Fence Sitter, The real deal is you have to do your own legwork. People often dont want to tell hordes about the low profile spots to climb. So do your own research and you will be rewarded if it is good research. I dont climb much or at any high level but I like to get out there and have fun.

No hangovers but genuine sickness.

I found me a new bike when Dru and I rode up Sless-E creek drainage in accordance with Highlander and Tex's potential for Epic. Sounds like it was a positive epic even though NE Buttress was not climbed by them. That makes for a return visit Dru and I were up there foraging on some unclimbed stone but I was ill and wimped out after about 6 pitches. No shame hehehe. I got a new training wheel equipped lowrider bike.

If you could find a used one of these for a good price it would be good. Otherwise Megamids are this shit.

If you want something more obscure then buy alpine journals. Also to buy maps and drive around in your own car. Maybe you can check out Chinese Puzzle Wall in Nesakwatch Creek for instance. Or get to know locals and climb with them etc for more info.

Yeah they all seem good until you get out there with em. Then you find all the damn flaws I'm not buyin into any leash bullshit any time soon. But if 80 people rave I might take a look. I still think the android was a piece - of shite and lots of people raved about it.

Dan what's the deal YOu scared of women or were they hogs *oink*oink*

I think Erik's KTK skin donation idea is best. Make Lawgoddess climb some Saggitarius She probably kick ass at it anyway. [ 08-30-2002, 10:18 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Warm up on Godzilla and Sagittarius - 5.9s

I cant lead either one. But damn they are good.

Shit she barely stepped off the ledge homie. Look how tight the belay rope is in both shots anyway.

lawgoddes you should get right on Zoom and wham.

Why the heck would somebody walk all the way up to Sharkfin col to stash gear, the back over to Sahale Arm to camp, and finally return the next day It's not like you need much pro to climb Sharkfin anyways. Have fun in Asia.

Be like Beckey and hike in from the coast at sea level to climb Waddington. (that's kinda like a sit start bouldering) I wonder how much Stefan cheats.

I wonder if wonderboy stefan is going to ski all the way into Denali and Logan from the road when he makes his attempt. I call cheating if he does not. Maybe you can call the car ride cheating too

No more beta for you jack. Shit we gave you enough. Maybe you need to go buy the book.

NWFP are sponsored by the friendly neighborhood REI. Another reason to boycott them. The tickets suck and park away from the signs more than a 1/4 mile distant from them and you are legal. Otherwise you get tickets.

Clip the bolts and think you are free soloing

TimL that looks like more than stellar rock. But when you look at the plumb routes it seems that my opinion that the Beckey - Davis and the Stanley Burgner have the cake. That one looks more like a craggin route in my eyes. Not that it looks negative in any way though! The Boving Slabs on Dragontail look great too. But do they make a plumb or defnititive line that we might want to excited over. Well I guess the boving slabs look better on dragontail when compared to the rest Who knows. It's all about the fun [ 08-29-2002, 07:10 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

I have climbed at fossil more than twice. In my recollection it was the ONLY place to get a sport climb in that was close to Tacoma back then. I have not been there in many moons. I climb 5.8 max and think that the only climbs worth doing are to the right of the Boyal Bobbins Bunny Climb area. After much exploration of many more WA areas I think that the area is not a major destination. Furthermore I think the anchors were often sub-standard cold shuts that I was ignorant enough to believe might be sufficient for a good fall. It may be true that they could hold a fall but I dont think I trust them anchors at all nowadays after more exp. and knowledge. There were indeed difficult routes there that I could not do and will not do. Including holds that fall apart and or crumbes away on ascent. My final analysis was that fossil rock was not for me in the end after learning about safety and other good areas. However if you dont mind the rock quality then you might have a fantastic time. There is some hard shit there and nobody can deny that. I would prefer to climb elsewhere.

Yeah if we see sorry ass Tex riding a girly bike with training wheels he'll get the ride. But maybe the helo will be there for ya too
