If you try to avoid the mozzies, you get snow and ice...

We climbed Liberty Crack round about '97 (can't check as I haven't got my diary here - I'd been dreading the badly protected face above the big roof, but was very pleased when I found that it had just been retro-bolted, so that might date it) It would have been end of September, just after a brief snow storm. Didn't look quite like that though! I remember the descent was snowy almost to the road. Must go back to the Cascades sometime. Ah, so many places, so little time...

Liberty Crack! Duly impressed.
The cascades are absolutely phenomenal. And consider that the walk-in when they were first developed made todays often heinous walk-ins look like childs play. Although the Liberty Bell group is the proverbial roadside crag nowadays. 3 tries to do the Beckey route. Eventually just sucked up the mozzies (literally) and did it in the summer proper.
Totally sandbagged on a Beckey route on Kangeroo Tower. Retreated from an unprotectable slightly damp groove in a state of confusion. And only just got back to the road before dark.
Good brew pubs too.....
