Great report John! Looks like an awesome line, stoked to read about your journey. Nice work managing the crevasse field of the upper headwall, looks complex!
Feedback is a gift...
To bring the cost down, the site was migrated to a new server a couple of months ago, and it functioned fine initially, but the hosting company has changed some settings on us w...
"How do we maintain basic functionality?" - a small donation would go a long ways.
Never thought I'd see the day where you have to pay to post... I'm exaggerating...a little bit. TAY's been around fo...
Testing image upload fix : )
Cool TR - thank you for posting it! To answer your question around "How do we maintain basic functionality?" - a small donation would go a long ways. It's been volunteer work thus far with my funding...
Last year when I did it we skied through that area closer to the runnel/rocks than you did. We didn't find any ice, although there was some firm snow underneath the corn. Pretty spicy and quite steep...
My buddy Kristian and I went to ski it yesterday, dropping in unarguably too late around 12. We didn't see any debris coming down on our approach. We skied down to the choke and then a lot of debris s...
I'd take a whippet over a euro pole any day...so I get the idiosyncratic...but seems like it would of been perfect for that situation, no need to "shift the weight to get the ice axe" if it's already...
Makes me miss the Cascades.
Bravo, great write-up and looks like a great trip.
It was also cloudy when we were on Logan... Hmmm... Also I would have expected the poor Banded to be more covered... Wyeth looks awesome.
Hopefully...
Great report and way to cruise that trip quickly, it's a big day! Such a cool route....
Awesome! I always wanted to get out there but never made it. Thanks for the write up
Great report Thomas! I’ve enjoyed my tenure as the cover of TAY, but nothing lasts forever. Excited for the revival of this community!
what about the toy truck?

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...
