  1. I will advise on what not to do!
  2. Thanks for the reminder to return!
  3. So amazing!!! I'm glad you made it out OK, fingers doing well?
  4. Ain't that the truth! My experience at ONP definitely jives with yours. Best of the bunch (on average), by far. Some of the ranger interaction stories I have personally collected over the years from the other two parks boggle the mind. I mean I understand that they work with the public and all, but..... ONP shows that you can thread that needle with the right leadership!
  5. Forecast: https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/ Current conditions, including Marblemount and Newhalem: https://aqicn.org/map/washington/ Beware the Pincer fire if you are headed to Boston Basin, it makes for a long walk (road closed MP 16): https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7797/
  6. The Dynamic Duo returns yet again to harvest from the orchard! Thanks for sharing the meal- we all look forward to the next installment! And, I must say, an exit down the Baker River??!! That conveys the apparent seriousness of what that plume must have looked like.....to one of you.
  7. Oops. Hopefully this year? Need to get out there with you @curtveld and we can get Casey and @Trent to come along as well!
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. Good question.....I don't know @Otto. But I bet @olyclimber or @jon does!
  11. My personal favorite MA TR on this site:
  12. 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.
  13. Well done! Glad the report could be of use.... That is a proud and interesting traverse.
  14. 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!
  15. 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....
  16. Yeah, I probably should move on at some point as well, but I'm still deluding myself!
  17. Thanks for letting me know the approximate value! I have them all from 0 to the current issue....
  18. 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.
  19. Wow, @jwalseth weighs in on this! So great!
  20. 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.

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