As it was mentioned, I won't be able to make it till Sept (ROWCC trip to LE), but there is a small chance I can make it out there late July with my daughter. Wish I could make it next weekend.....JEALOUS!!
BTW, props to John on the "you know what". Sharp!

Not a whole lot more photos, Jeff... See if I can add one or two to this post though later. Really nice shots by Micronut, plus the ones of the Melting Wall and Munge's sunset! Nate D. might be holding out on a sunset shot?
Great group of folks out there last weekend! Too bad some others couldn't make it, Jeff, Mony, Mucci, Sean, and more. Hope you get out there again soon, Nate, Jer and Mooch, & Thanks Mooch!! Too, the gatoritas are a great traditional drink for the Eyeyieyie!

Yes, fine crew indeed, and glad I wasn't the only one to snap a pic of the purple sky on my way out - good one Munge. I'll see if I can get to uploading a few pics to share tonight.
Sorry it wasn't in the cards for Ger and I to meet up this time Justin. One day went way too fast for me, but I'll savor it for quite some time.

I definitely plan on making it into those parts this summer/fall. Hopefully multiple trips.
The place is perfect, in just about every regard.
EDIT: Cool meeting Nate at the Fleet Week last year...of all places! A coincidental meeting at that!!!!
Weird.

Hey now, I tried to help out on one of those rigs. We had a gear misfunction. I thought I was kinda privy to one of those routes too. An older 'Ishun' route we once attempted.
But it's kev's call who he takes up it. His line.

Banquo - As of last weekend, there was way too much snow at the start of the forest service road to LE to begin to drive down it. Have doubts how accessible it will be only a week later, but look forward to hearing about it if you head that way.
We are not sure where to go yet this weekend but have heard of folks heading to Big Sleep and the Gray Eagle area.

Nice pics all!
Last weekend Big Sleep had a big snow drift blocking the road just before the last turn in. There is also a huge tree down. It's doable but the hike is longer. Big Sleep approach trail still had a long snowdrift section through the trees too. It has been really warm so it will be interesting to see how quick this stuff is melting. I am sharpening my chainsaw and plan on clearing the tree sometime this weekend.

Awesome Nate! Here are a few from yesterday. After work Jeremy and I went up to Chilkoot to do some laps at the toprope area. In places the snowdrifts are still 4 feet deep. High Eagle area is going to be a while.

Kev,
If you want to protect your elbow you can use my bosch to drill that bolt. Leaving soon for the ridge.

Yeah, I don't know why you guys don't use more power-drills up there, because you can.
I understand the hand-drilling ethic thing, but c'mon!!!! Lotsa cool routes were put up with batteries. And elbows were spared....
Kev! borrow the frakin' drill. Drill, baby, drill!!!!
