Maybe I can set up a station at the bridge and sell numbers for Supa Slab and Bunny Farce. "Yes ma'am you are #132, your projected wait for Bunny Farce is 3 hours 27 minutes!"

quicklinks may be cheaper, but rap rings weight 1/4 as much

Oooh a "reserved route". Im going to get there 5 minutes earlier and gaper all over it with fixed ropes and portaledges and stuff.

I was reading this old Climbing mag and here I find someone named Robert Rogoz(belayer) describing Elie Chevieux "near onsight" of Badman: "He was skipping clips, falling, grabbing draws, and it was totally rad when he sent it!"

Thrill threatened to hit someone with #11 hex. Thats a threat of physical violence. Ban him! Like Cpt. Caveman was banned! Just because you got up at 3 in the AM does not mean you can't be passed by fast party got up at noon.

but from where we parked, it was more like 3 km... however it was the last 1 km that took 3 of the 3.5 hours

Climb: Robertson Peak-2nd ascent, via N glacier Date of Climb: 10/3/2004 Trip Report: Well I managed to re-injure my shoulder again last weekend. Rope Up was out unless I wanted to belay all weekend. I could think of more fun, especially with good weather. So Don, Steve and I planned a trip off to attempt Robertson, highest and most remote of the Chehalis summits, with only one recorded ascent. Robertson is 7400'/2250m. It lies SW of the head of Harrison Lake in an obscure and rarely visited area. There are many other nice peaks around. Most saw their only ascents to date when Doug Kasian went on a peak bagging rampage in the late 1970's. We drove up Saturday morning. After some exploratory poking around up various road spurs we picked a line and started hiking. Hey, look! Chehalis bush! It took us about 3.5 hrs to hike 3km of which the last km took 3 hours. The final bit consisted of steep rock with blueberry bushes up which we vege-aided. But there was a nice lake and granite basecamp above. Next day we set off for the summit. Up the NE ridge we went. Steve liked the rock. Jordop had been invited along but declined because he thought the rock was going to be bad. Can't win em all I guess. After climbing to this 2011m gendarme the ridge ahead looked steep and time consuming and would have required a rappel so we bailed to the N glacier instead. Some easy glacial ice and a snow walk got us up to the summit. Approaching col between the summits. On the summit there was no cairn. Not unexpected because the first and only previous ascent was in Feb of 78 and the summit was probably buried under snow. But the lack of any cairn was still welcome because we figured that meant we had made the second ascent. Certainly another ascent has never been recorded in the literature or online. The views were pretty good. This is looking into the chehalis. Trio Spires at left and Clarke group towards the right. Eventually it was time to go back to camp. This is looking down at camp. We were set up by the lower lake. Pk. 2011m is the prominent gendarme at right. We left the summit at 2:30 and got back to camp near 5. After a quick brew up we packed and took off. We found a route down that traded slide alder and devils club for overhanging tree downclimbing, krummholz swimming, gully downclimbing and a 20m vertical rappel. We got into open forest near dark and didnt have to put headlamps on until fairly late in the game, crossing the creek and beginning the final slide alder push to the road. Back to the car at 8:30. Sasquatch Inn at 11:30. Home at midnight. Too tired to drink a beer then. That means I can drink two now! This was awesome trip. Thanks Steve and Don. Gear Notes: rope, crampons, ice axe, 4th class skillz Approach Notes: Tipella Creek road. Slide alder. Devils club. Blueberry bushes. Etc.

wow KNOBe...you are truly a knight in shining armor...an example of chivalry in this age of chauvinism... you prolly beat the chix off w/ a stick since they are coming on so thick??? real man doesn't need to usea stick to beat the chix off. he uses ONE FINGER

You can bet your ass I wont go quietly Making a noise in the world.

they have big wall climbs in the Gunks?

Dontthink either NF of Welch or Foley, or the Still for that matter, have been climbed let alone in winter.

At least MY Avatars can spell.

Y

shit dude i get tied up every day... in traffic stupid stupid Fraser Hwy left-turning truck drivers!

you may refer to me as DOMINATRIX MUFFIN meow

Fire?! But what about the harmful pollutants released when paint, rubber, fuel and metal burn???

you just need enough syrup. but if you think it won't work do you volunteer your vehicle for a test?

All the answers so far have been inadequate. When climber complains about ruined headspace after being followed up Karate Crack, your proper response is to say "Well won't this mess with yo po lil head then!" and free solo Firing Line. Then rip shirt off to reveal corporate logo on chest, yell loudly to disrupt send-sessions from there clear over to Phoenix, and make quick base jump.

Is an O thread something like the Oh Face?

If you don't like the noise you can always ask for your MONEY BACK

tuff as nails

let them use horsecock if they don't like our noise

Didn't Mike Layton already name a route Sine Your Pitty etc. Is this some sort of "Bellinghamster in joke"?
