OK, I am from the short-bus of special-ed posters at times.... I need a 5-day time delay for what I write. I would post a bit less for sure, but put more thought I am sure in what I offer the population. I love critisism. Maybe a masocistic thing? Though it now seems irrelevant: Attached is the year I did have , and wont be forgeting any time soon. The best to you all.. P.s. Matt, If I ever need a lawyer... 258122-2003-3.doc

Nice job again Erden, Look forward to your shows,W

ok sure, move it to spray, but... I really just want to know this site does something other than type. I enjoyed the "Top -3" Thread .There are so few trip reports. People are so paranoid it will set them up to be flamed. Yes some of my bs is ego driven but I would love to know what , say, Dru( the real Dru) did this summer, etc. So lets flame him when he shares his actual climbs this year? I hope not. I will take the flaming for risk takers , and I will be the first one to high-five you when you send whatever. -To the people who actually climb!

Its amazing to discuss his ascents in terms of what he hasnt climbed!. Some astounding peaks not visited though. of course he had rivals, it was prolly one of the things that spurred him on.

I climbed both days, Swenson turned Colin and I onto a steep and dry crag . I think it is an amazing place to climb too!

In case you didnt know, I have a close friend that makes t-shirts for a living. You do understand the concept?I also have an affenity for shirts ,because by selling them, I was able to finance a large trip to the Himalaya. You dont go after those mountains subtley Dont get me wrong here. I really would just like to know what people do here in the summer. Dont want to participate? Go back to your spray hole

Thanks CVy. I shortend the climb to IV. This rt is pretty independant too.

Please chestbeat here.. This endless summer season seems finite now. Please fess up here wit the list of your biggest routes that you did this season. If this co-op master-b gets to page 2 or 3, I will post the list of my best year of climbing that I have ever had.(Bait)( Hook?)(Troll...)

Back in 88 I did a new route on the s face. I never write my news into Becky or aaj until now, < It goes through the roofs on the left: Solid Gold IV-5.11b

I was hoping you were gonna say you took a disposable. Disposable undies after a couple of those leads.

kick'em once for me! Get in for free? You just paid $10 to watch bouldering! ! 1 kick comin up! I hear dinner will be pasta. Thrashador , I didnt even take a camera . I took film and let them take the pics with theirs. I forgot I had a roll stashed in the cache I set before at Inspir-Pyramid col.

Here is a Picture of the last 2 gendarmes. I hope to get a couple more up later

After talking to him. it seems he soloed it. They had concerns about rockfall.

Yes women gained much in their drive for liberation. Little attention is paid to what they LOST.

Nice job Colin!

The pictures may be dissapointing as I was free-solo and alone . There is another picture of the upper one-half of the route in the green Becky(second edition) page:312 it is the ridge down and right. Kearny did a rt up the face shown to get to the last gende, then bailed into a traverse left, to summit.There are a couple of good reasons this rt wasnt done before. : Its almost unreachable and the climbing is in big fear territory. Not that its all that loose.the ambience of the place is so intimidating and the rt finding is desparate if you blow it. Very scary if you dont.

Appreciate the offer , but I wont go near this thing ever again!

The Wrinkle is an instinct I followed on a deer path from the second lake. It is a bizzare triangle that some how separated itself from the west side of the Logan Creek valley. It forms 2 valleys one of which actually flows up the LC valley. It formed the only way I could see to get to the inpenetrable LC valley. You may find it on a close up topo but neither the lakes nor the Wrinkle show up on the Green Trails. Pictures will follow, but you can see the ridge from a distance in Nelsons#1 pg 125 . It is the ridge on the left(Endless Ridge that is)

So ends my fascination this year with remote Mt Logan. This time I found our own little version of the Hummingbird Ridge: The Endless NW Ridge. The topo map doesnt lie on this one, It is over a mile long. It has almost 3000 feet verticle and is very serious and committing. Just getting there took more than was bargained. After leaving the trail at Junction Camp, there is great toil bushwacking through to the second lake, then one may be lucky to find the "Wrinkle In Time" to reach the fantastic Logan Creek Valley. Good Bivy amongst bear scat. The climb itself is endless exposed and commiting . Involving much 4th class and 5 rapplels to clear its abundant gendarmes. It gets harder as it goes too. Grade V-5.8

i agree. 3 votes for(Minxs?) proposal!Lets hear from some moderators. Wait there are no moderators for this forum? I think We already spread from Alaska to Lassen , we might as well continue to spread our virus-like influence

Ygdrasil,Cardinal, North Palisades travers,South Crack, I already miss the weather in California

Great idea Chris , I have the perfect venue! I think I can talk him into it. The place has a 33' Tall climbing wall, HOT TUB, Huge decks and plenty of room,parking etc. Whatta ya say Lane?

Sky Ridge/Pilot! Teddy bears Picnic Titanium Jag NW Passage Kings Blue Light Special

Is there a problem with being in/from Gresham? Micheal, face it your screwed until you can get baq north!. The one thing I will promise to do is turn you on to I-rock this fall/winter. you have to spy the conditions for me though and I will show. There are topos at climax I can show you tonight at sharma-fest

Marko , if you are going to continue to climb naked, it would only be fair to let us know in advance! We need fair warning.
