Hey ,we beat the storm!

Bump, This is today, Looks like something worth attending.

2nd the "it helped me" add, "many times" to it.

Did Wildcat and Gooseegg yesterday. Very fun! Here are some Pictures No ticks, just t-storms.

Actual "Black Diamonds" are worth hella-ton of cash on the black or, the straight up market. If he tapped their collection,That guy is so bling!I know that I paid my share into that kitty!

I think it is a great place to find partners. I have hooked up with dozens and havent had a bad trip yet. I am a known quantity though and enjoy teaching etc. Give it a chance, beats sitting at home. Since we are on the subject, I am looking for a partner for 2 days this weekend at Tieton. From Seattle sat and sun, Wayne

Great place to throw up!

Wow, nice out of the way report, Thanks

I dont feel it is the better place for newbs. If you want views go do Trapper or Sourdough

We were doing 5.9a+, a long time ago, jeez

Like you say, it doesnt make the climbing any worse knowing who did it first. It is cool though when you are climbing and you dont have all the topos and beta to draw from. It might as well be an fa if you know nothing of it. I am just glad to have done such an incredible route and to have helped document its appeal. There was a large back off set up below the poison pill that blocks the top of the 1st pitch. We cleaned it and at the end of a long pitch, I drilled a belay bolt below the roof, was it still there? With old gear would it have been possible to make a good belay there without that bolt, and I believe I put in a good pin there as well? I saw no evidence of a belay set there prior. This route though- It is the real deal.

Wow.is there a link to the club site?

Way to get the early worm, and complete a jacket collection!

I believe he is relocating to New York to get his wife into medical school. I would cut him some slack. I didnt get the idea he wasnt appreciative in his discourse. I personally know him and he is a great guy. I have been in his situation and it can be embarrassing to be hurt and in need of assistance. I have been the rescuer too. It too is humbling. Learn from the lessons and I hope you are not the one needing to be rescued some day as well.

Great , just great, thanks Jake

just last Memorial Day weekend. The trip could be done in 2 days easy though.

I personally look forward to the tr!

Major dittos!

I'd abstain with his ex-girlfriend!

I remember helping Opy move during a record cold spell , 35 below wind chill. I was in a down suit!

Wow, I felt like I was there, Thanks

I have some tr link on my traverse page.

Dont forget -we want a tr

Thanks guys, After thoroughly looking at the Beckey guide, I noticed that he has a decent drawing of the approach that I didnt see before(W5). Also he does mention our descent to saddle camp as being " feasible" but doesnt go into much detail. Also I wanted to mention the variety of pro used. : Small alpine rack, 1-2 pickets, screws, 1 thin piton,4-stoppers and a few cams. 1 tool, alum cramps. If you want the "clean" traverse (finishing with the possible fa of the N. Ridge of S. Finger), double the rack and bring rock shoes. Also special thanks to Michael and Wife for jump-starting my car after (W6)the hike out
