Layton will screw peanut butter. But only if its dead first.

You should eschew the unnecessary bullshit that you see many climbers with and go straight for the must-have equipment that you will use everywhere from the crag to the alpine: pink bunny slippers, a full-body Ewok suit, a banjo, six-pack of Pacifico w/ limes, and a towel.

Spent Sunday drinking beer, swimming, and shooting. Sighted in my rifle and shot clays with 12 guages. Now that's fun shit!

Got burned to a crisp on Freedom Rider on Lib Bell. Thrutched hardcore in the 5.11 offwidth variation. Pulled on gear . Climbed a stellar 10b fingers to steep hands pitch above. Did the rotten block pitch on Lib Crack and exitted off same due to dehydration and time concerns. Thanks to the gapers at the Lib Bell rap station who hooked us up with some H2o while we waited for them to figure out how to rappel. Had a bitchin meal with lots of ale and wine. Called 911 on my neighor who had an out of control fire going on in his yard.

Very Nice!!

Wow. What a completely worthwhile use of your time. You are cool.

Yeah. We should have put people of Japanese descent in internment camps during World War II when we had the chance. We just let that opportunity slip right away...

When I click your link all I get is an article on gay marriage and a picture of a gorup of half-naked people hanging from a pole trying to look like art.

So much for Alpine Kitty world domination via subconscious hypnosis

You got the link to the Alpine Kitty?

Best bet for cheep is to go on into the park when you arrive at night that way you don't have to pay and then just sleep in the parking lot or trailhead of whereever your going. You not "supposed to," but if you're in a van or truck and don't appear to be camping, no one's gunna hassle you.

Bullshit. Sportclimbing is for Geophysicist / Softwear Engineers.

Shit if you want to bowhunt, you can take a doe real easy out here. Muley Bucks are defenitly a bit more challenging with a bow though.

What did you end up getting? I'm looking for one now and curious what you got. Remington 700 Series .270. Used but in great condition. Came with an old Weaver scope. I'm going to upgrade though - Leupold makes a 4x-12x for $250.00. As far as I can tell, there isn't a substantial difference b/w a .270, 30-06, and a 7mm mag, which are all fairly similar. 7mm mag will give you a bit more range, and a 30-06 a bit more impact force. But I doubt I'll be shooting at anything over 200 yards anyway. For dear and even elk, a .270 is a nice caliber. When I was looking for a used rifle seemed like .270s and 30-06 are pretty easy to find, since they are so common. I'd also like to get a lever action 30-30 with open sights for hunting down by the rivers and in the woods. That would be fun for target practice too.

Shorts OR Pants. One or the other. NOT BOTH!!

No sled yet. But I'd sure as fuck like to get one ... too much sick shit that can be accessed. I was going to get one this summer, but I bought new skis this spring and a hunting rifle, so its on the backburner for now.

Yeah, but all your friends would say "Damn Minx. You got a queer kid or what?"

Bitchiiiiin! Say ... we should go skiing this winter

But football is supposed to be a group / fraternal activity. Climbing mountains isn't. At least he hasn't taken up ballet. Or ice dancing...

Is not the Old Settle approach roughly similar to the Bardeen approach, except you hike over the ridge to the north and into another drainage? Or do you take a completely different "road?" Either way, be warry of any 4wd HC roads in the Chehalis Range. Pretty much need a 4 Wheeler to make it up through the fuckin tank traps.

This route kicks ass because (its supposed) to be a full mountain route (if you do the whole thing) requiring a variety of climbing skills (if you climb the glacier as well) such as: ice climbing, route finding,some mixed climbing ,technical rock climbing, and the ability to climb fast as well as well as exposure to objective danger (if the glacier is climbed as well). The Girth Pillar proper is probably the best three pitches of crack climbing anywhere on extremely good and clean granite for the mountains. However it stands out even more in contrast to the rest of the climb because it is a nice reward after making it through the glacier (if you don't cheat and you actually climb the glacier as well) and some of the other mixed and manky rock sections.

Alpine rock. Choss happens. Buy a copy of McClane's Alpine Select in B.C. and Northern Washington and you can plan all your 20+ pitch alpine wetdreams.

Crawford what?

I'm sure the beta will be better this time.
