Damn Snow

So if you look @ weather patterns throughout the US of A, pretty much most western states are in a serious drought. Colorado, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico. What about Washington and Oregon? Uh. No. Not quite. Not close. We've got so damned much water it's scary. Hell there is still SO much snow up in the Cascades. In fact, I've been here 13 years and I don't remember this much snow, so late...ever.

So Brian and I tried to climb a simplish route yesterday, kinda near Skykomish.

Uh...hello snow.
Don't you need to go?
I've been waiting for you to melt
Even if it's slow.

I'd like to do some climbing
Instead of this stupid rhyming
And this is how I've felt
You've got such shitty timing.

An hour up the trail, it was wet, raining, cold, and snow covered. Not sure if our climing season is a bust this year....Maybe good glacier climbing, but as far as the pure alpine pursuit....I'm skeptical.

Can anybody say Vantage? How about Smith Rock?
