wunderbar!

hood s side is an easy day-trip, but do the smart thing and do luetholds or the reid instead...

umm, what does posting in this thread have to do w/ those two most atavistic of needs?

ozone is the best call for sure, though it's kinda like getting blown by a guy... i'm always looking for a partner, though driving down to pdx to pick you up would suck.

the ow on backbone's a joke, and i should know, being the punk grappler i am - especially if you have a big piece (i used a wild coutnry #6) it's titantic fun and very, very easy (the fin pitches up higher i think are much more thought-provoking, espeically as the rock up there is typically crummier) - i seriously considered rapping back down so i could lead the ow again it was so fun - it's not even vertical and the rock's very textured so you can stem on the left side, arm-bar in the crack while shoving the gear up to give yourself the tr, and have your right foot easily out on the face i imagine it'd be a bit funkier in winter...

looking for someone to climb at the o-o-o-o-o-gawd-zone sunday....

nice - i remember you telling me that story 'roudn the time i first met you - met a guy recently who had a big epic on the same wind mtn, though for him it involved a choice between a suicide cliff and crawling through an endlessly huge thicket of poison oak - apparently his entire body was melting off him 2 days later and he had to be hospitalized - pity, it looks like such a fine place...

similiar story for me, but i bet local homeless folks will be wiling to help out for the same deal!

it doesn't mention cursing or swearing at all?

that should definetly been taken back to rei, and if necessary, torn into pieces!

so did you have to buy new underpants or what? being alive = so hot right now!

This is a better description of what I did. I like it a lot but have not done the Backbone so I can't compare. I have done Serpentine and like this one better by a lot. Not as much loose rock and a better line in general. It is a cruise with a few "cruxes" of 5.7. Very straight forward route finding. No 5.9 compared to Backbone. You could opt to do the fin too. If you look in the Becky Book, it is actually a combo of two lines that cross at the base of the fin. in summer do you have to finish up the last coulior or can you stay on rock?

hey, that sounds almost like MY T-F traverse! what a piece of shit ridge before forbidden...

I SAW IT ALL GO DOWN AT VANTAGE THIS WEEKEND!!!

wow - the hourglass does indeed look awesome - and a nice snow-cave to boot!

i wish i could leak on some documents

actually i armed meself in seattle, home of the sausuage house - we did a lot of driving that night, mostly along every side and side of a side-road in the index vicinity

get layton to narrate our last trip to index 2gether - 2 a.m. in a homeless squatter's camp attempting to barter a bunch of bad beer for a cell phone, harrased by an obdurate equine, armed only w/ a bread-knife stolen from some bavarian whore-house a few hours earlier - now that ePiC!

how fun does this route compare as a summer one? relative to backbone?

you'll find steps all the way to the top of the coulior maybe you'll get lucky and it'll actually have turned into neve by then?

pic? where do you come up with this stuff, Ivan? loosely based on a stephen king line from "salems lot" (i think)

there was no fantasy - tvash likes to take pictures - no one was drooling over chick - the fact that she was the most attractive of the dozen bulbous bastards lounging around the crag REALLY ain't saying much either wierd = good - without some characters to liven up the joint the whole state is like a mormon tabernacle choir circle jerk w/ the last one to come having to buy the malteds afterwards now, for serious conversation - when the fuck is the portashitter at vantage getting dumped? the next link someone tries to drop there ain't gonna go nowhere... :puke:

ack! i couldn't get this visceral image of nipple being rubbed off w/ granite out of my mind!

but where are your pictures of the crag-bunnies firkrisakes?!?

hey - now that's it spray, can we repost the pic so we can have the crew give it the old cc.com photoshop treatment?!
