Best spot for dog friendly bc in the area is skyline ridge and vicinity on Steven's pass. Check out the obvious ridge across from the ski area. Park in area parking lot on the north side of road and find obvious trail / skin track heading north past employee housing area. Follow up onto the ridge and ski off south side back to the road. Scope out the myriad of other touring opportunities in the area.

stay off the dope kids.

How bout most underrated crack: Pumpline on Careno at L-worth. Not only underrated, but one of the best single pitches anywhere.

Damn CAveman, you been eating corn?

Fowler was in on the FA of....oh I don't seem to remember Fowler in on any El Cap FAs. Porter put up the Zodiak solo. Free climbing the nipple pitch in boots with a big old loop of slack between him and the anchors. Also FA of Polish (polar) Circus. Charlie Fowler is also bas ass. But the only FA I've done that he did was Chinese Eyes in Arches.

The best biners for aid are and always will be regular old ovals because they won't shift around and do funky shit when your standing on a crappy placement. Also a lot less likely something will come unclipped with ovals. When you're aiding weight isn't a huge factor anyway, so I like to use lots of ovals.

Liberty Crack for sure because its a good one to improve your style and time. South Face Flathead Spire Blodgett Montana because its the best 5.10,IV in the world.

Where's PDX? Portland? If so that might be a little too far away. But thanks Walter!

Hey, a friend of mine in Golden, B.C. wants to borrow my portaledge for a trip to Yosemite/Zion this spring. If anyone in the Seattle area is going up there soon and can transport it in exchange for some B.C. nugs from my buddy in Golden let me know!

Yeah we snagged one of the first shipment to the bookstore in Golden. The new guide's rad, its got so much more shit including all the route's I won't ever do like M-16 and Reality Bath. Dru: had a bluebird day driving by Chilliwack. Those Skagit Mts. are pretty cool. Looks like there would be some ice up Hwy. 5 if it was ever cold enough eh?

Hey just got back from the Canadian Rockies. Had a kick-ass time climbing ice with my buddy Solin. We did Guiness Gulley to High Test near Field, Murishon Falls and Polar Circus on the Jasper Highway, Lady Killer in Kicking Horse, and a route on Mt. Hunter in between Golden and Field during which the slopes above us decided to kick down a big wet heavy slide which just nearly missed up. It was my first trip up there and its way rad. The locals said everythings not in as fat as usual but the dependable stuff is in nice. Getting warm though.

I'm off for the Rockies as well. Have a good week y'all! I promise not to have any fun.

Pope are you arguing with yourself again. Its obvious Recriminator is one of you avatars. As is Dwayner, RURP, Donna-Top-Step, et. al. And we can now verify that Chongo's friend Martha Stewart is actually you.

Those sweet treats for Easter look so nummy. Martha's so amazing.

A detour to Butte, Montana is in order

Caveman I'd ski you into the ground so quick you'd think you just took it in the ass from Lambone. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

I've only skied there in the summer. I think it would depend on what part of the Tatoosh you want to go to. I'd ask MattP for details, he knows everything.

You guys are soooo

Pope I didn't want to have to tell you this, but, well... I'm your father. That's right I'm your DADDY!!!

Ouch! Pope are you gunna go all Capt. Caveman on me now?

Because you take them off and use your regular bindings for going down the hill bro.
