What a heartbreak! All that way to be engulfed in the mists on summit day. It is worth a return when the pain subsides....

Wow, those accounts by Mr. Davis were great!

A great and helpful report! Love that old mining wash basin....

DAMN!!!

Grades don't apply to J'Berg!

Who knew E-bikes could be a game-changer in the mountains? I didn't see that coming! Another excellent TR from that area @dberdinka, thanks for putting another on our lists!

I really liked that route, but almost didn't survive to start it. When @therunningdog and I were gearing up after getting off the glacier, a few car sized chunks broke out of the icefall and obliterated our tracks leading up the glacier. We missed getting the chop by about 10 mins. And I didn't even register any icefall hazard on the approach!

And we appreciate the TRs! I am woefully behind on putting stuff up from my meager adventures this summer. I guess that is what November is for.....

You're on a tear this summer!

No way! Follow the normal route up the NF Sauk to the south side of the mountain.

Been meaning to do this loop....thanks for the reminder! Frostbite ridge is a fantastic climb and it has been 17 years since I last visited, so probably time to do it again!

Oh man, that is awesome! I can't add anything to your calculations, other than to let you know I'm jealous. I've got 20+ years of the grind to go.

You're talking to someone who thought it was a good idea to climb the Price Gl. @DPS is old school.

No, I climbed the EFD 10 years ago. Can't believe it has been that long. And Mix-up probably 17 years ago now....Yikes. Been doing this for too long!

I think 95? I am so far behind on TRs this summer.....but the rains of November will fix that! I won't finish this summer. Too many other compelling things to do.

Grim indeed @Off_White, thanks for the story!

Oh yeah! Those bivy photos almost make me want to go back. Almost.

That mountain doesn't mess around. My partner pulled off a hold and took a long fall, severely injuring his ribs. It took us many hours to come out the second day, limping along, followed by a trip to the ER. Glad you escaped unscathed, at least physically!

Thanks for the reminder! This fall I will need to sample these routes. I mean it!

Yeah @Matt_Alford! And I hope that wasn't your heel. Ouch. One word: Leukotape. Interesting how that traverse is getting a lot of attention this year. I remember thinking I was WAY off the beaten path on the North side of Primus as we came down to camp from Tricouni a few years back. Good thing nobody came by to ruin my impressions.

It wasn't long ago that 3 parties in 2 years would have been crazy!

A spurned proposal?

Nice! That is a lot to do in a day! But no photos of the mess to get on the toe? What, were you hurrying or something?

Actually, it was the regular East face route, which goes thru the "U gap" labeled on Page 183 of Brown CAG: http://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13198907302/Fall-on-Rock-Inadequate-Belay-Washington-Cascade-Mountains Is this the route that @JonParker climbed in this TR?

(I cleaned up the duplicates of this TR, in case anyone is wondering) NICE WORK!
