Thanks Bearqueen. The views were most certainly excellent, one of these days it would be nice to have you come along for a scenic trek into the North Cascades. Hope things are going well for you.
Thanks! It was a very interesting experience, although I said most of what went on during the trip, it still feels like a summary of all that happened on this mountain.
Thanks etsnyd! Your profile says it right on "The Great State of Washington". I was very pleased that the clouds had lifted and we were not clouded over the whole time. But even if we were, it still would have been an amazing experience. After all, to me that is the most important part of mountaineering.
Well Gimpilator is someone who goes on as many "crazy adventures" as myself. But yeah, not that many are willing to climb all the time even when given the opportunity.
Thanks Gimpilator! I certainly recommend that you visit this mountain some day, we have had a few great adventures together so far this summer. I hope in the future I can still go out climbing as much as I have this summer.
Although it is a nice state, this summer has been especially cloudy. Even today it's been cloudy in the mountains. So if you don't mind the rain and cloudy weather, than this is a great part of the world to live in. For me I have learned not to mind cloudy weather.
During the month of July I had an outrageous amount of adventures, I'm sad to say its almost been a week since I been mountaineering which is a record amount of days out of the mountains since early June. But I plan on going on more trips soon. I would love to go to Yukon, but the passport deal is what is preventing me. As it is I have difficulties paying for my trips (and gear) which I spend just about every ounce of my cash on. But in the future I certainly plan on doing major climbs.
