Zeno, When I went up there a few years ago ('99?), if you came by the RS after hours you could self-permit if you were going to camp in the less popular areas, like not in Boston Basin, like over in Boston Glacier area. The next night you could sleep anywhere you pleased (i.e. Boston Basin). So we just made it a point to come by the Ranger Station after hours.

Climbed Backbone Ridge on 6/24. It is in good shape, no water anywhere. Rock is dry and grippy. There is some snow in the gully leading up to the Fin, but you can easily get around it. You can easily avoid the snow on the 3rd class beginning. Great easy plunge stepping down the couloir leading to the top of Colchuck Col.

Colin and Caveman climbing ROTC. That's what I wanna see, maybe followed by Pope and Dwayner. Thatta'd produce a good trip report.

Bonzo??!? --- Grrrrrrrr

Hey Bob, I wnet and climbed the Tooth. I did that sequence of little holds up the final headwall. I am spraying about it. I don't care what you think, but I do enjoy pissing you off by chestbeating about my latest accomplishment.

Dude, you should just go for the Tooth. It rules. It'd be a scramble for you. A poster huh? That sounds lame . What's their problem? If they don't like Exit 38 they should just go to the Tooth and mind their own business. [ 06-22-2002, 06:12 PM: Message edited by: chucK ]

Did Peter Puget withdraw his Soltsice get-together at Index when he left the board?

You guys are a perfect pair, a marriage of convenience made in heaven. Dave needs transpo, Rodeo needs dough! Have fun up there guys. Dave, Make sure Rodeo picks you up and gets you home on time. Rodeo, Make sure Dave coughs up for the vehicle depreciation.

Harness pack? That sounds like a cool idea. Does it have gear loops on it?

Chris, If you leave 'biners when bailing 'cause you can't pull the crux, then those 'biners are booty. Molly does not have to give them back, nor the yellow Alien and #1 Camalot you left. [ 06-20-2002, 07:15 AM: Message edited by: chucK ]

Mattp, I think you have both 60's and 48's

The only thing better than a yellow alien is an old (out of print) WC #6 Stopper with the stock peach tape. They suck though now that they changed the color of the tape .

Reminds of the time I brought old cloth diapers down to The Rock one damp day for drying off my rock shoes. I'd offer them to other boulderers to use but when I told 'em what they were noone was interested ?! I washed 'em first, really

Someone told me it's all happening at the Zoo.

Cool! Peter Puget is gonna show at a Pub Club! Pope! Pope? What about you?

Though I have never frequented either establishment in question, I can sincerely say, without a doubt in my mind and without the smallest bit of hyperbole, that The Zoo totally and clearly kicks ass on the Alki all the way down the block and around the corner.
