Dragontail rock is dry super nice and great to climb right now....go get some! Serpentine arete: BP and I left seattle at 9ish. got to S/C Lake parking lot at 1230. colchuck lake 5635' 1402, BaseCamp 5740' 1503, Abcamp 6800' 1542, camp1 on Serpentine route 6920' 1603, camp 2 7885' 1713, top of dragontail (my first time) 8830' 1839, Assgard Pass 7760' 1906, Colchuck Lake 5675' 1920, trailhead 2017 and 38seconds. Lounging at the lake and elsewhere on route approx 1.75 hrs. Pics to follow via BP; all rock climbing and hiking done sans rope. gear: shoes, chalkbag, harness, small rack, brandnew 30m rope, water, 2cliffbars, spicy peanuts, two packs, camera, jackets, hats, sunglasses, firstaid kit, bp's flipflops, trailshoes and a lots of slings. BP and I noted that next time all we need is: shoes, chalkbag, water, small pack, 4 cliffbars, "2" cameras, trailshoes, swimsuits, and beer stashed in the lake. killer bluedome to partly cloudy weather.

there are tons of caves and deep tunnels to explore all over the place...ya just need to talk to the right people. nice tr...

next time i go to snow creek wall. umbrella tree and temptest. wanna go?

on the drive to dragontail... modestmouse, portishead, radiohead, stereolab, techno, built to spill, widespread panic and dire straits.

which route?

bring yer glue!

"What have you done lately to crack yourself up? " started hanging out with bp...

so, after greasing up thin fingers, bp and i proceeded to get a touch drunk and stuff. met some kool kats from eburg and parteed the night away with them at the local redneck campsite on the river....1am pass out in the back of the sube....530am drive like mad for the city and my favorite hole in the city at the Seattle Art Museum....730am find out i don't have to work in the hole but at the office...later my boss tells me i should have called in sick and continued climbing at index. damn!! BTW- the lightening at index last night was well, spectacular...

about a year, with five or six encounters. oh you meant rocks. the arete on the fridge took a bunch of years... guillotine; five tries, four times landing in the bush when the blind cam placement ripped out. Twelve years of stare'n at Thin Fingers. Blew the flash at the second bulge. too slippery last night and BP and I AO'd the face but no airtime in the crack. Don't forget your pink chalkbag next time...kevbone....hah!
