Obviously not dru. HOwever I bet smoot has not climbed shit as far as I am concerned.

However I cant justify buying a book off someone that has no real knowledge. Ask him if he's ever climbed NR stuart or Rainier more than once? I bet not. Oh yeah mike I dont like you. You're a weenie. Hope to give you a friendly alpine greeting next time we meet. bitch

Please send all info on how to climb in the Picket Range. I have never been to any of them and want to make money by writing a book

Rainier, Sahale, Hidden Lakes, Big Chiwaukum [sp], Cashmere. Those are the ones I know off the top of my head. I think it's a good book (but I did contribute to it so I'm biased). There are certainly mistakes somewhere, but I got the impression he paid great attention to detail. Jeff also has a website where corrections are posted(climbingwashington.com). --Michael Yeah I am pretty sure his alpine experience is limited and there is no way I will ever contribute to a plagiaristic guy that does not really climb.

I was making a free attempt. It should stay until I am done

Drunk is my middle name

InhLLE QUICKLY AND BEAT IT KID

As long as it is USDA approved

No offense Trask -> Gargle my butt gravy!

yeah dude, I got stock in the beer\hotdog stand on colchuck lake area. I will be selling them from 1-5 pm for all lake goers on sat and sun

Why not send your info to Fred Beckey

He is now authoring alpine books. I saw one today. I would be that some of the contributors would be better authors mvs, alex, danielpatricksmith, philfort, dberdinka, and others... Nothing to get bent out of shape for on my end. All knowledgable people. However why rely on someone that does not have real experience there is my thoughts. Experience out there counts in more ways than one.

Hehe, Juan cool ! I guess that Aidan is a human being not some alien morph like wayne112 or colin that free solo Dragontail Peak in 1.5 hours together and make us look like idiots har har! I remember the beta for Tiple C -"What is all that rock pro for? You should let us borrow it for this (some heinous mixed route). The only thing you might need is screamers. And totally true. I should have lent them my shit. Oh well.

All moderators kiss this Trask STFU. Drul Sprayshaw gargle it

Speaking on the smoot guides- I think he is more of a rock climber from rumors. I have traded emails and stuff with him. Seems like a nice guy no doubt. But how are you an author of books pertaining to a bunch of climbs you have never done The information may be ok or may be dubious. I guess working for the lawyer group that you might know how to dodge plagiarism well. That said bring on the controversey. I used to like sharing the information with him until I realized that he is not a subject matter expert in mountains or on many rock climbs from doing them. Sure secnd hand info is ok........

Maybe

Yeah Lambone RuMR and max

Well there are couple dudes I would not mess with in person. Retro being one of those few. I wouldn't be surprised if he could stick your head up your ass K. That is if he took any of this and got angry....

Nice try

Okay max, oops lambone.

Uhuh

Looking for partner to climb Sharkfin Tower saturday. One day only. Must go home. Can leave friday night if necessary.

I smell Lambone- Who cares about topic

I prefer tyrolean traverse on 100 MPH pulley. Why walk across the ropes when you can ride
