Crack

Thank you to all of our veterans. Thank you for your commitment, service and sacrifice. I think other opinions would be better placed in another thread.

That was fuckin' awesome -thanks for sharing! Good to hear that Bill is still rockin' out too!

Everytime I've been to that campground a really nice elderly couple are running the show -but it's been quite a while now...I would second the suggestion of a cheap motel; last year we surfed online for some deal that had us staying in the Sahara for less than $20 a night! I'd still bring a sleeping bag though, as it is a room with two beds for less than $20 a night...

It was crispy good at Index!

I like it when my books have lots of pictures: In the Throne Room of the Mountain Gods -Galen Rowell Soul of the Heights -Ed Cooper On Ice and Snow and Rock -Gaston Rebuffat Newer ones (for me) that I'm pretty stoked about: The 11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies Updated -Bill Corbett Flakes, Jugs & Splitters -Sarah Garlick *anything by Greg Child*

It takes a few more shoulders to keep Griffey afloat...best 3rd place season ever!

Please PM if interested, thanks.

Other easy/moderates there at the Private Idaho that are very much worth doing would include the second pitch of Curious Poses and Instanbul (which I remember being wider than a "handcrack" for me). Sure, a little dirtier than say Godzilla but certainly nothing to keep you away. I saw another thread/post somewhere recently about the K-Cliff -more quality pitches for the mortal whiners like myself!

Hard to believe these guys are in their 40's, and STILL rockin' out!! They have a little different perspective on everyone's favorite day of the week - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5C4_A_nrZw

Is that guy climbing in jeans?!

anyone available for some easy crack climbing out there? jtnakagami@hotmail.com is the best way to get a hold of me, James

bummer -for how long? (i can't watch the video/press conference from this computer) i wonder who will close in the meantime, and who will be called up -dickey and morrow? i thought it was strange that they only went with 11 to begin with...

looking to play hookie from work and crag after noon...mellow stuff. anyone else game?

fuck yeah -that sounds like a fun!

fuck yeah -bong'n'pong!! so much better than: "nice shot". what are some places that have a table? i've been to one in seattle -a fun time where the table was out in back, but when it got dark the lighting made it tricky...

looking to swing the tools -snoqualmie, leavenworth, any place worthy of a rope would be great.

"I was upset to see the bolts, knowing I would never have the chance again to climb the route in its prior state." it's still there waiting for you; ignore the bolts.

some ass neck that i met off of this line last summer convinced me that he would get through the border without his passport...it turned out to be the only time i've been shut down. proof of citizenship is what you need! a passport works great because it has a picture, a birth certificate or voter's registration works too -but you need something to accompany it that has your picture. technically, a driver's liscense alone will not work.

the energy at safeco was "electric" last night -from early on...great game, what a bunch of losers leaving early! what's even worse is security 'protecting' the vacant seats! and i wouldn't be so quick to bash jj; he's still got the numbers to prove that he's one of the best in the biz...are you cronies getting bored of booing at poor richie?

my partner found it, and now i'm posting it...i'll be gone until friday (as in, no internet access), so i'll hopefully be replying to someone this weekend.

Magic Fern IS a fun climb, and made for us mere mortals too...in fact, Private Idaho has a few climbs that fall into that category including the second pitch of Curious Poses (attainable from P1 of Magic) and Istanbul. It would be great for that crag if the folks that run laps on Battered and Senior Citizens got a taste of the other 5.mellows. (that's 5 quality pitches within feet of each other under 5.10!) It would be too bad if Chasin' the Lizard (.10a) went to the weeds -the fantastic and long pitch to the left of Rattletale that I think chucK is talking about...and speaking of -has anyone done the offwidth which helps to form that 3rd pitch of Rattletale? On the way to the Toxic Shock area is another great 5.mellow which sees very little traffic: Al's Armed Response. Super fun with great gear...you got some mungy fun to get past in the first 30 feet or so, but the sweet cracks which lead you up the sky busting buttress are undeniably deserving. -love finding the Fat Man Pitches at the Skinny Hardman Crags!

plenty of people out yesterday; sunny and dry with hardly any snow on the ground. the climbing is as shitty as i remember. someone should drop that block on lightning.

big smiles adventure, outer headspace

alpinedave knows what's up. i've spent a few nights taking advantage of the plentiful, sweet and cheap accomodations in field. since then, i've noticed most towns in canada run the same gig once you get off of the main roads -help out the locals and enjoy your own furnished basement apt.
