cj must be the man himself. Dem's fightin words.

If you could only do one.....which is better? The Stanley or the Beckey? Please Help!

I have not been able to get the right rythym for the song yet. It's probably me.

Good Job Fellas! Just a couple notes. My buddy and I did the Kautz on 7-17/18. 1. The fixed picket rappel at the top of the second ice wall was only in about eight to twelve inches per picket. We backed it up with a very solid V thread. The thread was not equalized with the pickets. I ripped out a picket on the rappel. Who knows if the other would've held. 2. The route was in excellent shape when we were on it. I lead the ice with one axe. 3. My very rock timid partner who does not care for "Monkey on a string operations" climbed back out of the Kautz via the little 20' rock step with no problem by sticking to the gulley on climbers left.

I covered them up on the way out. I drag a broom behind my machine. Leave No Trace.

Thanks Fellas.

How long is the hike from Paradise to the turtle camps? thanks!

Did Cooper Hiser on 7-14. Not much traffic up there yet from the looks of the book. Beautiful day. Road is clear and little snow on the approach.

Did SEWS and NEWS. Probably found the owner of some stuff on NEWS. Did anyone lose anything on the E Butt of SEWS recently?

Let's say someone found this anchor. What would it have been? Maybe someone would owe someone else some beer and postage if they had found it? PM Me.

Anyone up for the Lightning Dome on Wednesday. I will be in Orofino and could hook up for the day. Joe

Idaho Rock by Randall Green. The regular route "South Face" is 3 pitches. 1. Start just left of the obvious weakness in the center of the face. Stretch the rope to whatever belay you can find. 2. Move right across the weakness to just below the obvious headwall. Belay at a bush. Approx 80 feet. 3. Go straight up. Gain right slanting ledges and lieback corners. Follow up and out to right. You will top out about 30 feet below summit on east skyline. Keystone: From the top of the first lieback corner on the last pitch of the south face go straight up the obvious crack/weakness that heads directly to the summit. 90 feet. 5.9. I doubt the road is melted out completely. Give it a couple weeks.

Did the Scotchman's NW face today. Climbed the obvious gulley that ends between the monster cornice and the summit. Probably 1000' of 60 degree snow. My partner and I did it with a single axe and Pons. No protection placed. It would be better when it cools off next week.

Did the North Ridge on 4-27. Good snow conditions if I had brought skis. Obvious track to follow that was established by the Mounties. Cornice was easy, dogs did it.

Werd. I will be part of the herd as I am a lazy bastard. See ya'll up there monday.

Apparantly the Cascades have expanded east. Plate Tectonics? Continental drift? WTF with all the new forums. I looked at all of them and except for the butt pirates forum it seems it is still the same people spraying. Was spray too full? It was kinda nice to have most of the bs lumped into one catagory. Should be fun!

Core duh lane. Joe Lind

I will be at Banks friday with bigbro. I will probably go out there Mon/Tue as well. We'll see.

Who's ready to do some routes? Both days would be sweet. PM. Trad or Sport

Cragging tomorrow. Sport, trad, ?

One Pair Sporty Karakoram's (K2) size 45.5. Fresh wax. Still in pretty good shape. Looking for 75ish. Negotiable. One Pair Of the Original Trango's. Size 45.5. Ok condition. Will be needing a resole before long. Uppers in good shape. Make Offer. $5 should cover shipping on each pair. PM or two Oh eight, Seven 55, 9008.

I'm not sure why anyone would pull a hanger off the Lizard. However, as a continuation of your previous statement. Also, don't assume an FA just because it's not bolted. Someone may have been there previously. Besides, I'd say that someone has a good chance of getting the chop at the creek just standing at the base of the routes. Hopefully, they come back and get hit by one of those disintigrating choss heaps. IMHO> Oh and yes since you are on a anonymity witch hunt... Joe Lind CDA ID 5'6" 190lbs black hair, hazel eyes. Sometimes climbing, always gaping. FWIW I didn't touch it. I don't have a problem with the creek. DUDE RELAX. IT IS PROBABLY RANDOM.

Road passable with 2wd but passing would be difficult. Lots of log trucks. 3 of 4 pitches in. Pick sucking ice, dubious gear. Trade offs I suppose.

I don't have a bunch of extra weight to lose but I seem to be losing some bulk/weight. About 5 pounds in the last month. However, I usually do the cf workout and something aerobic addtional like a 5k run or cycling. I was wrecked yesterday.

Matt, I go to my Gym and at work. Where do you go? Do you know anyone else in spokane or Coeur d'Alene doing CF?
