Spill the beans
..and Peter, how was Jupiter?

Dragon's Teeth aren't any where near Cashmere, they are up Rat Creek. More of a sub-summit of Enchantment Peak.

Goats hate dogs, leave the mutt home.

Cashmere totally kicks ass!
Those burns aren't from last year, that's from 1994, I believe. Last years fire was on the steep N slopes of Cashmere just slightly west of Lake Victoria, near the Doctor Creek drainage. No reason any one should be hiking over there
...now snowboarding on the other hand...

bouldering is "real" climbing.
"roped-rock climbers" engage in assisted dabbery.
you can't possibly be serious...

Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary goin on in the Icicle Sat. or Sun. I spoke with a hospital employee last night around 8:00PM, no mention of any accident or fatality. Of course he is a bit
at times... sure hope it's not true... -
Qwest works at Ingraham Flats, Camp Hazard and the summit.

There is some new route development on the east side of the tower that might be worth checking out.
Not on the tower proper but near by.

If you don't trust someone to do a change over, you can feed the rope through the chains, then attach a doubled-up sling with two biners (or however long you need it) to the bolt, and clip the rope in the draw to take the weight off the chains. This way the top-roper can just climb up, unclip the draw, and they are back on the chains ready to be lowered.

Some of you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I will occasionally TR a "newer" climber directly through the chains if I fear they will not make it up the route or if they are not comfortable switching the anchor over. Unless you're doing it on 5 Gallon Buckets at Smith or some extremely over used area, big deal, steel chain does not wear out that fast.
If you see me do it, go ahead and say something to me, here's my response:
you! Better yet mind your own buisness. And yes, I have and do add or replace chains often.

Ben's right, slabs look far better and more continuous from the road than they actually are.
-
737 miles. I wasn't far off considering I was shooting from the hip. Congrats on gettin hitched. My truck? gee big surprise.
but did you see the route? When you climbed it, was it contrived?
-
larry
although I agree that the route is... well, silly. (woulda been much better left as a toprope w/ the anchors actually at the top of the "cliff") Have you even seen it? Do you know it's a contrivance? Don't you live like 1000 miles from L-town?
-
Slaphappy, quit being a dick.
Never.
-
hasn't doorish climbed all the cracks on that side of the Mole?
All? Doubtful. Many? Absolutely.
As usual, Layton, it's your prima-donna attitude that blows.
-
Longpause, that is The Shrew, Croc Fang isn't visible from there.
Layton, keep it on your "don't bother list" there isn't any good stone up there it's all short, contrived, and crowded. It's super obvious from the road that nothing up there could possibly be more than three pitches.

Anyone ever climb "Goat Sick" near bathtub dome???
This is the second time you asked about it, why? Is it inordinately good?
I thought it looked intriguing years ago but after closer inspection thought it looked hard to get on and the whole left side of the crack looked completely detached. With all the good stone in the area it just didn't seem that worth it. Was I wrong?
-
... and to avoid "sorta cratering" epoxy old hole and drill a new one aprox 2" away, much better results...
just my $1.05

2nd pitch of Poultry was done about 1.5 years ago. It joins pitch 2 of honkey's at the 2nd or 3rd bolt and seems about 5.8+ maybe 5.9. It was never cleaned...
Sweet home is just out of photo on left.
Heads starts left of CA and aims for the obvious break in the middle of the overlap 80'-100' up. From there it stays 20'-50' left of CA (skirting large roofs on the right) until about 1 long pitch from the top where it breaks further to the left on easier ground.
Expect dirt, ticks, moments of terror, and of course, loads of fun.

Having gone to Hart's Pass and Mt. Baker last week, I would go to Baker. Normal years I would agree with Specialed but this year the base is way better at Baker...

Snow skate?

What exactly is so dumb about snowboarding? Newbies that don't know how to point their shit downhill suck but so do skiers that don't know how to ski.
Now tele skiing, that's dumb...

Yes gyselinck you are right, the summit is way south (west of Prusik) from Dragon's Teeth but they are still considered on the flanks of Enchantment. They hold ice late into the spring that is easily viewed from the road. Best view is from top of Cannon coulior, pretty sure I have a pic from there from a few winters back, I'll check.
* yeah, that plateau sucks!
