Cpt.Caveman Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I was scrambling through some bushes this weekend and came across the idea of a Weekend Trundle Report. If you have a digi camera feel compelled to safely trundle link it. I will next summer trundle more and report with video when possible. I hope someone else does. Trundling is fun if you are not harming anyone. If anyone has a new or old trundle video we should see it. Bronco forgot to remind me to trundle and video it with the camera. Cheers.

Bug Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Ten years ago, a partner and I were on the Full N rdge of Stuart down low by the snow when a VW Van sized block came down the ice cliff glacier. The ground was shaking, we were screamin and so was the party above us. It left some huge divets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) amazing. My view is not to get a report unless you video it so everyone can share. Alhtough that does not disqualify any verbal\written reports either. It's fun to share if you can and I dont want to alienate any trundle reports There is something to be said about the joy of safely trundling. I am sure many people have done it. Maybe at the end of each season we might have the best of 2004 trundles for instance. Edited October 6, 2003 by Cpt.Caveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I saw some of this ice spontaneously trundle down today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 It looks like a perfect spot for it. Most of the time in order to capture spontaneous ice or maybe not you have to wait. Go for it is all I am saying. The person that captures the pocket of death glacier on slesse sliding in entirety or mostly will be the trundle reporter of the decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordop Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Got woken up by mystery nightime trundle at 10:21 last night: 1500' job lasted a good 30 secs. Scared the shit out of me even though I was a km from the face, I thought I was going to die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw paint dry and filmed it I would immediately report it to the police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Caveman: I know the feeling of wishing I had it on film. About 20 years ago or so, I had hiked up to the top of Barrett spur (what ? 9000 feet elev or therabouts?) and was sitting staring at the north side of Mt Hood, just hangin out by myself for most of the day, no camera either. There was an ice cliff of I guestimate several hundred feet high which collapsed off of the lower part of Coe icefall. All I can say was damn impressive. It was like somebody had pulled the bottom can of peas out of the supermarket display. I remember thinking that it most certainly would have killed anybody unfortunate enough to be caught walking across the relatively flat ice below the cliff, there were huge (much bigger than a VW bus size) blocks that collapsed and then swept down quite some distance. The roaring, smacking and cracking noise was something to behold. Well, I guess its time for some jackass to show up and hijack the thread with flames now. I'm already sorry I posted this. I hope somebody shows up with some interesting video though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 Dear, billcoe Well, I guess its time for some jackass to show up and hijack the thread with flames now. I'm already sorry I posted this Sounds cool to me. And this is the exact type of discussion I am looking for. Whether or not you have a video is irrelevent. My intentions of creating this topic are- In the future I would like anyone to record human or nature examples of this type as long as nobody is injured. I remember seeing a good trundle this weekend but not the best I have seen. So I figured to start the discussion. Thanks for sharing.

Billygoat Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Trundled a "manhole cover" sized plate by accident Saturday. Love that sulphur smell. I was skiing on the Quien Sabe Glacier a couple of springs ago and witnessed a huge piece of the hanging glacier on JBerg calve and trundle down into the drainage! Truly Thunderous!

catbirdseat Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 That "sulfur smell" is ozone O3 created by the sparks in the same way lightning does it. There was a 100 lb rock on the summit of Twin Peaks West that was going to be in the way for my follower so I picked it up and threw it over the North face side. It made one hell of a racket going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching and hearing the glacier calving on JBerg is one of my favorite passtimes in the Boston Basin area. Other than climbing loose blocky ridges of course. Cavey - can we post video on this site?

scot'teryx Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Got video of us trundling on the vesper glacier last weekend. Had some good size boulders that almost went down to copper lake, unfortunately I only got the shitty trundles on video and missed the good ones.
