I got a buzz what about you

Yo buttwarts and guysulick see the attachment on the header, I missed all the spray today, I was work'n 500 ft up on a tower on the new narrows bridge I have reserched all the property owners partical# and tax worth of the property around the coulee and F&W money lease deal for the gorge property. So when your done spray'n and want to come to a clean up or join the FCCC or just get involved in the real deal instead of punching keys to see yourself in print let me know. Truely I don't mean to troll you, but when I get lit on a friday night I tend to run my fingers across the keyboard myself also. dudes your getting like PP and just rambling , stop strok'n your chicken

As usual a lot of spray... get involved...learn to share your space... the gorge concerts = $$$ for F&W ... there is a lot more to it , F&W has talked about closeing the car camping also the road and property were all the trash is over the bank is not F&W pro.. If you think I am going to lay down and give up my climbing and camping So I expect to see you sprayers at the upcomeing clean up ..right????? LUCKY

Annual Frenchman Coulee climbers Coalition Adopt- a- crag day Date and time: September 24th 9:00am to 3:00pm Location Frenchman Coulee climbing area, AKA: Vantage

Pinnacle , Plummer, the Castle A peak baggers delight Expect about a half hour hold up getting up to the big hill entrance due to road construction. The appraoch trail was supprisingly cool and bug free, the hikers were thicker than fleas on a dogs back . The summits were bumbly free quiet, peaceful. The Pinnacle just keeps getting better and is my favorite scramble, it has cleaned up soo much from the first time I did 25 years ago , love those incut holds. The Castle... the dihedral (5.6 move castle rock rateing) route is way better than the death choss route on the opposite side described in Beckys book, the move can be a little hard to reverse. Plummer is a walk except for a little root pulling and a good way to finish.

Started my morning getting up early planning on my usual summer trip up Pinnacle and the Castle , it was raining in podunk so I got online to check the weather but made the mistake of log'n on to CC.com first, so my early start got off to a much later start, I know not to let weather this time of year stop me, I have climbed trough the rain to sunny summits many times, the best is when the summits are sticking out above a white puffy cloud layer. Heavy road construction on the way set me back even further , I drove through the clouds at longmire to sunny skies, when I reached the trail head the parking lot was full and I just wasn't into crowds. So I drove outside the park to the Glacer View parking lot, you no longer have to have a forest pass to park there If you like trail ridge running it is a good 4 mile RT burn unless you miss the side trail to the parking lot on the way back and add another mile to your burn like I did most of the trail is tree lined and the view of Rainer is . The trail was clear of all humans except for me , the peacefull burn put me back in a good mood I usually don't do TR because I don't like crowds at my favorite spots but I thought the CC.comers would like to know how nice it is at higher elevations but beware there is a lot of road construction on the way up to the big hill.

Lets see who is laughing last what a jackass!!!!! Anyone got a picture of alpineknt...KURT

So I get this PM from alpineK that reads Quote: what part of T hornbein's book inspired you to chip holds or glue shit. I am pretty well known and a lot of you have climbed my routes. Anyone know of me chiping holds or glueing holds?

What a pain in the having to logon every time I visit this site

Recently there was some confusion and a accident on a route I put up at X 38 called Rhino Rave , it seems because I set it up with chains hanging over the top for top ropers to use, top ropers were not hanging the chains back over the top after they were done, making it hard to get to or see the anchors when leading . I have added two more bolts to this climbing making it safer. Anyone top rope'n this route please hang the chains back over the top.

Thomas Hornbein author of Everest the West Ridge, seen crank'n the rads at x 38 A man of great accomplishments that still enjoys getting out and climbing ...now that "Everest the west ridge" was a book that inspired me long ago to take up climbing and get off the beaten path of hiking trails. If anyone wants a read of Everest The west ridge, I would be willing to lend my coffee stained copy out.

If you still can't find one, you can have mine. I know everything there and don't use it anymore. I could update it for you, some things have changed a little.

If it's the route I think it is , it's a 5.13B project by a local hardman Red tags usually mean a project or unfinished or dangerous route. He is look'n for a partner to work the route if anyone is up for it

BOLTS!! Oh my god... I clipped them all... but than again I am such a clip whore Which ones did you guys skip? Bolts get me through times of fear better than fear gets me through times of no bolts I hiked farther for Outer Space because like CA it's way cool, but I would not hike to the base of Condor for the other routes there ,what it is, is what it is! Did not mean to step on anyone toes , but I back up climbers that put up routes I enjoy... it's thankless hard dangerous work! Let's climb and discuss it over this keyboard is giving me a pump

Not trying to stir you up but ....with over 2500 posts how do you find the time to climb and Thank you for all the fine routes you have put up for me to enjoy, can't a guy give credit where credit is due and say something good without a bunch of negative spray, I guess Becky and I are just a couple of dumb

I had been trying to do Condorphimine Addiction 10-B in Levenslab for some time , but something always happened , like the rain storm on Sunday of Rockfest So my partner that likes to call me dad because of our age difference ( I guess that's because I have been call'n him Son )says for fathers day he will pack the rope for dad and we can do CA ,he will even let me have the crux pitch.. what a guy!! I can't get my kids up off their couch, let alone up a thousand feet of vertical gain I lead pitch 1 and 2 in one pitch ,partner leads 3 and 4 in one pitch, I than lead pitch 5, partner leads pitch 6 and I finished the the walk to the top of pitch 7. We started at 6:30 at the trail,the sun hit us on pitch 3, 6 hours car to car with over an hour of sight seeing ,nada sole did we see and the weather was the best. NOW THATS A FATHERS DAY PRESENT! There use to be a lot of negative spray about this route by a few I thought it was killer and one the most well engineered routes I have been on , and the guys that put it up deserve a metal for all the hard work they put into this route ....just think about lug'n harware and your butt up and down that hillside multi times to clean and establish such a fine route. Leland and Ron a special thanks to you for Condophamine... I'm addicted And a special thanks to my partner Rusty (son)killer day!

Like they said in a recent climbing mag STFU and climb! If you guys climbed as much as you spray you would be leading 5.12 by now instead of being tope rope gapers

A stiffy or boner draw is best made with metal banding tape, the kind used to rap heavy pallets . a double length through the beaner and taped around the sling with cotton climbers tape, tape the beaner well to hold it secure. TALL CLIMBERS MISS ALL THE COOL MOVES!

Anyone ever stay at Farragut state park or know of good camping around Post falls ? Come on give up the beta

I got the guide book, planing a trip this long weekend. Soooo camping and a fire? A little free beer is a small price to pay to hang out with the local crew and have a good time! Im sure I can wing it but I would rather climb and party than look and gape.

Looking for back ground beta: camping, camp fires, best place for a tailgate party, entry,best wall, classic routes not to miss , swimming, or any beta that would make the trip more enjoyable. in exchange for local guide PM, email, or post LUCKY

Any one up for some moderate sport climbing at Vantage tomarrow thursday 5/19 LUCKY

F&W have a blanket closure of Middle East wall. The proper signage is not in place and I don't think F&W really knows where they are nesting. If they drive by and see climbers climbing I don't think it would be good PR so please avoid Middle East wall untill the closure is lifted

Thanks to John Crock of Hyperspud and his organizing effort to spread grass seed natural to the area last fall, the camping and surrounding area is much greener than usual this spring Andy and his band of Heros are willing to picth in and bring back the flat bed truck for a cleanup after the next concert season The camping area seems to be clean and green , the Echinacea Plant/flower is quite abundant this year. The hawks are nesting at the far end of middle east wall, please avoid climbing there.
