ding dong, long shlong, long dong or whatever....my nuts tool is all iron

ok will go anywhere... maybe to the exits???

Anyone in the mood to climb rock I have the day off I was thinking Darrington or 11worth any takers the day is still young…. 206-328-2446

Prussik are cool tiblocks are better, pulley is good traxion is better it is all about Efficiency Vs Weight for me also 1 picket or a fluke per person (conditions dependent)

Does it really matter??? Anything but boldering is good

common anyone??? 206-328-2446

I have the NE 3/4 Static and it did made the difference for hulling >120#. Hulling with dynamic is a pain in the ass, anchoring to the same system, as your haul is stupid. The haul anchor is only backed up to the belay anchor (two separate anchors) also jugging on dynamic is a new kind of suffering (but sometimes you have to). Get static rope for fixing and hulling ya will not be sorry

Great route would love to do it again

one time I tried the so call "Hummus" you get here in the USA and that shit is NASTY!!! since then I make it from scratch like mama did (grewup in the middle east). the only brand that sale good hummus, here in the US (and many other veriaty of middle estern salads), is SABRA and u can find it at the QFC at the U village or the Albertson in mercer island. my personal favorit is te chummus style.

A little too late but here is my take on the trip I was on baker the W/E of 5/21-22 and around 4:00 pm on Saturday, it all started. We just were at the end of the Heliotrope ridge, as the wind started to pick up around 2:15 pm but we thought that it wasn’t that bad so we continued on. Around 3:00 pm, we were leaning toward the wind in order to stay on the west Colman glacier as we making our way toward 7500 feet. The original plan of camping below the saddle was scraped as we found a seemingly refuge at the rocks outcrops in front of Lincoln peak. We dug a site and set up the tent, quick dinner and water melt and we went in to sleep, it was 4:45 pm. the tent was shaking like a piñata in the middle of Mexico City on El Dia de los Muertos. Needless to say, I couldn’t sleep as the noise was of a Sherman tank on full throttle. At midnight, I finally gave up and went outside to stake the tent down securely and the noise seems to subside a little. around 4:00 am, I woke up to my partner vigorous kicking of the tent wall and realize that the wind buried us half way up the tent walls, in snow. I asked if we still thinking on summit only to get that “go fuck yourself I am staying here” look out of my partner. We lay in for about an hour and then tunnel our way out the tent and broke camp. We started heading back down around 5:45 am. Going back was as adventure of its own, as we had a visibility of 20 feet. We manage to get on a wand trail leading us back down. By 7:30 am, we were on the bottom of the Heliotrope ridge as the sun was trying to glimpse through the clouds. We crack the beer and had breakfast. I had another fine day with friends on the mountain.

Brand New!!! Never used in the original nylon bag $30 OBO 206-328-2446

as ya all know I am the ultimate gaper. So I was wondering if anyone know 1 in what condition the Colman headwall is? 2 on the gear aspect do I need 2 tools to do the headwall? 3 the traverse from the foot of Colfax/below the saddle (point 8800) toward Colman HW below the Roman Nose is it in good condition or should I scrap it? My thought was to get to that Point (8800), camp, and decide than whether to do the C-D or the CHW the info will definitely help me to lighten my backpack and save time so all info is welcome.
