Have you tried Viktor Kramar's Leavenworth Guide?

Ok Enough with the large group psuedo analysis. Has anyone ever thought what if the Mounties limited them selves to groups of n. (where n is some arbitrarily number stated by an "anti-mountie") Would we be overwhelmed by small groups every day of the year? What size is the optimal size? Let's have a real analysis of the situation. We have a man who dedicated his life to math (Pope) and a self described "Math Geek" ChucK. Couldn't a quick and dirty mathematical model be created to solve this sticky problem?

During a recent trip I swore off CC.com but like a drunkard to the bottle I keep returning. Long time denizens of the site will know that Dwayner and I disagree over many things. However where others have see active ill will, and others see a paragon of virtue, I choose to see a rose about to bloom in the midst of the miasma. Surely a man who sings on about the beauty of a trashed van will soon, unless the cognitive dissonance is too overwhelming, admit to the beauty of the bolt. I say spread your wings and fly to the gym. A great evening of indoor bouldering awaits! BTW – Real old-timers remember the old parking lot! BBTW – I have these cool “fake coke labels” so we can drink beer as we boulder! PP

I have to agree with the A-Dog an that one. Ramuta's redid my shoes and they are even better than they were new, and my rands were toast, and Ramuta's fixed those too! In short, they rock.

Gotta call BS on that one Special. Being rude on here is even worse than in real life.

Bringing it all home – Pictures I have seen of Index (eg old Beckey guide, Index Museum) show much less plant life on the cliffs. If you look at the new Squamish guide there is a an old picture I think from the 20s of the Chief. The lack of trees and plants on the cliff compared to the present is remarkable. PP

wow, good call Jon, can I get in on the swag fest?

gotta mix threads for a second, in the rei post replace rei with castle super store, it's sorta funny... well not that funny...

I didn't get a chance to post....Why the closure of this thread and not the Mountaineers thread?

Actually, most sherpa must take the basic climbing course. As well as be fluent with Marth Stewart's "Cooking for High Altitude, It's a Good Thing" and "Tea: The Life Giving Elixor." Mountaineers course can be substituted with a Mazamas course, or by reading "Siege Style Tactics for Dummies."

DIE YUPPIE SCUM!!!!

The mountaineers publish some good books, that otherwise might not have been published. For example, guidebooks. I think that some of the membership fee goes to that.(or at least it should).

I think that running up and down Si in plastic boots is the way to go!

must. find. new. place. can't climb. bike ride. sleep. work(a little).

Ray, I'll pay the postage on that bad boy! and buy you many beers...

Holy F-ing S#@&!!!! Allison needs a steady diet of dingleberries, to keep her full of shit...

pot trap

Well the priviledge of buying Dwayner beers got me thinking that if the solstice was on a Tuesday that would be the perfect occassion. I ran over to my calender only to discover that it is on a Friday this year. So... I suggest a special Friday Pub Club at the Index Tavern. Everyone could get some climbing in and then retire to the Tavern for refreshments. It might even be wise to have afew practice meetings there the offical Pub Club meeting.

Dwayner - Oh Dwayner I didn't mean to suggest that you were backing down. Not sure if I can afford to buy you enough beers to get you bouldering but maybe if everyone pitched in...... And you'll be agreeing with me that many of those traditionally placed bolts are just as or more bogus as those placed by sportos!

Contradict me!?!? Off to spray we go!Maybe Adams will be my coach. Has anyone been to the Shady Lane area? Wondering whats it is like. Also there is a fun arching 5.9 crack on the right side of the Mid Wall that is fun. (Probably wet this time of year) If only it was twice as long.

Dwayner - You're coming around. Soon I'll be buying you a beer at a pub club. No talk of "tradition," lack of balls or purity. Just gotta get you into bouldering. Aloha!

EW - Thanks for hazarding an appearance!
