Beck Posted October 21, 2002 Posted October 21, 2002 ...my high point of the weekend -a serendipitous event watching Dave Bale's kids scoring some very cool climbing hand-me-downs at classic crack from a way cool CC.comster ! What a rightous moment!!! Quote

It was fun to meet many new folks and thanks for sharing your 'wacky backy', (smoke) Erik, Beck and Parker. Be nice to your puppy Ray!! A back country ski pary is a great idea. I think spring would be best. LET'S DO IT!!!!! Any suggestions for a good winter or spring location? I think spring would be best because the weather is usualy better and there is more day light. THIS WILL BE FUN!!!!! Quote
rodeo Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Uhhh Crackbolter, I was up on R&D keeping things slow on Saturday. Nowhere near CastleRock. Must have been my other brother Daryll. Thanks for sending your lil "alpine buddy" TG. (--Climb on,,, Quote
gapertimmy Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 lets drag a keg up the south spur on adams and have a ski fest ontop. that would be Über plab! Quote
mattp Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 That'd be good, but a kegger at the Keith Flavelle Memorial hut would be even flabber. Its a bit of a drive from Bend, perhaps, but you can get to the trailhead from Seattle in 5 hrs. (at night) and the Adams trailhead is at least 4. The hut sleeps 20 or more, and is strategically located below dozens of incredible ski runs - both above and below treeline. The ski in is only 3 1/2 miles and 1200 feet elevation gain, so a small alpine buddy -- 7 3/4 gallons -- could easily make the trip. Quote
mattp Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Here's a photo of the area. The hut is just to the right of the moraine prominent in the lower center of the photograph. [ 10-21-2002, 07:24 PM: Message edited by: mattp ] Quote

Be prepared to share the keg with the 40 random Canadian skiiers you will find there in anytime there is snow. One of the nearby "secret" huts would be a better choice but I cant tell you where they are or I will be killed by those determined to avoid the same type of crowding. Dont you guys have ANY huts of your own, other than Muir Hut? Quote

She was supposed to remain SECRET, remember? Quote
Beck Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 No, Wa ain't got huts worth any mention- I'll haul a keg anywhere on skis you guys want it to go and it won't have to be a pony, either- I think we could help entertain any local Canook hosts who might be in atendance. As for smaller scale, pre- spring weekend bashes, a bivy upon Heather Ridge at Stevens Pass is very doable for an overnight PARTY destination. Quote

tread_tramp Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Had a great time hooking up with Dave Schuldt to climb a few routes. Also, Geordie and Rodeo, it was a blast climbing with you guys. Thanks for the lift Beck. Leavenworth and the cc.com crowd rocks! Quote

Dont you guys have ANY huts of your own, other than Muir Hut? Dru is right about the hut's popularity -- during the winter -- but after the middle of march the interest in backcountry skiing seems to wane just as the prime season is just getting under way. In May, we would just as likely have it to ourselves. At least one of the "secret" huts is even easier to get to than Cerise Creek (Flavelle Hut), but Cerise is the nicest one I've been to and the it has an incredible variety of terrain from completely hairball death runs to easy touring. Aside from a party, some winter exploration would be in order. The Coast Range has very accessible backcountry skiing that is ten times as good as what we have in the Cascades. If interested, contact me after the first of the year. Quote
