Buzz the spider!

Thanks, Make sure you do Unforgiven along the way, so fun

No, just saw it in the book. Looks cool. Next time for sure, thanks

Trip: Smithereens 4 classics - Date: 3/9/2012 Trip Report: So nice to return to my homeland to catch a wed-sat window of 70 degree temps, ahhh. Nobody was there mid-week so my stories of prana-top heaven to my 1st visit partner, didnt hold true, The raving about the routes did however, as we bagged 20+ pitches with 4 multi-pitch classics bagged. Warming up on Zebra Zion? Maybe in mid season, that 1st lead is a grind! We did enjoy Sky Ridge, Wherever I Roam/Unforgiven, and rounded it out with Monkey Face. After a great ice season, I am stoked to bring on the rock! More on blog of course.

Nice Radek, what an experience!

skis, should have bought a snowmobile

Just did the 2nd ascent of this quality route. Very fun. Good job Bryan! Maybe I am gettin old but WI5?

There are a couple of variations on it, the left side doesnt look too bad, most of the difficulties are on the top out. I had to do a rare pendulum to get from the right to the last gully.

The above stuff is still for sale, plus a Big Agnes Savery 20 Degree Primaloft bag, used on 1 trip. $100 http://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Savery-PrimaLoft-Sleeping/dp/B001AZ5CCK

Wow another classic thread in the making! As I appreciate art, natural vistas, and redemption I am torn on the issue. I was just enjoying the petroglyphs in Utah, the arial shot of Monkey Face, the effort of the expression, and now the responses of the different parties. Fascinating stuff. I do hope the eagles rebound, hard to say the cause. Climbing has always fought against its nature to be free, and the need for rules of conduct.

Nice job team! I know I will keep going back for more. The problem is that I have to go back to the US. Good to see some better tools in that gals hands.

I cant get the member code to work. Any ideas?

I got most of the way up it, It is not the most solid rock.There is some good rock on the lower benches, but prolly not worth the big hike.

I remember that report, very impressive, additional stoke a little closer to home

Geoff and Jess tried that last year. Good Job.

Wow, looks sweet. the red colored rock is cool

.. and aspiring ironic arsonists!

There is going to be a ton of new snow there too. I want to try Strobach, but I think everything is a wallow.

Do all the volcanos, through-hiking between them.

Danger Cliffs @ SkiBowl. offer some ice/mixed

Just remember your friends when you get all rich and famous from this.

Partner found, thanks.

Before the football games..

Well written. Gotta love the Snoqualmie Alps. So close to town , plenty of fun. Not many cities can boast that.

When I got started climbing. I was mostly interested in walls to. It allows huge walls to be done with a casual, fun pace. Even now, I have enjoyed being really fast at aid climbing as a result of hundreds of pitches.Like ice, you can get into some great "positions". Ridiculous places that you dont belong. Exposure you dont deserve. Walling gave me a base of technical experience and problem solving, that still serves me much later. Enjoy walls and see where it leads. I would still be doing it today, but I dont like all the gear, and long belays. Solo helps with that . Will prolly do more as I age.
