Is it in any guide books? not in any guidebooks. i'd be happy to show you where it is, though. kind of tricky navigating, but i've been there before and am fairly certain of my abilities to make it out there again. that's where i learned how to ice climb!

dangit, i *thought* i was being followed this morning!

stop teasing us, dru!

good reason to never trust your falls to just two pieces of pro.

joke, dude. ha, ha. get it? I VOTE.

if he's not coming until after 11, i'll see what i can do. otherwise; someone else is going to have to hook 'im up.

hey dave, don't forget to call hansel.

I could think of worser ways to spend my weekend i feel bad for backing out on smith, but i think i've found a new addiction. hanging out and drinking can be loads of fun, but i can think of *much* better things to be doing ... like CLIMBING ICE!!!

yeah; better stay away from banks lake. go get lost.

dude, my calves were not hurting. and my arms only hurt on that first overhanging bulge climb that scot'teryx and sergio tr'ed. (talk about pumpy!!!) all i know, though, is i want more steeper waterfall ice. i got some pics, too, but will wait until i finish the roll to get them developed. oh, and it wasn't *that* cold. nunatak kobuk mountain jackets (and warm tent buddies) rule!

quote: Originally posted by AlpineK: I'm all for new places, but we did drink in Ballard last week. The Zoo or the Duchess are fine by me. i don't know where half of those places are. the duchess would be cool but only if y'all are staying late. i can't come until maybe 11 or so ...

look at those pictures! omfg!!! guess where i'm going next weekend ...

quote: Originally posted by COL. Von Spanker: The weather forcast isn't lookin that great... if this is true i might be bailing on the smiff gathering as well. i hate wet rocks. unless i can drytool on them ... banks lake you say???

quote: Originally posted by COL. Von Spanker: quote:Originally posted by Fence Sitter: there were a few waterfalls forming up at heliotrope ridge, but they were so disconnected to teh rock, you couldn't even hook without a chunk comming off...but who knows what the next few weeks may bring?... You were in the wrong area man. We hit up a 1/4 pitch waterfall and it was super fun. 100 yards from the tent baby. fence sitter, you missed out big time. the wi2+ stream fucking rocked!!! (thanks for the tr, fern!)

enjoy!

second ascent's got these.

quote: Originally posted by bolt clipper: Maybe we will soon be able to clip our harnesses directly to the tool and still be able to call it free! some dudes already hook their tools onto their harnesses to milk a rest. i don't think that aspect alone will make something verge on not being "free" or not.
