I'll be there the whole month most likely, but at least three weeks...

guess we will be at the zoo with an inhaler and clothes that can be easily laundered.. [ 06-18-2002, 04:51 PM: Message edited by: hollyclimber ]

I vote for the Alki Tavern. There is much better parking and you can't beat the price for dinner. Wimpy burgers rock.

hey DUR-T, your autosig is broken...

This is funny! I hate birds! I am anti-Peregrin Falcon for sure...after all, I need some Negro Lesbian action and I didn't want to wait until July, then there was the great suspense for the Tramp in May, but luckily she had freed herself of the birds. I have been dying to setup my ledge, maybe Cavey will let me tag along. hgb

I don't think it is a hoax. People have talked about it for a long time. The hollow flake is the site of many accidents. But, I guess the only way to be sure is to go climb it. hgb

Check out this sh#t that was posted on rec.climbing, dated today May 22, 2002. --------------------------------------------- I just got an email from a friend who climbed the Salathe Route on El Cap this weekend. About halfway up the notorious, unprotected (even by large cams, though Big Bros would work), character-inducing Hollow Flake are a pair of big, fat 3/8" bolts. This completely changes the nature of one of the most famous pitches in American rock climbing. I wonder how long those bolts will last... --------------------------------------------- I know some of our posse are in the Valley now...maybe one of the DDD choppers can get to work on this?

Dru has the ticket. I never have to wait for routes.

I call it ledge-itis (my friend RumR used to say that years ago). No real recommendations except I tell myself that I am just being lazy and that the little holds above will be easy too, so get on them. hgb

Some dumb site that is picking the best websites... But, they allow write-ins, so if we all go there and write in CC.com, it would win. Of course, that would bring even more people who don't even climb in the cascades to our site, so forget it, don't vote... http://www.webbyawards.com/peoplesvoice/index.html

if you clean your bottle and fill it with water and take it in your carry on and drink out of it (if they try to take it away), they won't take it.... I don't do that, but I have a friend who does after he got his empty clean bottles removed from his packed and checked suitcase.

well, we know there was a personal aspect to the locking of the TC thread...he he he

Don't forget big walls as a category

Sorry we had to run last night... hope everyone had a fun time. I wished I could have stayed to enjoy - I didn't even get to have any wimpy burgers but I had another obligation. Maybe I will see some of you outside this weekend in whatever area looks like it will have the best weather. Holly

Hey Jules!I didn't have time to read everything that has been written, but I agree with pretty much everything I have read. My additional comment is that I am surprised (or was...now I expect it) that I can't get basically everything on REI.com. For example, you can't get the McNamara supertopo book. It seems like to me that irrespective of the selection in the store, the website should offer almost every product that people buy. I expected REI.com to be like Amazon. I don't really like shopping there, but I try to get something from them when I don't have time to go and get it myself. They pretty much never have what I want. Also, REI should have more big wall gear. They basically have none right now. What I think is funny is pretty much everytime I go to REI to buy something, they send me to feathered friends. Whether it be an Avocet altimeter watch when mine got ripped off last year or cord or webbing. And it is sad when a store like that runs out of any type of cord or webbing. You would think they know their own usage. Every year after the mountaineers basic course starts they are bone dry. hgb [ 04-03-2002: Message edited by: hollyclimber ]

Camp Hazard is deadly. Don't camp there! hgb

The plant would be only 9 miles from the park, towards Madras. This proposal is not dead. In fact, a second company has started making proposals for a power plant in Redmond. Its good that the Access Fund knows about the issue, but I am not sure yet what they are doing (I am going to find out). Also, there is going to be a meeting on the issue at Smith in April, so I will try to post the date of that meeting. Finally, I have a feeling that it would help the Stop Congentrix organization to receive some donations. So, be thinking about what kind of fundraiser we can do. Maybe I will get with the people who work on Spring Thing and see if we can do some sort of fundraiser then. This could really be huge...do you want to be on the backside staring at the mountains and the plume from the factory? I prefer just the mountains myself. If you want a copy of the packet of letters that all ready for you to modify and add your name, email me. While some are most appropriate for Oregon residents (i.e. letters to legislators) there are plenty of agencies that frequent out of state users can write to in good conscience. ask for the letters from me at hollyclimber@hotmail.com

ok. I guess I should have looked harder for the topic. it must be my destiny to go to pub club this week. Rodeo...yeah I guess I have no idea what day it is... See you all there tomorrow. hgb

Is there a pub club plan? How about Alki Tavern for Wimpy Burgers. 75 cents for burgers and good beer usually on tap. It would be great to see some people that I haven't seen in awhile...Jules, Beck, Alisdair, Dwayner... Who is up for it? Holly

hmm,me flirting with Cavey?obviously you just don't know me, and that's fine. After all, you are just a lurker with nothing climbing related ever posted to this site (I checked) Are you even a climber? hgb

hikerwa sorry I have been remiss on the pub club. I have been so busy with this house thing I haven't been to one in quite awhile. Anyway, I love WIMPY burgers at Alki, so I am all for that. hgb

Whatever Cody. Just because you wish you too were pals with Cavey you don't have to respond in such an immature manner. I know you want him to be your roommate, but unfortunately there is a waiting list. I have a feeling you won't be high on it. hgb

Female climber/occasionally cc.com sprayer looking for a roommate for my new house in W. Seattle. Average sized room on second floor with really big closet. Shared gear room. Very close to the buslines and a fast commute downtown or to I-90 from W. Seattle (not the long commute from Fauntleroy or farther out). Must LOVE big dogs (Greater Swiss Mountain Dog-Dagen). Rent is $550/month + 1/2 utilities. I wanted Cavey to be my new roommate, but he said no. So, if it can't be Cavey, I am hoping for a fellow climber. Hollyhollyclimber@hotmail.com

hee hee W what makes you think the advanced climber is a guy?
