Looking to ski... Midweek or on weekend.

Good idea, Jon!

Where to go for beer? Bigtime is walking distance, and I like their brews.

I was seated far right about five rows up, wearing a red vest and yellow/orange shirt. (Was teaching Mounties at Mt. Erie earlier that day.)

yep, sent out notices on fri

I enjoyed her show.

What/where is Winco?

Did Outer Space today. (Remorse start, 5.9 pitch above two tree ledge, 5.9 start to the last pitch) What a classic route! Those chickenheads up there are wild! Partner was quite late picking me up in the morning, so we weren't at the base of the route ready to climb until nearly noon. After my partner (who intended to swing leads) spent well over an hour following the 5.8 traverse pitch (I protected before and after each traverse but not in the middle of the traverse, meaning the follower could be subject to 12-foot pendulums) and spent an hour leading the 5.7 pitch between One Tree Ledge and Two Tree Ledge, I ended up leading the remaining pitches so we'd top out before dark. Luckily there were no parties behind us. Well, we topped out before dark, but it took partner 2 hours to descend from the top to Snow Creek, and we took, as far as I can tell, a nearly optimal descent route. At least there was a full moon and I could see my moon shadow. No snow on route, though some on the approach and descent. It's raining ticks over there. Brushed off many of them over the course of the day and picked six more off of me when I got home (most of them in my hair).

I did an unverified speed ascent of the route!

I'm sure you can get a route named in your honor too. Minx's Mantle?

"He's got prominence!" Klenke can now explain the difference between clean prominence and dirty prominence.

Yeah, that last pitch of GM is pretty burly.

in the HUB Auditorium. Tickets will be available at the door or in advance at the HUB Ticket Office. UW folks: $3, non-UW folks: $5 We'll go out for beer afterward!

still plenty of tickets left

GT is going to whoop up on UConn just as they did earlier this season. That's if Duke doesn't take out UConn first.

Yellow Jackets all the way!!!

Looking for random midweek partners for random midweek stuff. Would like to ski St. Helens later this week. Cragging at Index or Lworth. Couloirs on Colchuck. Whatever. I'm in the U District and don't have a car but will provide beer and gas.

I can only see it if I'm logged in.

a one-finger fingerlock?

Is it oxygen-assisted???

Yeah, I think a lot of people use the White Salmon as a descent route for the North Face.

Sorry to hear about your teeth and your Euro trip plans.

Especially not with braces.
