That is a great option nobody has mentioned. I do not know if it is any quicker. Somebody besides myself and another climb Toketie Wall or what? It's stellar granite to 3 musketeers ridge and larger than Snow Creek Wall. Check it out

It's a serious and smart question. I got insurance including rescue insurance.. To get rescue insurance join the american alpine club. To get rescued for free climb in canada..

Hey Karen I learned by reading Petzl catalogs and thrashing around the mtns in major failure. It's a great way to learn now that I look back on it. I met lots of people and learned a lot. My partners were always as clueless as I still am. Also I have met people that dont like to "technically climb" that's a stupid definition sometimes but whatever.. Just get out there and take photos and see the mountains like I would and you will have a great time. I scramble too. My 2 favorite scrambles are MT Si and Mt Shuksan. Check em out if you haven not.

There is always something new punk rockers try to call punk rock. I have pics of me with a huge blue mohawk in the 80s and early 90s. So what? It's all about the lifestyle some say... I think not. Punk Rock is more about the attitude. Die Die Die my darling................................................

In my opinon a great summit is worth more than any 5.10 redpoint. Although I am not downplaying a good rock climb. They are rememberable too. It's not so difficult if you find a good partner. I have climbed with many of these geeks posting here. We always have fun, even when we fail. One word - Serenity

Any granite wall you can walk up to within 1 hour have lines if it's near any city. Scree, glaciers, talus are just part of the game if you want to enjoy some more remote climbing. The vies photos and experience overrride anything else. This is obvious... Just give it a few tries and you too will find yourself addicted to the alpine Scrambling is just a means of getting to those alpine walls sometimes

It's free soloing

In a nutshell it boils down to take your poison really. It's ten miles either way to Prusik. Obviously if I was going to climb Temple I would not take Aasgard. Who would unless they had some sort of weird plan....

You are probably online so much, you just assume everybody else has the time. Truth is-we don't all have T1's or DSL's. It's not as easy as you think. I dont think Jon is assuming anyone has the time to create a new database of info that is already here. I think if you are just patient enough and savvy it will pay off. It's not super convenient but it is there. Searching a database through the web is time consuming but nobody's getting paid on the moderator side.

that photo is totally ugly scenery never hike in there

Well I am open to other people's ideas. Let's not jump all over it. Maybe there is a better spot.

TG - I don't think you necessarily need to paint with such broad strokes. If you were climbing basalt (maybe you are), I could understand. But after following this whole thread, and knowing what a "good" cam placement in granite looks like, I still have faith in my placements. Each situation, and rock medium, is unique and should be judged accordingly. Keep the faith, bro. ps glad to see you are not hounding allison anymore. Maybe being married has chnaged you. GregW the cams were all broken!!! Didnt you read that? The only type of rock that would make me less woried about cams now is softer rock!!! "keep the faith bro"!!! idiotic. Keep the faith bro, committing suicide is the only way to get picked up by thos aliesn behind the comet!!! Dlunkman, I have taken a few 20 foot screamers on cams used with granite. I fear that rock a lot less than sandstone. Maybe this is a troll
