scot'teryx Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Recently laid off, and time to do whatever I want - yet I sit here on the computer doing some other work while I gaze out my home/office window at the North Cascades and see how nice it is, and no one to hike with. Life is boring today - guess it's time to hit the Mountain Loop again tomorrow...anyone heading up that way? Thinking about Dickerman or the Big 4 again. Guess I will have to bring along the mountain bikes though. A short trudge on flat ground from the Deer Creek closure to the trailheads can be long on the way out.

Bronco Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 There isn't anymore. We chopped what there was into little pieces when we weren't running away from avalanches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 snow, ice and rocks you silly bastard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfort Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 I bet there's no ice in there Maybe it provides a way to bypass the "class 4" 80 degree crackless snow-covered slab of the standard NF route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
