Nice. Is it 15 miles in on trail to the base of the peak?

Nice Fern! I've been wanting to go up and check that place out. Cool.

Climb: Forbidden Solo-Up the West Ridge, Down the East Ridge Date of Climb: 7/25/2004 Trip Report: Went to Boston Basin area on Sunday. Saw some big fucking snaffle Badgers who charged me, had to beat them back with my AK (X-15). Ate some and soon I could see the glacier moving. Managed to put my ghetto old school crampons on and got caught in the momentum. Current was running up the West Ridge and down the East Ridge. Saw a lot of people and had some nice chats. Was defenitly a 50 Crowded Classic. Good rock on the West Ridge, all clean from traffic. Seems like most people climb the shitty terraces on the east ridge instead of staying on the ridge proper, which is way better. Went quicker than I thought, should have motivated for the whole Torment Forbidden Traverse. Chilled at the summit for an hour ... nice breeze, perfect temp. It was all quite casual. Gear Notes: windshirt, small axe, shitty SMC crampons that I need to throw away, handfull of ... , shades

What ice?

meaning: sandles are more practical because they keep your feet cooler and they are easier to take on and off, however those new montrail sneakers with cute little ankle socks look sooo much better with shorts and Prana tops.

duh.

What!? No Beer?

Easy, sped. It's not like I was being serious, either. Hey don't try and change the subject. I can wear shorts over poly-pro if I want!!

Sweet. Its so righteous to find an airplane manifold when your out in the mountains and you don't have one. Jah provides.

Actually Larry, you should go up and climb the easier routes at WA Pass (Beckeys, N Face Concord) Theres so much damn webbing at the belays and rappels you can just take all you need and have a piece in every color of the spectrum. Serious.

Well you've never seen that sexy WillStrickland in his banana hammock. Very European. Far be it for me to poop in the pool, but hasn't this thread degenerated to a sufficient level of tawdriness that it should be moved to Spray? Like it was a serious fucking discussion in the first place. Will:

Most climbing stores (such as REI or FF) sell webbing in blue, black, red, brown, green, neon fucking pink. What other colors you looking for? sea foam? eggplant? tie-die?

I miss my ex ... but my aim is improving.

Maybe a store that sells climbing gear might sell webbing. Just an idea, but worth a try.

I've been to the bugs, haven't climbed Becky/Chouninard but talked to many that have. If you're staying at or near the Kain Hut, the preffered technique seems to be to stash axes / poons at the top of the col and make a somewhat sketchy descent to the base and then carry over, since you rap to the north and wouldn't want to have to retrieve gear. You don't need anything but strap-on crampons and light boots for all of the approaches. The glaciers are pretty mellow. As far as ropes go, I'm sure you could get by with 50's. In general 60's are a better choice for the mountains as you can often link pitches or make pitches longer.

What I don't understand is if we don't have fixed lines how are the strippers supposed to get to start of the routes? Its got to be hard to negotiate a lot of these approaches in high heels and a bikini.

Come on Chuck - go for the full north in a day. You can doo it.

We stayed at the Akai too. It was ga-hetto.

Sounds fun. Let us know how it turns out
