Does this mean I am driving next time we climb? Seriously, that sucks and I hope they find the losers who got it.

Kieth, if those skiis/boots are still available I would snag em off ya for Tyler.

How about driving up to exit 38 to meet a partner who never shows up, and will not answer my reply's. So I got to watch other's climb and then drive back home steamed. What a twit.

The good climbing at 11worth,camping,fall colors, The bad Partner got a speeding ticket a bit west of castle rock. The ugly The freakin traffic jam Sunday through sultan ... All in all a weekend.

Just saw some video of the damage up there. Pretty safe to say it will be closed for quite awhile. Tore the shit up. Makes you wonder what other damage is done to trails and side roads.

Or spring,summer or fall for that matter. I have seen it pretty harsh up there in the middle of summer. Josh, my vote for what you are looking for would be up towards terror basin. Fairly good trail and cool wanderings higher up. All peaks are low enough so you could prolly catch some cool views with the wind and clouds.

Smith rock is a blast in particular that monkey face rte. Have fun

Ha, you are to a subamaza!!

climbed an ice cube.

Last I checked Jayb and myself are heading down. Never been to smiff yet, sounds like fun.

Neighbor gave me a big ass salmon he caught this afternoon.

Never heard of Keyes peak? wonder where that is

Ditto that Bug. My imaginary shot is the southern Pickets in B&W.

Heading to the southern pickets. Anyone want to join me.

My latest wish list 1> North ridge of sherpa. 2> Checkout the climbing in the enchantments next month. 3> More ice and mixed rt's this coming season.

Damn Ralph sorry to here bout that. I as well wish you a speedy recovery. for the SAR people and to your partner. Is that Mt. jinxed or what?

Better to bring your own. But those little orange glacier pulleys won't fit. Gotta go with next size bigger.

Those are some great TR and pic's. Had a great time and cool to meet a bunch of the other dad's. Tyler had a great time as well and was out like a light before we even hit US 2. Some highlights. Walking across the bridge in the semi dark. Kid jumps out at me from under the bridge. "I am a troll" hmmm I think a true cc.com JR. Kid's playing with light sticks, neika walks up (curly tail) Kid says, and attempts "lets put this light stick in her butt. Three year old wakes up from first night out in a tent. "I wanna go home" 10 minutes later I saw him running through the woods and saw very little of him the next 2 hours. Little guy slightly sketched out up on the rock. "dad I think my knot is coming untied". yeah, now who is sketched out" That was the quickest bug climb I ever did see. Great time by all. can't wait till next year. Oh yeah and wondering what all the mom's had to say. Mine took one look and said bathtime. YOU THINK??

Thanks that is all good info. haha Just asked Tyler if he wanted to go swimming in the river. "yeah, but I don't want the sharks to get my finger's"

Wondering where bouts everyone will be on Sat? That really sucks about no fires as I thought that would be the highlight . Any and all beta on a first camp-out trip is welcome.

right on!

Got thinking about those biners last night. I think I would wing and fling em. Reflecting on the big guy that took a fatal fall at vantage last year. If I remember correctly there was some suspect biner or something at the top. Could be wrong???

Yeah and fiddle with that jammed little cam while yer at it. Story:slight finger locked off, found the perfect cam on thinker's rack to get in first try. Pulled the trigger and the thing went boing and pretty much folded up on itself??? Tried a few more times and no way. Tried another piece,wrong fit and nothing else. Had to suck it up and go. It's all good and made it interesting.

Okay good call peter puget, I was just going by the topo off the website. Hmmmm is there a guide book that we don't know about.
