(Hmmm, given the context here you might want to rephrase that...) In any case: Nice lookin' frickin' adventure, prose, and pics!

If you head up the drainage instead of the trail, yes, as of Sunday. There may be a few bare spots in a few days but it's definitely worth bringing the skis!

no no no no fuck fuck fuck oh man, he's one of the most wonderful people I've known fuck damn it

Rumor confirmed. Damn.

Noooooobody wants that!

Yep, it was a bit wet and there was no ice this time, but when you gotta get out you gotta get out. That south chimney's a nice diversion when it's full-on shit weather and avi death conditions in the real mountains.

Thanks for the note. And how did the routes on Dragontail look?

The road is reported ungated as of yesterday. The boulder fields should be just snow-covered enough to be deadly, what's not to like?! Or any other similar objective would be a hoot. -Mark 206 456 1432

Holy shit, frickin' full on fantastic!

Nice adventurin' lads But don't forget to embrace the HYPE!

Check out Mt Daniel on Saturday maybe. Could be a very long day though if there's much new snow to push around.

Complacency kills.

I don't know about the Couloirs specifically but the north side of Dragontail, the Gerber-Sink for example, is usually fantastic in April.

A fun day during a raging winter storm is to haul up your sharps and head up that chimney. There are a couple places that require some pretty cool scratching around; and the gear is sufficient. Leave your pack on the ground though, it gets kinda tight in there.

Goddamn cool lads; I'm stoked for you!

Yeah, just checked the temps at Tahquitz-- 40's & 50's. That just might register on the "What the hell are you trying to do to me" o-meter. Liking J-tree more and more...

Gracias!
