thanks for the tr, ryan! nice to get some more details, your version of the tale, and see some pics!

amusing tr. glad you got your stuff back!

yikes!

yay!

you're right, but some people believe you either succeed or you fail. hopefully you were able to enlighten them to the fact that success can mean something besides reaching the top.

tuesdays with morrie

spectacular!!! awesome photos! looking forward to reading more of it when i have the time ...

actually, that's the north ridge of stuart, tomtom. geez. learn some washington geography, won't you?

hi, mle. sent you a pm. i know a couple of guys who just did the complete north ridge and it took them twice as long as they had planned. sounds like it's a pretty long route with some "interesting" route-finding!

STFU.

0:11 for me!

ha, ha. our boss left at 2:30 and said we should all wrap it up at 3. WOOHOO!!!

and if you're looking it up, it's "Second Ascent"

i agree. snake dike is certainly not a "piece of crap route." i felt it would be a good candidate for freesoloing. i skipped some of the upper bolts to alleviate rope drag before i finally decided it was time to unrope. if those upper bolts were added later ... they probably didn't need to be added. aren't all slab climbs run out?

i'm hungry.

i agree with chelle - they're pretty fair about giving you good deals on your stuff.

i sent an email to a distributor and they confirmed.

dude, that is so suck!!!

don't you mean, "you spray more and you get more spray"?

I'm probably not up to that one yet. That's got some 5.11 in it, does it not? not at all! it goes 5.10b. if i recall correctly there are only two 10b "pitches" - one is definitely a one move wonder (that is sporty and easy to pull through if needed). there's a 5.9 pitch that felt harder than any of the 10 pitches, though. i recommend the 10a's along the base of the grand wall. sunblessed and the first pitch of rutabaga, i think? good stuff there!

angel's crest!!! take a good partner.

what i find strange is that he bailed off right at the crux ... while conveniently being chased off by storms.

are they really out of business? their site is still up on the web. do you have an article you can point me to?
