Probably the 80s! Did you find it as painful as I said it was?

Until the new ROCK CLIMBING forum is set up I guess we’ll just have to post the Star of the Month here. Check out this link : May Mr. Muir is the real deal and the perfect person to be the first Rock Star of the Month. He was a hero of mine when I was younger than Distel32! PP

You lefties seek a conspiracy eanywhere. Sock job?!?! Give me a break! PP

J_B is right on this one keep it in spray! PP

The guidebook Plus Marty is a good guy who use to post occasionally to this site. Marty come back!!! Should we make the drive across the state? PP

All the pics are from outside of Spokane. I have some pics I'll scan if I can find them showing close ups of a rope threading thru some solution pockets.

Hey take it to the the *freshiezone* Where the menergy is! PP

DFA drive up here and let's go limestoning!

Silly! Everyone has the same questions! Here are some limstone pics:

My plans are to go rock climbing. The problem is just where. 1 Can you climb at New Halem just after rain? 2 Is there snow at the higher crags in the Tieton? 3 Any thoughts on Spokane limestone? Was dragged there once 15 years ago but we didn’t go to any of the now developed areas. Why aren’t people talking about these routes? PP Of course this should be posted in the new ROCK CLIMBING FOUM!

what is this thing a human being?

Very overhanging crack. It’s short but really hard! You need two ropes to TR because it overhangs so much. Gutbuster is right of the road and very easy to TR. Short overhanging flared finger hand crack with, for me at least, mega reaches between jams. Perfect end of the day project. Hasn't anyone else tried or done these? PP

I know it takes pro, I was just wondering how TCUs worked! Haven’t been on it since my rack had TCUs. Now what about those bolts! PP

Hey stop turning this vital thread into a snoozefest. But since you brought up bolts, does anyone remember if the bolts on Stevens Pass Motel are old ¼” ones that I seem to remember. Does anyone else think that they were placed in completely bogus positions? Does the crack take TCUs well? I remember stoppers were at best a pain to place and the crack being shallow. PP

If you are into this kinda stuff

Well Dwayner I hate to admit it but I have never actually watched a full episode of Buffy. Last night I did see the very ending where Sunnydale was transformed into a huge hole. I think this four minutes of viewing pleasure doesn’t give me enough of the “Buffy” experience to judge last night’s episode. Kinda like you and sport climbing. The idea of a woman who can transform herself into a crash pad is close to perfection. Of course the same is true for us guys just imagine Muffy’s dainty feet walking all over you. Now if you want me judge last night’s Spongebob episodes I am your man! Spongebob Squarepants! PP

Jams are pretty technical unlike the cracks on Midnight plus the sucker really overhangs. I need to get back on the Gutbuster too came pretty close to doing that sucka! PP

A wonderful summary! Just imagine next Tuesday I will be free to drive to the PC just when it's Tacoma's turn! PP

Well I guess I can hold out for another week or two. Can't wait for the new guide tho.

And here I am listening to another super album: Blonde on Blonde! Get it! Live it!

Last show tonight

Nice topo. Forget the bolts tell us about the route. I gather you liked it. PP

It's quite a bit harder than 5.9 you must have been in great shape bck then!

Backside of Givler's

Anyone else been on this route? It has the most painful freaking jamming I have ever done! Didn’t redpoint it but thinking of working on it this fall. PP
