quote: Originally posted by Bronco: nice story Drew. It got me thinking One time several years ago, me and a buddy were elk hunting on Timberwolf Mountain (you can drive right off the summit of that sucker) near Naches and I discovered a 3' x 7' mound of freshly turned dirt miles from any road, I thought it might be the shallow grave of an FBI informant or other unfortunate soul. I pointed it out to my friend and he gleefully shouted "I get the skull!" then frantically dug up the entire mound. There was nothing there, but I took note of my hunting parter's behavior. Health Tip for Next Year: take cartridges out of your partner's rifle while he is sleeping. Elk is Yummy!!

Hey Highlander, aren't you supposed to be molding young minds? Is this what we get with our tax dollars: teachers cruising the 'net during school hours? Greg

Talk to JayB, he was up there this weekend.

quote: Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman: Did you eat Gu for this super alpinesufferfest? With plenty of alcohol and some introspection last night, I realized a couple things I did wrong: 1. I didn't pack my ten essentials 2. Did not consult "Extreme Alpinism", by Mark Twight for extra tips/tricks and inspiration. 3. Forgot extra batteries for my GPS 4. Did not spend enough time in front of the mirror repeating: "Climb hard, climb fast, don't lose your edge! Focus, focus, focus." Ah, well. Live and learn. It'll be there next year.

CONSULTING THE TICK LIST Woke up Sunday feeling strong. Decided to make an attempt on a classic psuedo-subalpine route I had scoped several times over the past few years: The Marymoor Park Climbing Wall. THE APPROACH After a couple of stops to provision (and pick up some cleaning products for the house) we made the trailhead. It was obvious we lost the advantage of an "alpine start" since the parking lot was busy; apparently I'm not the only one who had their eye on this gem. We packed up, located the approach trail and took off. I was planning on soloing the route, but my family was joining me on the approach. A combination of sandbagging regarding the difficulty of the approach and carrying too much gear forced us to drop most of our gear at the halfway point and go fast and light the rest of the way. My daughter worked on her orienteering skills the rest of the way; she's a toddler Nancy Feagin, that one! COMMIT OR BAIL As I reached the base of the route, the butterflies went into high gear in my stomach. I scoped my line; fighting the mindgames the rock was trying to play with me. I bailed...the weather looked questionable. Some other teams were on the route, but they looked seasoned and hardcore. Translation: Went to Marymoor on a picnic with the fam, watched gapers and gumbies flail onthe climbing wall in helmets and backpacks. Went and played on the swings. Went home.

Didn't Captain Kirk seduce a green bitch in one of the early Star Trek episodes?

Mike: No diamox? Hypoxia? Dizziness? It's not an epic unless you have a physical malady. Anyway, way to climb responsibly; good job!! Greg

quote: Originally posted by scot'teryx: Went up last weekend on the slog Long approach right now, so be aware. Here's my trip report: http://www.nwog.org/reports/060202adams.htm Does this guy write a trip report every time he goes more than 5 miles from his house?

Had a good view of Green Giant Buttress last Sunday. There is snow at the base, and looks like there is some snow on the approach. Don't remember what the top looked like. [ 06-07-2002, 01:41 PM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

quote: Originally posted by ScottP: [/QB]Much the way the US did during the Vietnam conflict.[/QB] You are making a blanket statement that is impossible to back up. The Viet Cong viewed US soldiers as inferior, as many US soldiers saw them. Read "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young" (don't just rent the DVD). There were many heroes that came out of the Vietnam War; your blanket statement cheapens their heroism. Just my opinion. Greg

Too true, the war in Europe seems to get all the press, but the Pacific War was incredibly brutal from all that I've read/heard. There was no "Geneva Convention" in the Pacific Theater. Thank a vet!
