Thank you! Cheers. Jimbo

Get 'er dun y'all! Cheers Jimbo

I really hope that someone takes the initiative to do some safety trundling soon. I am working on the east coast until 8/11, but would happy to rap in and do some cleaning if still needed at that time. I've climbed in the Country a couple of times since the rockfall, but stayed away from the left side of the tunnel. Be safe. Cheers. Jimbo

Ever since you inserted yourself in the the cc.com community, I figured you would hurt or kill yourself with your reckless approach to climbing. BUT, to harm wildlife for absolutely no reason is fucking unacceptable! Here's to hoping karma bites you in the ass for this. Jimbo

I have done both the NE Butt & N. Rib, and enjoyed both. N. Rib is better IMO, but took much longer due to it being way more sustained. NE Butt is great for position. N. Rib is great for the climbing itself. Either way, the area is a must visit for any alpine climber. Have fun. Cheers. Jimbo

Great route! I'd go for it in August at this point. Dru (g-spot) is right, bushwack takes all of one minute. I thought the approach that tyree & I did was pretty chill. What a cool position for most of the route! Down on a rib, looking up at ridges and walls towering above, then the final headwall. Love it! Cheers. Jimbo

fenderfour said it. That's what it is. Some call what Huber's and other do, big wall free climbing, but big wall is generally aid/free/whatever to get up a BIG WALL. Cheers. Jimbo

It is not R rated! To fall off of the slab you would need to fling yerself off of it. Even then you probably wouldn't make it through the pleasant little meadow at the top of the first two pitches. IMO the glacier was the crux both times I've been out there. Have fun! Cheers. Jimbo

Right this moment...Snowing.

Well, I hope the access issues are/get resolved. I've been lucky enough to sample the pleasures of Nason, and it is gneiss! Thanks for the tour Eric!

Wow! Never thought I'd agree w/Dwayner 'bout anything, but like he & Frosty pointed out, first come, first served. Shit ton of rock out there people. Go check it out. Cheers. Jimbo

Stupid human tricks...

ACR has a new PLB, MicroFix. Smaller & lighter than previous models.

Sarkens for sure. Lighter and more versatile than the Saberteeth.

Climb mountain...avoid mushrooms. Got it. Thanks E! Cheers. Jimbo

Hey all. I'll be working in Sitka, AK for three weeks, 3/11 - 4/1, and am looking for some recreation/must do suggestions. I'll only have weekends. So, is it worth bringing my splitboard, climbing gear, other? I won't have a lot of time or money for boat or plane rides, so any familiarity with the immediate surrounding area would be great. Thanks for any info. Cheers. Jimbo

Just looked at it, no problems. http://www.nwac.us/products/SABSEA

So, just curious... Did y'all climb it, or what? Cheers. Jimbo

Right on. Hope to meet some of y'all Seattle sprayers. Cheers. Jimbo edited to add my first !

Yo. I'm working in Seattle this week. Always down with drinking beer & spraying. When and where is the action? Any day except Friday works for me. Cheers. Jimbo

Hwy 20 would be great, but kind of a death trap, eh? My votes: Glacier Creek Rd. (Heliotrope Ridge) cause I live in the 'Ham. Cascade River Road (a lot farther than currently open) Chiwawa or Teanaway River Rds. Cheers. Jimbo

Sweet E! Gotta love Paradise Forks. Cheers Jimbo

Doh! I'm not at home looking at my library, and the brain cells are lacking. Croft's book is definately the best for Sierra alpine goodness. Thanks for the reminder Mike. Cheers Jimbo

Moyiner (sp?) guide to the High Sierra, and R.J. Secor's Peak's, Passes & High Routes are the closest you'll find to Becky. I like Chris Mac's SuperTaco books, but others find them to have to much hand holding beta. These cover Tahoe, Yose, High Sierra, etc. JTree = Vogel Cheers Jimbo

Stars or recommendations are great for a quick hit at a new area. Say you're hittin' the Leap for a day during your travels. I want to get the most quality in in a short amount of time. That being said, it's usually pretty easy to get some good info from other climbers at an area. Often better than the respective guide book. Cheers. Jimbo
