A group of ten of us did the Worm Flows route on July 1. There was a story in the Spokesman-Review yesterday with a video link too. The story is here:

All in all, a great day. The snow was superb corn, soft and buttery. We didn't get sticky until about the last 500' of vertical. I wanted to share this here since there's a reference to TAY as a source in the article that appeared in the paper. I'd post some pictures but haven't quite figured out how that part works.

Nick BC, Snowbell and I were just ahead of GoldMember's group. Here is a shot that I took of them before they removed their skis from their backs.
I like the article's giving credit to the cameraman's lugging of extra gear and making "double-time" to catch up with crew. Good shot of some of the glide cracks that are probably very present now...Props to the 70 yr old too! I hope I can still nail St. Helens when I'm 70! Whomever was busting out the tele in the video was doing a heck of a job too.
