. Crazy!!! I had no idea they made Ti frames! But I am really not much of a bike nerd.
  13. I just use my Jamis Renegade to ride around town and to work, mostly to stay fit.. Maybe the occasional gravel approach road. But they are a sweet style of bike! What did you get @olyclimber?
  14. It has been so long since I've been in that area (more than 20 years) that I need to go back! I hardly remember how good the views are! Thanks for the report...
  15. Such a fantastic route, thanks for the great report!
  16. Yes, Jacob's Ladder is definitely not a "classic" in the classic sense. And for us, the mystery of the unknown was quite enticing, and for sure clouded our view of the route. But glad that it was a good diversion nonetheless!
  17. I've never even heard of this range....looks great!
  18. Looks like a great outing! And yes, in full sun and no wind, those alpine trout are spooooooooky!
  19. That is a mega trip, solo, and slightly injured! Thanks for the report and glad it all went safely. What did you think of Jacob's Ladder? I'm always interested to hear non-biased opinions!
