  1. acetone can be purchased at the Home Depot paint dept. but I don't think you'll find it capable of removing any dried paint...
  2. ...he said "guide Colchuck", bwahaaaaaaa! seriously though, nice job! -
  3. Josh, seriously, thanks. I was just wondering "what would Josh guess"...
  4. Can't imagine many of those (swallowtails) floatin around used, pretty specialized. You will have better luck on splitboard.com or in Seattle, try 2nd Ascent. They had one last spring, a Voille 185ish or so... Just curious, why a swallowtail? Just lookin to add another ride to the quiver? Awesome powderboard, don't get me wrong but not a good all-around NW board... * I may be gettin rid of my Voille 172 freeride in a month or 3 but won't commit until I order a new one. Good luck -
  5. What's so fun about lending/supplying him a hat, a puffy, a shirt, a sleeping pad, a sleeping bag, a pot, food, spoon/fork, a pack, herbage, locking carabiners, $ for , and on, and on... "but I bring a possitive attitude..." bah, I prefer haters who come supplied...
  6. I saw one while snowshoeing on the trail to the summit of Mt Townsend about 6 years ago. Scared the crap outta me. I must not have looked like reasonable game with a 185cm snowboard on my back... Two seasons ago I saw a bobcat while snowmobiling the road up to Cashmere.
  7. Tacoma Screw does not carry button heads of any size.
  8. Nice. Just talked about going up there within the last 3 days... I should quit talking and start doing. -
  9. When is a ski pole not enough to get up St. Helens? -
  10. The feature is classic. I appreciate good dirt, the Recurve was just ho-hum in my opinion... slabs appear superior. -
  11. Brad and I climbed a similar line to "haireball" a few years ago and we thought at least 80% had been climbed before. We removed tat and bail gear down low... Gordon has done 4-5 routes over the last 20 years as well. -
  12. before, and he is... - btw- there is only one "t"... thanks. *It was originally called "Weigelt's Book", 10ish pitch 5.9. I did it 4 or so years ago, don't waste you're time. Dirty, inconsistent, and loose...
  13. Facts: 1) anything harder than 5.7 is "sport bolted" 2) there are long runouts and routefinding on "easier" terrain 3) the route was done top down by traversing in on series of ledges (3-4) accessed from the climbers right 4) there was confusion on the wilderness boundary 5) trying to reason w/ JosephH is a waste of time 6) I am a fool for entering this discussion
  14. Well how did they get down then? Must have walked off. No? Why I'm bothering to respond is beyond me but... slung boulder and yarded/climbed back up. ran rope around nearby tree and yarded/climbed back up. had fat ass friend lower 'em and yarded/climbed back up, etc., etc., etc. Duh.
  15. Nothin a sixer of headbusters can't cure. -
  16. Ouch! No problem. We may head to another spot cause of the predicted colder temps. I'll be in touch... -
  17. Am I missing something? What's wrong with that? We frequently mix up 1/2", 3/8", 5- piece, wedge, buttonheads, pins, zinc plated, stainless, etc. I see no problem with it as long as it's solid. It certainly doesn't guarantee they didn't know what they were doing.
  18. Yes. And that's against the law!! (If you get caught) Which time of year doesn't it require trespassing? Kat that is Kev's flop. I lost one somewhere in there as well... -
  19. ...and killer goats. If you follow the trail up Hook it's a breeze... 4-4.5 hours to the mesa. -
