PAGE TOP! Lead easy climbs that you have TR'd many times, (i.e. 5.4-5.7). Place gear on TR as you climb, find the sweet spots for the gear, then climb the route. Find a good belayer Find a route that is not meandering, and more straight up so you dont have to worry about runners. Some good routes in Leavenworth that you might check out: Clamshell Cave: Noisy Oyster Keep Clam Barney's Rubble 5.6 Lieback X-Y Cracks (short & easy routes 5.5-5.7) Just a few thoughts........

Since we were down at Ida Creek this weekend, I was not able to hook up with anyone, but curious as to where everyone climbed? We hit the Pearly Gates on Saturday am/pm, and then Clamshell Cave after that (saw ToTheTop and Jon there) Sunday we went to Fish Wall and then to Little Bridge Creek Rock. Good times, good weather. Did jERRY sAncHEZ get kicked by the fire by anyone? Was there a midnight climb? [ 10-20-2002, 09:01 PM: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

Not like my rodeo can go that fast, but from everett it takes me exactly 2 hours, as it is 100 miles exactly from I5 and Hwy 2 [ 10-16-2002, 11:22 PM: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

Rad! My smith rock trip got cancelled, I might have to stop on by BGC in a cougar suit, hit some gravity bongs, and then go climb at XY crack! Anyone plan on climbing the PG's on Saturday? I'll be there for sure, as well as Marley Wall! Sunday? Hmmmm........ Castle Rock? Careno?

quote: I take it this isnt real ice people will be climbing (except for TTT)? Is it styrofoam? (damn! That word looks funny....styrafoam, stirofoam, foam, fome..... )It is styrafoam (sp?) It's pretty cool, and there are mixed routes, and they just installed a cool new large icicle feature for the first roof. Check out someday I'll see you on sunday lawgoddess!

The real stuff, you mean your headin back to the Big 4 Ice caves for some nice ice dome craggin? We'll meet you there after Del Campo! Bring your tools!

quote: I heard that Scot'etzl sold his Mt. Si cougar story to Paramount for Vertical Limit 2!I did! Made a quick $11, wait until you see the scene where I jump off the summit lookout bench and land on the dirt with 2 tools in my hand. The altitude does not affect me! Instead of Nito I have nitrous and fill up balloons for everyone who makes the lowest summit in Washington!

I hear that scot'teryx wanker is going to be there, sean issac is no big deal - scot'agonia is the real shit. I hear he can climb m000000000000003

I hate snow lakes trail, you lose an extra 2000 vertical feet or something like that, and you gain that as well going in. Why not start at colchuck at 3000+ feet instead of 1300' for snow lakes? Aasgard is not that bad, especially now, since the scree will be solid from freezing temps and the runoff on the pass, as last year at this time when i did the one day traverse, it was solid scree that was frozen. I plan on going up to the upper enchantments this weekend and I amgoing asskicker pass for sure.

There seemed to be so many boulder problems up there on some of those boulders just right off the trails, I'd wouldnt be surprised if there were just a ton of classic problems up there. Wont catch me hauling anything less than I have to up that evil snow creek trail But, the boulders at the bottom of Aasgard Pass have some potential eh? Thanks for the biner again Tex! my friend appreciates it watch out for cougars smokin in the hut!

quote: Are you referring to the "first pitch" If so, everyone free'd it, though it was a little tricky with a rope in one hand.Not the first pitch, plus we took the right side version of that pitch that gained the ridgeline below the 5.7 slab pitch. We were able to complete the climb in 3 pitches. We did not take the direct 5.8 leg eating crack to the summit as I watched someone in front of us do it and it looked totally awkward. The 5.4 chimney that was around the corner on the top was easy but not too exposed, only had to put in 2 pieces on that last pitch, it was just too much fun. We started that pitch in the hand crack that had the blue runner in it.

quote: Originally posted by fern: thanks for the TR Scott. I think it's the first one anyone has posted here for that route and answered some questions I had. I like the photos. I plan on getting a good tr up on my site soon as I can, as other tr's are kind of vague, but Nelson's book is the best, but as much as I thought having beta for the route was necessary, it isn't. You just climb the ridge and that's it. Variations are there, and there was one crack i really wanted to do but it looked 10a or something. Does anyone know? Its on the last pitch below the 5.6 flake pitch, and is on the south side, total handcrack in a dihedral with little feet it looked like, and it gains the ledge below the summit.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: I thought you downclimbed N side, what is rappel route, optional or what? To keep with cc.com tradition I will ask Scotty if he saw any cougars up there????? Downclimbing the North Side would suck, and we had to do that inbetween one rap station but that was it. There were a few goat trails but I think they were for goats only No Tigers, and no mountain goats as well, I have still never seen a mountain goat
