Thanks for putting so much effort into the TR of this classic. Did you really take a drone up the route??

Just saw this. Sad passing. Chuck and I climbed at Static together, fun and easy times.

Good for trying them. I found the Lennox climbs to be fun but it certain is a real approach, you really want snow cover for it.

nice job, its a nice route with good weather, I like it a lot more than the N Face

The stuff above melawka lake I've never heard of anyone climbing nor have I climbed them (though I did the stuff lower down, keekwulee falls etc) so I'd say good job getting out and climbing something!

nice to see shit still getting done

nice

great trip, great pics!

Nice climb!

I like the newer forum software. It's made me check out cc.com a few times in recent weeks. Not much to chat about in the winter, as right now I just post some random ski pics on FB. If there is a real ski TR it generally goes on TAY.

Honestly unless the weather window is amazing I wouldn't spend the time in the cascades unless you are ski touring. If you are ski touring, it would be perfect time of year for Isolation Traverse, Ptarmigan on skis, or Forbidden Traverse I'd echo Banff for ice, JTree or Red Rocks or Smith for rock climbing. Moab for a week of crusher mountain bikling. Indian Creek if you are up to it. Sierra for melting-out-but-probably very cold higher elevation scrambles

great pictures as always! worthy of a coffee table book!

Barney's Rubble, Roto Wall, Playground Point has a few climbs as Gene mentions, we also regularly TR Mountaineers Dome climbs, and make up a bunch more; it depends on your kid a bit. We started them on all these, then graduated to multi-pitch rock climbs and now the 10-year old is leading easier routes.

Hey Josh et co, good job getting up a big face in good style. This trip is a big undertaking no matter what the route conditions, so great job! Sounds like your training paid off and you got a great day in the mountains, and back down safe!

Take the fall, Ram
