Lost: Grivel Axe in the White Salmon Hellhole

[jared_j]

This weekend I fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "don't just choose your own adventure down into the White Salmon basin on your way to Shuksan's north side in a low-snow year".

 

I'm pretty sure the axe got ripped off my pack in some slide alder either in the valley proper, or on our way out (ascending to the 'high' approach normally used for winter access).

 

Reward: a few 6's of your preferred craft beer or whatever.
