On the icy sections of the glaciers.

Just above the first icefall is pretty good. the higher you go the bigger the slots.

Might want to mention that's on the Eliot.

North Face? Don't know what the descent would be like on South Side this time of year, but supposedly good alpine ice up to 70 degrees on North Face.

I assumed he meant ice cragging on the elliot.

Men , Hold your ground and wait till the frosting occurs on Illumination rock! It is the shit I am telling you !!

word is, you have some sketches of said climbs on i. rock and stuff on the spider...can I get a look-see online somehow?

I left copies of topos in Climaxe. Those guys should give me free picks for sending people in there. They shouldnt be copied though as they are to end up in Jeff Thomas' update if he gets it finished .

Thanks. Here's to Oregon High 2.0.

There are also large cracks on the White River Glacier that are fun to climb in. The Timberline chair lift will carry you and your gear part way up the south side for $6 or so (family pass of four for $24), then just traverse up and over to the lateral moraine and run down the scree to the glacier.

 

You might consider bringing an inflatable raft to go water caving at the bottom of the crevasses. There's got to be at least 10 feet of water in some!

Hiked up to Eliot Glacier yesterday--very windy on ridge but nice inside the crevasses. Apparently PMR is having an "Ice Follies" there this weekend..should be pretty busy.
