Dragontail is accessible without snow work if you access it from near Little Annapurna and cross below the ridge crest to the south all the way to the base of the east side of Dragontail. This puts you in the col at the top of the snow. From there it is a scramble/hike.

You don't

Don't do it! Just sit on the couch. The hike is too long. The climbing is too easy. There is only a view and nothing else.

Whatever else Yvon does/did, he helped support a grassroots group to keep oil and gas out of the Bob Marshall wilderness and adjacent RARE II lands.

Yup, that was the 60's for me too.

I am never alone.

Ventura highway in the moonshine.

I climb in Patagucci because it comes in XXXL.

Cool. Experience is golden.

Men marry a woman thinking she will not change. She does. Women marry a man thinking he will change. He does not.

Cool. Thanks for the pics and fun TR!

I will. Anyone else interested in a simul-solo of the WR?

Unless this is followed with "because I'm bringing enough for the both of us" a sure sign someone is a bad partner Yeah. Could be dangerous. In past years there has always been a keg that magically appeared. Did Pyramid donate it last year? This year it is not yet a given so I spoke out of turn. Bring beer just in case.

I'll see you guys up there. I am leaving work in Issaquah Friday 2PM and hiking until dark. Wake me up if I am still asleep when you go by.

I have always taken one or two up the R&D Route on Icicle buttress on Sunday AM (no strings attached). It is a 4 pitch 5.6. Easy, safe, fun. All are welcome. All you need are shoes and harness. Helmets are advised but not enforced. You can rent gear at the mountain shop in Leavenworth.

Makes for a slow day here at work.

Pics! Where are the pics? Nice tr otherwise.

Did he have his clothes on your fantasy?

Maybe it was just another descent by Jamin.

i am a mom it is my job to be up tight. they have a dad to introduce them to the wild and crazy side of life a person can not be muffy and mommy all at the same time.... They will discover your true identity and use it against you when they are teenagers. Better to get it out in the open now. oh shit BTW The "uptight" comment was at parents in general. Not a personal attack. Although you do seem to have a nerve ending there. Oh and one more thing, your kids are going to figure out how to search the cc.com database on "Muffy_The_Wanker_Sprayer" before you figure out they have. Get your rationalizations ready now.

At kids ropeup we just proceed as though we are at ropeup. The kids don't pay any attention. Maybe its because they can relate to us better when we aren't so uptight.

Yeah. Actually, if the truth be known, I don't get drunk anymore. I just pass out after two beers. I know I can count on my friends at cc.com to resist sticking pine needles in my orifices and lighting them. There is always an interesting mix of people there. Cheers!

Just kidding. CC.Com hosts a bevy of gorgeous women. They show up in Prana and snugtops. But they are quick. I have not gotten close to any of them.

Zero. Stop posting.
