Howdy, I'd be very interested in one of the axes. I'll shoot you a pm...

Cool beans Youth(s)! Thanks for the photographic evidence. And so many words.

Way cool; thanks for the pics. Quite a wonderful place.

Way to be you crazy kids! Ah, sunshine...

Good on ya amigo; nice looking fun out there!

Fanfreakintastic, way cool

"only" ha ha Si senor, wanna give it a go? (Not this weekend though...)

'Bout time those bolts got yanked. My 2 cents worth anyway.

Hey Mike, I got our pin back from 10+ years ago or whenever the hell that was

Very true This climb's been on my list for a while now, nice FA Jim! Did you guys enter the gully from the left or the right? Lower pitch and a half reaches normal east face ramp: 2nd pitch: 2nd pitch: Top of 3rd: Start of 4th (chimney): Rolf smoked the delicate cruxes of course!

Sweet climb lads. Did it a bunch of summers ago and remember thinking it'd be a great climb in winter.

Photos really do round out a TR; I'm a believer now.

With 2 unused spare picks, 1 leash, 1 tether

Very freakin' cool dudes, looks like a Scottish good time!

Best on the wall I'd say, so far. Yep, thanks Wayne, and have fun up north!

Alas, forgot der camera. And Rolf started getting annoyed when I kept asking him to wait up while I tried to sketch the enchanting scenes we were enjoying. We may do a re-enactment for the magazine shoot though.

ok

Trip: Snoqualmie Mtn - Pineapple Express - Blue Moon var. Date: 1/8/2012 Trip Report: It's way in! 3/4 of the route is styrofoam goodness, the first pitch of PE even had ice and took a couple screws. Approach Notes: I talked Rolf into slowshoes. Just say no, bring skis. Duh.

I'm looking now, too... Which has the best (most effective, longest lasting) dry treatment in your all's experience?

Trip: NY Gully - Date: 12/24/2011 Trip Report: Scott Gullberg and I scratched our way up the route yesterday. It's the bonyest I've ever seen it, and thus a bit harder than usual; though Scott did a fine job leading the crux pitches. One thing I'd mention is that you'd best tread lightly and swing lightly in these conditions to avoid destroying the turf up there. There's zero ice right now and only a handful of sticks into neve so the turf is even more of a valuable commodity. There's also quite a bit of loose rock exposed that is usually covered and more frozen into place.

Similar to http://promountainsports.com/index.php/shelter/tarps/integral-designs-sil-shelter.html but 12 oz including a few guy lines, and without entrance flap. 7 ft long, no tears or scrapes, very low miles.

Sort of a bothy bag with tie-in pass-thrus, eh? Not as restful as laying down I imagine. http://www.terra-nova.co.uk/Product_Type/Tents/Bivi__Bothy_Bags/Superlite_Bothy_2_Red.html?view=description

Glad you got out and got some!

I've only done the Eldo Ck approach and was amazed at how long it took us, what with descending the fairly broken up glacier (1 rap I think). 7 hrs to get to the climb, and 3 or so to do the climb. Easy travelling, just took a while.

Oh hell yeah! Beautiful, strong work! Great place, and words and pics indeed.
