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.
Not sure about that album but I found a photo from 2012. Really cool place

@carbonj: thanks for the historical tidbit! As you can probably imagine, there's a whole story behind the origin of that helmet.
@eben - Would love to see those but it appears that photo link is broken or private!
The video gave me the heebee geebees during the upper part. Lucas's hard hat is the same one Clint Eastwood wore in the Eiger Sanction, Bitchin!
Sweet trip in a special spot!

Such a wild position! Stoked to see more west side action!
