alright good to know.................. what about the north butt couloir? Aidan

i know i am gunna get shit for this but whats up with all this bashing of people we dont know? seriously you guys are sounding like 's also i have noticed that people on this board talk lots of shit. i know its spray but come on guys. maybe work just got you down but lets stop this ego trip and get back to talking about something intelligent ok? BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Aidan

As a student in highschool i see my share of kids doped up on weed. last week a kid in my class went a smoked some pot with some friends...he came back and looked horrible...it looked like he was gunna seriously die, or blow chunks. Also as a person who has chosen never to touch the stuff, i question other people's motives for smoking....why the fuck would you do something that would harm your body huh? and people talk about they smoke weed and would never toucha cigerette....why not? when you smoke weed you are taking in 4X the amount of carsonegines(sp) as you would cigerettes. and also why would you harm your lungs in sports that demands great cardio stamia? now its your choice whether you smoke or not but dont do it inside a public building ok. its just not the thing to do. And want about the remark Phil made? what if a mother walked in to the hut with her young childeren? SMOKE IT UP BOYS Aidan,also a lame ass skier damn i posted this after reading the first page and then looked at the bottom and found that it was 8 long.....so sorry if it seems out of nowhere. haha [ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: highclimb ]

How much snow on colchuck peak?

i aggree with lambone if black diamond is still selling the black prophets go for them...they are a solid tool for both ice and alpine and since they stopped making them the price has shot down....the are some were around 130 a tool now i think? AIdan

So does any one have any pics of the route they can post? Aidan

hood? really? thers not alot in oregon! lol aidan

well the toilets in the enchanments are horrible. they smell, bugs breed there. i swear i got more bug bites on my ass in a matter of minutes that i had in the entire trip. Aidan

Hand down the toilet in Boston Basin! what do you guys think?! Aidan

alright Dan Smith and i were in the car driving back from an awsome day of climbing. the car was kinda quiet except for the radio blasting the Who, so i desided to make conversation. i am asked him what he thought the best summit view in the cascades was. we both aggreed that Forbidden Peak has a stellar view. i thought that ingalls is hard to beat on a clear sunny day you can see almost every major group in the range from Adams to baker and shuksan. another great one is Dragontail. with awsone views of the stuart range. so i would like to hear everyone elses perspective on this. Have at it! Aidan

ummmm.....DAMN!!!.

anyone done this route lately? any good/bad beta thanks Aidna

hey how about you do both...that is ice and rock.....Stuart Glacier Couloir is fanastic!....if its in shape you get more than 1000 of 50-80 ice/snow climbing...then when you meet up with the west ridge notch you get another 6 pitches of nothing harder than 5.6 on AWSOME rock! Aidan

ok well Dan Smith and I set off saturday morning at 7 from the parking lot. we arrived at the lake at about 8:30 and desided to head up the Dike/Chminey....this is what becky calls 3/4 class climbing to were it joins the east ridge. YEAH RIGHT! Dan headed up this thing which was low fifth class for alittle bit but then turned into (5.9 alittle overhanging crumbly rock) so we bailed. we should have gone with an idea we had thought of early in the day at ingalls pass. our idea was to just hike up the the lower part of the East Ridge of the East peak and climb it from there. it probably wound be the way i do it next time. oh well! so we hiked down and around back up to the gully below the notch of the North and East Peak and headed up the East Ridge of the North peak. This route was great! i dont know why people bother going up the south face. we got to the summit and lay around eating and soaking in the beutiful day. not a cloud in the sky. we scrambled down too the rappel anchors and saw that there were about 9 or 10 people on the south face.....we talked it over and just desided to down climb it. not difficult but make sure not to fall....because its a long way down. if i did it in the future i would probably lower while putting in pro and then belay the follower down....but it was to crowded.

anyone know the best route on this peak? if so beta would be great! whats the desent? thanks aidan

damn..no one

being a loser again and trying to keep this at the top of the board.....sorry thank you in advance for any information

ok well the weekend is looking shitty and i have a great idea. traverseing all three of ingalls peaks starting with the east peak and ending with the hik up the south peak. now my Q is this......my plan is to climb up the Dike/Chimney that connects to the east ridge of the East Peak and climb the east ridge to the summit. but for desending i would desend the Southwest face to connect with the East ridge of the North peak. any beta on my proposed Ascent route and Descent route? thank you very much Aidan

FUCK YEAH! Aidan Haley - Pholosipher, Poet, Visionary

For most short day trips: cell phone, asprin, maybe some big bandads

i was wondering is the west ridge of prusik would go? are you not allowed up there still? thanks aidan
