yesturday was another beauty...chilly in the shade, but fun in the sun...the icicle is not a bad place to be partnerless...when you need a sun and granite fix. can't complain about the rain tho this year...we need it

personally, i love this guy. loaded to,the gills with info, and just bursting at the seams with spray downs for all. wouldn't be the same worthless dot dot waste of time without you bro...

ken you fuckin rock brotha... at first i thought thisd was a tr for the awesome thai resturant in b-ham called busara ...killer panang... and the garlic dish gai busara or whatever is the bomb! but anyway ken youre missed... and i'm gettin drunk on makers... heres to ya!

were you around the corner from thin fingers...in the choss...dooooodddddd... but seriously we started in the princely area, then the newest industry area then the thin fingies area, at the lower wall area...in the beautiful index area, to you bigwalling, malt liq's drinking index loving...you were psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right..?

si...muy beuno... sophmore..?

if you made it to index today!!! minimal wettness, really not even an issue compared with the amount of perfectly dry stone, colorful displays of blossoming foilage glowing in the warm rays, good friends, and few, yet friendly, folks gettin' after it ( saw dood wing off of iron horse ), and stellar ambience above in the wintery wonderland...couldn't have teleported myself to a more enjoyable scene...well climbing wise that is. is sorta hard to top, but thats another topic for another place anyway go get some!

anyone know where these peices can be found cheap..?

its funny how when veiwed from here on the way to the base it looks steep...when you arrive you realize its way steep, to those who have boogied with this beast, and sent ground up... i'm not sure i can hang... with this kinda shit is hard to get really motivated for in a roadside craggin environment... but the sun and wonderveiws up to the high crags is enchanting enough ahhh... the icicle

i used a 4" placed deep at the start off the ledge, then put #5 above head pretty high with my go-go gadget arms...then abused myself upwards till the big green was where my feet was...then it widens and apparently solid technique gets you thru from there... and somethin' smaller can go in at the break b/f the top... personally i just bleed, and need to work on my o/w steez'. i got above the green, had visions of kicking over the peice as i slide down the gash, started menstrating bad, and had to down lead to get back to my fem'prods on the ground is this derogatory?...i'm just playin' but you can hate away anyway...

sweet!!! was a great day to crag...the icicle comes thru when all else drips...never been to duty... left some blood on the stone while trying to lead carnival crack...shits rugged

it rocks! its like a lightweight open-faced griz griz...no sweat on the lower-out works fine!

went to l-worth yesturday to hang with a buddy, and we craged amongst blossoming balsam root, glacier lillies, and other pretty specimins just goin off. lovely, and quite early... i particularly enjoyed climbing pumpline with pretty little flowers sprouting out of the thin crack right in my face...ahhh...this is a good route

i agree with rudy about mike...i was there this winter with him and he tr'd with 1 hang after a day of cragging, and he was solid thru the biz...on his feet, chalking up, just way focused, and sending... the next day we were out there, he's up on the thing placing his gear on lead, maxing out, and still fighting for it...it was a great sight, then a grunt, and he's winging thru the air. a valiant effort for sure. anyone know beth rodd-well..?tell her about it and we could see an onsight ascent. this line is so beautiful, and should see an ascent of the best style, and everyone else can tr, hang-dog, pink-point, yo-yo, aid, whatever...its hard to not be enchanted by the possibility if you dig cracks in granite.

all god talk aside...i don't really need any divine motivation to climb at index...been there a ton recently, just wanted to see a buddy, and climb in his backyard. theres a little saying i like for situations as such...variety is the spice of life! oh and at index you can trade ticks for mosquitos...pick yer poison i guess...neither is gonna wreck my experience.

word... dan and myself were on constant patrol...checking ourselves and eachother frequently...we noticed having light colored clothes helps, short hair is good, and the change of clothes key. they seem to dig some of the ledges on orgit as i gave a few the fling from high up. i thought it would be worse actually...but they're tolerable and the climbing altho raining lightly in the canyon was stellar t-shirt weather, and not a soul around, not even the piss-lickers

is in fine shape... -trail mostly snow-free. -climbers path to the base has sno near the creek, and a little ways up in the talus. -pretty much everything looked dry, or mostly dry. -orbit was completly dry. and kicks ass! -no snow atop the crag. -no snow on the descent. -yes there are ticks, but if you don't stop and "party" in the dirt with them, they are easy to flick off before they dig-in.

yeah mike, come on home...index was perfect yet again! the inner-walls are super nice and bright without any leaves, even steven, and everything else on the toxic wall, and k-cliff were in ideal conditions! index...as good as it gets!

sooooooooooooo goooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn was it ever beautiful yesturday...got to just mosey on out, as the cliff warmed in the sun, arrived to an empty parking lot got on the sun baked rogers corner/breakfast of champs pitch...good steep 170' with lots of hand-jamming then basked in the sun on that sweet ledge watching the yearlings and hawks cruze around...then dr.sniff, and finally princely...all in all a mellow day...gotta love the feb. goodness at index :lmao now i'm back at the stevens pass gig, and theres a ton of fresh powder around, its cold, and were supposed to get more on saturday-yay y'all should come on up
