me.....a snide jerk? whatever dude

death threats are so suck, but have I got my share as well. cavey is opinionated because they are friends i have met adamson and he seemed friendly to me in person, yet comes across pretty harsh in emails. just take a look at my discussion board and see how him and prankygirl go at it.

I got a half dozen or so images of you guys climbing if you want em. Send me an email and I send them your way

those gullies, scree, slabs, and sandy benches absolutely drained us that is the most exposed climbing I have ever done. it will be there next year for us

That was us, and yes we did bail. We left the parking lot at 530am thinking we could do that route in a day. We lolly gagged too much. We bailed at the top of the 2nd gendarme (start of our 5th pitch?) since it was getting so late. Tons of booty up there for anyone who wants it! 16 hours car to car and no summit How was your climb?

The self belay grip that is taught in many mountaineering groups is a real bad habit. I am so used to the self arrest position that any other way does not feel right.

LUMMOX makes no point, lummox idiot.. i go climb ERD now, goodbye

What about Retro? JERRY SANCHEZ? Me? To The Top!

To go up o-rock w/o the ice climb seems like a masochistic trip. Might as well do St Helens at the end of summer the next day as well, and then maybe Boston Peak!

Page top for Gary, shout it out Dude!

Yes, it's a low level alpine ice climb. You'd have to be a real moron to go up there and "summit" ORock just by climbing up the choss, that's a total waste of time unless your a peak bagger that loves scree and shit. Maybe you should read the entire thread, unless your eyes can't see that well anymore old timer........

Gonna try for the ERD once again this Monday, anyone else heading up there this weekend?

rap whenever possible. I hate to rappel, i hate it I don't think anyone should be lowered or TR'd off the chains. I did it a few times when I first started climbing outdoors, and then i noticed normal wear and tear on chains at vantage and exit 38 and it kind of freaked me out. I have also noticed some people like to use the chain links as anchors. meaning they clip the QD's or lockers into the 3rd, 4th, or even the last link instead of the hanger. At least I was told that is bad as the links are not as strong as a hanger or eye(?) bolt.

First Responder Took a health class in school last year and had no idea I was getting trained to be a FR. Pretty cool though

True Dat

Yup, go past ida creek and such somewhere around 14 miles in the icicle creek road and look for the pulloffs on the creekside. Lotsa free stuff. Even more above Rock Island on the other side of the creek once you go over the bridge and past the pay sites

So how many people are helping with this? I would be more than willing to help Count me in

Looks like John is being released right now from the hospital. I am not sure if he is gonna consider Harborview Alison, but thank you for your concern and suggestions. Dr Barker was his surgeon and his sub speciality was the ankle I guess, but I will let John know about your ideas for sure.

Shut Up Start your own post in Spray if you want, this thread is a "Get Better Soon thread"

No ledge, just hit the slab with his left heel and ankle.

He fell, that was it. It was a good belay. His foot was maybe 1 foot above the last bolt so he did not go very far. The doctor said it was just hit in the right spot, and a clean break.

Your a piece of shit Lummox, that's going a little too far

So I forgot to post about the original topic........ The 4 good sam's were Ryan and Marcy from Seattle, and Ben and Tracy from Bremerton. Thanks to Elum and Mike Linde who also helped us with the entire operation Thanks so much guys, we could not have done it w/o you! Chelan County Sherriff's Mitch and Matt were awesome as well, it was a textbook evac and could not have been done any better.

Update: Just spoke to John and the doctor said that he has a 75% chance that the bone will die and he will lose some movement in his foot. Not a good percentage IMO. But then again I had a 50/50 chance I was goinbg to lose my finger when I cut it off, but I beat the odds. Positive vibes for John folks, okay?
