the blu line doesn't look right to me, if thats supposed to be gato negro...i looked for the left line once(red), but couldn't see straight thanx to horrendous bugs, and the cloud of ex-girlfriend woes socking me in, in my own head, but thats neither here nor there, i want to repeat the off-white route soon anyone game..? alpinfox..? rematch..?

scott...beauty picture by the way! i think the ratings are good for the onsight leader, and consistent with the area. :tup

Serpentine arete: BP and I left seattle at 9ish. got to S/C Lake parking lot at 1230. colchuck lake 5635' 1402, BaseCamp 5740' 1503, Abcamp 6800' 1542, camp1 on Serpentine route 6920' 1603, camp 2 7885' 1713, top of dragontail (my first time) 8830' 1839, Assgard Pass 7760' 1906, Colchuck Lake 5675' 1920, trailhead 2017 and 38seconds. Lounging at the lake and elsewhere on route approx 1.75 hrs. so all that buisness you were doing with your watch the whole time was these split times...tech dood well, after doing this route with and without (i should say with but not using ) ropes and pro, the latter is alot nicer. no need to stop at unnatural locations, no dragging the rope thru loose rock, instead playing "hot lava", and stepping only on the solid stone, makes it flow alot better imo, keeping the weight off your back would make the outing as awhole alot less taxing, and give you more time/energy to go and solo the w.ridge of prusik before headin' back to the car at any rate it was a nice day to be in the mountains

okay...turns out my brothers delayed in NY and won't be in till 10:30 i could rally to index asap...whos down..?

cool...you like the 4th pitch..? you think the ratings are accurate..? you guys take the final crack thing to the top..? feel free to tell me with all the questions, i'm just pesky like that, having the info here in the post may be beneficial to those liking instruction manuals, and up to the minute route conditions

woke up to fiona-"tidal", was on repeat as i slept . rocked out with my dad to sector nine live and had the best coffee out-VIVACHE then rolled to the beach listenin to alpha blondy-jerusalem. then Dose, live at the art bar, covering tears for fears; "sowing the seeds", then bjorks "human behavior" . now "the moon and antarctica"-mm.

i saw that...uh so i guess that means scott or larry would know somethin about it... did you guys have any fun, or was it just kinda lame how'd the de-send go...lotsa snow..?

nevermind...i'm playin airporter shuttle for my bro tonite.

i looked at the revised topo, and will mention the final solitary crack on the summit needle is worthy... steep, and airy splitter right up the front!!!

scott, right on!!! my hats off yet again.... this route is amazing, and i'm planning on another go around real soon here, so checking out the new pitches is exciting. when uncle tricky and myself did the second a-sent, we avoided the 2/3 pitches as well, we got to the base of the money pitch in one long one but it too was crappy. good to know theres now even more variety of climbing and no junk. sooo this route has seen some action in the last couple weeks, i have a friend who did it earlier, and noted some wettness and icy cracks, i imagine its dried off quite nicely by now...go and get cho selves some -bp

rock climbing...granite

not that anyone around here should necessarily go...but there is, for those in the know, one of the best sax players out(SKERIK) is getting together with 6 of seattles best for an evening of rock your dome, tonite at the tractor tavern 9:30...$10. at the very least you will see a one of a kind performance, and quite possibly the craziest shit ever. look for the short fat rich handsome dood in the climber costume and come say -bp

i climbed pernod a couple years back while doing a traverse of the wine spires, and we climbed the south face rt. excellent!! we started the day on chablis regular route, and desceded to the notch to the south, then up the s.face. the summit block is pretty blank, and the bolts suck... the first of the 2 is ok but the second was kinda heinous, sticking way out, rusted and bent. we got up, but i was way more gripped on that bolt then the spicy 5.9 below. i will continue to describe the traverse not to chestbeat, but rather to hopfully inspire anyone whos heading all the way up there to consider checkin it out. after pernod rap off back to the notch, then down chablis. walk under chianti and do the rebel yell rt. fantastic!!, grab your stashed second rope for the raps down chianti...now head over to burg, col, and head up the north face route...don't fprget to do the sweet chimney near the top-stellar, best pitch on the route! this traverse follows the course of the sun thru out the day, with wonderful late afternoon light as you finsh up, and sunset veiws in your mug as you de-send back to the car...or camp. good stuff-bp

awww.... shucks youre too kind slappy! its tru i'm a charity case and my friends/partners definatly take care of me...all the way down to the underoos as for partners y'all are top notch, and i'm lucky to roll with such classy individuals you lets climb!!!! -bp

i feel the love for sure dood after all youre hookin' my rack up and shit we'll climb for sure next week...gimme a time and place and i'm there so i'm prolly headed back to the pass to climb on friday...lemme know yoz i could meet folks out there, or drive i'm in seattle today goin to b-ham tonite for a short bit then rally this evening to wapass...its gonna be fuuuunnnnn -bp
