Great, if I don't run into you guys earlier, I'll see you in the parking lot around, dark or dark thirty.

I am gonna be out at Index tomorow evening about 6:30 to climb a couple of routes rain or shine and then drink a couple of beers with ANYONE who has a pulse and can give me a belay.

No chuck, I would go to one on the eastside but I sure as hell aint driving to the "big city" just to drink beers with you guys. I am not that committed to the cause. I really don't care, just stirring the pot a little. BTW- if anyone is drinking on the eastside tomorow, let me know.

of course I noticed that right after I posted on this one. more coffee!

I just thought (my first time) that I would add to the multitude of Pub Club topics to... ahh.... well just be a smarty pants. I think it's Everett's turn anyway you Seattle hijackers.

i think he meant the very first (1st) pubclub of May you silly bastard.

This weather makes me want to go to Index more than ever and stand around having a beer in the parking lot. Snowball Fight! not really.

big wet flakes coming down in Everett this morning. Any snow up there Dru?

It seems like I used to find ropes, pro, ice axes and whatnot on e-bay. Now it is mostly CRAP (knives, stickers, posters, books, movies) check it out if you want. ebay rock climbing kinda funny stuff today, check out the "climbing cleats" and the "rock climbing nude" video. So, anybody else notice this decline in actual climbing stuff or am I doing something wrong with my search?

I am kinda curious about that last comment, Erik - Does your boss object to you spending countless hours of company time on the web or something?

There are several cracks at the lower town wall at Index you can walk up to and mess around on. The first pitch of the Great Northern Slab goes at 5.0 with lots of good nut placements and bomber bolts at the top for rapping. Get John Long's Climbing Anchors book.

eastside pubclub here (gapers only)

Since there seems to be some interest, and it is the Eastside's turn, beer guzzleing will be held at the index parking lot next week. If it rains then we can go to the index tavern. I am not too excited about drinking and climbing, but, will readily drink after Libra crack removes the skin from my hands. As Matt suggested earlier, bring your own poison.

BYOB and the first people there get to set up the TRs on all Godzilla and all those LTW classics. Seriously. I LIKE THIS IDEA!!!

quote: Originally posted by Son of Caveman: i'm diggin' that idea. heh, boy george is my 2nd. cousin, can i bring him for some campfire singalong action?? "do you really want to luv me??" no, banjo muzak only.

I am not hacking on anybody in particular, maybe Erik, but, all this philisophical crap makes me want to go commune with nature (not really). I climb 'cause it's fun and it's good for you. And all the KEWL people you meet.

quote: Originally posted by dbb: .....I would say that with the super warm conditions that we've been having that the rock would be pretty snow free, except for anything horizontal. Bring maybe one short axe for the long snow runout on the 2nd pitch 4th class bit, and bring your usual rack, for the climbing is much the same (especially if you climb it in boots during the summer).... I was dissapointed to see this is still good advice as of yesterday afternoon as I sat attop the first pitch in my rock shoes trying to figure out how to use a big hex to chop steps. If you are planning on going anywhere around here, bring some type of floatation devices for the approach. Also surprised that we saw nobody above Source Lake on a sunny spring day

The Tooth!!

DONT YOU HAVE SOME LARGER PICTURES????

Sorry dru, I should have clarified, I was wearing a pink tu tu and Canucks jersy, they go well together. Not a literal spanking, but, a figurative one, get your mind outa da gutter holmes. I think that Larry the Ranger should be forced to wear one of those leather masks.

I kid you not, I got spanked at Index by a guy in January wearing levi 501's and a black leather jacket. Not that out climbing me is anything to write home about, but, still funny.

Maybe it was BIG LOU!!
