Errata

Two books in which I've found microerrors recently:

Pacific Northwest: Land of Light and Water is a book featuring some spectacular photography by Art Wolfe. (See it on Amazon.) Pages 38-39 feature a gorgeous alpenglow spread of Mt Rainier's west side. The caption reads, "Mount Rainier at Sunrise." But such gorgeous alpenglow on Rainier's west side and Sunset Ridge is definitely the result of "Mount Rainier at Sunset."

Selected Climbs in the Cascades Volume II by Nelson and Potterfield has a photo on page 39 that has the glaciers incorrectly labelled. (See it on Amazon.) The photo shows "South Tahoma Glacier" where it should show "Success Glacier." It also reads "Success Glacier" where it should read "Kautz Glacier."

Selected Climbs also features a stunning view of Kumquat Couloir over and behind Bill Pilling in the background of the photo on page 154.

Interesting coincidence that both involve p. 39.

Merci pour l'histoire, Christophe!

Ad Nauseam

Apologies to anybody that's beginning to feel like I'm a one-trick pony. This seems to be my redundant ritual:

1. Post forecast, especially one that shows bad weekend weather either followed or preceded by perfect weekday weather.
   
2. Ski a line on Rainier during said good weather.
   

Here is how I plan to make amends. I will repeat my ridiculous first step, just because the seven-day pictorial prognoses always seem so uncanny with their weekend weather woes. Here it is:

But this time, I'm not going to Mt Rainier. The North Cascades are calling. I could even handle a trip to BC. (Also, Sunday looks good enough for a foray with the weekend warriors.) Now who wants to go skiing?

Success

BOHICA, indeed.

Friday looks like the pick of the litter. Apologies to all desk jockeys.

Breakfast:


Ain't that right, dawg?

Altitude Sickness

I'm surprised that I didn't get it yesterday while traversing Rainier and performing shenanigans on Sunset Ridge. Maybe SkiSickness is the cure?

Oh yeah, how'd it go, Lefty?
