Steins Pillar is now further up on my tick list thanx to this excellent beta. Damn but that thing looks impressive!!! Is the beta from the Beckey guide about the bee nests etc. still accurate? what about the free routes detailed in the Jeff Thomas Oregon Rock book?

I see from the headlines "Pope" is rethinking his dedication to trad climbing?

I think the real question is how much brush will I have on the way in? Please submit your climbing resumes and horsecock sizes before I consider the worthiness of your response. the pocket knife thing only works for canadians cause we are not allowed to carry sidearms. of course if a cougar is chewing on your head anmd you try to shoot it in the head and miss you could russian-roulette yourself!

I know, you're wondering if that's a promise or a threat. rock on! here is what i would define as good bush. i wouldnt mind bushwacking thru this at all!!!! yeah mountainman i hiked in through old growth forest with no snow the whole way. i bet that that has changed a lot in the intervening couple of years. i must have managed to hit it in the magical 5 minute period all year when the bush had gone to Mexico on vacation or something. i can tell it really pisses you off that i made it and you didnt so i am going to keep repeating that until i can think of something better to do

sportclimbers are neither ummmm no i mean retrobolt the beckey route ummm whatever?

how about the relevance of the fact i managed to climb TNF without encountering bush and you guys didnt

That wasnt a penguin it was a GREAT AUK...

gimli is described in Columbia Mts West and South (1992)guidebook, also in the july/august 2001 issue of Gripped and there is a trip report and photos on www.bivouac.com as well

whatever kids i have probably done more climbing than the both of you together as well as posting more spray than both of you could ever hope to in a lifetime I'm reminded of the story of the name of Mt. Fable: [the following quote is extracted from Bow Valley Rock and may be slightly misquoted] "An unsuccesful party having muddled around behind Exshaw for a goodly interval, claimed difficulties including horrendous bushwacking and difficult technical ground had prevented their ascent. The first ascent party named the summit after their successful ascent the following month encountered none of these difficulties."

quote: Originally posted by MountainMan: Well, I'll enlighten you a little Dru, on my plans this summer. I am planning on taking a 9 day trip into the Pickets with some well-known legends of NW climbing. One of these legends made the first "ascent" of Pioneer Ridge (one of the most remote portions of the Picket Range). This legend happens to be my father. Just because I haven't had the time or opportunity to get into the pickets yet, that doesn't invalidate my already prosperous climbing career. As for the top 100, I know several of the very few people who have already climbed the top 100 peaks in the state and it has become a goal of mine to climb them also. When I am finished with the top 100, I will start on the top 200. After that, the top 300. Everyone has their priorities ... these are mine. You really can't fault someone for doing what they want to do. In all actuality, you shouldn't even be questioning my desire to climb the top 100 peaks in Washington. It's really none of your business anyway. Concern yourself with yourself and you'll be better off in the long run. It sounds like what you need to do is get off the computer with your 5000+ posts and do something else worthwhile in life. Like climbing .. instead of meddling in people's business and acting like the authority on Cascade climbing.

sk did you ever see the movie about Ed Wood???

the only wool i wear is ANGORA

penguins are screwed i guess. the penguins in NZ and S Africa and S america and south georgia and kerguelen can carry on the breed. the snow is doomed anyways. global co2 levels, remember!

Hey Jon And Tim Im gonna report this post just to see if the damn thing works!!!

i am not slagging you or denying your right to chest beat but why the hell would anyone seriously pursue top 100s to the detriment of rad peaks like the pickets... are you some sort of ed veisturs groupie or something... what will you do once you climb the top 100, quit climbing and take up chess or knitting...? so we can summarize the previous 4 pages of posts as follows - 1) some areas of white salmon creek have bad bush 2) some areas dont Therefore: if you are approaching TNF of shuksan and you encounter bush YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY

ya see we were actually in the old forest like 20m from the edge of the clearcut...duh. mtn man ifn you have been cascade climbing for like 15 yrs how cum you have never been to goodell creek or whatever in the pickets that reputedly has way worse bush than white salmon?

try not posting the same topic to 2 different forums silly!!!
