    Rope Care?

    Thanks Archy : ) CBS, most laundromats I've passed only have top loaders.
  4. RSS feed makes a lot of sense. The current search function could really be improved. I'f i'm digging deep, I'll uses Google not the CC.com search engine.

    Rope Care?

    Anybody know if there's a laundromat with front loading washers in the city? I need to wash a bunch of crap out of my rope.

  8. Watch out for the Devils Club and downed trees
  9. I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but I got turned onto the Daily Show about a month ago. Dude, that's some funny shit
  10. One of the point JL was trying to make was that the touted danger of shock load of the sliding X is overblown. He refers to testing by Blue Water that illustrates it's not as significant as some make it out to be. This is espcially the case if you further mitigate the danger by tying off the legs. He goes onto point out that something like a cordalette rarely actually equalizes all points. I may have read too fast, but my read on it is he likes the sliding x.
  11. Yeah, Columbia City is viable. It's come a long way since I was a kid, a healthy business community is bringing the neighborhood back up. Beacon Hill or Seward Park might be a thought. All would constrain you to I-5 to get to the Kent Valley, though. Traffic anywhere on I-5 sucks these days, but at least entry points would be south of downtown. The next bottleneck heading south on I-5 would be towards Southcenter right about where you'd get off.
  12. West Seattle is a bit of it's own fiefdom, well separated from the Seattle mainland, but for all the things you're looking for it hit's the mark. Specifically, the Admiral district is pretty hip with cool old craftsman cottages and views, lots of restaurants, bars and the like in walking distance... prob a little pricey though. Fauntleroy is much more quiet and residential. Actually, it's totally residential and not quite walking distance to anything other than Lincoln Park. Roxbury is... um, cheap. Crime is high, but that goes with the inexpensive cost of housing down there. It's very colorful, though. It's probably one of Seattle's most diverse multi-cultural neighborhoods with a heavy mix of SE Asian and Latinos. Good cheap food all around there, just don't get shot at night. SR-509 to the airport in twenty minutes. SR-599 to I-5 and down to Kent in less than 30 mins. Public transit in Seattle is a joke if you don't work in downtown Seattle, so good luck on that front. I'd say Queen Anne, Fremont, or Wallingford are viable while you're renting. But the viaduct (SR-99) will shut down in the next year or two for construction. I don't know the time frame, so that could be years out. While it lasts, it's possible to get to Kent and the airport in 30 mins. Once it shuts down for construction, that commute will be ugly.
  13. The Spring Equinox is on the 21st, so technically, today's the last day of Winter. Anybody besides Hannah make a successful winter ascent of Rainier this year? Now who were the fuckers ripping on the rest of us patting her on the back saying she didn't deserve it?

  17. Can't say you weren't persistent. Good TR.
  18. Any shop who's worth a damn. Feathered Friends rents a variety of tools. I think Pro Mountain Sports will let you test some out. Ask around.
  19. She woulda fit right in at Sausagefest
  20. It was that crazy Polish Bob and his "Vodka flavored Vodka."

    Projects for 2003

    Yeah, but Cavey was a little more colorful than the Nodder and he provided good beta if you asked him.
  24. I'm curious, why the decline? The Mountaineers have seen a steady drop in registrations for their Basic climbing courses. Some of that was driven by the war. Tacoma, Everett and Bellingham have all drawn from the neighboring military bases in the past. Deployments to the Middle East are a sensible driver for declines in our branches, but Seattle has also seen a noticeable drop. That and the drop in the number of climbing permits at Rainier make me wonder if there a similar national trend. What's driving all of this?
