Toast

Cuz, this is what Pub Club is about,

We've rounded up a few of the old dirtbags from the old CC.com days, and all agree it's time bring back Pub Club. Meetup at Pipers Creek, 7 PM, Tuesday January 16th. Featuring "special Guest". BTW, the burger baskets are for real! https://maps.app.goo.gl/Geqfs5CyFJDUXXRu6

Thanks guys!

Here you go,

Any snow on the approach to the Liberty Bell Group (e.g. SEWS South Face, Becky Route...)? How about the trek out to Kangaroo Temple? How about bugs? Just looking for a little beta. TIA

Nice TR

Fuck yeah, CC.com is back!

Saddened, my condolences to her friends and family

Good reuse of a half rack container

Anybody know the name of the route that leads up to Banana Peel from the Chief parking lot? I think it's a two or three pitch moderate route? If I recall, there were actually a couple of lines. Thanks!

Just had to give props where props are due

I'd wondered what had happened. It's gripping reading. Thanks for sharing.

Two different accounts, Yak Herald reports a 15' fall. KIRO and KUOW report a 60' fall. http://www.yakimaherald.com/home/1238059-8/tacoma-woman-hurt-in-climbing-accident-west-of

Feelin' the need to bring Uncle Tricky back

Next time

That's the goods, nice TR

Probably five or six years ago our neighbor's tent got sotlen, a brand new Bibler he was taking up to Alaska. Ever since then I've used a POS tent cragging and taken anything valuable like a sleeping bag with me. Hope karma comes down on the theif

There are two new routes to the left of Hand Jive on the Green Wall at Vantage. As you beging hiking up the trail to the Mesa (trail to the Sunshine Wall) look for chain anchors off to the left of the trail. Not sure of the grade, but prob in the 5.6 - 5.7 range. Untill there's more traffic on the route, they'll remain dirty, so be sure to wear a helmet anywere at the base. Back at Zig Zag wall are prob five or six easyish routes. Lady in Red and Tank Trap at the far left end and a few others closer to the right end. Watch out of poison oak and again wear a helmet around here. On the Sunshine Wall are Crack in the Back, Seven Virgins and a Mule (you will need to build an anchor at the top of this one) and Chapstick next to the gulley.

The roadside crags along Icicle Creek Road near Leavenworth aren't the most interesting but there's lots in that range. - Mountaineers Dome - Lower Clamshell - Mad Meadows / Playground Point - Barney's Rubble - Bruces Boulder - Alphabet Rock There's always the Index classic, the Great Northern Slab. It's 3 pitches. The second is a beautiful twin crack that will gobble up gear. The third is a half pitch of bolts. Variations to the right of the first pitch will bump it up a notch or two. There are sea walls along the waterfront in South Everett that are good for plugging gear. Just drive west past Forest Park to the water, cross the train tracks, and pack out your beer bottles and trash when you leave

SOLD!

I'll have a class at royal columns this weekend. Just a heads up there will be a lot of traffic on the easier routes around the Western Front. If you see an unoccupied route you'd like to climb, just ask, and we'll pull the top rope.

Beckey's slide show always had a pic of Doug and his dog Winter in it.

Sad news... Doug Stufflebeam passed away last week. He introduced me to my first glacier and taught me about adventure. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/skagitvalleyherald/obituary.aspx?n=douglas-lee-stufflebeam&pid=156588177

Where's Uncle Trickey when you need him?

Right now you're injured. Ice, arnica, and isolation are what you want. See if you can find one of those Velcro soft casts secondhand at Goodwill. You'll look silly, but wear it for a week (and well after you think you're healed.) After, move onto the rehab routine. Zenith Supplies on Roosevelt used to sell Arnica Pine Salve made by Herb Technologies. It's magic for soft tissue injuries.
