What about dirty slab climbing in the rain on no sleep after trudging miles through the snow in tennis shoes? oddly enough, i haven't been back to darrington since! i don't think i was really loving slab climbing back then ... and i still don't like it in the rain. but one of these days i'll have to go back and give those dirty slabs another chance to prove their worthiness ...

i've had that. it IS good!

i suggest substituting a ramen party for a pub club one night.

very nice pictures. thanks for sharing!

that shouldn't keep you from getting an erection. might keep you from some other related stuff, but anyway ...

those bats are wicked cool. i want to fry on shrooms, strap on a tikka, and go slotting through that tunnel in the dark. anybody want to join me?

monday's a great day to climb at the coulee. hardly anybody else around ...

the weather for squamish looks pretty iffy AGAIN. probably not much for bouldering at the coulee. (please correct me if i'm wrong!) but definitely stuff to be climbed ... and the dave matthews band is playing at the gorge saturday and sunday nights as well.

and what language! where's the momma with soap when you need her???

actually, it IS on their website -- on the calendar -- page. but they're definitely not promoting it via the internet.

it's not even on their website. it's just posted at the gym. thanks, peter puget, for your "wise" words.

uh, those seem to be soil nails. got any granite ones?

that's the only thing i could think of, but it didn't really make sense.

quote: Originally posted by flick: There is this ingenius thing called a GUIDEBOOK. Look for bolted climbs in Leavenworth and 9 times out of ten they will be slabs. hmm, i never thought of that. i have a guidebook - duh, mr. genius. doesn't mean shit. neither "condorphamine" nor "solid gold" are in there. there's actually lots of climbs that aren't. and it's nice to know about climb at other places since l-worth isn't exactly my first choice of where to go climbing anyway. break out beyond the guidbooks, son, and you might learn a thing or two.

and what he said.

And that's the whole problem I have with VW; the strategizing. Yeah, let's provide something for the community, so that WE can profit in the end. Shit, it's corporate culture, and it's taking over the friggin' minds of everyone! And now the peeps make excuses for them! so maybe all businesses should stop doing things for the community. like supporting the access fund and whatnot.

most businesses are businesses for a reason - to make money. the "other" gym isn't much cheaper. your choice where to go ... or not to go at all. i just personally know of a few people out there who have indicated a curiosity about vw and might welcome the chance to try it without having to pay. regardless of what day that happens to be. sorry for sharing something most of you aren't interested in. come down wednesday morning and i'll personally kick your ass.

What the other shame is that Vertical World has figured out a way to make money from it when the hordes come in and rent gear. I'd rather climb for 10$ without such hoopla surrounding the place anyway. it's $15, and you have a pretty fucked-up view about vw and their intentions. you probably think it's a shame that car dealerships let you test drive their cars for free, too, eh?

isn't sk's copilot a guy???

Just wanted to let you know. I'm pretty sure this is just for the daily use fee only; rental and belay tests are probably NOT free ... but you can always call and ask -- 206.283.4497. (General info can be found at www.verticalworld.com - woohoo! Climb on!!!)
