A Mighty Big Thanks! This is the stuff I'm looking for. Cheers Goat

thanks CBS Good Beta My cousin is coming out in April hence the time. I am not too worried about crevasses either. I am more worried about Avy danger. I think I would like to have one other experienced person along. I might try and scope it out before I would take him up there. So Gib ledges is narrow and I suppose pitched. Ingrahm direct sounds good but looks longer. How far could we ski up before resorting to post holing and would many people be going that way that time of year? Goat

thanks Sketch

CBS, how about in a larger more experienced group? If not , then what, Cathedral? How wide are the ledges below Gibraltar? I read it is 45 degrees where it meets with the chute. Easy on snow but Ice would be another thing.

Nice

I am looking for beta and opinions on the likely April conditions from Paradise to Muir and on through Gib ledges to the top. Will there be a post hole super highway to Muir or would skis be the way to go? I would prefer to ski and if I do, how high could I get on that route before likely removing my skis? To the base of Gibralter? Would anybody here recommend taking a newbie (my cousin) on this route? Is it too exposed along the ledges? If not, how 'bout if I brought along another team of seasoned ridge runners to strengthen the party? Any takers? Cheers, Goat

What I understand is that the oilfields aren't going to pay for the war, we are (to the tune of 150 Billion or more) and we are even paying here at home, directly: The price of OSB has just doubled because of the demand for the product overseas to rebuild Iraq. Now I have to charge this nice couple , about to retire on a fixed income, even more to build their house. My question to mr. Peter Puget: How has this war helped us out ?!

I'd give up sex

True, we could easily poach it from a boat. If you know they are not down let me know when they are gone... Goat

Hey Mos, couple of my guys were out fishing and took a photo of that cliff face for me, Looks good. Is that on private property? If so, who owns it, Carlson? I'd love to tackle it. send me a PM. Goat

Yeah, everything broke down due to serious drunkeness at that point. Thanks for the slides though...

That looks like an 8% grin I have going there! I knew I was getting hammered at that point because I started chuggin' h2o. What fun!

Holy Hangovers Batman! What was in that stuff? Thanks Jon for the great evening Thanks also to the presenters There were plenty of beautiful, inspiring pics. It was wonderful to see some faces from Kid's Ropeup and meet a whole bunch more. So many people showed up! What say, 'bout 60 or so? Everything seemed to double after my fifth half liter Thanks to Dox for driving me and my rig to his place so I could crash out. This Site Rocks!

Climbing in YOS sounds like it sucks bad: people stealing gear, pin scars, bolt ladders, Hubris Bros doing repetitive 5.14 whippers for "fun", people in front of you/people behind you, shit buckets, 9 gallons of fucking water, tempers flaring over booty, people watching you climb from the parking lot, everyone is now a soloist, what next?!

Well, Whilans ended up a fat, drunken turd didn't he.

The Burgess Book of Lies is good on this count as well.

WTF
