There are almost 1,400 threads in the Route Report section. Now how many route reports? Not nearly as many - so - If everyone that starts a thread asking for info posts a TR there would be an awesome amount of info out there. So the new rule is they have to! Spray Lord Dru didn't let his trip report slow down his spraying at all. (mighty fine report too I would add)I will do my part and follow his lead. Any climbing I do within a week will be followed by a report.

Anyone else with a TR for this guy?

You have to troll better than that to get any bites around here

I'll take you all on! As long as I don't fall in that darn river again.

I am going to have to break out that darn McKlane guide I see for myself but I am betting you are right. By the way that select guide rules!!! Well here's a two pitch: Java Jive (with one cam!)

True Dru! But the only mandatory condition was 3-6 pitches alpine was merely an added bonus. Beside the views from the Upper Wall and The Chief can be pretty scenic too.

Index has a bunch of multi-pitch sport routes and I am sure Squamish must have a bunch too (besides the Black Dike that is ). Dru start spraying!

Off - It appeaers that sport climbings givs some people that very ability. Reference the Alpine sport thread where Dwayner claims the mere mention of alpine sport climbing makes him sick!!!!

Here is a link:http://www.camp4.com/rock.php?newsid=202 I do note that projecting isn't included. Fine Dr, is this term derived from psychoanalysis?

Off - You're right but I love it! Check out this site for comparison: http://speedclimbing.com/ Boring! And I do love his favorite things lists! PP

Dwayner - Remember my motto! "If I can't throw a rock to the base from my car I aint climbing it!" So I'll have to take your word for the Rainier thing. PP

It's not my thing either Off but if you are climbing the Nose in a just a few short hours the North Ridge of Stuart isn't much work at all!!!!! But as a practical matter being a weekend warrior being able to do a big wall and be home in time for Sunday supper does have its advantages. Damn I still have a long ways to go beofre I loose this Chronic Gumby Status. Jon can't I have my own special designation? I suggest "Weekend Warrior"

See the site has something for everyone!!!!

Now Erik why would you laugh at somebody elses thing? The site doesn't ridicule anyone like you just did. Be nice! Besides maybe these guys are trainging for the wild enchainments and continuous pushes. Look at the times for El Cap routes - pretty amazing. If I admit to my time on the Horse Chute route (one of my first big walls) and then compared it to the record I just think amazing! A bit of trivia: the Steve Gerberding who has a alot of fast times is a local boy! Son of the former president of the UW.

yo, RedDump. I am sick and tired of you pukin' me and my brothers and sisters on the Big R. You left many of my family on the sides of the rocks by camp Hazard... SUCKER....

512dude - Are you're out trolling!

Swiss Orange Chip of course!

The recent thread about the Freeway Gun Club route brought to my mind the seemingly increasing "Best route" phenomenon. It seems that with increasing frequency the word "best" is used to describe a route. For example in Exit 32 a route is described as the best crack in WA. The Tieton guide calls Orange Sunshine one of the best finger cracks in WA. Smoot calls the Freeway route one of the best slabs in WA. The Index guide calls the Jap. Gardens/10% link up possibly the best crag route in WA. I can't recall anything like this in the Leavenworth guide so maybe Viktor is immune. Certainly the Squamish guide is a hotbed of hyperbole. So my question is what qualifies one to make a best route statement and are these guys just marketing or are they correct. By the way I have climbed all these route (except for the Freeway) and have my own opinions. Should we set up an ongoing poll of best routes by type here on CC.com? PP

Sometime ago I started a thread in praise of that Scott'erx fellow. Since then I have continued to admire his energy and ability to get out and climb. Others saw fit to mock his Mt. Si report on the WTA site when he showed concern over a possible cougar lurking for the attack. Today I read a report of a 61 year old BC man fighing off and killing an attacking cougar with a pocket knife. Dru, please supply details! [ 08-04-2002, 08:57 PM: Message edited by: Peter Puget ]
