[Another Pickets Question]

Don't discount the Eiley-Wiley ridge. Did that last year and it rocked! Though, Easy Ridge in is easier...

[MattP- Where are You?]

There's a route on my Valentine crag that I can't quite seem to pull off. If I carved a big heart right in the crux, a tasteful one, would it be OK?

 

why shit, that'd be cheating, wouldn't it

[Another Pickets Question]

If I'm not mistaken, there is an abandoned trail that lead out Goodell drainage. However, there was a massive slide that wiped out a lot of what was there a couple years ago. Anybody know who's been out that ways?

[neck crick / tight trapezius]

I got back from a 4 day conference on cervical rehabilitation and the effects of said "cricks" if you want any info email me at michael_layton@hotmail.com

 

Why not publish and tell all :[]

[What is the funnest thing to do while high on pot?]

I am unable to perform anything of any consequence while high. Therefore my climbing partner enjoys watching me set up the tent which invariable takes a good hour. Mind you this is two tokes of cloned B.C. bud at it's best. This is the only time I will partake while climbing. When I know I will be lying down soon.

 

But this is truly me. I try not to smoke pot... in public.

Trip: Chair - NF

 

Date: 1/25/2008

 

Trip Report:

Little late but WTH

 

Bit thinner than last time I was there (2/2006)

 

Makes it an ice climb... rather than just a steep snow climb

It's warm right now and has been. Expect it to get cold again beginning Sunday.

[New to Alpine Rock]

Wow! Thanks so much for the replies, I don't even know where to begin! I will focus on developing necessary skills to climb cracks successfully. Maybe I will stop by UW's gym once or twice to simulate that. I really appreciate the advice, I hope it helps me in my pursuit to develop Alpine rock skills.

 

Not UW Gym. UW Rock, silly. It's at the mouth of Montlake Cut.

[Sharp Stick in the Eye?]

 

that makes sense. kind of like the time I cut up some jalapeno peppers, washed my penis and rubbed the tip... latter there was juice on my finger.

[How would you feel?]

We should have a send off pub club for CBS

 

There's one I would actually show up for :tup:

 

Well, it's one reason to 8D :[]

Y'know, two of them pictured are to be maried'ish. And one of 'em ain't Dave Schuldt.

[NW Weather Resources for Alpine Climbers]

I thought this was a pretty pimp find, linky. It maps all of the telemetry stations in the area, in this case, Silica Road, i.e. Vantage. If you click on the link to the right, you'll see the data mapped out over time.

[Bicycle Master Plan for Seattle passed]

They're proposing to build freeway overpasses... dumb. They could spend a fraction of the dollars and fund fixing potholes, section gaps and street sweeping for a decade for what one of those would cost. That's something they could do immediately and it would make commuting a lot more practical. My $0.02.

[Into the Wild]

I read the book a long time ago, long enough that seeing the film was fresh and new. I walked out of the theater feeling really good. I like Sean Penn’s films, and I liked this one. I sort of wanted my family to see it, so they’d have half an inkling of why I cringe at the glass bubbles they live under and why I do some of the things I do that they consider reckless.

 

The film vs. the book gives two different treatments. Krackauer is skeptical, and he does question whether McCandless was naïve and reckless. He does recognize something in himself in himself, though, and paints a very human picture much like Caravagio did in paintings. Penn pretty much glorifies the Alexander Supertramp character as confident and self assured the whole way. Word was Leonardo was considered for the role. I’m glad he didn’t, but the effect was the same. Read the book.

 

[Good Class 3 to 4 Peaks?]

Kaleetan Peak up the I-90 corridor. Arrowhead off Hwy 2. Maybe Three Fingers off the Mountain Loop. Lane Peak in the Tatoosh for a down south option. Anyway, a couple of ideas for ya.
