  1. yes you can approach eldo from cascade river road. Theres a parking lot and a gate right after the trailhead. I would agree with others here do them in two seperate outings unless you really want to walk the north side of forbidden.
  2. flebfleb i have one you can borrow give me a call tommorow I have to work at 3 though so before then.
  3. I once saw a midget with a mullet. I shit myself laughing, his hair went down to his knees in back.
  4. PMS sells a bag called the andromedia strain that weighs like 1 lb 10 ounces(give or take a couple ounces cause I'm not exactly sure). Anyway its syn. bag but its only rated to 40 degrees though. I thinking about buying it though to replace my 20 degree 4lb syn bag which is to warm for what i use it for (stuff in the cascades).

    I don't want to believe it but its so crazy it has to be true.
  7. Got the url off of scot'terx links page. Its doesn't matter that other people visit your page. Using other people's picture's and making your "customers" believe they are yours is lamo. Even more so if people don't know that your using them. Heres to being a (insert derogatory homosexual term here, ex. fag) Edit: felt if neccesary to change the facial expression on the thread title.
  8. yes it is
  9. I don't know who coach is but something tells me the girl isn't either.
  10. http://www.gonealpine.com how come all the pictures seem like there straight out of the cc.com photo gallery? Also looks like a great place for a guided hike.
  11. one of those vultures ate my sandwhich out of my backpack the other day. There like snaffles with wings.
  12. there is a difference between working on a farmer and flipping burgers.
  13. ChrisT did you ever consider entering him in a drives ed course. Its what I did the summer I turned 15. I thought it was cool because I got my permit and my parents let me drive, often. But as the parent be patient if he takes the corner a little to fast/slow(yes it is possible to take a corner to slow) do not say anything. Only say something if he doesn't see something that going to cause an accident. I also found it interesting that you asked if there was i future in paintball. There doesn't need to be a future in a hobby. A hobby should be something to occupy his time, keep him out of trouble and let him have a good time. I'm nineteen and I don't do any of the things i did when I was 15 which include paintball, snowboarding and ice hockey. I also cannot empahize for your son, 15 is to young to work. The only job a 15 year old should have is mowing the neighbors yard or something of that nature. Unless he does the drivers ed thing and he decides to keep the job because he wants a car.
  14. Mt. Hardy and some more climbs at washington pass are in as well

    you do me and I'll do you 1 later
  16. The east face is 5.8 or 5.9. Theres a suppose to be a 10a handcrack to the climbers left of the standard route. I sure someone here has done it.
  17. We should ban together and Fight this. I shelled out for an annual pass. Anyone who got a ticket just let me know I'll make a copy of it for you and you can send it in.
  18. I was refering to BD not allowing european companies to sale gear to the us at euro prices. Or marking the gear up because the company sells in the us. Don't believe me go to barrabes or where ever look at the price for any bd tool and compare to a similar grivel or cassin model.
  19. The Euro pricing is still a bit of a problem and we are still working on a solution. Ugh, grr, aaargh, NO NO NO NO NO, you got this completely backwards. Euro pricing works great. North American pricing is the problem. Preventing European merchants from selling Grivel gear in the States isn't a "solution". It's just nonsense. Instead of marking Grivel stuff up to BD prices, SELL IT AT EURO PRICES or as close as you can get. You'd own the whole market. Werd, I would not have bought my alpine wings if i didn't get them from europe. Don't be dump and copy bd.
  20. Dude your totally not factoring in the approach. Its like 25 minutes to the world wall vs. 10 for next 38. Everyone go to exit 38
  21. I have alp wings with easy g leashes. On the easy g leash your supposed to turn the left hand leash around. So that you can get out of the leash by moving your hand away from your body. By turning the leash around it is not as comfortable as with the right hand leash. I would like to see a leash design for the left hand. Also the black part on the leash is long like 4 inches and I don't see why it couldn't be cut down to about two. Did any of this make any sense? Overall I really like both the tools and the leashes. I also have g12s there alright its pretty hard to mess up 12 point crampons.
  22. Speed counts in this case because the climb is beneath seracs the whole time. Twight soloed it in 2hrs and Bebie belayed every pitch with a party of three.

    Alpinist Mag

    I sat down at the uw bookstore and read it in one sitting. The article on Donni was cool although in a way kinda of annoying because Climbing has used and abuse doing article about climbers. There are some sweet photos in there including one of Mugs on ??(he was attempting the west face of Larok??) where he is looking for pro and his face is about two inches above the crack, its a cool photo. In my opinion its better than both rock and ice and Climbing because it talks about climbing because it does waste half an issue giving me tips on how to climb valley trade routes in a day.
