soooo.... anyone wanna do the friday thing..?contrary to all the shit people are spraying about me, i'm actually a motivated/ competent partner...a little bit of a bum, sure, but down to get it done. lets climb!-bp

hey jja, didn't we meet on the bear-hug pitch...that reminds me, you can also just solo up on a weekend and use other climbers on route as back up pro...if ya slip just go for the flying bear-hug catch -bp

wow...its like youre saying i'm a dirtbag or something...yeah so if anyone wants to climb with me, its either your car, or hitchhike with me, youre rack or my rack of 3 hexes and some leaver biners, your rope, or my old funky, and what-up with my pants now, denims not tech enough ...no sweat tho really- i'll get up stuff regardless -bp oh yeah i have a car to use for the next week or so, so i can drive, and i'm sure i can round up gear and shit too, but i'm standing firm on the jeans and no spoon-gotta keep it real

the south arete on sews at wa pass is a good hike to streak... the summit is also one of the more scenic shaggin spots in the area... and climbing, i mean does it get any better really..? -bp

i would like to climb rocks in pretty places on these days... one or both... near or far...good weather would be cool. i'm up 4 whatevs mas y menos-bp

great route, tho i'd pare the rack down to some hexes and stoppers and such- go springless its all "light and fast" and shit...but seriously if its at yer level gear to 3.5/ 4 should be plenty. i think a hibatchi, a cooler full of PBR's, some meat ta eat, and freaks to meet would do you better than a bunch a gadets...just get yer freak on, on the ledges- the rock climbings totally secure, all there, and alot of fun. no need to run up there all early in the morning either... take the lesurely approach, and climb it later in the day, it gets awesome afternoon sun and even gets better later, think sunsetting behind the cascades to the west, and silver star, and kangaroo ridge turning pink with the last rays of the day... it may make you just just my .02-bp

lovely day at the pass...weird, there was nobody around. did a great route with my long-time climbing partner, the dood who got me all goofy for the pass back in the day, when he took me up the east butt of sews...thanx natty for bustin out and rallyin' with the good weather goodtimes-bp

so tru... tho i can usually handle the craggin thing pretty well... its just the rest of it that i slip on... i'm headin to the pass tonite, leaving sometime today for b-ham...can we meet-up..?-bp

lets do this

weather looks best on tuesday...anyone interested in rolling out to wapass monday nite, and climb all day tuesday, many spires, tons o' pitches, classic routes, easy accsesability etc...or somewhere closer like index could be cool as well. just wanna do somethin' with the one nice day they're showing this week-bp

did we miss sumptin..?

slappy, you gots me interest piqued! i'll give ya a ring that photos from some chossy ugly area in california somewhere...-bp

looking to head to the wa pass this week...if you wanna go lets do it. i've done a bit out there so if theres routes someone wants to get on lemme know. otherwise index now, or later whatevs... i have no transpo, so hooking up with mobile folks would be keen... -bp

naw, pretty sure that was the book ingrid and i bought a few years ago...easy come easy go, i'll just consult you for info- when we get together and hit it up get up here -bp

hey girlfriend! i'm back...and ready for you sweetie

border issues...tho no sweat, squamish and the chehalis is coo' but so's the pass, or enchantmnts, ja'kno..? come up lets clamber up some chunks... :grlaf

wapass till tuesday...i gonna be out there soling around on things and looking for folks to potentially rope up with for some shoit...lemme know soon or look for the dood cruzing around the spires and say hey...

now i see what you wanna do, you want o walk in rock shoes from the base of the s. arete to the base of the e. butt..? well i've never done or considered that... because the terrain around the base of the se face is pretty varried and has a bit of looseness, but its not all that bad, head along the base of the wall until it drops off above the small crag thats in front of the face, downclimb past the start of passanger route, then along the face still passing the start of that bolted line, past inferno route, and keep heading towards the toe of the butt. ive gone the reverse before and it didn't take too long. specialed and lunger i belive approached this way as i saw their tracks, but then again this was with sno...so.... and they were skiing down after sending the butt..! rad!!!!

fuck! now i feel like an idiot for at least not pretending to steal your shit, just to see what you would do ? well youre a big dood, but i aint scurred! see ya on another descent route someday have fun out there

supa-fun!!!! oh yeah for all interested the eastbutt is in really good shape...dry as can be, great snow all the way from the hairpin to the base of the route, and as ben described perfect afternoon snow for the glissade down to the car. our original intention was to do a bit of enchainin' of spires that day, but freezing temps, sno flurries, and the satifaction with doing the best positioned route at the pass (IMO) had us on our way to b-ham... we had a hard time resisting the temptation to "borrow" the at gear sitting at the base of the s. arete, belonging to the fellow tied in and belaying his leader as he sewed up the first "pitch" on the arete... fuckin karma, woulda' been a blast tho to rip down spire gulley, all in all tho the glissading was ill, and we were giggling the entire way down good times! oh and ifin yer eva up 542 east stop at the alpenglow farms for pie for sure... the marion/ rasberry, or tayberry pies will give you a stomach orgasm, and then of course on youre way back west a stop at the northfork brewery is pretty much mandatory, the ipa will rock your dome!!!! and the pizza pretty damn good too oh yeah the snag butt is hard to beat for sunset action! lovely!!!! eerie pretty cool sometimes, espesially when yer heading up after everyones already finished for the day great weekend ben!!!! thanx bro

yes so skuzzy and myself decided that on the heels of his 10 hr. work day, and my 2 hr. psudeo wrk/ hangout day we should run around town while everyones onthe roads trying to get home... a pit stop to retrive essential safty items, and we were out to index. along the way we executed the elusive, yet suprisingly simple moving driver change. with seats fully reclined the passenger scoots all the way into the back more or less and the driver wiggles on over holding the wheel, left foot still in the vicinty of the pedals. then when the seat is clear the new driver slides down into position-viola . aaannnyywayy we arrive at the lot with danimal to find a plethora of vehicles at 7:30 on thursday nite thats cool, get yours!!!! so after a quick strroll along the base of LT wall we saw lots of folks gettin theres on the classics... kept goin to where the wall brightens up and away from the scene and low and behold thin fingies is free...whatta pitch!!!! sooo clean soo steep, and plumb! we partyed on the thing and seshed at the top... we haung for a little bit as it started getting dark. as we were walking out in the blackness we stopped to discuss waht to climb next, danimal took off for home after a long day fighting to preserve some sweet land we decided on breakfast of champs from the dirt would be a fun way to enjoy the superb index town wall nightlife ie: noone around, cool, and exposed. clibing at nite with headlamps is fuckin rad! its cool how the beam of light plays perfectly with the way focus is concentrated while sending... your world is the jams in front of you, your gear and those things below you become a feeling of security that requires no more scrutiny, and the void and exposure is now more an inner sensation than a visual stimulation. the light beaming down to place feet, when they're good a flash up the wall to see whats next then punchit up, flash down move feet, and up.... good stuff!!! that pitch is sweet, long and way steep then a perfect ledge to enjoy the evening ambience...then huge sesh and off on one of the LTs best raps...

the rock on the s. face is where its at
