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:

I am Sofa King Sofa King We Todd Did

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.

BUSH / CHENEY 1984

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

We atleast need a staircase up the Beckey gully and fixed lines on the rap so the car to car record for the Beckey route can be reduced by five minutes.

21.5. What a bunch of bullshit though. Too many factors besides height and weight.

Shit. I did it via PCT in 6 hrs. car-car. Defenitly isn't any snow, but that would be funny if you brought crampons and boots and shit for what is little more than a long hike.

Fuck fixed lines. I want a telepherique to every summit in the WA Pass area, year-round access, and a bar at the top of Bergundy Col with deck, a grill, and sexy cocktail waitresses.

The Drake. Connected to a good bar and has a hottub and sauna downstairs. Don't remember exactly how much we paid, but it was equivalent to the shittier motels in the area, and it was a decent place.

There isn't really any good sport climbing in Washington. You should move back to CA or CO. There is good bouldering here however, but since Washington is a pretty "traditional" place, you should abide by local bouldering ethics, which seems to be: 1. Find a boulder in an area like Tumwater Canyon, where people have been climbing since the 40's; 2. Clean it up real nice; 3. Put chalk all over the holds; 4. Kill all the vegetation under the boulder with your 3 foot deep crash pad; 5. Apply sick name like "skinny puppy death syndrome" to your proj. 6. Spray 7. Spray more. 8. Tell people you found a "super secret bouldering area" 9. Project for days 10. Send (finally) while your bro takes photos with the digi. 11. Claim FA, put in guidebook. 12. Pretend that Jim Yoder didn't climb your boulder proj in 1982 after drinking a six-pack, smoking two joints, and spending a weekend in the Enchantments climbing 5.11 in EB's.

When we got stuck for 3 days in a blinding whiteout coming back from the SW Ridge of Mt. Hunter in AK and bivied at the base of some random rocky promentary to wait out the storm I got out the tent (one small ass Bibler, three dudes, two sleeping bags) one evening to dig out and stretch the old legs and I found this old 5 gallon bucket stashed by some rocks. Inside was some nasty old food, dehydrated fruit and oatmeal and shit. Some of it was dated 1984. We didn't eat any of it, we hadn't ran out of food or anything, but at the time it felt comforting to see signs of other people. And the bucket made a nice cooking platform.

BANG BANG!!! Show Charlie Murphy yo titties bitch!

Beta: 1. Pick another route b/c Tuning Fork is overrated and uninspiring. If you must go: 2. bring a tank. Or atleast a seriously high clearance vehicle. Or an old beater pickup you don't give a shit about. 3. Bring knifeblades 4. You don't need crampons. 5. Climb fast, b/c doing the route and the descent in a day covers a lot of ground. 6. Consider climbing Hidden Piller instead - it looks way better. But if you do bring crampons and axes, b/c there's a big crevasse between you and the start of the route.

ass, grass, or gas, nobody rides for free.

You suck.
