The authors of FOTH are responsible for maintaining summit registers on many peaks in WA. When filled, they are sent to the state archives. I was up on Maude a couple weeks ago. I didn't find a register, but found a shard of PVC pipe. Others on this forum have detailed a fondness for destroying or hucking summit registers.

An inch is a measure of length. A cubic inch is a measure of volume (a cube one inch on each side). A liter is already a measure of volume (a cube 10 cm on each side). So what the heck is a cubic liter? - Amuricun Tom

I doubt that.

My experience has been pretty hit-or-miss. Sometimes they get it right, othertimes they need to pull their heads out of their asses.

The Stekekin Valley road is washed out at mp 9.5 anyway. "No National Park Service shuttle service due to road damage: The Stehekin Valley Road from High Bridge to Glory, where the National Park Service usually provides shuttle service in the summer, was severely damaged and will not be available for use in 2004. Therefore, there will be no shuttle service above High Bridge. At this writing (May 11) the Stehekin River continues to occupy a stretch of the Stehekin Valley Road a half mile above the Stehekin River Ranch. The National Park Service anticipates that a private permittee will again provide bus service from Stehekin Landing 9.5 miles to this point. The Bullion Loop Trail and the Old Wagon Road Trail (Pacific Crest Trail) provides hikers and horseback riders with a route around a significant portion of the damaged road. (Bicyclists may use the Bullion Loop Trail to bypass the flooded road section as far as Bullion Camp, where they can rejoin the road. Please note that all other trails in the North Cascades National Park Service Complex are closed to bicycles as well as to motorized vehicles.)"

When you are an aid climber, you must learn to stand tall in the saddle. I like to say, "It always looks better from the next step up." - Dr. Piton

I just wanted to spread the word about a group that has formed to motivate political action in the climbing community. They are called Climbers4Christ, (guess who we support), and we have a website that talks about Christ's positions on issues that affect climbers. They also have testimonials from climbers about why this is so important to them. Check it out! www.climbingforchrist.org

Started the climb with a full rack of cams Sunday but came up one short at the top. Probably placed in the first pitch of Calculus Crack on the Apron. Thanks.

And I have a used one to sell!

Ya, and Twight uses the photos to generate slideshow "business".

Ummm, Allison, it's in the Press Release on the Omega-Pacific website. The announcement comes on the heels of a May 13, 2004 ruling by the Washington State Supreme court which declares participation in the Class I Correctional Industries program inconsistent with constitutional language. Omega Pacific has been a participating member of the combined federal/State program since 1995 and has built the majority of their goods within the Airway Heights Medium Security Correctional Center outside Spokane, Washington. The State Supreme Court had been considering this ruling, which affects seven companies and approximately 175 jobs held by inmate workers, for several months before reaching a 5-4 decision.

Rhymes with "Gyng-vee". It's pronounced "Good-ee," right?

I'd like to see your proof on the emissions bit.
