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.

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.
