Ha! Seriously. This weather, combined with my hangover, is making for a quite dissapointing morning.

Caching in wilderness areas or national parks is illegal. Don't leave crap lying around. Thanks.

In other words...it's only suicide if ya fuck up

Whoa, the pic kind of makes me dizzy... You can't tell how steep it is from the pic tho.

wankass means sucky. Like 5.9 climber and a pussy that doesn't want to scrape himself all up on a 20 foot fall down slabs

I use 6 or 7 different biners to clip in, all from different major brands. You can *never* be too safe...

What routes would you recommend for a wankass rock climber who has never been to darrington? I am getting interested after looking at all these pics.

Great, then you are both childesh for belittling other's accomplishments. i would rather see a guy who smiles his ass off while scrambling up peaks and enjoying the outdoors and calling that climbing than mr. twight who seems to be embittered at the world all the time.

Some of us like camalots, others dont. sometimes they are the way to go, other times they aren't. I'm sure most of us have some camalots and some other cams. Frankly, I think it's great cause when I do want to buy another camalot I can give my money to Jim instead of REI.

Pandora/Girlclimber, ya know we've got *other* mountains here in washington right?

Damn, any chance you would do friday night? Looks like I've got something set up for sunday-Monday... I'm guessing you are doing saturday cause of the weather, eh? Umm...PM me I guess

holy crap you have a lot of pics!

Technical choss ascensionist. Also, random - thought...supposedly he trains all the time on hood, yeah? And we get ho many people on this board climbing hood, not to mention the other volcanoes, weekly? A lot, eh? I wonder what the chances would be that not one person from around here has seen the shitbag up there yet.

What year were those pics taken? It's possible with 2 fairly lousy snow years in a row stuff could get broken more and quicker.

Sun and mon look reasonable weather wise, sat borderline. Anybody interested in alpine?

How bizzare, I was looking for info on the same thing just last night. I haven't found anything either so I would be intersted too!

Ouch, thats sad. When I did the sulfide in may a couple of years ago it was an hour or more walk. Easy access is nice, but it reminds me just how poor the snowpack really is.

Wait...I thought the Wild Sky wildernes was the new one proposed for a chunck of the skykomish river, right? There are grizzly bears there!?!?

Wow, are you kidding? My schoeller pants have so many holes in them...crampons, rocks, you name it. I just leave them. When I got about 15 I had my mom sew them all up at once

Lots of hardcore climb...err..students...at school. fleece is needed for the ever changing and deadly seattle weather.

I know, I was sad to see that. What are they replacing it with? The khamsins were the best packs I found that combined a reasonable suspension with featuers and light weight. The 38 weighs something like 2 1/2 lbs, has a suspension and still has a bungee, daisy chain, ski slots, etc.

No, all the info was good, you were right, that's all I wanted to know. Like I said, I reached my conclusion...this thing is worthless in the cascades. I very rately treat water as it is, and if I do, I either boil or use iodine. It was just how it did it that interested me. But I am glad to know that marylou has scored herself a worthless $130 nerd-toy water purifier that she can talk about.

You could always camp the few hundred feet below hazard at the bivy spots taht are more safe. The higher up it is, the more scenic, that is a big plus. I spent an awesome open air night a few hundred feet below camp hazard a few summers ago. Unfortunately a few weeks later I woke up with food poisining and that pretty much ruined that trip

I thouhht arcteryx was alberta based? I realli like my arcteryx khamsin 38 FWIW. It seems I now use that thing for everything.

You'd rather listen to Beck? Who only uses CC.com to boost himself in the world I think I'd rather listen to somebody who actually climbs Then again, it seems those of us who climb would rather be out climbing then writing reciews to score new gear to talk and brag about.
