Right on it's like mtn climbing. Worth doing once. At the top you are basically on top of 3 musketeers ridge (east end). The descent is waayyy easy too. Not joking it is. The deal was that my partner had it all spied out from a previous trip on the Mole. He did the same deal and when we were up there it was brewing in his mind. We sort of "accidentally" walked by a large wall Mmm Dirt [ 10-10-2002, 08:44 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

What's the specs? How Much? What Time? What are they raffling

Yeah which one did you climb? There were 2 routes to the right of it. One is really just a variation of the other... They looked like the best lines but should probably be pushed straight up instead of converging with the '74 line to be better unless the rock sux. 5.10 dirt wasn't in my agenda that day so I wimped out and climbed the easier line Yeah we approached after climbing SF Beckey Prusik Peak south past the Mole and went down the Toketie drainage at night.

I climbed the 1974 route I think it was. Large chimney up high. Loose blocks. Exciting!

After last season's fires I wouldn't say Smoke A Thai is a highway

Paul, Charlie, Crack and I used to party down there a lot. Builder problems on the back next to the pool table.

Stoner Witch would work just fine. Blumwack next season I'll be looking for you.

Oh yeah the Melvins are pretty good all the other wussy shit like Phish can lick it

Well it depends on when you think you are going to fall most when traversing. Think about it... If you are traversing past an anchor... do you clip it one way or the other? According to petzl you will be wrong one way or the other eventually unlessth route alwyas traverses one way or the other. You can't win unless it's a perfect up and down route [ 10-09-2002, 08:17 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Yeah I told the guide to. Does it matter? He let us pass without issue

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
