Yeah, they appear to be a big (7 or 8 kids!) weird Christian family, but the food's good (if Marblemount-expensive) and they had a cute puppy playing out front. No Jesus radio when I was there.

Good Food makes a fine chili dog, one where you can't see the dog because of the chili. And real peanut butter milkshakes.

I remember climbing next to him at Smith this spring. My condolences to his friends and family.

But there are cougars on the rocks in Fraser Valley!

I've been eyeing that traverse, too. Let me know if you need another.

No climbing area is complete without grafitti. Where is this place, Dru?

Nice job, chuck. Is that horrible picture on the Vantage page designed to make people never want to go there? You can't read anything on the page with that image behind it!

Anyone find a lightweight black Smartwool cap/helmet liner near Colchuck Peak this past Memorial Day weekend? I got it as a present this past Christmas and would love to have it back.

My dad lives outside of Leavenworth. There's not much to do outdoors there, especially in the summer, other than mow the five acres and drink lots of Sam's Club pop. I'd love to know of a place to go for some climbing next time I'm out to visit. I've been to Swope Park but wasn't looking for boulders at the time. Lemme know if you dig up any more info.

Whoa! Climbing in Kansas and Missouri? Is there anything near Kansas City?

This is excellent beta. I have a friend in Portland I need to visit and I had no idea the variety of eating and ogling establishments.

Wow, where can you do that? DOWNTOWN PORTLAND... Yeah, but WHERE IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND?

Wow, where can you do that? Headed to Mt. Torment Sunday, maybe cragging Saturday.

How about six gnarliest? Triumph (winter) Summit Chief (winter) Willis Wall um, etc.

Sound advice. Note that the beer is not for you.

Sorry, man. I'd be more peaceful if I were out there "ripping it up" or something instead of sitting inside on a sunny day.

I do make websites, hoss. Stealing someone else's content without credit is weak and stupid. Especially when you're advertising a business with someone else's uncredited photographs.

Hi Courtenay, that must have been you that I mistook for my friends. I saw you coming down Aasgard Pass and walked over to meet you by the lakeshore.

Were they yelling at each other in German?

Looks like you're out of luck, Scott. Now that trask is stroking your poles, he won't take kindly to you giving your "HC reward" to one of the other boys.

iain, were you the one with or without skis? I was there in the blue tent with my girlfriend, I think we met you and your partner at the trailhead.

Dru, you need to parlay your useless trivia knowledge into something a little more lucrative.

Nice job, Gary! Sorry we missed you guys up there. When did you come out on Sunday? We made it back to the trailhead at 6.30pm that day. Saturday we lazed around the lake and Sunday morning we went up the Colchuck Glacier. We met three groups who were up there to climb Triple Couloirs and all of them turned around. The runnels looked completely gone.

Danger! Avalanches destroyed the website this morning and what's left of Caveman's brain sluffed off when the sun hit it. Beware.
