Dang Law, It woulda been great to see you. There were a good number of cc'ers there.

there will bee a photo finish there someday. Hats off the the mighty Hubers there. They are the man.

I must say it is swell to have the "Klenkenator" back

Wow, Thanks, I think

Jeez no wonder people don't want to climb that thing as part of the top 100!

I set a bomber, and multi directional base anchor. Pins are great here. Took out some shock by attaching my pack weight to it. Roped up with the device on a 40 foot knot leash as a back up. Re-tying it a few times up the pitch. Following sucked with the pack and jugs, I wanted to free it on tr but had to tighten the slack out or screw up.The pitches had too many flakes to haul the pack. I avoided dozens of leads by free-soloing up to 5.9.I only roped up on 3 pitches. It was a nice break from climbing with a pack.

Bump, Tommorrow

We have suspected him of being DFA as well.

Thanx but ,I wish it were simple. It is a long tedious apprenticeship on "How to not screw yourself up as you learn". Of all the devises though, I prefer the soloist. All devises are pains in the rear. Best just to free-solo.

Three cheers to John, Marcus , Gary and everyone that put into this event .It is the kind of thing that should happen more often and even here in Seattle!

Where do we get the complete lack of separation between supporting the troops and -or- not supporting the war? They are not mutually exclusive!!!!

Fun Times > It was very entertaining watching everyone struggle a very difficult prelim. It will be interesting to hear about the reachy moves on the after thread. It didnt seem anyone under 6' tall had a chance

Such a quick sending too!

too late, he is already healing

Old Mike and his euro-pins. He used to loan me his rack when I was a tot and I would go solo pounding on the bluffs. Good times.

Is there anyway to make the "views " on the forums hot? It used to switch the forum to the most viewed threads in the forum.Also showed the most replies on the "reply" column etc..Thank you for all the great things you have done for the site btw, Wayne

YES, Keep pushing it Rob. push your technique and pro placement too. Learn to stem well and take advantage of rests.

Nice, where is the rock located?

Which campground, as long as we are fielding redundant questions

Just got a phone call from the Man , he is 1/3rd of the way across the Pacific and finally got away from the detrimental winds.He told me he is doing great but it will be hard to land now where he wants to.Check out the site ,and sign up for his regular dispatches . They are entertaining!Also dont miss the slide show benefit for him at the Skagit Valley Alpine Club on October 3rd. It should be in the events forum soon.

Stellar work as usual, When the Extreme Ski Journal out?

I recall going up from the saddle on the usual choss. I dont remember it being all that bad

Just follow the railroad spikes E, They stick out a foot , There was one sitting in the cave so I drove it in the start.

No oak at all, but a new forest is there that wasnt there on the old summit photo I have seen Don, Proud effort on your part for sure, You might ask Dave Jensen. His was the first party in the new register, Jeff Thomas of the Mazama archive knew nothing of a record brought to the clubhouse . One of those mysteries, I guess. I dont believe it has seen another ascent, but maybe there is someone on this board ready to sack up?. Its not that bad just bring lots of bugaboos. Ed Cooper of all people emailed me a couple of years ago asking me for beta.

When I got to the top of the 96' band the webbing was sitting on the ledge with the rap ring through it still. Completely rotted off, Also an entire layer of rock had worn off, because I saw no pin scars the entire way.I place only pins the whole way except for a tcu near the top. Also afriend of mine knew the guys that died. They were back cleaning pins on lead and one popped and they both went. Also Dan, the Davis ramp is on the Black Spider, Hood
