Yes, climb it in the early spring.

I remember once on the the upper town walls a couple were climbing Swim and the dude yelled "take" and the chick heard "slack". The resulting whipper was pretty cool to watch.

I got a good look at the route from Colchuck. It looked pretty dry from my vantage point.

Hey monkeyboy,

Is this guy for real?? "Slow is safe"?? And use webbing b/c it's static and exerts the least force on your tools? Good lord, - where the hell did he learn this stuff?
Don't listen to that guy in the 2nd video marit, he's full of crap. At least according to everything I've been taught, and read in Accidents in North American Mountaineering.
Uhhhh, it was a joke.

Yes. You will have some fun roofs to jug over.is it possible to fix the first 3 pitches w/ 2 60 m ropes? -
I really was looking for the underside of a foot to help me out. Grammer nazi....
That's Grammar Nazi.

I was thinking of running the Melakwa-Pratt lake loop this weekend if it is relatively snow free. Has anyone been up that way? How much snow is left?
-
That's a good looking couple.

"Bitch" would be one of the nicer things I said about her.
Classy!

Readers should be aware that names and situations were changed and altered throughout the book. One example is the situation referenced by Mankato - i.e. the conversation on the glacier about knowing the deceased climber and then subesquently saying "good riddance... etc". That simply did not happen.
Just out of curiousity, how do you know that event did not happen?
-
I got the feeling from reading the book that she was ashamed of making the statement about the deceased young man. I think it shows a lot of honesty that she portrays herself in such a negative light.
Also, can we stop with referring to the author as a bitch? I know some of you folks and you are better than that.

I looked down SGC from the West Ridge notch on 5/30/2009. The route looked good and well filled in. A bit of ice showed at the constriction.
-
Nice work and awesome photos!
-
Did anybody get a good look at Ptarmigan Ridge recently? Curious how it looks/ how much exposed ice there is.
TIA,
Dan

Send it back to Mountain Hardwear and they will replace it for free.

I just did W Ridge of Stuart (5/30/2009) and descended Cascadian Coulior. KKK is spot on with the approach conditions, the couloir itself is filled in with snow almost entirely. Ingalls creek trail has melted out mostly.

Found gear on the West Ridge of Stuart. Identify to claim. bighurtbob@hotmail.com

Icicle Canyon in Leanworth has a number of top rope-able crags close to the road including Bruce's Boulder, Rotowall, Barney's Rubble, Clamshell Crag. Mt Erie may have some top rope crags as well.

That's nice, but what is it?
-
Partner found.

Shasta was an absolute goat rodeo of epic proportions.

How about a Black Diamond Betamid? The lightweight version weighs about a pound and a half, has a lot of room for two people plus gear, is storm worthy, and cheap. I own two other tents, an Integral Designs MK1 Lite and a Mt Hardwear Annapurna. I use the Betamid 95% of the time.
