Hey will, I climbed Ingalls Peak on Friday. I'd definately recomend it a a intro Cascade Alpine Climb. Great rock, sweet view, and a nice setting, easily done in a day. you may want an axe if you go in approach shoes. Have fun!

Bummer Dude... Could have been worse I guess. Good call on the helmet! My two cents... be super carfull when camhooking above a ledge, ie. don't do it. And watch those little guys! Hey...two questions: Are those new daisys woth the $? I would assume that you'd say hell NO! And, did you fall on to the old bolt? I have been wondering if that thing would hold a fall. Good luck healing...

There is a new bouldering guide for Leavenworth written by Damion Potts. It costs ten bucks and is very detailed. Find it at Vertical World in Seattle, don't know where else. Or just head into Icicle Creek and scope it out for yourself... Keep Cool, have fun!

Camped at The Meadows, did Irene's Arete (STELLER!!!) the next day and hiked to moraine camp. Cloudy in the morning so we opted for the OS route. Of course it cleared up and we were bummed that we did do the Exum. But hey, its a freakin' sweet mountain regardless of what route you take. And Holly, there was only one other climber on top that day. A woman who soloed a variation to the left of the standard OS. She came up from her car and beat us to the top. Impressive to say the least, but I think it gets done car to car quite often. [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 07-02-2001).]

Ok, so now pitch three has four pin scars, two fixed pin, and requires three second step moves and one top step move, two #5 HB's, and one green alien... Does anyone have the supertopo?!?!?!?!?! No really, thanks for the info y'all. Now I have a good plan in mind. Time to go do it and see what happens. Hey Erik, so you can rap Love'n Arms, sweet... Do you think I would get shot from the range if I rap down and try the 11b pitch on top rope!!!! Ha,Ha...

Are you sure that is a good idea... I'd be afraid someone would hit me...

Yeah, thanks erik... Hey, would it be better to rap The Dragon or the Crier? Does it matter? [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 07-02-2001).]

Hey Specialed, I thought that the last pitch erik was reffering to is the "easy fith class" scramble to the top. The pitch under that looks like it is a flring slot, up to a ladder, then some 5.9 w/ tricky pro. Is that the one you are talking about?

Hey Pete, That pendo sounds cool, where yould you join GD?

Nice! And I'd like to thank whoever is responsible for the cool new pictures on the home page. They inspire me to get out of the city and rally!!! Where ya goin' erik?

Hmmm... Since we accidentaly deposited our shit bags down the Nose should I NOT say that we did the Tripple Direct clean...heheheheee

Hmmm... Yeah, I see your point. Still, I consider any aid climb clean if you don't use your hammer, regardless of what is fixed. Shit, almost every route has a bolt, a rivet, or at least a fixed stopper or two. A long as you don't pound another one, you are doing it cean. If you were doing a wall, and you had to leave one of your stoppers or cams fixed cause it was totaly stuck, would you say that you didn't do the route clean??

Thanks Erik, That sounds good. Well forget about smoke out and rap the route. Going clean shouldn't be any worries. I don't care what anyone says about cheater sticks, I love 'um. Don't get me wrong, I love tricky aid, scary moves and top stepping , but if I can use the stick instead of pounding a pin or head I'm all about it. They save time and the rock. Hell aid climbing is cheating anyway. Hey, Yoss. Did you do the Green Dragon. We are considering that one as well. Maybe The Green one day, sleep at the base, and Town the next. Mabye both in a day?? But only if we can rap both routes. Thanks Guys. [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 07-02-2001).]

Hey All, I plan to do the Crier in the next few days. Any recomendations on gear rack? We plan to do it clean, but should we bring any pins or heads just in case? The pitches seem short, will doubles on sizes suffice or are tripples recomended. Any key "trick" pieces. Cheater stick? Would it be cool to sleep on smokeout ledge, or does it suck? One other thing, what is the best descent? Can you rap the route? Any thoughts... Thanks

I saw Tom Frost in Camp 4 a couple of weeks ago. His hair is like silver, big smile...

Hey Matt, If I make Scout some booties with C4, can he be our ropegun up at washington pass?

Mark Twights "Extreme Alpinism" : Don't carry anything but a packet of Gu. If you die, good riddens...

It seems you missed the point Dru... I was refering to you as the dog!

Will, Thats cool, only he's not confused about Christianity. He believes, and thats all he needs. I respect that. Chongo has a funny attitude towards Jesus, but I'll leave that up to him to tell. Ed can stuff it!

Good luck Lisa, it shouldn't be hard getting one of these crazy guys to go climbing. But I feer for the outcome of this thread. Be nice you VULTURES!

Yeah, he talked about all that shit. He must be one of those guys who can tell his story a thousand times and never get boared of it (Just like Dwayner). People who preach their beliefs are sad, and thats all he does, sit around and wait for wall climbers to show up then talk their ear off. I'd rather watch televangalism. I bet his book has some cool stuff in it, just bugs me that he thinks he's some kind of geinius like Ben Franklin or somethin'. From what I have gathered, he hasn't invented anything new, he's just applied some basic engineering concepts to walls. [This message has been edited by lambone (edited 06-28-2001).]

'sall good yo, I'm jokin too dog...

He's a missionary, but he's totaly cool. I told him what I knew about eastern religion. He's open minded towards other religions, but he finds his peace in Jesus. Go figure...

MOOSE DROOL!!!! From the tap of course. Mt. all the way!

??? Chocholate is poison to dogs big fella... Pick your poison I guess!
