JRCO

Another 50 classic.

Yep

It's a fifty classic.

Sphinx Crack, Pine, CO

Either one. I would prefer trad though.

I'm looking for a partner to climb at Vantage on Saturday. I'm coming up from the Olympia/ Tacoma Area. I have all day free.

PM's sent to Z-man, l0930, and Dannible. If the PM's didn't make it, email me at jrco1971@hotmail.com

Any one up for someting on Sunday. Maybe head up to Alpental and scratch around with the ice tools. I am coming from Oympia/Dupont area.

Check out Jack Roberts Ice Conditions for more information. I second the Lincoln Falls idea. A lot of ice to go around. A little closer to Denver, Clear Creek Canyon just out of Golden has some fun ice to climb.

I'm up for some climbing. Index, 32 or 38. Need to be in Seattle around 6:30 pm. jrco1971@hotmail.com

So JRCO is finally in Olympia. All the boxes are unpacked and I have permission from the wife to climb. So if anyone is looking to climb on Saturday I would be interested (I can leave Friday night). I would prefer Alpine rock but I can go cragging also. Shoot me a PM.

Hey thanks everyone for the posts. It looks like I will be heading that way and plan to be there around the first of July. So hear goes the callout for climbing partners. I am basically willing to climb anything anywhere(alpine, trad, sport, ice, mixed). I have all the gear you could possibly need. I also have a wife and three kids so schedules and on time partners tend to be important. Shoot me a PM.

So I was offered a great job in Olympia requiring that I move and give up my house in the foothills above Denver. While the job decision is a no brainer, I am having trouble dealing with the fact I will be giving up my very close proximity to climbing and the great weather. I actually grew up in Olympia, so I am very familiar with the weather, town and politics. I actually used to climb with some of you. However, when I lived there, I was an exit 38 bolt clipping sport weeny with an occasional snow slog up some glacier and have now progressed into a hand jambing, ice tool swinging fool. So for those of you that have gone from CO to WA or from WA to CO, do you find that it was worth it or do you wish you would have stayed? And is Olympia still a long was from any climbing? It does look like there is a little bit of a seen going on at the Tenino quarry during the week. Thanks for the input.

Not a troll from me. Info was posted on climbingboulder.com. Don't know the person either. Just thought it was a ridiculous amount of gear to leave behind and even more ridicilous to let everyone know.

Saw this on climbing boulder this morning. Made me want to grab my pack and head up there. What are the ethics on this? Keep the gear? Return it? Seems like a lot of gear was used to bail. Location: Northeast Ridge (on Sharkstooth at RMNP/Alpine/) Report to Moderator (What's this?) By: Anonymous Coward On: Thu Aug 18 08:21:47 2005 Comments: My partner and I attempted to climb this ridge on 8/17/05, but we were unfortunately chased off by storms that arrived earlier than expected. In order to get off the rock, we had to rap the route leaving gear behind as we did. If anyone finds this gear please e-mail me, *******.edu, I am willing to reward anyone returning this lost gear as well. Gear Lost: We started under the fixed rap slings (a red and a super faded orange). About half a rope length above the slings there should be a #2 and a #3 C4 Camalot with a 4 foot red and white runner connecting them. Another half rope length up there should be a 3 piece anchor with a red and pink tricam and a #1 C4 Camalot. Above this is the crux, and where I bailed off a fixed alien (or alien lookalike). Above the anchor and below the fixed alien we lost a #.75 Camalot (not C4) a #0 and #1 TCU. Also lost but not as important are #s 2, 4, and 7 wallnuts. Anything returned is appreciated.

I was in the Tetons for 6 days last week. Ran into Fred heading up to the base of the CMC route on Mt. Moran. First time I had met him. He asked where I was from and if there were a lot of good looking women there. Nice to meet one of my climbing idols.

Sorry. Didn't even see the previous thread.

Remind me not to drive through Enumclaw on my next trip to Rainier. Animal Sex

Shoot me a PM. I can give you the grand tour of the South Platte.

I put the answer in the comment box. The free shipping did not show up when I completed in the order but about 5 minutes later I received an email from customer service saying they creditted my account. As far as the 20% coupon being valid, I think it ended on April 3rd. Check out www.flamingoworld.com for a list of online coupons for STP and other outdoor stores.

My Alphas came in the mail yesterday. I order size 10(UK). I wear size 10(US) street shoe. The fit pretty darn well. Even though I ordered 10(UK), the shell says 9.5-10(UK). The 9.5-10(UK) might be a good option for someone who wears size 10(US).

Well JRCO took a shot based on the above posts. STP had only 11 and 11.5 (US)Alphas left. I wear 10 street shoes. Used online 20% discount (32905) and answered the trivia question for free shipping (USS Nautilus). Alphas cost a total of $119.

I say head for A-Basin or Loveland for cheaper skiing. More than enough terrain to keep you interested for a day. However, if Vail gets 10" or more the day you want to ski, head straight there but plan to spend $78 on the lift ticket and $16 to park. There is no free parking in Vail.
