More on the Aetherian sighting, praying to Egog, the big mouthed orange cookie monster / packman spawn in the middle of their blanket...er, flag.

Early this morning I spied what I believe to be Aetherians. I caught them on video, on what appears to be a Baldy sabbatical.

Great TR and Pix, that cornice certainly is incredible! You guys have sure made the most out of this wacky winter/spring 8)

Nice work Guys! Hey Sam I really like that new ipod feature on your blog.

I'd be willing to try it. Just nothing too death defying...

I think this sounds like fun...Would everyone on the team have to do the rope work or could they designate someone....cause...I have never done anything like that. But it sounds like a really fun day and to clarify I'm not a racer, either.

Nice work, Elwood. Thanks for posting. But you're right, where has all that snow gone to?

Norma,

You're sure putting some miles on those boots!

Looks like you all had a really nice time - great weather, too. Wondering why Norma did not bring her snow shoes, though? Too much other stuff?

That would definately give me the willies, EMan!

Thanks for the great pix and info on these chutes! Really interesting stuff. 'course, I still have yet to do the bowl maybe next year.

Congrats and awesome TR on your Mountaineering Review, Sam

Looking for beta - is it a slush fest or ? Any info greatly appreciated-

Last Sunday Eman led me up Lytel Creek to Big Horn Peak on what I will call Eman's slippery slope boot camp for out of shape hikers (like me). We were off trail on the high side, which meant a long right handed traverse, and by the time we got to Big Horn, I was exausted. We met up with a new guy to...

Bummer. Hope they turn up, James.

Great photos Elwood! Thank you for posting!

Fantastic TR Sam! Thanks for leading me to a good book to read, as well.

Congratulations Curt and Stacy! I'm glad you two had a safe trip up and back. As someone else on this board said "Baldy never disappoints". Nice photos!

One of these days, I'm going to have to try it up the bowl...
