What route?

If you have not bought slings yet get some of those super light mammut ones, I climbed with a new partner this week, who had all mammut slings with trango superfly biners and it was awesome. Not just it terms of weight but bulk too and forged friends are still the lightest, and cheapest cam available but don't go smaller than number 2 there, use tcus

Perhaps there should be a meeting of the Washington State Climbers Assocaitation after the damaged has been more properly assested. My biggest concern is for the future, what is done is done. The bolts can be removed but it will never look like it did before. I was not able to find to a schedule of races like that or anything on there web site. But they did say they move to different areas of the country each year hopefully we can find out and notify other climbing communities some how. I am willing to wait and act has a group. However, I'm seriously considering writing there sponsors even without seeing the damage myself. The mere fact that they admitted to sending over 400 people into a wilderness area should be enough. "Dear Montrail, I recently became aware that you sponsor the Subaru Primal Quest adventure race. I myself a Montrail user am disappoint to here this. Did you know they recently sent over 400 people into a wilderness area for an extended period of time, this is not minimum impact. The wilderness areas of this country are sacred to your many of your customers and do not think they should be subject to parade like use. I know that Montrail is a strong John Kerry supporter for his stance on the enviroment. I find this to contrasts with your sponsoring of the Subaru Primal Quest Adventure race. If you continue to support this adventure race you will lose at least one dedicated customer." I would add more after seeing the bolts of course.

I use weather.com but like to check there local forecast and compare it to what it is doing outside and then reduce the polynmols to get my correct forcast Just remeber it's "sunny above the clouds" aye sheepshagger

Damn couldn't even get 3 right

so the cut a rap anchor, not ethnics I think anyone here agrees with but it is an alpine climb so you should be prepared to make your own rap anchor, no? As Arnold says "Stop Whining"

You almost can't go wrong here. Oh yes you can. Just ask eric8 about the routes he wants to do on Dragontail. That guy's a master of creative pronunciation. I make him listen to NPR as punishment while driving to climbs. haha I should start my own thread for peaks I can pronounce right. Lets see, I think I can get the tooth and stuart right maybe liberty bell too but that might be a stretch. I always seem to mess up the wine spire names, chanti, pissonyou pinnacle, etc. Ralph one of these days your going to get the #4 up side the head while your driving

Rumor pointed out in the other thread that the position of your leg relative to the rope is really important. I find myself telling my partners to get there leg out from behind the rope all the time, to the point where I think I'm being annoying and sometimes i think there kinda like I'm wearing a helmet so screw it. I know that I pay extra attention to wear my feet are relative to the rope when i'm not wearing a helmet. Also wearing a helmet when its hot out sucks period.

one of the times was a weekend, I didn't skip class though for the other 2 Seriously though don't worry about it if you want to your commited enough you will climb

whatever dru, I made it to index 3 times in the month of december last year, So to answer your question you can climb just about anywhere in WA if you have a flexible schedule or unless we get an early snow in leavenworth. The world war 1 is good because it overhangs but the easiest route is 5.9 and there are only 2 of those.

Yo Stebbi whats up, I was going to go the last two or three weeks in september until school started but couldn't find a partner. I don't know if you want to be back that early though.

what mattp said

west face of gunsight? south face of nooksack?

I think she may be turning around to get out to the chicken head, that looks almost exactly like how i turned around. I thought the chimney was easier than butt lips and to chestbeat there was ice in it when i did it too. I thought the last pitch was awful stout I took a lead fall and had not taken a fall on a 5.9 for a long time prior to that. Personally think it would get 10a at index, and 10b everywhere else.

time to end your matriarchal tyranny

i thought Lady Godiva was to the left of burgner stanley? not to the right because you can make out the lady siloutted on the west ridge which you won't be able to do if it was to the right of it sorry i don't have easy access to caj at this time

I clipped the sling of the 3.5 about a month ago. and a number 4 forged friend works perfect

hehe same trip on summit, eyes closed, what can i say it was a bad day in more ways then one

oh boy heres a personnel fav

I enjoyed it makes a good half day out. There is really only 2 or 2 and a half pitches of good climbing but still a fun route for the amount of effort involved. I will do it again

hehe saw that link right after i post this thanks

is there a place in seattle where i can get maps for southern bc

the bolt 10a lie back flake to the right of timberjack is also fun. both those climbs are good to do when it is hot out i have seen more then one party show up at index with a "rack of quickdraws" asking if there are any sport easy sport routes

I have had your standard 70cm ice axe for awhile but find my self wishing more and more that i had a shorter/lighter one. So when your doing a rock with a glacier at the base it won't get in the away as much on route.

there was a small snow patch at the notch three weeks ago you would need a stove if it is still there...
