Boy do I remember. I helped make that pile and then another and watch stuff melt out over the summer. The walls on the old cabin were 18'' of stone and mortar. The rafters there are 12''. Got to help make the new one too. So much for wilderness management, but then there is the rescue stash there for NPS. Aug 6, 2008

I passed the wreckage after some of the snow had melted and remember finding a lot of York Peppermint Patties. My buddy and I were able to graze for about and hour or so. Oct 6, 2008

7/4/04.

Meeker summit ridge.

Skiing Dreamweaver on Mt. Meeker. This line needs to get skied more! Only two 30m rappels are needed in the middle crux. You can can escape to skier's left at the top of the Flying Buttress Col and finish on the approach slopes to Darkstar, this avoids a rappel/downclimb in the lower Dreamweaver couloir.

Steve Line leading into the crux of Dreamweaver...we measured the slope at 60 degrees in the steepest sections.

Looking down from above the crux secition in the upper couilor.

Mid-way up the route.

The opening moves of Dream Weaver when the couloir gets narrow.

Looking at the first half of the route up to the bench between Meeker and Flying Buttress. December, 2003

Looking up at our second pitch. The rock step at the top was pretty big, but not too difficult. There was a pretty big "hole" underneath it, where the ice had melted away. Photo taken on the first day of summer, 2003.

'Sneaky' Pete Lardy getting into the first ice pitch on Dreamweaver

Brian entering the couloir where there is usually a chockstone to climb over. There is still enough snow there this season that there was no chockstone, or even rocky step, in evidence. June 5, 2005.

Conditions on April 17, 2004.

Brian climbing toward the first mixed step about 300' up into the couloir proper. Normally this is a rocky step, but this weekend it was covered almost entirely in snow with a little rotten ice and rock in evidence. He soon regretted the fact that I still hd the rope in my pack. June 5, 2005.
