Update: I cannot go once again. Personal things take precedence. IceGirl all yours

It was shitty. Worst I ever saw it. There was some ice only in reliable spots. Get a robot start as Jordan V. says. Went to rambles saturday and when we left there were 7 cars there. Drove by Marble Sunday and same 7 cars or so. Climbed elsewhere to avoid the masses Synchronicity fell down. Carl's Berg thinned out but still climbable but not by me. Loose Lady approach pitch not there. Tube fell down. Twilight Tiers gone. Honeyman falling apart.... This season sux ass.

Nope I hold the destination reserved. Submit suggestions but Beck knows a place on Mercer Island. Wait until later today.

Rat you are a loser. Get off your sorry Duff and go look. I know who you are DPS you started a trend now you must get in line heheheheh

Ok I agree with your Alpine Buddy selection. I hereby nominate: panther as Alpine Ragemeister Always friendly and cooperative to others in the mountains. Gives useful beta to fellow climbers (like bring 5 camalot #5s for that finger crack) Is inspirational and gives insight to your climbing potential. Even if it is a death route Sprays like no other! panther is a member of the KTK.

I learned a good technique for traversing slide alder. I stand on the limbs\branches and avoid the ground. I use my arms and just yank my way through. It's almost like hovering limb to limb. Total Tarzan jungle effect works great for me. This is where those zip on zip off super high tech lightweight pants excel in the backcountry once again for me. I also like any type of really breathable shirt for the sweat that inevitably comes when whacking too I heard that some people use gloves but I am stubborn and will never use them, it's cheating! I say thrash up your hands and keep them honed and tough for those granite cracks. Grab that friendly Devil's Club and make one with it. Another steep grass\dirt technique is to kick steps as one would in snow if you dont have crampons. Sink your fingertips in good too. Crampons can be useful as well as a single hiking pole or stick if you are not in the dense bush. You dont want a lot of shit hangin from your pack either or it seems to catch on every single branch you pass Hats are a no go for me because they just fall off too. In the jungle of the North Cascades I find it useful to also have a bladder drinking system when you are hopping across slide alder as well. You dont have to dig in and out of your packs for a drink while balancing helplessly on slide alder Doing rappels:I never rappel into waterfalls or steep creekbeds unless I know I can get out. Tennies are the way to go. Much more dexterity when thrashing around. Boots dont allow the ankle flex needed to move quickly for me. No glasses they will fall off or hang on something inevitably. So all you dedicated bushwhackers tell me your tips!

Slide alder sux bad if you have to travel uphill or sideways. Much easier on the downslope but still not really "easy". Devils Club is negotiable just deal with the minor pain. Right Rafael H

SOunds interesting dberdinka. Have you a photo? Also are there any minor flows you might want to mention? Thanks. -Cavecreature

Tell that Avypoodle to get outta da way!

Dwayner- Tip: If some dude is cuter I always just pull out da long schlong and then that wins over any girls

I know Panther was not there either. Impossible. It must be an imposter! Castrate this person!
