I doubt it, I have been spraying about it for a long time and tracking every public report for that wall. You win the prize for best lime on that wall IMO! Especially with that finish.

Nice to see that loop closed after 25 years. I have seen the direct finish in once, and thought it would be fun. Nice job!

Banks is going off! Did Shitting Razorblades complete last weekend and did a blog thing.

It takes a little while for stuff to build in Washington, hang in there! See you out there soon enough. Canada is going off however. Just got back from a quicky trip! https://waynewallace.wordpress.com/2016/12/08/canada-ice-12-16/

I hope you find someone! I too am looking to carpool from Seattle to Bozeman for the whole week.

Trip: 2 weeks in Red Rocks! - Date: 11/4/2016 Trip Report: Could have done much more climbing, but taking a vacation is nice too. Ended up getting in almost 60 pitches with Glaskowkiss, aka CrazyPolishBob, though and had a great time NOT camping out when the rain and wind hit every few days. Did see that there is a new guide book that just hit the shelves too. With record rains hitting the Northwest, what a great time to be in the desert! More on personal journal..

Gets easier when the ice is thicker for sure. Rime Dog TR in Winter

Wow already! Gonna take my tools down when I visit next, thanks

Way to stick with it! Looks like a wild route.

Sweet report, never made it into that area, but I recall the buzz about that line. Sounds like some people don't listen to negative reports from prior recons, keep that rolling!

Well done guys! Classic looking trip and report, thanks for putting it all together.

Thanks Priti! it wont be long! How long until someone does the triple link-up? Talk about enduro.

Trip: The Lamplighter Trio-UTW Index - Date: 9/12/2016 Trip Report: Due to a tough work project, this summer was not great for me. However I did the 3 amazing route on Upper Town Wall that all start with the Lamplighters first pitch. After the obligatory grunt up the 10c trad first pitch the 3 routes eventually give way to some of the finest face climbing you can find on granite! Here they are in the order I did them: Thompson/Fuller Memorial Route The Crimson Eye Heaven's Gate Now, go lose some shoe rubber!

Super report! So, did you take the knife edge ridge after the glacier?

I agree!

Yes! That route has been screaming for the full Steph treatment! Nice one.

Impressive effort yet again! Way to scare the shit out of yourselves, and the readers here.

Thunder peak I believe. Some punk took the summit register and sprayed about it about a decade ago. He got flamed pretty good over it too.

There will be another announcement soon on a service this Sunday 7pm at the Mountaineers clubhouse Magnuson park

Yes it is today at 4 PM It will probably be the first of many. It will be downstairs in the bar from four till whenever.

Thanks Porter and Miles. She was one special person that's for sure. Terrible loss for us all. There will be an all-too-soon wake for her and her many friends at Seattle Bouldering Project bar after 4 pm.

Great report, and sorry about all the extra work, but you earned it!!
