Silas, I should have known that if it is skiing, you are woven into the fabric, even in Aspen, nice work getting the goods in the world of Gucci!

From tabski's post on eldorado to this one and many others it is clear this is a sacred and holy place. Awesome to share in the glory!

That looks like a fun way to tele! What a cool idea for the paddle and what great looking style in the way down. Makes my turn look like trash.

Well said Drew. The human condition with its fragile grasp on time and space, is ominous and inconsolable at times. I like to think that if I were a ghost I'd be attracted to these mountains, such as on Eldorado. It seems logical then that Liz, who's cut of the same cloth as all of us, would be giving high fives and singing along with you guys throughout the day. Good luck finding your balance out there. The glaciers and rock, rivers and lakes, forests and slide alder (yeah, even them)...

Awesome jeff ..... thanks for sharing. Great trip, into a beautiful mountain zone. Feeling fortunate to be part of  your video, well done. The clear days, in the cascades....does not get much better than that.

Good one.... great to chat in the parking lot.... I was glad to have 3 clear days in the cascades. Just enough time to finally get up Eldorado peak.

Thanks for the TR; it's one of my favorite tours too.  FYI, technically I believe this is the Forbidden TOUR (as you said in your first sentence, but not in your title or in the video).  The [Torment-] Forbidden Traverse is the rock climbing route from Torment to Forbidden.

Yea Andy.  The Forbidden is one of my favs as well.  Way to grind it out despite being sick.  Great video Jeff!  You used a classic by the Talking Heads.  Good to see gen X using some of their elder's music.

Awesome pics Radka!  Ives corn, Old Snowy ladybugs, flat slope kicker/Splitrocks/St Helens, Three Dot Chute, Blue Sky/B&W, Goat Lake, sundials and vapor trails!  The last time I skied off C. Gilbert we had a Big Billie kicking rocks of the cliffs skiers rt. of the "glacier chute"!  Oh, and stars! Fabulous night shot.........I'm thinking Cougar.

Andy, great to see you guys in the parking lot. I blame the fatigue on those XXL Hummelpacks you guys were carrying. ;) I'd love to ski with Jason more often, but I don't think he knows what a day trip is!  ;D

I can't decide which trip was harder. Being sick for three days on this one or suffering on the 1 day epic. Either way, epic trip in the awesome North Cascades. Probably one of the most scenic and aesthetic trips I've experienced so close to home.

Looks like you had a great day in the mountains. We dragged our tired bodies up Eldorado after three days on the Forbidden tour 2 days later. Experienced my first brocken spectre as we descended the summit ridge. Can't help but think that my late uncle Petr and Liz were watching from above.

We watched you come down trying to figure out how you were going to get over or through that cliff band.  From where we were we couldn't see the gully so it looked like you were going to huck that cliff which seemed like suicide.  were pleased to see you took an excellent line though.  nice job.

Thanks for the photos. Looks like the windboard mid-route has really smoothed out since I was up there over President's day. The upper pitches skied really well then, so it might be in nice condition once we get another extended high pressure going on (can count on that!).

But yesterday I found, instead of fear or doubt, a great sense of rightness, joy and belonging in the high, snowy reaches of the mountains. Not in the attraction to the extreme or the exposed (though this still flutters in the back of my mind). But with the sense of the fabulous good fortune to have the chance to experience places of such profound beauty along with other likeminded, conscienti...

Agreed.  You deserve medals.  I'm super appreciative of your post because I've always wanted to wander out there and wondered if anyone ever went there.  Now I know... So someday I'll go.

During my recent trip to Glacier I was wondering, "When will Kenji make another trip to sloan?"  I was also trying to see the trailhead on our drive out... Doesn't seem like an obvious one.  Any pointers on finding it?

You're a monster, you deserve medals..!  tho maybe a little less foliage than in June?


I'll take the medals, GRRRRRRRR
The reality is that if I've got to do that schwack in the dark it's nice to be able to follow the river as a handrail. I'm very cautious of getting totally lost. It only took 2 hours to get upstream, and the valley w...

ha! nice one!  I almost went there last weekend... seemed like a good time to go, access can be problematic, but checked out OK on the atv site... Would have been weird running into anybody back there!
I probably would have have tried the Jug Lake route tho... that Illabot schwack rates way up there on the sch-wack scale. You're a monster, you deserve medals..!  tho maybe a little less foliage than in June?

Looked like this early last June -
