Nice Jim! You got 420 too!! ;) I've never done the whole traverse. Tried once, we got weathered out behind decker for a day and elected to return rather than continue.
Maysho - are you familiar with a guy named Roman Dial from Alaska? I recall hearing about him doing some long way out there glacier traverses up in alaska on skate gear! He was (likely still is) a pretty fit dude. He competed in Eco challenges and was always in the top 5 due to fitness and excellent mountain skills.
By the way, the current record for the Spearhead traverse is just over 4 hours. I still don't believe it!
I thought Alex did it in 3 hours something Bruce? Maybe not...
I have two weekends free in Jan for the Duffy if you folk are interested. I'd love to check out steep ck. Also going on a solo mision to Mamquam Mtn tomorrow through Skookum Ck...
Not exactly shredding, more like plodding. Ferretlegger and I heading out Glacier Point road for some snow camping. We've been skiing a lot so we decided to snow shoe for a change. It was beautiful full moon but too freakin' cold (6 degrees at night) to pop out for pics. Also my camera battery discharged due to such cold so only a few pics.
Total gear hogs

12/30 back country on St. Helens in fabulous sunshine. 1/1 Mt. Hood Meadows. The thermometer said cold - but the sunshine and no wind made it glorious.

We invade Idaho soon, and whip through Whistler in April. Watch out - lady driver....
That video was painful to watch. If that was my goPro video it would have been deleted, not posted. My favorite part was his constant struggle with putting gloves on and leaving his own pair before going to rescue. Oh yeah and only one guy digging.
Let us know!
