About as much news as the Bible, the Koran, and The Stand.

OMG! DID YOU HEAR THE MOON LANDINGS WERE FAKED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAD JFK ASSASSINATED?!

Raindawg - are you calling Steve Sutton and Jim Sinclair liars? Unlike you, they still even climb hard.

Agreed. Have you used the new smaller-than-pinkie TriCams yet? I got the black one and it is the same size as the blue TCU. The smaller white one I decided not to get as that size is too small for my fingers to manipulate it so it might get stuck easily. Also the white one is like 6 kN and I already have a purple TCU and a yellow ZeroCam in that size.

TriCams are the shit. Get a double set of TriCams from pink to the first blue.

Because now there's so many "climbers" now that there is little accountability. Cams, etc. are expensive so the cheap punks found a gold mine. Hey old fart your bifocals must be rose-tinted. Even back as far as the early 70's there are plenty of climbers on record as complaining about ripoffs and gear thefts. Sounds like more that NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN 30 YEARS.

Craig McGee and partners freed the aid on this route but did not continue to the top (see AAJ). Craig said it should be renamed the "Pillar of Poo" due to the dirty cracks. Well the cracks might be cleaner now, but there could be some loose rock too This came down sometime between when I flew by there with Scurlock in January, and mid-August.

Trip: Stonerabbit Peak (Chehalis) - SE Face (900m 4th Class) Date: 9/28/2008 Trip Report: Chris Hood and myself took advantage of a brief window of opportunity created by the reactivation of Skwellepil Creek road for logging to tag this great route in the southern Chehalis. Four other climbers including Marc Leclerc were a couple of hours behind us. The SE Face of Stonerabbit was climbed by Reinhard Fabische and cc's own stemalot in 2004 or so and is notable for being sustained 3rd and 4th class for 900m with no bush at all, just quality easy climbing. It has had a couple of repeats and is becoming known as one of, if not the best, scrambling routes in SW BC. The only downer is the Skwellepil road which, like most of the Chehalis, is rarely driveable necessitating usually-long approaches. We left the Sasquatch Inn at 5:30 and were hiking by 7 or so. After half an hour or so, we caught some pretty alpenglow Soon we reached the creek coming down from Stonerabbit and headed straight up the drainage, the first 500m or so of the route follows this watercourse on smooth, waterworn slabs, and is generally sustained 3rd class with boulder problems, sometimes wet. After the first 500m or so up the drainage you reach a halfway point with pools of water and a talus ledge where you leave the drainage and start climbing the face proper: Looking up Route line from the talus ledge to the top Now you are on dry slabs with chickenheads and the climbing is fucking awesome. It gradually steepens and gets harder as you ascend, near the top, a rising traverse to the left takes you a long way along a delightfully incut, grassy joint line. Then up and back right to gain the hanging talus patch high on the face. Lots of exposure here. From the talus patch we cut left up the upper south ridge to the summit although you can also go straight up to the upper East ridge (FA party as well as the group following us went this way) The summit is a pretty cool place, great views of Robie Reid, Judge Howay and the Chehalis peaks The we descended the west ridge, cut back under the SW Face (10 pitches 5.6) and descended the lower drainage back to the road and out to the car. 9 hours car to car, never needed to use the headlamps and were back at the Sasquatch by 5ish for beer and burgers This is, despite being a bit easy for a "climb", a 5 star alpine route - possibly one of the best in SW BC. wWll worth doing. Gear Notes: Go light! Sticky rubber approach shoes is pretty much all you really need, a helmet is good too. Steve says you can fly back to the car in 15 mins if you take a paraglider up. Approach Notes: Chehalis FSR to 30km is 2wd. Skwellepil Creek Road is 4km of high clearance 2wd to 4km (active logging) then 40 minutes of walking to the start of the route. Skwellepil Creek will be washed out over the coming winter and the existing Bailey bridge over Skwellepil Cr. on the Chehalis mainline will be removed, probably in November. Once removed it will be a 10km hike plus a creek ford to get you to the route. still well worth doing, but much more of a daytrip for the next month or so, so go do it now.

The best climber in Washington is in Spain?

HAW HAW HAW!

You aren't tall enough to be on that ride.

Cool Hand Luke is nothing next to SLAP SHOT!

Cortisone shots will lead to worse tendinitis later on and posibly complete destruction of the tendon

"Hey Hanrahan! Suzanne sucks pussy!"

Second rotation.

If you don't give a shit about your paint job and get the keys from the hatchery you can drive up Center Crek all the way to across from Rexford right now. It'll be better next year once the timber sale goes through though. The crew was just in today finishing up welding the new bridge together.

What you two are arguing over as Stumpy Hill vs. Wooded Stump is in fact Mt Parkes named after Fred Parkes who was in on the FA of Slesse.

you said "clucking" 8D

but except for the Mormons they have their multiple wives one at a time?

I got attacked by a bear last weekend! Well, it was a dog, and it licked me, but hey, it was black.

1) Wasps are not bees. 2) They sting, they do not bite.

I see what you did there.

There are slide alder and Devil's club on the approach to Everest? I expected better - dysentery on page 20, porter strike on p.100, WiFi failure at basecamp p. 165, Annabelle Bond sighting p. 200, more dysentery p.201, ladder collapse on the Khumbu p. 273, serac collapse wipes out Camp II p. 291, support team member caught sleeping with Sherpa p. 297, etc.

These are rare and hard to find artifacts, Peter. How does $50 each sound?
