I remember when the Boat Launch wall was retrobolted in the early 90's, replacing the old 1/4" bolts with 3/8" bolts. Were additional bolts added or the 25+ year old bolts replaced?

You and Liz Lemon.

Is that a 30 Rock reference? I just finished binge watching the entire 7 seasons before I go back to work.

I think I saw this guy walking down the Apron 30 feet to the right of Banana Peel.

I used to bus commute across the I-90 bridge and every time my wrists would hurt while in the Mt. Baker tunnel. Turns out I had a case of carpool tunnel syndrome.

That is a MONGO trip report. I feel like I climbed the route now. Nice work on the climb and thanks for keeping us arm chair alpinists entertained!

Now that you mention it I don't recall seeing many, if any, deer in the high country.

I'll never give up my hexes, but I have some Tricams that I would be happy to unload. I have pink, red, and brown available. I've carried them a few times but only placed each one maybe once or twice. The slings are in good shape and they have been stored in a sealed plastic bin. Email daniel-p-smith@hotmail.com if interested.

Flipping channels the other day and caught a really bad movie set in an exotic mountain range with what was clearly Mt. Shuksan in the background.

Hah, I see the Fish duffle bag I sold to mthorman a few years ago! Nice to see its return to Alaska!

I agree with the above comments, the section below the false summit is steep and a fall would be bad, so here is a thought. Go late season (August - September) after the snow has melted out. Rather than take the Cascadian Couloir, hike past the turn off and continue east on the Ingalls Creek trail and take a path that climbs the ridge between the Cascade Couloir and Sherpa Basin. The trail is much better than CC. You can cut back west once above the the nasty scree and sand in a decent talus field below the false summit.

I was running up Mt. Si once and saw guy with a plastic lawn chair strapped to his back with ~9 y.o. kid sitting in it.

You missed the sit start from the Ruth Glacier.

Totally agree.
