cracked Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Sweet pic. Were you up there yesterday? Quite a circus when I came by. Quote
TimL Posted November 23, 2003 Author Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) Not a circus...it was a good time with awesome folks! That place is really cool. Cheers to the folks who put the routes up, they are really good and well protected. The area provides a good opportunity to learn this type of climbing. Also, it seems like the NW would be a great place to open up more mixed climbing both trad and bolted. Really, ice is so scarce, why not open fun mixed lines to maximize what we have?

TimL Posted November 23, 2003 Author Posted November 23, 2003 Yes, at Alpental on the way up to the Tooth. I should add photos are courtesy of Frank H and the BD Fusions were rented from Feathered Friends. Quote
Billygoat Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 I want to write a winter love story about two forlorn ice climbers. I'm going to call it "Leashless in Seattle" Â What do ya think? Quote

Â http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=2744&password=&sort=1&cat=503&page=1 Â I definitely agree w/TimL regarding local mixed climbing. Since most of us can't spend half the winter in Banff, why not spend weekends doing some mixed stuff locally. It will make you stronger for your next trip and make water ice seem a little easier. Hats off to the folks putting up the lines. Â BTW, nice leading TIM! Quote
layton Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Pretty schweet! Is this the 1st Cascades TR for winter route of this season? Quote

jja Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 (edited) Looks like more ice than a couple of weeks ago. Did you do the topout on the m7- on the left Tim? Â oh, and did anybody get on that m9? I'd love to see some pics from that !! Edited November 24, 2003 by jja Quote
