Thrashador Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Climb: South Sister Slogalicious- Date of Climb: 5/31/2004 Trip Report: We left Willamette Valley iffy weather behind Sunday night... ...and headed for Bend and sunnier climes. A Hot Wheels sticker was our lucky charm: Started skinning around 5:30am and found fine views soonafter: Snowmachiners who cross wilderness boundaries ought to be publicly pissed on. Despite the firm snow the skinning was mostly good: Hmmm, I could be pond skimming at Batchy right about now. The top consisted of classic Cascade chicken head rime but quickly changed to something more skiable: Beers and some chilly water capped off a memorable Memorial day: Gear Notes: Forgot my shades in the car. Approach Notes: There's still enough snow to ski to the highway. Ran into Lane & Agatha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfydog Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just got down from our own slog. On top by 9:00 and found it pretty mushy...did mashed potato eights and started a few surface sloughs. Great day all in all and could still ski car door to car door. We need some cooler nights, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
