  1. Looking to climb something nice. Preferrably something like the North Ridge on Forbidden Peak. Or similar...

     

    I am open to ideas as long as I have not done the route before.

     

    I am able to leave the from the Seattle area on Friday around 3 PM or even earlier depending on work.

     

    I would like to do an overnight trip. I am not into speed climbing.

     

    My number is 425 501 6255.

     

    If you are not that experienced I don't care as long as you don't complain or ask me a million questions every 5 minutes.

     

    Thanks.

    PS I hear there is dinner in the dumpster behing most Dominoes Pizza spots.

  2. How could someone just hang from a bolt time and time again and call that climbing?!??!

     

    It's called hangdogging and is totally boring to me. Even if I am hanging off of cams it's the same shit.

     

    How can you allow yourself to let it be ok to fall?!?!??!

     

    It's ok to fall if you know what you are getting into or what the dangers are. But normally I just do it in 3 or 4 tries ground up or come back another day. Yes I do believe my approach is more pure. But that doesn't mean someone else can't do what they want.

     

    How can you take the risk to go well beyond your limits on lead?!?!?

     

    Climb more. Be willing to take falls. Be willing to run it out if you have good protection and it is safe. If you can't tell climb some more.

  3. Serpentine Ridge is a fun route. The remarks about choss are not really true. I would even say the rock is better than say Forbidden Peak. There are the random loose blocks on the large sections of 4th class like any 4th class section in the mountains. I think the rock is solid where the climbing is steeper. Where the angle drops then just step a little bit more careful so you don't dislodge obvious blocks on the parties behind you.

     

    I do recommend helmets up higher if you are climbing in such a large group. Bring your route finding beacon and enjoy.

     

    The approach and descent are usually not without snow. The degree of the slope will vary depending on the year. Just bring some crampons and or an axe and you should be okay.

    Irregardless is not a word unless you are a slackjawed yokel.

    I think you misunderestimate the value of the word "irregardless".

     

    Irregardless I will use it anyway. Geek_em8.gif This website is not casual writing and everything here is subject to scrutiny. rolleyes.gif

    Generally speaking, when standing in a lift line I prefer to baa like a sheep, but mooing works well too. I hope your rad friend saved his tricks for under the chair, cuz why bother if no one is watching?

     

    Twas not beneath the chair. Look for photos in the next issue of Death Couloir Skiing Magazine made for extreme skiers only hahaha.gif

    Do you know how ridiculous you sound?

     

    I'm sure I sound ridiculous because I disagree with you smirk.gif It's apparent that you have problems dealing with discussions when you've made a fool out of yourself AlpinheadTom. Toodle-Oo! wave.gif

    Basicly Tom I could quit climbing right now and you would have a hard time catching up with me.

    Where on earth did that come from? AlpineK, my impression of you is you're pretty full of yourself. I've read through your posts and one pattern that came up is your childish snippiness. I'll let you in on a little secret ... I don't care how much you've climbed, I never said a word about your climbing ability, and that's not up for discussion. If you feel you need to prove your climbing ability to me, enter a race or something.

     

    Why you feel you need to prove your climbing ability to me is beyond me. I don't even know you, I exchanged like 6 posts with you about the length of TRs and I come back to this thread expecting some discussion and you're talking about how if you stopped climbing today I'd have a hard time catching up. It's pretty sad that you're all grown up and you can't have a civilized discussion on a bulletin board without resorting to personal attacks -- especially being a "moderator". AlpineK, I think you've got some issues chief. yelrotflmao.gif

     

    And by the way, instead of contaminating threads by introducing personal attacks (Alpinhead Tom), why don't you exercise some common sense and take it to the Spray forum where it's supposed to be. You being a moderator I thought you would understand this better than anyone.

     

    AlpinheadTom,

    This seems to be a personal issue with AlpineK from an outside viewers seat. It seems obvious to me that you were making a point that better climbers are better people and that gives them the right to post long boring ass trip reports. Your silly remarks are as stupid as the ones you criticize coming from AlpineK.

     

    Maybe you should meet each other at the pube club and bitch slap each other. shocked.gif

  9. I put on my new MET5 jacket by TNF and turned on the belly warmer (am I cool or what?!). Then I approached the ski slopes with great trepidation.

     

    When I got my ticket I joined the cattle in the lift lines.

     

    Moo! Moo! onto the superfastchairbetterthananyotherresortschair to the top of the lift.

     

    Viewed the 25 foot smear of ice people chestbeat about online all the time. Somebody could huck that thing on skis if they cut out some of the trees on top. It's even more amazing people waste time to climb that thing.

     

    My partner was a better skier than me doing 360 degree jumps and radical manuevers as I gaped about. Moo! Moo! cattle work to get on the chair again and repeat.

    Checking out the avalanche reports is a good idea, especially if you're a gumby like me.

     

    Dear Mr. Goodie Tushues,

    There is no avalanche report in a true backcountry. If that is your only guilt we may or may not omit that scape-goat from my comments above. Only you know the truth.

    Yours truly,

    Mr. Trash_Eater

     

  11. Yeah Leavenworth has dry rock.

     

    Some people climbing on Snow Creek Wall as well.

     

    Fuck all the sport mountaineers that need trip reports, avalanche reports, beta, and photos to figure out when to climb mountains.

     

    The skiing sucked anuses where I was at this morning. At least the burgers were good on the way down. cheeburga_ron.gif
