Dang, I wish you'd gotten the heat out before I left Chris! Nice pics.
Sweet.
Cool, thanks for the report. I've gotta get up there. I agree with Jason - that 5th picture is rad (they are all nice - just wish they were larger).
Great TR, as usual. Nice work on a dangerous descent.
Those are great photos - many worthy of the stoke thread - just wish your larger versions were even larger (desktop size). Gotta get up there one of these days. Thanks for the TR.
Great TR Jason, I've gotta get up there. Sweet pix, esp. the 1st and last.
Not sure where your last shot is, but it looks similar to slopes between Sperry and Big 4, it isn't a glacier, but was carved by one millions of years ago. I've always thought it looks like...
Thanks for the report, I'm looking forward to some pictures, gotta add this one to my Mt. Loop list.
Great idea and cool shots. I used to do this almost every month when I lived in Salt Lake. We also went ice and rock climbing by full moon, sometimes without headlamps at all, which led to some tricky...
It is one thing to share conditions/reports after the fact as we do here, quite another to do so on the way up to a hopefull stash of pow - just telling which aspect was pretty open!
Rusty, I was one of the grinning folks who chatted with you on our way out from the north side and reminisced about my own boy scout snow camping experiences. Those kids are lucky they've got som...
Great pics on Picasa Kevin, you should post some as thumbnails - I esp. love this one:
Nice shots, wish I were up there.
That's fabulous that you found frisky frolicking fauna on Fay, but where are the fine fotos (euro spelling)?
Wrigleyd, Glad you guys had a good run. It was cool having your team at a distance for photos in the glacier. I just finished processing a few more you might like (I hope Charles doesn't mind me...
Colin,There should be plenty of snow up there for a decent run through August. If I were camping on the mt. I would go beyond the pass (views are not that good) to camp on the ridge above, or even the...
Wow. That would be burly without carrying the skis! Nice write up and great photos - remember you can post them someplace else and put more thumbnails here to get around the 3 picture rule.
Big Snow, the gully we skied is off the other side of the ridge, not visible in the picture you are referring to. I wouldn't drop down this side which would entail steep talus and brush at this p...
Thanks for the confession/TR Jason - it obviously it struck a cord. While your initial post might have been written in the passion of the moment (and apparently didn't exactly communicate what yo...
Thanks for the TR and great photos, I love the colors in Climbing to the Boston-Forbidden col.. I've gotta do this one someday.
Cool trip, and nice pictures, esp. the B&W (just wish the thumbnails opened larger versions).
Thanks for the report Pete, I was thinking of heading up into Gothic Basin soon. I took the trail like you last time and it was a steep side-hilling hump.
Thanks again for the report since Eric and I are headed down there next week. I know what you mean about the photos eating time! Where you going next?
Thanks for the report, we're heading down that way Monday, we'll see if the weather cooperates.
Very nice shots - reminds me of evenings on Mt. Pilchuck looking down at the sound - only you're closer.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys. We really lucked out on Morning Star - it was one of those days I'll never forget, which is one of the reasons I do this. I have to admit that the extreme n...
jjabodee, you got the road right, but the trail head is a long ways from Wirtz Basin. We skinned up the road for ~1.5 miles before hitting the trail where we took em off. It is quite a hike right now...
Merk,I got the ariel photos from Google Earth, then put them through Photoshop. I looked for a shot of Morning Star on John Scurlock's pages but couldn't find one.
Very cool. Did your left leg get more tired from all the side hilling?
Thanks for the report and great shots - I love the panos. Do you think it would be worth mountain biking the road?
