I have always wondered about the arete. Nice work.

I met a guy on Prusik who was doing just that. His name was Aidan. He guides for AAI I think.

I have Edelwiess 8.5 mm sharp and it seems to be a solid rope and has held up well on rock pitches.

Maybe next year reserve the camp site under a church group's name.

That is incredible. Did you do the NE Buttress? How did you approach?

Let's do Little Annapurna then.

Anybody want to do a trail run on Sunday or perhaps just hike up and tag Little Anapurna?

Look into Precor. They can be found used on Craiglist.

After suffering for years cramming my widish feet into various La Sportiva boots I recently switched to a pair of Scarpa Summits. Similar in function to LS Nepals. My feet have never been happier.

Thanks for the report. I'll have to add this route to the list.

I was pleased to see the winter/spring routes addressed. Nice job.

Price Glacier goes.

I have some mediocre photos of some moderate local climbs from this summer if that helps.

Z-Man has done it: http://www.summitpost.org/route/259121/northwest-arete.html

cool. you gonna knock it out car-to-car? I'm doing it as a mellow overnighter. I likes me some camping.

Nice. I'm looking forward to doing this next month.

Awesome, now there will be something worth climbing in North Bend.

Very nice TR

There is a cliff about 3 miles south of I-90 on SR 900. If you are driving south towards Renton it is on the right hand side of the road. It has been used primarily for dry tooling, but could be used for rock climbing too. There are lead and anchor bolts.

Thanks Curt.

Very nice photography. I have been wandering the Cascades for going on 20 years and I have to agree with your assessment that many routes need to be done earlier.

Has anyone done Mt Challenger in September? How is the glacier crossing that time of year? Icy? Poor snow bridges? TIA, Dan

Shit, that's Chad_A from this board. I have climbed with him a number of times. He is a great guy. I hope he heals quickly.

I was wonderign the same thing so I Googled it: http://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=5032&sort=promft&u=ft

We were able to drive the road all the way to the Nooksack Cirque trailhead which is the end of the road. I can't say what is up the Hannegan Road though.
