you polish knobs! or write f#ck instead of fuck

Sweet! Hope to see you out there as well.

Hey Off, Hows the cliff looking for friday afternoon -> full moonlight climbing tomorrow? It should be rising just a little after sunset!

Seems like you could see some slings on it till they widened the highway there in the 90's Never saw anyone on it.

Uh, the original poster.

So just out of curiosity, why be so loyal to a device that has, er, screwed you (more than once) when there are plenty of others that won't? Perhaps the drvice is the problem.

There is absolutely no wide stuff on Careno Crag's Regular Route. Perhaps you are thinking of the third pitch of Careno Corners. The start of that pitch has some 8" stuff, agreed. Speaking of Leavenworth, Big Bad Wolf looks like a really nice 5.10 offwidth dihedral crack. I need to get some more big cams so I can lead that one. OK I agree There is also something wide a bit past the special spot in Tumwater Canyon

Honda Odyssey - set aside the middle seats and fold down the back you have 54" x 100" flat carpeted space. Some padding and a 2" memory pad and its like a real bed. Pop up the rear seat and you got 5 seats. With the v-6 we get 25 mpg on trips and a max speed of over 100 mph. With 6 peeps in the vehicle!

Sorry to hear this story, but not surprised. Suggestion: Learn to quit when you're behind. Judges do not seem to like college students for some reason. Logic has little to do with the law. Trying to talk sense to someone who does not give a rats ass about you is not going to help. However, I'm sure if you had $2500 to spend on a lawyer he/she could fix it. Not trying to be funny, just my take on this.

I've never had a problem and I use a similar method to get to the edge when climbing with the wife. I usually just walk around the tree or clip into an anchor then head back to the edge and put a figure eight in the rope and clip it to my locking belay biner. I suppose if it was offline or if you had too big a loop on top and got pulled over the edge you could be in a spot.

JT is nice with nonstop flights to Palm Springs, about 4 1/2 hours from taking off in Seattle to climbing!

Yikes! The forecast after wednesday is looking grim. Guess we'll have to make it a good one if its gonna be the last for a while!

Q4: there is a trail that follows the river from royal columns to moon rocks, its a few miles and very nice. You can see the cars on the other side of the river but they're not obnoxious. Plenty of logging roads on the north side of the highway towards wildcat or lava point as well.

9 pitches of sandstone goodness in 1090!

Looks like we'll be out early - maybe 2:30. Off, if you have any extra time at all when you get in come on over and get some!

Spend as much time above 10k as possible. RMI will herd you up Rainier like livestock so you just need to be in good shape to enjoy it.

Just a reminder not to blindly trust stuff others leave in the mountains! I'm kicking myself for not removing this rope I found that evidently someone used to avoid the 5 feet of 4th class downclimb near the summit. As I knew the way around was easy I just laughed when I saw it hanging from a sling anchor. If I would have known it came up 5 feet short of the ledge below I would have grabbed it straightoff. Hopefully it gets pulled before someone raps off the end of it.

There appear to be plenty of conservative climbers here, you just have to be subtle to winkle them out I used to make fun of DHO's when I rode mtn bikes many years ago, not because of their extra fuel use but because they are pussies!

I agree. This is why I think those most of those who say they've done NR of Stuart in a day didn't, they are not counting the drive or the bivy in the parking lot.

Following the Sword is much easier than Perry's, be sure to practice your bomb bay OW skills in advance!

On a humid day with some sun p2 can be quite a beast!

Hard to believe a Scotsman would let a wee bit o dampness scare im off!

Thx for the TR, I've been looking at Warrior since the new guide came out. So where was the "proper" spot to leave the trail in relation to the three creeks? Or do you advocate following your route once the brush is up? Lastly, how did you think it compared to Constance from the washout in the road?

Head climbers left and away from the edge at the the top till you hit the road (50m ?) head left down the road till you see the trail on the left, Its not too much farther and will put you back on the trail to the upper wall about 10 mins from the base. Let us know anchor status pls, thx.

I hope so, I'll be out there!
