They didn't do shit last time we went up. We didn't even go in all ninja status or anything, just walked through.

Darin - I am not a member of the Meet Up club. You would have to contact one of the organisers.

Conact this guy: http://www.meetup.com/AdventurePeople/members/4182610/

I know the organizer, but I don't want to post his info on here, since the trip isn't completely legal (stupid boundary issues with the water people).

Here are pictures from Thursday's 15 hour climb up Snow Creek. David said that the Chock Stone was completely snow covered.

That is a shitload of snow. I don't want to be wrong taking a guess at the height of the chockstone, but it's high as hell, so there ya go.

great job all four of you! nice to know there is a legal way to access the trail now. so that mean permits will be required soon?

Post by **Taco** » Tue Mar 30, 2010 2:43 am

Ah cool. Have fun?

Thanks for the detail on how to do it legally. I'm gonna give it a shot.

Nice work guys!

That alternate route TR and pics = amazing, amazing, amazing! I still can't believe anyone gets up that north face, or down it, no matter the route.

I keep hearing about the purity of the water being the reason that they don't want hikers up that face ---- is the threat of water purity really that serious or is that just an excuse for something else?

Also, knowing that this is a touchy subject/area - I'll understand if things might not get answered here - just throwin' the question out there, that's all...

Again though, respect for sharing the pics - it's an area my boot[y] will never see - so thanks for filling in the shoes

Seems pot growers are a big issue up there...and I'm sure thats what we look like.
