Trying to stir the pot Will , can't do that one , I would hit him with smoky mcpot at 4:20 but I forget the password.

There is bolted choss and some manufactured dung out there that I can't stand! Dude you crack me up ...almost 5000 posts ...your sooo METRO Thanks for putting out the flame RH

Of all the famous climbers Croft is a soft-spoken inspiration of integrity It all comes down to , don't be Dis'n or talk'n smack about a route you have not done , as is often done on this sprayboard. Old saying : Better silent a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt

Climbing Magizine #238 pg 16 letters Man do I love it when the self rightious talk smack about a route they have never done. Peter put that fooo in his place. Lycra wear'n Trad Geek

If there is a short fall of money how about we put together a loan to be paid back by a fund raiser later?

Thanks for the update See you 'n ..... got a cold for you!

I'm in with a GRANT ...Dude thats less than the gas for a trip to the Mud Pile, sending it by snail mail to the address above.

Has anyone been to Lava point lately , looking to find out if soup creek road is snow free and passable to lava point?

It's just this site that I have to re login every time. Why not other sites?

Maybe they just don't want us around I don't think sending Jon and Timmy cookies is gone'a help

Yeah!!!! I get booted out and have to relog in any time I am gone for awhile.... Flipp'n gets your blood boil'n don't it

The weather is going to be soooo suck at Vantage this weekend wind, rain, snow, the place is a choss pile.... stay at home, eat out at Macs and super size it. See the rest of you homies at the old folks home and later LUCKY

Any of the sport routes at x38 above 5.11 are bolt ladders

Your definitly not a fat ass... that would be me... Everyone get's there ass kicked and my short little legs can not even pull off that stemming problem. When I walked by it did not look like the time to be bum'n a belay. I sign my hangers because of hanger thieves and it marks my routes so a climber knows what to expect, stainless steel bolts, hangers and ring anchors. Great day

Tee shirt weather at vantage/coulee today (I mean like break a sweat warm )...trolled for a partner but come up empty ,thanks to the USBA basic accender I was able to rope solo.

Anyone up for playing hookie from work tomorrow Tuesday 2-8-05 and climbing at the Coulee?

Tall overhanging walls with lots of lead routes, textured walls (big enought for foot holds)throw in a good supply of cracks ......slabs I heard some climbers like that tilted sidewalk thing (slabhappy ).... 3 times as big as VW in seattle and build it in Olympia or so Tacoma A membership that would be good for all the small gyms in Washington would be cool also

When you stand on top of the Mesa after a days climbing and take in the setting sun it's definitely the Vantage point of euphoria Hey.... to some it may not be the best climbing area, but to me it is the best climbing experience. Nothing like the Coulee in the spring ...oh please let this be a short winter.

Now that I have read The Washington Desert by John Eminger and John Kittel 1991 I see how the name has transfered from that guide to the new guide, but most of the climbing is in Echo basin or off of old Vantage road not in the Frenchmans coulee. Vantage does sound cooler and I did have to look up coulee for the meaning. I call it both...it's all good I love to step back in time with old guide books.

The Alpine Experience in OLY has it in case any of you Mossy back west siders want to dream of dry climbing weather. Another well done guide book by Jim Yoder and Marlene Ford

A coworker that use to climb handed me a arm full of old guide books today, as I was going through them ,books like, A climbers guide to the Squamish Chief 1980, The Washington desert by J Eminger ect. I was saying the one I have been really looking for is .... and there it was Tieton river rock by Matt Christensen and it looks like it is brand new

It's at the printer.

I drape mine with a tarp and use it as an unbrella It's sooo heavy I hire a porter to pack it Anything that wide HURTS good bragging rights
