I have seen that thing when we did Abraxas( another incredible route!!) It looked bad-ass! I didnt scope the lower mud but I will PM you with his # . Keep it sane on that crap for sure!

Carefull Greg, those goats could go straight to the source

Dan ,You should take a couple of pins and send it , there wasnt that much precip,so it should be ok to great conditions right now. Just take gaiters, what was I thinking?

There are only 3 kinds of people, those that can count and those that cant.

Best weekend ever craggin and partiying nonstop-fun for sure .Great people, beer , climbing , did I mention beer?, Climbing too, thats me in the photo. Good job everyone on being safe and the positive energy was awesome. Cant wait till next years ROPE-UP=

Ya, Kiwi-Steve Elder did it twice in summer and winter. It is my opinion the ice is best in may or after a really warm rainstorn/ pinnapple express.There are much better routes on Hood/ Illumination

Hey Billy and Matt. I am in contact with Jeff from time to time. He last told me he was stalled on the project and needed more time away from it all to work again on it. I wish I could give everyone his phone # to encourage you all. I think if people were updating info, on new or exsisting routes, to him ,that may help.If you send me something ,I will send it to him. If he got all hot and started working again it would still be a year or so till you might see the book

All of those glasses are empty . Pc is alive and kickn-

Funny you should mention that.......... It seems I skied in ther with the Honorable Sorcerer named Tim and we proceded to do the 1st ascent of a killer M3 or so mixed kill pitch. It can be t.r.'ed, but I found it to be a serious lead. It can be found to the left of the falls 100' or so. Bolt city on the potential of the main wall. mediocre rock? You really need to ask Tim Olson yourself. The true Conessuire of choss gaging

I tell you this , If you want to be really good at climbing, you better be narrow minded and focused! I could be boring as hell too, but what I do is not!

Incurring the Full Wrath of Th Law-g!! I would have recognized you if you were visible. I know you like suds, sis. Should I wear a protector tonight??

Cavvy, I am bringing my latest project there tonight for your approval. LawSeamstress , I wonder if you have the guts to show up at all. Wear whatever you like. Just darken the door already!!

From the look of the pictures .,the guy went having fun the way he knew to. It must be tough to say Vantage sucks while looking at the picture of the route. May his soul always have peace, and peace return to ours

NO NOT THE DREADED LOCKS OF ALMOST CERTAIN DOOM!! [ 09-30-2002, 06:33 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Back in 2000,I had an interesting run in with the Chinese military. We had all the neccessary visas and permits to get to the peak but , how were we to know they would be flooding the border in case something happened in Pakistan/India clash of the week.They were moving some serious artillery and tanks and more troups than you could believe. We were told NOT to take pictures , but there was this dumb bunny with us that kept taking them. Then we were told to leave or we will be shot. We protested and held our ground till it became night and they had to put us up for the night. They next day after we kicked theier ass again at basket ball they sent us back just shy of gunpoint. I didnt want to push it but we paid them over 100k$ !! They let us back in4 days later and we kicked thier ass again at bball! I wouldnt mess with the Chinese mil, they have a cold streak. The games were played at 12k', and we werent yet acclimatised. :

Colin told me of a dude that as done all but 3 of the vol1. I was stricly raveing about the McLane book for its content. I cant believe all the sweet real estate up there,eh!People like Dru have it made! Its cool to have an unknown horizon

Wow it must have happened later in the day.Because I was with Colin ,we got out of there early and didnt hear a thing. There where just tons of people there in general.We ran into a group that were doing Cadet,but didnt see anybody on Monte. Most importantly how is this guy hangin' ,tough, I hope

Good job on the sending of the Tooth, 51st classic route,Cavey. Is there a cc.tr on it ? Good job Eric8 on this season! The Kearny has the best in my opinion too, though the one I mess myself on is the B.C. Select ! Vol1 is better than vol2. What about a winter select? I guess anytime you can get up anything in winter here is select!! [ 09-28-2002, 06:29 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

May the crystalyzation and transforming OCCUR!!!

I forgot how great the West face is ,great pics Iain! The south Face is good too. The East buttress is amazing as well. The rock is sound for Oregon Though the first pitch is hard to protect,its not that hard

vol 1;33, vol 2:7(alpine) Kearny:23, 50 classics:12 It seems Kearney did all of his selected personally, is that biased then? [ 09-27-2002, 03:10 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Those the super-classics are sound, I think the best Or-choss-wank is E.butt of Washington.

As for the Ore Choss Wanks > Select? Besides the Palmer Glacier Headwall Direct (without the fixed lines), Are there any select in Oregon? [ 09-26-2002, 07:52 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]

Ok I am sure the authors of the books have done more than any of us, but how many check marks can you boast? Vol 1: Vol 2: Kearny: [ 09-26-2002, 09:56 PM: Message edited by: wayne1112 ]
