[TR] Mt. Rainier- Gib Ledges Attempt 3/12/2004
Billygoat replied to girlclimber's topic in Mount Rainier NP
Great TR GC! Sorry to hear that you hate to write; you're damn good at it. Cheers on your attempt BG -
I got that your photos were from the Nisqually side. And now, with that shot from the Cowlitz side just above Muir, I can surmise that the point top center and below Gib Rock in your 2nd photo is the point behind which one would rap down onto the Ledges. So, in your 2nd photo, one cannot quite see the Ledges, right? You can see the top where it meets Gib Chute. I am just trying to picture the route. Thanks BG

Alex, In the "Gib Ledges" photo, is that the beehive close to the right or further up ahead, top center? Thanks for the great shots! Girlclimber, Did you go for it?! I'm going in April, let me know...

Didn't Haliburton get in trouble for selling $14 sheets of plywood for $85 on one of their Government contracts? And then just recently got in trouoble for overcharging (by 50% to 100%) for gas in, of all places, Iraq? Same guys right?! I am a contractor and I am entitled to Profit and Overhead on materials but more like 18% not 607% The guys doing the work over there are not sharing in that 607% mark up. Well maybe the top supervisors but not the guys driving the trucks. This whole Iraq thing is total bullshit. Prove it to me otherwise...

Ridgeway is NW of Ouray and has a better sociaL scene... Seriously, rent a place in Squamish and check it out, then try B'ham, then try Bend. Then get a boat and try the San Juans and you will find that you can live wherever you want. Or get an Airstream trailer.

I have a harness and shoes for my boy (7) that we can share and an alpine harness that can cinch down to fit any size human. I got lots of rope. And of course there will be adult swim.

The $85 Pass is Here, Be Afraid, Be VERY AFRAID!
Billygoat replied to blue_morph's topic in Access Issues
Who knows but enforcement costs are going to go up and these agencies are going to have to spend more time and money getting the word out about situation. Until then, I would do whatever because in a vacuum there is wiggle room... -

Hey, pay to play. Better than giving it to extractive industries and grazing. It's a vote for keeping it beautiful. This is America. Our lands are up for sale to the highest bidder. If we are going to have to cut social security then we are probably going to have to start selling off our assets to stay solvent. -
babysitting? I thought the idea was to take the kids climbing And then get plastered after they go to bed.

WTF Cams (SLCD's) are so much easier to place than nutz and chocks... Try leading at your level and leaving the cams behind some time. Give me a break If spurs are aid, chalk is aid
