weird how it has that quarter-like growth on the side.

I want to see more drunken canadian fire portaging between campsites.

ahhhh meadows. looking forward to some chronicles of gnarnia this year.

well you are considering jumping off a bridge attached to a piece of nylon so perhaps that could be exhibit A for brain damage... have fun and don't get on kgw.

The real risk here is a potential swim in the Willamette.

This thread is obviously going to be pretty sweet. None of that sesame street shit like over in the Beacon thread.

I'll see your alps shot and raise you a berner oberland:

I'm here to post to this important thread.

I love these eastern washington crag threads. Swear to god I do.

I hope you have the awesome Chouinard ratchet wrench to place this.

adamants - so cool and so hard to get to.

I have been to a few of them but I haven't met you. My climbing partners were a little scared off by the crowds and bongo drums so I wasn't around for very long.

no snow. Not hard, very exposed. 5.1? Your safety will come down to your evaluation of loose rock, not your climbing skill. I don't think lots of people solo 3FJ. But it is certainly soloable. Be careful on the loose rock. It killed a friend last year. After she soloed the hard stuff.

Good choice. While I have never made it up to the other thing, the smith shindig is approx. 1 billion times cooler. but maybe everyone from the other thing makes it down to smith too.

Watch out for a wasp nest about 1/3 up flying dutchman. They start coming out the crack and flying around in your face if you poke around in there. This was there last year too and it got cleared out but they seem to be back.

Interestingly this year, Sunshine has some particularly massive crevasses up high which push you over onto Eliot HW and the large runnel systems that form after about April over there. Not sure what's going on up there. I wouldn't recommend it. You could get onto Cathedral Ridge on the far right and slog your way up that thing, but unless you like climbing piles of raisin bran it's just not a lot of fun. I think a more fun day could be had ice climbing on the Eliot but some people are determined to slog choss. You might have a fun time climbing through the Coe Icefall that time of year. It would certainly be a good challenge.

You will encounter poor, if not life-threatening conditions on any headwall route right now.

Unfortunately despite the benefits it provides, the internet is sometimes too good at what it does. My understanding is people appreciate the significant time and expense represented by the new anchors, but do not feel the gps locations of loose rocks and bird species, mass of dirt necessary to sustain tree life, train schedules, ambient air temps of tunnel #1 etc need to be broadcast across the planet.

eastern washington sounds like a sweet place to climb

but...but this is the internet! how else are we to admire how worn the numbathrees on his rack are?

Time and location? I just might be free. If so I also have a truck if that helps.

He claimed to me to have a bunch of betamax tapes. Sounds like he got them all converted over to the new technology.
