I was wondering if anyone had a #3 Big Bro sitting in the closet collecting dust? I am going to Yosemite on Fri and would like to buy/borrow one. This is your chance to cash in on some serious karma pts. PM me or reply here, thanks in advance- your potential rope gun or belay slave- Tyree

You need to get some offset gear! Like HB offsets and Hybrid Aliens. Seriously, these things make CP a chill outing. They are indespensible items on my rack for free and aid climbing. If you dont use them, get some! Tell the wifey that you are going to die without them. Then when you do have them you will walk all over those pinscars. CP will take as many #6 HBs that you have. I have triple 6's. thats 666 -mark of the beast!!!

Good Job! not bad for your first year aid climbing, as for "jerking off" have you seen the forearm on that guy??

or a fucking riding lawnmower and some chainsaws, mabey we could build some motocross trails too

Nice job!!! Its nice to see some other Hamsters playing out in the backyard.I was scoping that line out when Darin and I were getting rained on battered with falling rocks and my rope got chopped. How was the approach for you guys? It would be nice if there was a trail back there but then again it keeps out alot of the rif raf. What did you think of the rock quality on your route? I would go check it out but i leave for the Valley on Fri. You should still check out the Mythic wall, I think its the best line out there. Nice job and hope to run into you around town some time. Tyree

Nice TR Darin! Thanks for motivating my ego , nice work on Skookum

SICK!!!

Nice work Andrew and Nate! My girlfriend just got off it and it took her and her friends 10 days! She is super psyched though! She was telling me abut these guys doing it in a day that looked like "those dudes that stayed in our camp at J-tree". Nice work!!

use ajustable dasies, they are grreat for tensioning off of your top step and save tons of time. i think the metolius ones are pretty pinner. i use yates, they use a beefier webbing. fish also makes replacement straps for thiers but good luck getting them if you need anything from them within a month.

Mike I saw you at Dimond Jims in Sun and you looked worked. I knew no amount of rec. drugs could do that to somebody, it had to be the Mox. Nice fucking job!!!

Nice work guys. I agree, all these fat ass, has been naysayers need to STFU. Really, these guys go and bust thier asses and all you can say is nice work but...(insert some lame ass alpine theorist comment) Go climb it then downgrade it if you want. Until then

when?

well i did have to climb then down climb on the 1st rappel to retrieve the stuck rope. it wasnt even that bad in tennis shoes

well, good work. i still think that i want to climb it, so since you two wont go up again, any takers??

Twight is such a masochist

There is the sound. Damn- good on yur werk, sounds like you guys got the full meal deal. git er dun!

sick, but the sound seems to be turned off. i cant hear any of the spray.

What is Back of beyond butress? Mike check your PM's.

Be a yokel and climb local!!! This route is good, very good, and the best thing is it is right outside of B'ham. Its the Bellingham Big wall!!! If you live in Bellingham you must go climb it. Amazing views of Baker and glacial cirques. The rock is sound and the protection is all there while the climbing is both interesting and exposed. So quit driving all over Washington and BC and head for the Bellingham Alps!

No, there isnt THAT much loose rock considering the length of the route. From what I understand is that this route is far better in terms of rock quality and climbing quailty than that of the NE butt . What I dont understand is, being the same grade, why doesnt it see the same amount of traffic that the NEB does? All in all this route kicks ass and deserves to be a classic !!!

dude its fine, just strap on some balls and go for it!!!

WERD!!! nice work

Climb: Slesse-North Rib Date of Climb: 8/6/2005 Trip Report: Jimbo and I climbed the N. Rib of Slesse this last weekend. This was my first time climbing Slesse and I had a blast! . The approach was straight forward after dropping off the bikes and drinking a few beers we left the Nesakwatch TH around 3 pm. The trail was cut back and quite nice. From the memoril site we dropped into the basin and traversed the L. flank of the basin, linking scree fields and creek beds to a steep 4th class coulior. This led to the slabs that we traversed to the glacier. The slesse glacier has paritally slid making the traverse easily done in tennis shoes. We crossed on a bench that ran under a little waterfall flowing from the glacier. The bivi was flat and had running water 15 feet away. Our bivi set up was minamalistic, belay jackets and long johns. "good night Jimbo" "good night Tyree" We only had one jacket that we shared for the photos (just kidding) We woke up after a long night off nodding in and out and left the bivi around 5:30 am The first half of the route was "difficult to adequately protect", with runouts of 100' or more on some pitches. Jimbo up a the route about 1,200' We decided to take a little break at this point of the day. After some food, smoke, shit, an hour later we were back on route. This is where the climbing went from sustained to very sustained. The protection became a little better but there were still long runouts and many placements and holds needed to be gardened. The overall quality of the rock was good but there were sections that had some heinous loose blocks. Jimbo sent one down that missed my head by about 5'. There was plenty of ice and rock being shed by the frasier rib and sno fields flanking it. We reached the notch around 5:30 pm and were faded, an escape would have been easy but we pesevered to the summit. There is some wild and exposed climbing up here, definatly worth the effort. We finally topped out just after 8pm We made the raps with little incident except for getting the rope stuck on the 1st one. I climbed up 40' freed the rope and down climbed in tennis shoes. We finished the last rap just as it got totally dark. instead of making the decent in the dark we decided to hunker down for another long night out with no bags. "good night Jimbo" "good night Tyree" in the morning we pounded down the trail to the bikes and the 15 mile ride back to the car. I spared Jim the final 8 or so miles and continued on while he chilled with the packs. This is a kick ass mountian adventure with very sustained climbing on a huge peak. Thanks for the good times Jimbo!

Nice work

Dude go up ther in Sept or Oct with no poons or ice axe and you will FUCKING DIE!!!!
