Outstanding! It's an impressive hunk of stone in a great setting. I'm glad it's protected by the "easy" approaches. [ 10-10-2002, 08:24 AM: Message edited by: slaphappy ]

No, you are right, it's messed up. But compared to Rat it is a highway. Did you do Toketie Wall or Buttress?

quote: But if you are aiming for some of the other crags up there head up Snow Creek-Nada Creek to Temple Canyon. I haven't been up Rat Creek. But that's another option. Yeh everyone should start heading up Rat Creek. I went up it once and I must say it is barely an option. Toketie is a highway by comparison.

quote: Didn't someone mention that The Fisher Chimneys route has an arrow painted to mark the correct gully? You are correct. As of mid August there was an arrow pointing up the correct gully. Pretty disgusting. What happened to adventure?

Does any one have a 45-50cm straight shaft for a pulsar evolution that they want to get rid of? I would gladly take it off your hands or trade you for a 60cm. Thanks -Slap

No DFA it is HEPPED ! (and how does salbrecher know so much?) Actually though, all are true!!! Drink one just cuz!

And a well deserved two for you too, Norman C!

13 pitches? I remember 7 maybe 8. Other than the first pitch, (5.8) the route is soft for the grade. It was fun and for the most part on good stone. Congrats! *Oh, and Alan's route beta is right on. [ 09-23-2002, 05:08 PM: Message edited by: slaphappy ]

Right on Blight! Here's to you! Here have another ! [ 09-23-2002, 05:07 PM: Message edited by: slaphappy ]

quote: Spec-freakin-tacular lump of granite! (Isn't there something like it somewhere in Renton??) One question though: It took 1/2 an hour to get off the peak, how do you know it was unclimbed? The same way he new no one could have climbed the N. Ridge of Stuart earlier this year, there were no footprints of course!

This might help: Washington's Recreational Use Immunity statute, RCW 4.24.210, was enacted to encourage both public and private landowners to open their property to recreation by limiting the fear of landowner liability. The essential terms of the statute are this: Any public or private landowner who allows recreational use without charging a fee is not liable for an unintentional injury suffered by a user. Rock climbing is a recreational use within the scope of the statute. Therefore, as long as no fee is charged for climbing and a landowner doesn't intentionally inflict injury upon a climber, the statute exempts a landowner from liability for a climbing injury. There is one exception to the general "no liability" rule under the statute. If a recreational user is injured as the result of a "known dangerous artificial latent condition" on the property, liability can occur. In order to meet this exception, the condition creating injury must meet each and every one of the four qualifying terms: 1) it must be inherently dangerous; 2) it must be latent (something that is not readily apparent); 3) it must be artificial (something that is not natural); and 4) perhaps most importantly, it must be known to the landowner, who then fails to warn of the condition.

I've used it on a funky pack and a coat that was left stuffed wet waaaaay too long. It worked well removing nearly all traces of the foul odor. I'm not sure who in town sells it but McNett Corp. out of B'ham. distributes it so give them a try.

Do a search under "backcountry snowboard boots", this has been discussed at length in the past. [ 09-02-2002, 10:00 PM: Message edited by: slaphappy ]

Cavey, you are right, you don't need 2 ropes but if you climb with doubles you might as well make it go as quickly as possible. Oh, and double 60's will put you down far enough in 3 raps. Keep your wits about you on the traverse, it has been the scene of a fatality.

Wait a second... It's obvious to me why Yos needs a swaging tool but why are the only two people who have one, or easy access to one, women? What am I missing?

Matt, Snow Creek Wall

You racist pricks! How dare you start tossing around labels such as "chink". And what's so "enigmatic" about their race? Are you to afraid to accept someone that looks and possibly acts a bit different from yourselves? I find that label equally as offensive as the bullshit scott'f@#k called your (Mitch's) kid. I for one find your bolt choppin, racist asses down right offensive and can't believe that we share any interests (climbing) what-so-ever. People like you piss me off! Are you truly that ignorant?

So let me get this straight, you guys are going cragging with baseball bats and crowbars? You are truly fucked up!

Hey RuMR, read yours.

My lady friend's rock shoe collection is becoming excessive, help me reclaim my gear space. Boreal Matrix- size 5.5 US- nearly new- $50 La Sportiva Mythos- size 35- Good shape- $40 La Sportiva Mistral- size 36- Good shape- $40 5.10 Dragon- size 6.5 US- new in box- $60 We have a plethora of other shoes in this size range most are in good to new condition, PM me if you are interested in any of these or are searching for something else.

If we were all at The Gates instead of at work, we'd be climbing perfect stone instead of arguing, peace everyone!

Your right Ray, rocks better and you don't need any of those silly devices to put in those crack thingys.

These guys lie, the place sucks! Short, Contrived, and overbolted.

Ahhhhh! Heavenworth and beer!

Royal Arches in Tieton? Why the hell did I drive all the way to Yosemite.
