Weekend_Climberz

For real. Errr....Maybe have to get up higher this weekend to find some goodies.

I could use some beacon practice, too. Don't have my own beacon yet, but I can play a buried died guy pretty well.

Man, good read. I couldn't have said better myself. Cheers to a great life and inspiration for getting out there and doing it.

I used to work with 2 other guys and 25 women at my last job and they used to talk about all sorts of unmanly things. Did not bother me too much until my boss went into detail about some sexual experiences she had when she was in college. Did not want to go there!!

AAJ

And well below freezing baby!

Dear Santa....Don't bother coming this year cause I already got everything I want.

Alki sound good to me.

I'm going to have to make the same excuse for not being there tonight, work is going to require a full day today. I'm going to try to make the Avalanche lecture at FF tonight though, but can't get out to climb. Should not be a problem next week though, and I'm going to try to get some this weekend. Sorry Alex:(

Check out North Bend Rock and they have a great route list (under best routes) with grades where you can start low and work your way up the confidence level. Cheers

There's many routes that would probably be in any time of the year. I have not climbed much harder than 5.6 stuff on that thing and having crampons and ice tools would make it even more fun.

Pub club sounds good to me. By the way, I think St. Helens is pretty much closed to the public right now.

It is rather deep, so floatation devices and some suffering are definately required.

I work with a lady who has an Indian (the country) ancestry and she pulls down pretty hard. I had a conversation with a black friend of mine about rock climbing a few years back and this is what he said, and I quote "For most black people, going into the woods far from any civilization with a bunch of white folks with ropes just does not sound too appealing to most black people."

I was in and around the Kendall Peak area on Sunday and the snow was nice and powdery near the 5000 foot mark. If you have ski's or snowshoes it would probably be worth the trip to Chair, or the Tooth for some nice winter like conditions.

Sorry I haven't been able to make it out yet. I still need skins (should have pretty soon) and will be getting some demo boots for this season to figure out what I want. Once I get skins, it'll be on. Keep in touch. P.S.: Let me know if you want to have a few beers sometime again.

I'm hoping for a dozen pink tri-cams, because my brown ones are lonely.

I'm always into doing stuff just for the hell of it. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. PM me if you want to get out sometime. I live in Seattle, but whatever.

Now I am a complete computer geek. Thanks for making up for that last little bit for me.

Feet and Feet of pow! Might wanna take snowshoes. North face is probably a bit buried right now.

I would say if you don't mind some powder wallowing, it will probably be in. Even with snowshoes this weekend we were still about hip deep when we walked off the beaten track.

There is ice to be had in the alpental valley. I didn't take any pictures yesterday, but it has been cold enough and there are many drips that are looking pretty fat. This is December, right?

That sounds great. Is this the line we looked at on Thursday before we left? Or, is it over in the wet streak? Looking forward to checking it out on Thursday.

Props to Dave, I'm glad to here everyone is still breathing.
