Winter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have heard that Friend of Tilly Jane are headed up this weekend with permission of the FS to stock the cabin for the weekend, so I expect it to be open at some point once the snow starts flying, but I have no idea what condition the TJ and PR trails are in. I should have more info early next week and perhaps some recent photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Violations of these prohibitions are punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or both . (16U.S.C. 551, and 18 U.S.C. 3559 and 3571) so....the plan for n face climbs this year: step 1: dismantle sign step 2: climb n face step 3: resist powerful urge to spray about accomplishment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsroll Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Well if they are going to let Winter stock the cabin then the must be thinking they will open the are once there is snow on the ground. In the mean time, climb N face don't take any pics while with in the closed area. Spray about the accomplishment with tons-o-pics of the climb, but say you entered from another TH and give evidence of that fact. I won't be headed up there till the snow falls anyway, but when it does Unlike Ivan I can ski and would rather ski for my decent ALso, many thanks Winter for stocking the cabin. It is real nice when some one has a fire going and I pop in for a rest. Edited October 24, 2008 by letsroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm drinking wine with the inlaws this weekend - some other suckas are choppin wood. Can't take credit for that - but I'm hoping they report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Many a climb has been sidetracked by that warm cabin and friendly inhabitants who were too generous with the libations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denalidave Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Wow! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsroll Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 double wow. All we need now is some rain to saturate the soil and a large wind event and then about 20 ft of snow. Those fire crews have my thanks, they did a great job. To see how close it got to the structures, amazzzin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 great link - hey, at least the view of the mtn while driving up the road's gotten clearer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparverius Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 So what is it going to take to access the NF this year, a helicopter? If the TJ trail is toast and the road filled with downed trees, what viable options exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbob Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 1. Ascend SS, downclimb Cooper Spur, descend to Eliot glacier 2. Hike up through Elk Cove/Coe glacier / traverse left and descend to the mid Eliot glacier 3. Hope they open up the TJ trail by mid-late winter Others?

ivan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i can't imagine how you'd be kept off the TJ trail once there's snow on the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparverius Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i can't imagine how you'd be kept off the TJ trail once there's snow on the whole thing wouldn't the possibility of downed trees make it hard to follow the TJ trail? I've never been up the Elk Cove/Coe Glacier approach. How does it compare to the approach from Cloud Cap? Guess I could look at a map to figure that one out.

ivan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 wouldn't the possibility of downed trees make it hard to follow the TJ trail? how many trails have you been on in the n cascades that didn't have 5 billion trees down on them?

sparverius Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ummm yeah, you're right. But I was hoping for a nice approach, maybe even on skis once the snow starts to accumulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
