Very cool. Thanks for the information and the quick post -- if I ever quit dreaming and actually do this I will post a TR.

Cheers!

Not sure where to post this. . . But does anyone have information on climbing the south facing ridges of Cucamonga Peak? Something like this. . .maybe starting at the top of Haven Avenue: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/710936/Cucamonga Peak1.jpg I drove up Haven toda...

February 10, 2010 Snow Report

12-15 inches of new snow last night

I read the word "Cougar" and thought I was gonna read a different kind of story when I clicked the link. . .

Glad to hear the hikers escaped unharmed.

I am not sure if this is a democratic decision or not, but I like Zoom Cwm; its pretty funny too.

Here is a good site for Whitney information - the Whitney Portal Store Message Board:

Zach is correct in stating that mid-week permits are usually pretty easy to get just by walking in.

You'll have to post a TR here after your Mt Hood climb. I'd be really interested in hearing about it and seeing pictures. Good luck and be safe.

Yes, the south side can be climbed unroped on the route I am intending. Further west past Illumination Saddle you hit the Reid Glacier and that can require roped travel. The one crevasse noted in my photo is the only one on this route and it is routinely passed by going wide around it. There is alot...

I dont have randonnee skis but I'd be interested in helping time or wand the course.

Now that's funny!

Maybe when I learn to rock climb I'll take you up another offer.

Awesome!!

All these pics, and TRs today make me want to go climb something. I just might be sick this week because I don't want to fight the weekend crowds.

Snap. . .I forgot the most important thing. . .ski jumping the Sierra Club outhouse!

Sweet video.

Nice pics, I am totally jealous. Fresh tracks down Baldy, snow cave lunches. . .freakin' awesome!!!

Obvioulsy this isn't the local mountains, and its not a picture of me, but a friend of mine found this and neither of us know where it is but I thought it was cool enough to share. Crazy exposure it seems. Enjoy. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/699241/Mountain Climber...

Great pics! I like the refrigeration system thats been worked out for the emergency supplies in the summit hut!

Great video! San J looks awesome and I bet the tram ride up was awesome with all of that snow.

I am really glad you were able to self-arrest that terrible roll/fall you took on your way back down, I was worried at that speed you'd never stop! Ha, Ha

Thanks for sharing!

Wow, great shots! I love your shot of the bowl, most bowl photos I've seen are taken from below the bowl or on the west ridge so its cool to see one from Harwood's side. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome TR and the pictures are incredible! Thanks for posting.

I forgot to add one more pic, here is the summit ridge after topping out above Mazama or Pearly Gates. . .the true summit (11,249 ft) is where all the climbers are gathered in the distance. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/697937/Summit Ridge - Mt. Hood - June 2006.jpg...

I will be solo climbing Mt Hood on May 25, 2010 -- so I'm just putting it out there, if anyone has this mountain on their list of "to-do's" and has wanted a partner you're welcome to come up and climb with me. No worries. I will be in WA climbing Mt Rainier from May 21-24, and after that c...

"Uh, is that a cucumber in your pocket or are you just excited by all the snow?"




I second Borat -- very nice! Thanks for sharing!

MTN HIGH - 22 JAN 2010

Shasta Avalanche Center is reporting over 9 feet of new snow above the tree line since 1/16.

keep ... the east LA crowd out of the hills. :lol: . . .legitimate gripes about how some people behave in the outdoors are one thing. . .to tar a whole ethnic group is unjustified. I am happy you felt compelled to call me out. . .I like people with opinions that aren't afraid to share them. The fac...

The Mt. Shasta Avalanche Center - US Forest Service Update on Wednesday, 1/20/10 @ 6 pm: Well, this storm is starting to really show it's effects: trees falling left and right, major power outages, road closures and plenty of very wet snow! Due to power outages, we are unable to retrieve weather da...

Instead of the sobriety checkpoint the cops setup sometimes on Mountain Ave for drunk sledders on their way home from Manker, they should setup a stupidity checkpoint on the way up to keep the idiots and the east LA crowd out of the hills.

I have had a couple of PMs about this trip so I thought I would post some generic answers to what I was thinking about when I started this post: DATES: April 16-19 or April 23-26 I am flexible on this and for me it depends on weather but if people who want to go need to start requesting work off the...

Tina~ Cool pictures, sorry you guys didn't have success.

Great pictures! Looks like you three had a great time.

Thanks. Now, just so we are clear. . .this is the Register Ridge located near San Gorgonio at the southwest end of the Jenks Lake parking lot behind the third tree to the left after you walk in circles for 5 minutes, just after you get off the San Jacinto tram??? Right??? My lips are sealed! :lol:
