I stand corrected.

excuse me, but I think you are referring to RATT, ( ) as opposed to RAT ( )

the "d" threw me as well

having trouble with that one...just got busted for craning my head upside down looking at monitor...

I think the Baumans made some diagrams of the Menagerie (one of them was the primary force behind the wilderness designation). I'll see if I can get it and post it as a PDF or something here.

That would be the South Santiam River. I've tooled around in the wilderness a bit but have not climbed anything there yet. Cool stuff.

Mille Sabords!

blistering barnacles dru.

If you're looking for summits on rock, here's some options down by Santiam Pass: Some moderate stuff: Mt. Washington, North Ridge (5.1) Three Fingered Jack (5.1) easy, fun climbing! Some more-involved stuff: Mt. Washington, West Face (5.6, exposed 4th class) some loose pro on the first pitch, avoid if anyone above you. Mt. Washington, West Ridge (5.7/5.8, exposed 4th class) Snow stuff (these are a bit of a march though): Sunshine, Mt. Hood Jeff Park G/Russell G., Mt. Jefferson (share a 5.1 traverse and pinnacle after some glacier)

yes the notice generates a lot of fear and uncertainty w/o the specifics. I guess the chemical penetrates to the kern? I don't see how it would fail otherwise. I'd like to see the numbers, but I would think a UIAA test suite is legit.

indeed, but there's a lot of us out there who can't do a 100 something dollar upgrade just to get the biweave stuff. I agree, they are great.

heh, the petercroftefier strikes again!

I think Zenolith may have mentioned this a while back (months ago), but here is a UIAA note about marking your rope. I, for one, thought a marker was okay. Guess not. http://www.uiaa.ch/commissions/newsitem.asp?idnews=191

"it's two-tool conditions in the gully" stern quote from dude coming down Mt. Washington N Ridge a few years back. small patch of ice found on the way up, easily avoided on one side.

Nice to see you making good use of the paste-n-glue sessions in kindergarten these days.

who was asking if trask ever climbed? evidence above.

"WOW THERE ARE PEOPLE UP THERE!" -exclamation from lady looking at the Emmons Glacier through spotting scope at Sunrise visitor center, Mt. Rainier. Too bad there wasn't any music at the lodge

"the hogsback is 50 degrees."

Dru and Flash Amazing, M.D. spraying at each other...it's like clash of the titans.

I thought a pocket knife was all I needed to avoid this hazard. maybe loud music is the answer... I think the real question is how much brush will I have on the way in? Please submit your climbing resumes and horsecock sizes before I consider the worthiness of your response.

trask is now scouring the darkest corners of the internet for the most disgusting images you can imagine. stay tuned to see the results. while you wait? how bout a musical interlude?
