what would you climb if you were relatively new to the scene here and wanted a day climb done solo, last minute like, this sat. iv'e only been to the olympics once, mt angeles w/ the girl and wanted something more challenging. previous posts are pointing towards constance or brothers, ??? thanks

soooo,,torso rings out of the question??

der scarpa 'cerro torre' is das boot fer du!! up and down rainier from paradise, feet didn't get too cold and stayed very comfy for days. check em' out. had lasport makalus, didn't fit MY feet.

Yo Charlie, It's Don, the dude you bought the "perfect-fit" snug top from. I second, third, whatever the Mammoth recomendations. I'm in Tahoe for a week-ish in Dec., plan on boarding Alpine Meadows, drop in if it's on your way. last I talked you were thinking of a winter trip up Rainier. Got some room?? I hear Gib Ledges could go w/ less (comparatively) risk. Let me know, got a hankering for some winter stuff. Don

Svilar is it??, AUSTIN TX!! Beautiful weather (sunshine, remember what that is?) Good schools, community or the nations largest, UT. Excellent town for live music, good homebrew, fine eateries, and good rock too. Green Belt- tons of sport stuff minutes away from dt.Enchanted Rock- many sq. miles of perfect granite sport to trad 350+ ft.8hrs from big wall mexico. Move and I promise you will enjoy.

i've got a bike race in portland all next weekend so that's out for me. changing jobs around the end of the month which should allow me maybe a couple of free weeks. between now and then, evenings or weekends sound cool.

cool fool. no problem supplying transpo. got some company rental wheels we could trash along the way. me, well i was climbing a whole lot, a whole long time ago, so w/ that in mind, when you wanna climb?

cc, i'd be interested in your moonstone down jacket and fleece wind pants, and cams if you still have them. my last down jacket, a marmot 8000 meter 800 fill dryloft resides in the comfort of my 'ex'-friends apartment in portland much to my dismay. i got stuck w/ his damn old nuptse vest, crappy trade. let me know

sound advice mike, perhaps i'll wait.

so what's the story on this peak? new to the climbing up here and saw the peak for the first time the other day from wa 530. any enjoyable/solo-able routes any could recommend?? looking to do something this weekend and i'm too damn lazy for stuart.

well el nacho, i just bought a exit 38 guide book and have nobody to read it with. i'm new to the area, will be staying here unexpectedly for the winter rain so i can be a belay slave in your quest to bag a .12, up for some mountains too. suggestions??

for you/those looking for a canopy for a toy tacoma i've got one, a leer, apparently the best one they make that i bought w/ the truck and i have no use for it. it's black, has sliding side windows, brake light, and interior sound padding. fo sale to anyone interested.

duh, S.T.U.A.R.T, my apologies. thanks JJ. i'd prefer to stay away from the dirt slogs. went up glacier peak this past weekend via stikum glacier, top was typical of a cascade volcano so i've had my fill of dirt climbs. i suppose i'll check a guide book out on the west ridge route see if it's do-able for me, 5.5 solo sounds w/in my ability as long as it isn't long pitches of consistant 5.5. just wanted to get another climb in before seasons end. thanks fo da beta.

new to the area, done a few hike/climbs around the area and i have to say, stewart catches my eye. are there any easy/moderates that one could do el-solo on the peak? i choose only to admire the peter crofts, boone speeds feats, not reenact them myself. this in mind, any route suggestions?? what would the conditions most likely be early oct.?
