Isn't the West peak a good deal higher (and rocky and unskiable) than the East one that we both tagged?
Cheers Kam, thank you! You and Phil's trip report was a huge hit of beta and inspiration! Cool to know we were after the same thing! By real summit, did you mean the west peak, or just off the summit...
I had fun this same day, but you had to know where to go to avoid the wind blasted surfaces.
Let it snow!
Epic, especially to finish with a bike failure! I remember biking that road out with my commuter rig to be the most dangerous part of the trip to Anderson and back.
Phil Fortier and I went in there t...
"Pretty significant inversion up there." seedy
That brought a big laugh! Nice one
Pretty significant inversion up there.
Alisse, thanks for sharing this even later after the fact! It sounds like you learned a lot and I think I learned something or it reinforced something for me reading it. I have been "there", not in th...
Way to go! Love that part of the mountain when it's like that and nobody around!
everything but the elote 😂
Appreciate the reflection here!
The N side of Hood is rad! Sad to see the Eliot so beat up, but such is life in an era of glacial retreat.
Thanks for the frank discussion! I admire your choice to put some of your questionable decisions on display. I can see talking myself into the same kinds of choices, but I'm pretty sure I would need a...
tail lifting conditions, looks like
yeah, I think the downtrack (if that's the main Overcoat drainage) is what I had in mind. The only Volken guide I have is the one where he tells us to boot up the Slot...no, no, no, even if you are a...
Thank you for engaging in a thoughtful way!
Great questions. I don't have good memory of what the weather was doing leading up to the trip, but of course I was watching it. I don't think we wouldn't...
Thanks for posting! That's an ambitious route, and you pulled it off (mostly) and lived to tell us about it. Gotta be thankful for that!
It's a fabulous reminder for everyone that trip planning is no...
Blair- yup, thanks- that's about right. Congrats on year one! Happy to be heading into winter, so I don't have to get all worked up again about maintaining my streak until about late July!
Hey Robie- "wh" is pronounced "ph" down here, so I guess I am a phakapapa. Neither one sounds too good to me though!
I always knew you were a Whackapappa!
Congrats on keeping the streak alive! This was inspiring as I just finished my first 12 months of TAY at the age of 51-I am guessing about the age you started your current streak? I now ha...
Making us jealous!
What a delightful outing!
Interestingly enough, there was a very small snow field even lower with 2 mtn goats laying out on the snow so must have been a lucky day!
Blair- thanks so much for the timely report! That looks very typical for this time of year. It's rarely good above 9000' this late- maybe in October, all will be sweet if we get an early storm. Hoping...
Flowwwwwers!
Thanks, was just thinking where to go for just a day trip next weekend... Great for August sounds nice!
Wooooot!!! Love the Kamtron-Brendigler linkups :)
Nice work boys, way to harvest.
Love the BBQ tour!!! Looks like a sweet day out.
