Anyone needing rides also....I'm leaving Friday 9 AM-ish. And if any one knows where to get a butt load of webbing cheap, I think that it would come in use since many bolts have been chopped. Also, if anyone would be willing to help set up the "area" that would be cool too. later, sean

No shit.... Retro-sore-ass, this your doing?

MSR mini-waterworks. replacable ceramic filter, I've used mine for 3 years, cleaned it after each trip, never had any problems. love-it

was up in L-worth myself this weekend, chopped anchors(see other thread), but great weather, was at 8-mile, drank some kokonees, flashed some small (and I mean small) boulder problems. later. sean

Yeah, I saw it too. Went up to clamshell cave, Barney's Rubble and Roto-Wall, TR hangers missing, the large boulder at clamshell was also missing hangers. I also saw that there were at least four more chopped leaving large holes on top of 8-mile also. Some of the bolts ate still usable it looks like, but this lis kinda lame, chopping bolts on routes that have been TR practice grounds for over 30 years... That sucks. sean

thanks mattp.

The Beckster and Myself would like to get a head count of how many people are going to the RopeUp. If you could just post here or send Beck or I a private message, we will know how much Krusteaz to get for the pancakes and stuff... thanks, sean

I think that this is a great thread. My son is 6 years old. I only get to be with him every other weekend, so I try to take him out to some crags around Spokane, and heve been taking him for the last three or so years. Jonah is dissappointed when we don't go climbing, I think the key for us was that we would just go and have fun.

WAAAAHOOOO!!! The triumphant return of Office Space! All Hail The Mighty Office Space!!!

hey nick, seriously, I have a buddy at TNF who would be more that interested to sponsor a young and upcoming climber. If you could post an itinerary, group list, topo maps, and a list of gear that you would like to test I will make sure he gets it...... yeah, right.

Dwayner, I also think that you forgot the all important multi chambered, self-priming, liquid/oil cooled, air and spring damped, blown glass bong.

What, are you people too good for Beck now? Sure, turn your back on the only man who has truly loved and lost. Teddy won't be there but someone should. I'm there for ya in spirit man... sean

I'm not so sure that killing thousands more people is the answer. I don't neccessarily agree with the idea of carpet bombing a whole country only because we are "sure" that the one man (?) responsible for this tragedy may be hiding there. As a matter of fact I think that by retaliating with force is reducing us to the level of the terrorist. And furthermore, if Charlie likes the fact that there were several racial slurs in the email he received, and actually believes that crap, I feel sorry for his bigoted attitude towards the world. I personally am embarrassed by the attitude towards violence and redneckism that is taking over our country. peace. sean

yet again, and if anyone wants to "pre-register" Beck and I could get a grasp on hom much coffee, pancake batter, tent space, etc... that we will need, please hit the more info button or email me directly at hikerwa@mindspring.com thanks sean

just getting this to the top..>:-)

Hey boys and girls, more information on the fall ropeup can be found on www.spokeradio.com There is a link to it's very own page on the homepage. There will also be many pictures and stories (true or not...) following the event. sean

I'm like a lost little puppy...I need beer, badly, and would like to know where I will be on tuesday. I hope it is downtown, it's close to me. I am going to drink beer tonight at the ALKI. Hopefully much beer... sean

and the MONOTONIZER! and Pencil Pusher....blah, blah, blah...

I would suggest seeing if you can demo harnesses, either through REI, Feathered Friends, ProMountain Sports... etc. then hang in it, fall in it wear it around. I bought a black diamond BOD, its got fleecy goodness, and generally works good for alpine and glacier stuff. But there are a ton of other ones out there.... the Isis is great from what I've heard. any, just my thoughts. sean

maybe lambone has a line on some old VW ropes.... I'm shooting for a generator, Large water containers, and a 10x10 self standing tent. sean

well put Doug. Hindsight is 20/20.

once you are on Harbor Ave it's a piece of cake. The Tavern is accross the street from the boat launch. thanks

The Alki Tavern is located out on harbor avenue past Salty's. The address is 1321 Harbor Ave SW, If you get onto the west seattle bridge (hwy) going west, and take the Harbor avenue exit, take a right at the light and follow Harbor avenue around until you see Thai on Alki, the Tav is right next door... good hunting I'll see ya tonight. sean

looks like its at the Alki tavern. bout 6ish. I am going from downtown if anyone needs a ride, and I can probably give some rides home if needed... sean

I think pitchers of micro brews, a new concept to this crowd, are $9, not very big and seldom cold, but the atmosphere is great and parking is ok. I should be there around 6ish... later, sean
