During the brief high pressure system in early February Jason Hummel and I did a 3 day traverse starting at Paradise and ending at Crystal.

Here is a TR I wrote on my website and here is a TR Jason wrote on his site.

Sorry it took so long and let me know if you want the specific route!
Words can not apply justice the the adventure of your trip!!
So I'll only use one word...Awesome!!
Great photos Jason. I would love to put a big picture of the AlpenGlow on the Whitman on the wall of the new room I built in my house. Just fantastic photography!!

Double extra nice !
I really liked that pic of Jason's looking back at Banshee .

Great trip. Great pics.
Great on you guys.

Awesome! Congratulations.

Thanks all, especially Kyle who forced me to get out on this excursion. It was a great adventure. Out of the traverses I've done, there are a few that are great in winter. This is one of them. It is up there with the finest high routes I've done. There was just gobs of skiing and cool mountain vistas. You can't beat getting a run on the Forest Queen Chair for kicks to end the trip with a few more turns at Crystal Mountain!

Joedabaker if you are interested in a print...what looks awesome and is ready to hang are canvas prints. They come in many different forms. Just google canvas wraps or prints in google images to see what they look like and write me an e-mail if you are interested. 


Very nice adventure!
