Still here unfortunately. Got a damn grant deadline. Non-profit work is killing me! Twoo many hours, too little pay...

Too bad there is a burning ban for the enitre Leavenworth Area right now. No campfires allowed in the pay camping areas at all! Place is a tinder box right now. Hope this weather doesn't continue until Rope Up, other wise no bonfires for that event either! Better pray for Rain!

I am being sarcastic, but have had a GF on and off for 3 yrs. The main thing we fight about is me leaving every weekend to go climbing. Or it is hunting in the late Fall, and fishing in the Spring, and then climbing in between hunting and fishing weekends. I just do not enjoy going shopping, or picnicing, or taking walks, or having lazy days. She tells me that, " If you stay at home on a sunny day, you feel like you have wasted that day, when instead you should just be happy that you arer spending the day with me." Are all women like this? Am I being too selfish? Or are we just really different?

Who would have thought that Larry the Tool would be patrolling 15 miles down the Icicle at 10pm on a Saturday night! I figured we were Golden trying to poach the pulloff with the "no camping" and "no tresspassing, private property" signs on the tree above the car!

I say that next time you talk with him, tell him your intentions. That you were trying to do him a favor, and that if he doesn't want the rope, then you will be glad to turn it into a dog leash for fluffy, a tree swing for the neighborhood kids, a boat hangar for the kayak in the garage, a tow rope for the back of the pick up, and a rope ladder for training in the back yard. Screw him. Then I'd call the guide co. he works for and explain how much money this guy is wasting. If he is this careless about the guide services equipment, I am sure this isn't the first piece he has casually left behind and not takne the responsibility to get back.
Secondly, can you tell me where this guy often guides so I can follow his group around whenever I am boired hoping to pick up some free Booty?
Stephan, you are either a liar or a lazy person if you find booty on Wilman's and refuse to take out a few slings b/c they are too heavy or you feel guilty. Believe me, the booty you find, people have no idea they left it, where they left it, or would be willing to go all the way back into the alpine to get it. Either that or it took a dinger from 4 pitches up and they have no idea where it landed or its location, so they consider it gone. Therefore it belongs to whoever finds it. I figure you will lose gear and you will find gear. Unless it is really expensive stuff, then I just keep it for passive use. Biners are good for racking pro, slings are good to use around the house, or rack pro. You can find all sorts of things out there!

We just slept at a trailhead way down the dirt road after the pavement up Icicle Creek Rd. ends. You are allowed to camp on the right side of the dirt road (the mountain side), but it is against the law to camp out between the road and the creek unless in a pay campsite. GOod luck in finding a place. My suggestion is to go hang out and pick up a local and stay at her place!

I first climbed at camp in NC. Liked it but just thought of it as a cool thing to do. Then a climbing gym came to my home town and started going on a regular basis. That progressed into weekend trips up to NRG and learning how to lead sport. Still never did anything more than one pitch routes in the 5.9 and 5.10 range. I spent most all my time with soccer, every season, and into college. After my senior seson in college (coach would not let me climb during season, so I could only boulder on the 29 miles of sandstone cliffs that was my college campus) I climbed every chance I got. Having places like Foster Falls, T Wall, Sunset, and the campus with its miles and miles of endless cliffs in some cases a 5 minute walk from your dorm room, made it very easy to blow of classes. We even had a cold spell come in that winter and got our porffesor to skip his own class with us to climb ice!
Stayed up on the mountain that summer specifically to climb. Moved to JH and got into alpine. Ice that winter. S. America for big glacier slogs up the Andes.
Moved to PNW and spent time at Smiff, local areas around Eugene, and at least 5 weekends in the N. Cascades every summer. Just finished number 4 last weekend for this summer, supposed to attempt Triumph this weekend, but weather not looking good
. I started at that gym back home in 1992. Been climbing since, but did not play much in my life in 1998. I love it all.
I guess one can say you are dedicated where you leave every weekend to go climb, spend all weekend there, and drive back in the wee hours of the morning to start work. Work gives me the aqbility to get out and climb in other areas.
You could even do one of those Jeff Foxworthy, "If you_____, you might be a redneck." Things except for climbing.
For me if you drive 14 hours to do a climb that takes 5 hours, you might be a climber.
Or, If you are willing to drive from Eugene to Lilloet, BC jsut to climb some ice on the weekend (Friday-Sunday), you might be a climber.
Others? I could come up with a million of these! Let's put out a book!

No worries, Muffy! I am just having fun too. Can you tell I am opinionated today? I could start an argument with a wall just for the sake of arguing. God, when is 5:00 gonna come?

A good ol' boy is not defined by the amount of wealth one does or does not have. It is based on a persona, an attitude, and likes and dislikes. There are plenty of both wealthy and poor individuals who meet the criteria and who do not. I do not know why you keep referring to me as wealthy, which I am far from. I am not my parents and they do not treat me any differently then I would suspect anybody else's parents treat them.so what do you call a rich boy who wants to be a good ol' boy ?? -
That's the word on the street!does that mean muffy has?
-
Women that hang around a good ol' boy are typically atractive, articulate, and are always up for having a good time. Women who hang around the WT redneck variety are just that- WT.

There is a clear difference between a good ol' boy and your typical run-of-the-mill PWT trailer park redneck. A good ol' boy can be found quite often hangin' with the boys, fishing down by the river drinking a pabst or sippin on a good kentucky bourbon. A Good ol' boy is also quite fond of hunting, and can be found roasting a pig in the back yard many weekends out of the year. A WT redneck is most often found on Jerry Springer. Please don't confuse the two.

It's a conspiracy between Anna and I!

Only one on the list who would make a true "Good ol' boy" list is probably Sisu, and maybe Greg. Where I come from, y'all ain't mean enough or redneck enough to be classified as good ol' boys. Trask, sittin' on your dock and sippin' on a high life might get you close, but you are still missing something. Send me a pic with you, your High Life, a wife beater, and a pair of jorts ('Neck for 'jean shorts') and I will concur with you being on the list. Also, you ain't flyin' the stars and bars off your dock. Why not? Slacker! Heading out to go sight in my 7mm .08 for the upcoming season.

Snow Creek Wall has fallen down. Do not go there. Also, tons of rattlesnakes up the trail to where Snow Creek Wall used to be. About 2-3 climbers/hikers per day were coming to the hosiptal suffereing from rattlesnake bites. Turn around before it is too late! No reason to go to Snow Creek Wall. Also heard the Enchantments were about to fall down too. Do not go there. Just boulder in and around Leavenworth and you should be safe.

Gawd, my bad on my last comment. Was thinking of someone else!!!!!!

O.K. I've been searching on the Internet and keep getting differing statements regarding what forms of ID you need to get into Canada. I am headed up to Johnstone Straight on Vancouver Island next weekend for some sea kayaking and my girlfriend doesn't have a passport. Can she get by with a driver's license, a birth certificate, and SS card? Or are we screwed?

Other scramble routes in the Tetons: NE side of NEz Perce and anywhere on the North side of Cloudveil Dome where there is a break in the mountain. Can be some loose stuff up there. Also NW side of S. Teton is an easy scramble.

Suggestions for easy climbs in the North Cascades?

What about Black Peak? Not too long of an approach and good climbing. Can be a bit rough in the scree areas but not technical. For an overall ambiance, I'd go with Sahale. Try and get the permit, there were a lot left a few weekends ago on a Saturday afternoon for a sunday. If you are going this weekend though, forget it as it is the holiday weekend. I'd wait until the following weekend. For a shorter approach, could always do S. Arete of SEWS. Only one 5th classmove right at the start and then an EASY scramble to the summit. Super-easy approach too.
