    Sunglasses

    I have a pair of the Julbo micropores and before I had the lenses swapped out for prescription lenses I used them enough to really like them.

     

    Wanting to see even better though, I had my vision doctor set me up with some semi-mirrored faces, amber gradiant lenses with a non-reflective coating on the inside and there wasn't much of a difference.

     

    Since I'm not one to wear contacts I end up carrying a pair of glasses for after sundown conditions, but with the weight of titanium frames and plastic lenses being what they are, they can go into my sunglass case while they're in use.

     

    Back to the original point though, the Julbos are worth buying in my opinion.

    Africa anyone???

    Hey all,

     

    I've found myself lucky enough to be in eastern Africa until after the first of the year. Unfortunately though, I don't have any of my gear with the exception of my headlamp and camelback. I will however have an opportunity to take off for about a week to go climbing if anyone happens to be in the area. I'm going to try something around the mid-November to mid-December time frame. If anyone is headed this way, is doing or is interested in a short hike/climb trip and has some room in their party, I'd surely appreciate the opportunity. Anyone looking to get over here and "just do something" should give a shout as well.

    Mt David on Saturday. Saw a total of 9 humans and one yellow lab. The one woman I saw with the dog did the ascent in just over 3 hours. A nice day hike. Just take plenty of water. Not really anywhere to "overnight it" if you want to stay. There is a decent looking meadow below the trail that you can make your way to if you're into it. A trail leads from the lower end of the meadow back to the main trail.

     

    Mt Erie on Sunday after some coaxing. Decent climbing areas. Especially if you're familiar with the area. Some of the info concerning maps and trails there are seriously lacking. For the time involved in driving, 32 or 38 would be a better choice in my book for those in King County.

     

    Thanks for the offers gents (and ladies). I'll post again should another free weekend come along. Hopefully something involving glaciers and or snowcaves.

    I'm beginning to think Clark Mtn and maybe Lhuanna Peak with a start from the trailhead early Saturday. Even something similar would be cool too.

     

    Thanks for the PM's from the doodz wanting to hit some actual rock. My lack of climbing time this summer though might make for a not as enjoyable time so I should probably stick to the less vertical.

    Anyone up for some early morning rock tomorrow?

    By early, I mean "climbing" by 7:00 AM or so. That'd be 07:00 for all you current and former military salts out there.

     

    Looking for something close. Exit 32 or 38 maybe. Heck, I'd even do a few laps at Marymoor.

     

    And to quell any rumors that might have arisen, I am in fact quite alive.

    Time out on the "dog tossing". Chepe's been a bit lonely since Ray's off to the great white north doing some real mountainman stuff. Besides, other than being an overly horny little bugger, he's a pretty decent dog.

     

    This year, should I manage to make it, I will definitely be taking it a little lighter on the Canadian (whiskey that is). I couldn't climb for crap on Saturday last year. Sorry about that Jordy.

    Lost pocket knife

    in Lost and Found

    Posted

    Hey all,

     

    I seem to have dropped a small 2-blade pocket knife while climbing at Deception Crags 2 1/2 weeks ago. It is a Buck brand knife and was dropped somewhere to the left side of the routes under the trestle area.

     

    Although not a tragic loss, it was a gift so it would be nice to have it back. If you found it, I'd be willing to provide a brew or 3 for its return.

    For those that know the public transit system, the Sound Transit Express busses get to the Everett station the quickest. You can get there in a hurry, but don't plan on staying too late. The last express to B-Vue leaves at 6:32. Arrange a ride home and you're in luck.
