Though not worthy of a trip report, just thought I'd pass on that E38 has dried out nicely.. Fun climbs, some routes are almost like new routes due to the sluffing. Got out for a non-alpine start heading for vantage... As we were driving by E32, looked up and saw the most amazing blue sky peeking through white cotton candy clouds. Thought, Hmmmmm.... drive drive drive, or check out E38 and climb climb climb. The decision was made _before_ we got to the exit, luckily, and we were rewarded with a near (and then shortly after) empty parking lot... OH how I love weekday climbing. A short hike up (there is a new tree across the trail) and we were climbing fools, and even made it back in time for pubclub. Noteworthy: The beer drinking, MaryJane smoking, "rapellers"... "gez, we don't understand why you go to all that work to climb up... you can just walk around" sitting at the top of the climb, reminiscing about the old days before all us sporty thrill seekers started to traffic up the backwoods. Also of note: Goats in backpacks... Training for multi-day hikes. Little frame backpacks, very nicely made, not like doggy saddle bags... More like Llama packs or something. No, I'm not kidding, there were two, and their owner said "they are better hiking companions than the dog, they don't run off" and I'll be darned if they were not totally imprinted on her, followed her like duckling. AND, they are surefooted and can carry up to 60 pounds! So that was Exit 38. Many thanks to Loren (cascadeclimber) and Craig (Rocksanyone) for a fantastic day!!!! goats More my style... no goats for me...

Hmm.. I don't agree about kneebars = spurs. Spurs are added by the human... Kneebars come with the route, and are sort of figured in to the grade (I thought) or at least the route description.

Oh, I want one of those hats... Hmmm.. I guess a chick version would be too risque.

Hey, I can say that, my younger bro is in alaska... My Denali climbing partner... WOOOOoooHOoooo! When is cc.com ever PC?

mmm... carnivores... BBQ... It's making me hungry just thinking about it.

You look rather redneck in that picture Greg, suspenders, short hair, no clogs... Look like you're from Okanogan county or Alaska or something... As far as the BBQ is concerned, a non PC day would be cool, maybe get some of those peeps who can't come on tuesdays.

What kind of time frame do people want here? Isn't the first day of spring coming up soon? I'll help organize, but need input input!

Sounds like a great idea...

hey scott, does your girlfriend know you're using her as your avatar?

Another agreement with TLG and Snoboy...

Nice quiz Urd...

Hope they are as okay as they can be considering.

Good, it's settled then, now start rounding up your climbing buddies and let's make this a fine gathering. People start filtering in around 6:30-7 and stay till whenever.

Hey, Kudo's to Greg_W for posting something postitive, thanks man!

"Watch me" = Hold still or 10,000 mini-me's won't be able to wait "Take!" = oops... sorry honey, I just couldn't hold back, sorry about the dress...

Please send this thread to spray...

enemy of good... (is better) Like sewing moonbeams to flatus

last week, Canturbury's was discussed. There were no dissenting votes. The Wedgewood broiler was mentioned in passing. Discuss...

nice.

topically (as in laying your hands on a person with latex sensitivity) I have not heard of anaphylactic reaction (that does not mean it is not possible). I have seen one such reaction when latex gloves were used inside a known latex sensetive person during surgery. Almost all hospitals have gone to latex free/poweder free exam gloves, not only for the patient but the healthcare provider. We still use some latex gloves in the Operating Room because the surgeons insist that they have better "feel".
