norman... the wine spires are pretty accessable as day trips imo, if comin' up from burgundy cr. startin early makes for doin the hike in the cool morning, then one can chillout take in the veiws, and wait till the sun comes above, then there are many routes to go for some favorites are doing the w. ridge of paisano pinnacle, cool crack climbing up a narrow ridge with nice ledges, and good rock(some lichen), this is a good aproach to the n.side of burgundy, you start rock climbing sooner and the pithches are real fun,( think double and triple cracks on mini headwalls) beats the loose upper aproach to burg col. the rest of burgundy nw face is cool too some funk but good intersting climbing, find the cool lookin squeeze chimmney near the top, and get in there like swimwear and top right out! this scenario gives you a bit of climbing at a mellow pace and timed right in the sun... also goin in from silverstar cr. works too the 1st time up e face of chianti we went this way and were in the sun most of the day rappin in the shade, takin in the veiws at the col then enjoying a nice early evening hike out burg cr. only thing is you gotta hitch back to car @ silverstar creek, but this is usually no problem on weekends. on a side note the camping up there is way worth the burden of hiking you shit up there. bart and i had a good time hikin in from burg cr. in the late afternoon with awesome light on the w.face of silverstar and the wine spires, makin lite bivi @ burg col w amazing sunset, then rise early and climbed e face chablis, s. face pernod, e. face chianti, in the sun, then as the sun moves to the west side hike around back to col, rehydrate, eat then bust nw.face burg in sun, makes for a really cool tour of the area,neat little summits, rad climbing, rich history, on awesome rock,and in the sun all day... good times. also has anyone else done the rt. " rampage" on paisano? cool dihederal midway but i thought everything else kinda blew... including not being able to locate the last pitch on runout lichen to nowhere? just curios on any other perspectives. bobbyp

on a fun one, anyone wanna go lookie for route around the corner to the east? not burdo rt, but somethin' nuevo? or the long lost ('76)chouinard rt... also anyone done the "3 sheets to the wind traverse?"... wanna? climbs the molar tooth, north peak, cuttroat, and whistler... up to easy 5.9 along solid crest from north to south... anyway props doods

well i.m finally movin back to paradise, and will be lookin to hook up with folks that want to climb some shit. by paradise i'm referring to a little section of okanogan county near the n.cascades, where apparently theres some rock?.. i've spent some time there and wanna do more... soooo if anyone else is lookin to climb lemme kno... my sheduel is somethin like days free till 5-6pm mornings are good times and then 3-4 days( always mon-tues) off. also up for many other things around... big/fun things... so p.m. me with whatever ya wanna do and lets hookit... bobbyp oh and to all those headin thru the area stop by the newly to be reopened twisp river pub and say hey, and get trashed and rocked

so i just got back from a cool experience on tuesday @ wa pass (BEAUTIFUL-was cool to climb with uncle tricky, though next time i'll be bringing a lighter, ) and need to return... looking for anyone intersted in climbing on friday out there... wine spires/ wapass/ silverstar/ looking to start early and climb all day- linkups... whodown??? trask??? also would cosider other ideas ie; stuart range/ enchantments.

props doods, on a fun route... i wanna get back on it again real soon thanx for the current info... we went in july and the upper part of the corner was wet then too but no worries as you said sweet jams... again thanx for the tr -wets the appetite, and brings back fond memories. -kevin

my shits always so backwards, anyway i'm rollin out tonite, bivi @ the hairpin or blu lake, rearin to go in the early mornin' eastbutt sews/ east face lexi/ or whatever its on... whomever shows we'll do it up... trickster is on board... who else?.. skuzzy you in?, got a meeting in 'throp @ 6pm so if we bust a move we can link some shiz up yalls... anyway you cut it its gonna be fuckin boss! see ya there... bobbyp

well i'm felling that tomorrow may not be the ideal sitchy so whats up with tuesday afternoon? do some west side stuff in the sun till it gets dark? nw corner/ west face news, swbutt sews/ boving rt / w face(dolphin chimm) , serpentine crack/ nw corner on the bell etc... linksome shit up... whatever, whos down?

whattup ken?.. possible to go tuesday, but i would have the afternoon free that day... i'm all about climbing in the sun these days so maybe we could link some shit up on the west side until the sun goes down... lemme know homes... kevin

erik, right on... question... i've only done the first 4 pitches, lula and i saw funk in the sky and started rappin, only to be hit with fuggin hail and shit when we touched down, good call i guess but did we miss much by not finishin ie; am i gonna have to go back and fini that shiz... anyway props dood...

last year in early may. icy, perfect weather, noone else on mountain...

trask... you wanna come? ohhhh wait... thats right you don't really climb , anyway it seems youre not the only one posing on this site, no worries and no tears, i'll be there. question is where will you be trask? let me guess?.. same place as always... hiding behind some fucking tough guy image, spaying on a site that after all this time you still dont get the fact that everyone here knows youre full of shit, a dirty bastard, and generally laughed at for your worthlessness... keep it up buddy, this place wouldn't be the same without you. yeah well the climbing invite is always there. i'd get a kick out of eating my words if i'm wrong.- your #1 fan, bobbyp

oh sorry... i forgot. washinton pass climbing can't really compare with fuckin traffic, bullshit jobs under flourescent lights, sending the proj at the local gym, or just sittin on ones ass spraying and reading about other people climbing, fuq, i apologize, what a stupid idea, maybe i deserve my soloing fate, until i can come up with something worthwhile to interest other "climbers" in doing... little bitches with "responsibilities"... i hope its all worth it bobbyp p.s. its best to just ignore my stupid ass, and not take what i say seriosly -thanx

i know this is prolly a shot in the dark but anyone up for an east side route tomorrow morning @ washington pass... ie; eastbutt sews, e.face lexington, barber pole, e face minuteman, ifin you aint up for leading much but can follow quickie, and can be out in the A.M. let me know... otherwise my solo options are kinda limited being that i'm a big wuss wa pass for that ass beyotch...

whattup off! no joke... your route on silver star is on the short list... maybe this weekend. can't wait to finally check it out! also, maybe not really alpine, but as far as rock quality, veiws, exposure, and challenging climbing, the west face of colchuck balanced rock brings it, though if all free not really moderate... oh well... bobbyp p.s. whos been on castle peak? oh yeah the se butt on cathederal pk is pretty boss too, again not really alpine but oot- there... another thing off- skeriks playing with areally cool group on the 4th of july in seattle you should checkit...

yeah, what he said... tru tru these couloirs are fun, and they both looked good earlier this week... the right hand coulior makes for fun skiing/riding from the notch, and i remember the left being a good climbing route, when i did it i remeber there being many options for finishing, the route described by jason sounds cool and similar to the way i went, though its possible to climb more or less straight on up to the n.ridge and scramble on to the airy summit. also when i did it clouds obscured any hopes of a w.side descent and reversing the route was reasonable, though time consuming. cool to hear of others gettin on these somewhat obscure tho super acessable routes, cool vantage point as well. a fun scenario is to climb either route and stash board(s) and the juntion of the couliors and finish up on the left/ n.ridge and return and rip back down to the car... fun fun fun. thanx jason for post, brings back good memories, see ya out there. cheers -bobbyp

uhhh, sure. i kinda prefer the way its described in beckeys guide though, as difficulty ratings are pretty subjective, and change constantly with this type of climb. i'd rate it fun plus, and a good adventure, take a look see, and bring whatever YOU feel you may want. have fun... cheers -bobbyp

whattup geordie... as of tuesday, the early winters cooler (east) is in good shape, as others have said recently, east facing climbs are good to go early a.m. or like it is now, with fatty moonlight, seriously, if you like this type of climbing, this route is awesome!!! and tho theres no mention of it in beckeys guide, finishing up on s. face,n. spire is rad in current conditions... enjoy

i just couldn't resist the mercer island comment... besides not knowing shit about this area nacho, you're also ignorant to the fact that some of the more active young climbers from this area come from M.I. recognize though that with anywhere comes sterotypes, but generalizing about whole communities and the level of "hardness" as you put it, make you look like an ass... but who gives a rip anyway... -bobbyp

holler holler... whatup erik, weall still gots to actually climb together soon, wa pass when it opens? i'm movin back to the met real soon... see you there? hey off... still gonna check that w face silver star action, can't wait... bobbyp
