2nd the Gib ledge, and possibly Ingraham Direct via cadaver gap, once the snow stablizes.

A Street Sweeper, in case you miss on the first shot.

This site jumped the Shark at sauna sausage! Just kidding Dwayner. I have met a lot of cool people here, and read a lot of advice that would have taken a lot longer to figure out on my own, I do like more trip reports, even as some call it chestbeating--remember Terminal Gravitys Fuhrer Finger report--that should be in print in a magazine. I also have learned that you cannot judge a rescue from the outside, and Erdens first hand information on Goran was way more than what ANY media can cover. I have bought gear on this site, at good deals, I would have been stuck paying more otherwise, and yes, finding out that bridge is washed out or the gate is closed, or there is one foot of snow on the road, this all helps. This is called Cascadeclimbers not Legendson8000meterpeaks.com. There is a purpose here. The chat room should open again though. TTT

One out of 40,000-it could be better.

Check your PM's

Happy Birthday CC.com!

Show us da Money, then we can run with this. Don't leave credit cards in your car. I know first hand. Time for proof. TTT

No Jim doesnt have a shop in North Bend. There is another Pro Mountain shop in NB, seperate owner, just saying support the local shops.

OMG! This a big loss. He was very inspirational to me and all, I really cant believe it. In Sweden he is like Lance to us, I cant imagine. Condolences to all.

Reading some of these threads, one would get the idea that the climbing community is a bunch of faggots, perverts and other sexual degenerates...not to mention that this is a public forum which KIDS might be reading...I'd rather not have my 10-year old kid sister read this shit... ~mr. Grumpy Conservative... Tex is just a guy? looking for his real self. It was a long road in the west until he found the true calling. He is a climber going through a life changing moment. If you want CC.com PG go to Summitroast.com. You should watch what your kid are viewing on the computer.

Geesuss Cleophus do you work for the Canadian government? You have over 25 posts in under 24 hours!

Thats what rock skiis are for.....

Yes, I heard that they may appear around 4500' Sunday, probably some will report first hand soon. Them skiis are looking gooood.

Dude I work for a Waterski company, and it is mandatory that you can ski with out spilling. All I am saying is that you have to take the knocks to be a good climber. OMG pg top! [ 09-26-2002, 10:52 PM: Message edited by: To The Top ]

Vol I: 12, all the easy ones!

Support the local shops. Jim does a nice job of offering stuff to climbers, not just those that want to look good walking around downtown. Also check out Pro Mountain at North Bend. TTT

quote: Originally posted by Cleophus: Actually, I'm going to start my own style. I call it "Ninja Climbing". I will wear all black, climb only at night using no lights, football cleats and a clawhammer, and I will kill other climbers while they sleep in their tents. I expect it will start a craze. In my experience you have to start climbing at the back of the line and work up to the front. There are young and bold climbers, but no old and bold climbers, unless your last name is Becky. How was Glacier Pk? In my experience climbing is not a place that you can fake anything, you have to go through all the learning to get to 2%. Good luck. TTT

To those that thought they got a late start: Think about it, let the masses go on the Cleaver and knock a bunch of stuff down at 2am, not seeing what was coming down. This might be you if you follow a RMI team up. Wait later for the crud to subside, and you might get hit anyway. The rockfall could have happened as a team above could of knocked loose some rocks. Going later might work, as the sunrise wouldnt hit until this happened. It could have occured on the way down. It doesnt really matter, my only point is wear a helmet on this route, but it might not really matter if the rock was of this size. Again sorry for any on this climb and anyone who knew him.

Pugh is a good hike and scramble. Once you get to the edge of the ridge after Stujack, there is a slight scramble past a old bolt, then follow the rest of the way up. It should be beautiful at this time of year, the best time to hike, not climb. TTT

I just heard on the news that there is a rescue and recovery on the Dissapointment Cleaver route (9am news). Two climbers are being rescued, one was hit by a rock, and killed. Sad news, condolences.
