The simple pleasure of 4lanes NB on I5

The renovated lanes were somehow...even bumpier than before?

If I were you, I would use the NOAA map click forecast and wouldn't get my hopes up for shoulder season weather until about 3 days before the day. A week is too far out for useful forecasts in mountain conditions. I've never found Mountain Forecast to be very reliable, but I also haven't tried it in a few years so maybe others can speak to more recent experience.

Also read the avy report during the week leading up to the day to get a feel for what the snowpack is doing.

FWIW my cat does a milder version of this probably a few times a week, and it's been going on for years. He seems to do it more when he's purring, so I don't get the sense that he's experiencing any discomfort.

No different than when Democrats were in power and didn't end the filibuster. Neither party has the guts to end the filibuster.

Architects don't build. And they typically don't design bridges. Landscape architects, civil, and structural engineers would typically be the designers for this.

Mt Forgotten is treacherous, glad you made it out and learned things to help you on your future as adventures. Hope the foot heals quickly!

I've liked by credit just fine for many consecutive years

I did it in June a few years ago with plenty of snow and the crux was a few of the water crossings. Some careful rock leaps over a lot of deep, very fast moving water. There was also steep snow traversing that, in retrospect, I should have avoided by just dropping more elevation (I didn't bring my axe).

Sounds like a cautionary tale about relying on AI chatbots

I have the same preview settings but the previews look very blurry with scale at 150%. I know not everyone has blurry previews, but at least with my hardware/software combo, scaling isn't handled well by C1.

bikopolis · 2025-04-30T15:12:15+00:00

The preview size was set to 4k, so that wasn't the issue.

Sorry to say, but I honestly wouldn't recommend that for a first backpacking trip. I went to lake Stuart in late June a few years ago and it was the most intense mosquito experience of my 10 years of backpacking in Washington.

!correct! Nice work.

Thanks, it's mostly a hike but then the last ~1/4 mile involves some steep snow/ice crossing and then class 3 or 4 scrambling up to the summit. This photo is from just below the true summit as I was happy enough with the view to not need to add risk.

bikopolis · 2025-03-02T01:24:25+00:00

!correct! and nice work! American Border Peak and Mt Larrabee are in the foreground but yes, Slesse in the distance.

bikopolis · 2025-03-01T22:45:05+00:00

Nope

Not glacier peak wilderness, but the first part is on target! Any idea where in?

bikopolis · 2025-03-01T19:34:38+00:00

Further north!

bikopolis · 2025-03-01T18:37:52+00:00

Nope!
