klenke Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 Looking at planning a multi-day trip for next week in the area of Mt. Goode to climb it's NE Buttress and then Stormking and perhaps Mt. Logan too. I was wondering if anyone out there has done the NE Buttress of Goode yet this year. The rock is probably bare, but I'm mostly wondering about snowcover and how it may affect access to the area. Thanks if anyone has any recent beta. Quote
kevin Posted June 27, 2002 Posted June 27, 2002 Dude There's an active thread on this right now called Go Get Goode. Check it out! [ 06-27-2002, 01:53 PM: Message edited by: kevin ] Quote
klenke Posted June 27, 2002 Author Posted June 27, 2002 Thanks, Kevin. I found it. I've been out of town for a while. I'm not sure what's been posting lately on the site. Quote
wayne Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Yo Klenke, you remind me of me before I had done many trips here. Are you serious about wanting to do all those peaks??? One trip?? I find it better to plan on 1 mt. The pack is so light you usually get up someting Quote
klenke Posted June 28, 2002 Author Posted June 28, 2002 I had considered Logan in our trip but only if we went out a different way than we went in (namely out via Thunder Creek). Doing Storm King while doing Goode is no big deal. While in the area, why not. I once saw a friend's picture of Goode from Storm King (Goode thrusts out of the earth like one of those splinters of marbly rock on Krypton in the Superman movie). Ever since then, I've wanted to climb it just to see this remarkable view. But you're right, I do tend to pack in a little too much weight. But I'm learnin'. Quote
Dennis_Harmon Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 Don't even try it, jerk-wad. Without a damned computer you'd be screwed in just about anything you'd do. Can you try driving to work for just one day without a frigging cell-phone in your ear? I doubt it. Dennis Quote
Stefan Posted June 28, 2002 Posted June 28, 2002 You can do Stormking in combination with NE Buttress of Goode in one day and getting back to your bivy camp. It just depends on your speed of ascent and descent. Here’s an option if you want to combine Logan into your trip: On the way to the Bridge Creek trailhead, drop off a bike at the Easy Pass trailhead (if you don’t think you will be able to hitch a ride). After your combined ascent of Goode and Stormking I recommend you go to the end of the North Fork of Bridge Creek and ascend Logan from there via the Douglas Glacier. Come out via Easy Pass and to your bike—which you then can ride to the Bridge Creek trailhead. Quote
Dennis_Harmon Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Darn it, I've always wanted Mt.Goode myself, but I was never privy to the 'Information Super Internet" in order to scope route info on the mountain. Why don't you just go and try to climb it? If you fail you fail. But if you succeed, you might actually have something to feel proud of. Just a suggestion. Dennis Quote
wayne Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Stefan ,Great idea Is this the same cynical Dennis Harmon that I did Eldorado west ridge with? there could be a 2nd DH in Wenatchee? Quote

Dennis Dennis- you forgot to mention something about bolts or Gen-Xer's in this post. While the 'tude is still evident, you're letting your fan club down. Quote
fleblebleb Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 To Dennis, I say again: Go scuba dive in the shit pits next to the Muir Hut. Quote
MtnHigh Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Hey Harmon if ya don't have anything positive to contribute stay the hell away. Nobody wants to read your negitive crap. Your posts are a waste of space on everyone's monitor. Quote
MountainMan Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 By Dennis Harmon's "logic", this board has no purpose. So my question to Dennis Hummergiver (err.. Harmon) ... is why are you here in the first place? Last I checked, this was a climbing board. Climbers generally get info from climbers boards. Before the days of bulletin boards, climbers would talk to other climbers and ask for beta .. now they ask other climbers for beta using the internet (i.e. this bulletin board) -- is it sinking in yet Dennis [i doubt it]. What's your major malfunction? If it's wrong to ask route information on a climbing board, pray tell .. what is this board for? Is it for flunkees like you to hide behind their avatar and talk a bunch of shit to people who would probably kick your ass in person? Yardbird.

Dennis_Harmon Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 Just like bolts, this "beta" horse-shit is destroying adventure. Why not try giving the mountain at least half a chance to flush you? Oh, and while you're at it, leave your frigging cell-phones at home. Dennis Quote
allthumbs Posted June 29, 2002 Posted June 29, 2002 why don't you leave your fleshlite at home, dennis Quote
klenke Posted June 29, 2002 Author Posted June 29, 2002 I know where you can find two more bolts, Dennis: sticking out of either side of your neck. Chop 'em then leave us alone. The only one flinging horse-shit on this thread is you. What's that say about you other than we all could probably smell you a mile away. [ 06-29-2002, 09:40 AM: Message edited by: klenke ] Quote
dbb Posted June 30, 2002 Posted June 30, 2002 dennis, you forgot to tell 'em to take up SCUBA diving! you're slippin man... Quote
