    Oops. Hopefully this year? Need to get out there with you @curtveld and we can get Casey and @Trent to come along as well!
  2. JasonG
    Yeah.....there are definitely issues with the homepage.... @jon and @olyclimber have been notified, but I think only @jon can provide the final solution. Sorry! In the meantime, just bookmark the forum main page and skip past home please.

    I'm with @bedellympian- zero routes on the volcanoes are a good idea in mid-September, esp. this year. Most glaciated routes, even on lower peaks, won't be great either. That said, Eldorado and the Sulphide on Shuksan might fit the glaciated bill for you (and be in not dangerous shape). Or scramble something like Mt. Stuart for the big mountain feel?

    Good question.....I don't know @Otto. But I bet @olyclimber or @jon does!

    My personal favorite MA TR on this site:

    I plan to see it on the big screen! MA was big inspiration to me over the years, even though I never met him in person. Although the film is probably something he would've probably cringed at seeing, I am glad that we can all get a better sense of who he was as a person and climber.

    Well done! Glad the report could be of use.... That is a proud and interesting traverse.

    Another @seano-sighting! @therunningdog and I saw him a couple weeks ago on Forbidden. He gets around! And good work on WHC- I bet Silas and @John_Roper are proud that that this route is getting more attention. It's an excellent one!

    Yikes! Glad you made it out safe. That could have ended.....uh....poorly. Monte Cristo is a rugged peak! Though I seem to remember the north side from the U-notch wasn't too bad....

    Yeah, I probably should move on at some point as well, but I'm still deluding myself!

    Thanks for letting me know the approximate value! I have them all from 0 to the current issue....

    @Priti and Jeff??!!

    Yep, one of those parties (I think) was a friend of mine and his girlfriend. They reported no issues (except a few close bear encounters) and had a great climb.

    Wow, @jwalseth weighs in on this! So great!

    A lot of them have been stolen or thrown off the mountains over the years. I'd say a good proportion of the prominent summits had them in the 80's and 90's, but many have since disappeared. It is a shame. For a lot of those summits there was a good deal of history in the old registers, sometimes going back to the FA! Alpinist did a good story on the Mountaineers summit registers awhile back, but it isn't available online.

    That is a steep slope to learn french technique with a broken hand @olyclimber!!!
  18. JasonG
    That is super impressive @ryaneames! Both on your and your dad's parts!! Wow.

    Yep, there are forums for the sub-areas of the Cascades. No problem, I moved it here!

    Do you mean the peaks in Oregon @wingclimber? If so, I will move the thread.....

    Luna and Terror Basin XC zones regularly fill up on weekends now! This is a big change from even 5 years ago.

    You put in for the lottery at the end of March each year. Shhhhhh. It used to be poorly known, but I heard this year they got 5k applications. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

    Wow, I didn't realize that Whitehorse had become crowded-good to know! I have a couple vivid memories of that final slope below the summit. Back in the 90's I decided that it was a good idea to leap off the summit into a sitting glissade down it. By the time I realized that this was a very bad idea, I was going so fast that stopping was not an option! Thankfully, I skipped my way to the flats in control, without impaling myself. Then, some years later, I snowboarded it in too firm conditions. Same story- by the time I realized I made a mistake, there was no stopping. Again, thankfully, I managed to stay upright and in control for some sketchy turns down to the flats. It takes me awhile to learn from my mistakes.

    Jack. . Well done, and with your son, no less! That is still on my list for later this summer, but we'll see.
