Does anybody know how much snow is at Ingall's Lake? Will I need boots or will approach shoes suffice for going to Ingall's Peaks?

I took an old, non functioning XGK in to be reapaired at MSR. The dude behind the counter hands over a BRAND NEW stove. Charge: $20.00.

Hi Rick, Thanks for the resonse. I am still looking for a partner. Do you live in the Seattle area? I was thinking of a half day climb at snoqualmie pass or if the weather is bad making the trek over to Ingalls Peak or something. Email me at bighurtbob@hotmail.com if you are interested. Dan

That is actually with out a doubt quite true. African American males were purposefully infected with syphilis to study the disease. We studied that case in microbiology in college.

Looking to get out this Saturday to do a little alpine climbing at Snoqualmie Pass or the Mountain Loop Hwy. I am also open to suggestions. Experienced or newbies welcome. If interesed please email bighurtbob@hotmail.com. Thanks, Dan

Nice trip report, great photos!. The rodent you encountered is a busy tailed woodrat AKA the Snaffelhound. When I attemped the TF traverse a number of years ago he chewed through my brand new pack straps. Grrrr!

Best. Trip report. Ever.

Same here, I would have enjoyed meeting everyone too. I was indeed in the same party as the girl in the green.

Camping where we did was a poor decision on my part. We kept thinking we could find a nice, protected site 'just a little higher', but we never did. The rock fall all night was coming down from the gulley climber's left of the FF. We had a pretty sleepless night. Only one rock came down the FF and it came pretty close to our camp.

That must have been us you saw, we hit our bivi site about 4:30.

We camped at about 10,000 feet on a rock ledge at the base of the 'Finger'. Not recommended.

30 years ago my childhood physician was Dr. John Roper at Group Health in Renton. He was a climber and his office had lots of mountain climbing photos on the walls. I thought the name Roper was appropriate for a climber, or a rodeo cowboy. Is this the same John Roper that has climbed all that stuff in the Cascades?

KKK, I think I saw your group on FF. Did one guy in your party have a pony tail? I was with a guy and a girl. I was greeting folks with 'hola amigo'. At the top of the finger where everyone kind of stopped, we saw the group that placed pickets to protect a pull over a crevasse lip thingy (you guys I assume). We went left and down - it was quite easy. We turned around shortly thereafter, one of our party was running out of steam. Dan

Niiiice!

177.5. It won't budge.

Thanks for the encouragment. I keep hearing things that suggest I may never be rid of this bug.

Has anyone here recovered from late-stage Lyme disease? Know anybody who has? I could use some encouragement.

Car to car in a day.

Funny thing, I was just cleaning out my glove box and found two of these tickets that I had forgotten about. The tickets must be about 8 years old. I have not been carted away in handcuffs yet.

Probably more helpful to know if they are off their crazy meds.

I have climbed with a number of partners who got their start by taking a course with AAI. They all felt it was very worthwhile and came away with solid skills. I think since you live in VA, it would be a good way to get introduced to alpine climbing.

Nice TR and photos. Pretty area.

Lazy muther f@#$%rs stole my check, and I want it back.
