WageSlave Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm looking at these cold temps Sunday night and the lack of precip thats expected and thinking that maybe that North Face might be in condition. Anyone game to go check it out and climb it Sunday night/Monday AM? I don't have a car, and only have a couple screws, but will make up for that by doing most the trailbreaking and being obnoxiously awake at 2 am C'mon, you know you folks want to get out of Portland and swing some tools... Either PM me or gimme a call at (three 6 oh) 723 three three 44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frikadeller Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What kind of trail breaking services are you going to provide when the trail looks like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 indeed! is that how it looked this weekend? it might just be time for the cc.com-gang-bang-of-the-week action, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsroll Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 how do you plan to get up there? G-friend and I are looking for a hike and I love that side of the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 no clue - i rarely plan more than a few minutes in advance - a better question to ask of frikadeller, assuming those were recent pix, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WageSlave Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 I was planning on the kind where I walk behind you and jab you in the ass with poles to hike faster. I'd be up for some cc.com gangbang on Hood action. Time to switch from alcoholism back to climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panos Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) It might be okay for the Yocum ridge (?) ...or I am totally mistaken. What do you think ? Edited November 20, 2008 by Panos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnf Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 wtf!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 don't be so cranky w/ the spaniard! yocum i wouldn't get close to for awhile yet, mostly b/c i doub there's any rime to speak of on the gendarmes wageslave - i've yet to square a parnter for the day/weekend after t-giving - pm me if that might be a decent time for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnf Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Panos- I just mean this is what the ridge looked like 4 weeks ago: and this is what you want it to look like (these were probably taken in Feb 07?): It has a long way to go. Colin and/or Ivan I'd be up for checking out NF Thanksgiving weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panos Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Nice, thanks for the speaking pictures! Yet, four weeks it is a long time It would be nice to try something on Hood. For this weekend however it would not be safe to try anything there, exept if the wind thu-sat hits the slope/ridge/route almost at right angle preventing wind-drift accumulation and possibly helping rime formation... Dreams of an fall night. I will be checking that too. Maybe see you there Edited November 20, 2008 by Panos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frikadeller Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 how do you plan to get up there? G-friend and I are looking for a hike and I love that side of the mountain. Tilly Jane ski trail. It's a little burned, a couple of blow down trees, but was very easily navigated last weekend. Dunno how much snow is on the trail after this weeks rain storm, but I'll bet it's minimal, considering that I could still see bare dirt/rocks on Barrett spur from Portland.

Frikadeller Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I was planning on the kind where I walk behind you and jab you in the ass with poles to hike faster. That kind of tactic usually only last until the second jab, from there on, I chain smoke Camels and drink beer while laughing at the poles shoved up you ass!

Camels and beer, that sounds like a high quality mountaineering trip to me. Where are the massive Slaveway sandwiches to go with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
