Kat- Lets have a drinking contest.

Clog Cams Like I said, they hold falls, but are not as user friendly as brand versions.

I have some clog cams that I got super cheap off rei-outlet a few years ago. They hold falls but don't handle as well and don't have much of a range as the name brand ones I use.

Hey, are you from Olympia?

G-spot, you should know that this phallis is only the summit pyramid. The real climb begins 4,000 vertical feet below, through terrain so hellish and extreme that only Dante could describe it. I am also getting tired of pushing the limits of alpine climbing. I think I'm going to lay low for a while and get drunk a lot.

I can climb tomorrow, but have to be to issaquah by 4pm.

No man, the hammies are still intact. But the conditions were so inhuman that I needed all the help I could get.

More useful info: Kategory 5, I'm going to be in Ellensburg tomorrow. Do you want to kick some ass with me or what?

I heard that sky skied this route so I had to one up the extremeness. I snoskated from the base to the summit. Solo, of course. Lets just say it was more dangerous than climbing an actively erupting volcano- and I would know.

Cut your hair and get a job Kat. And eric told me he wants to fight you too.

Climb with someone way worse than you. Then feel badass while you tell them all the extreme things you've done. The never climb with anyone good again- so you keep feeling badass.

Nice job! I thought the route was super fun. I descended the climbing route once and it was a bitch to do, but it was dark and we had no headlamps. Was the summit area very sketchy when it was soft?

oly- I heard you scooped my newest treemusketeering proj...

Big league chew is the shit

I climbed sahale unroped. Does that mean I climb 5.11?

Craig, the appeal of the west ridge is the opportunity to descend the cascadian.

The gully is to the right of what the Beckey guide calls the south rib (right hand skyline when looking at the west face). When in the gully you have the rib on your left and what I suppose is the south spur on the right. Spicoli, I think its skiable, but there is exposed rock and lots of trees. I couldn't ski it because I suck. This looks skiable too. Located on the east side and descending into commonwealth basin. It ends near the summit just between the northern-most two summits. This spot used to be marked by tons of old rap webbing on a tree, but someone took it this summer. Thanks for the yodas Oly.

Thanks craig, same to you man!

Climb: Guye Peak-South Gully Date of Climb: 2/19/2006 Trip Report: The weather was so good this weekend, I arranged to come into work late on sunday and try the South Gully on Guye Peak. I've wanted to get up this route since last december when vraddict and I tried to climb it in the fog on the shortest day of the year. I left the Alpental lot at 6:45am and hiked back down the road and up near Sahale ski club slope and around to the south side of Guye. The Gully begins above a large snow slope piled with avalanche debris. The route was so different from last year, all the wet loose rock steps were covered with excellent hard snow, so the going was fast and easy. Last winter, we even had to climb a log in the gully. The climbing was just steep enough to be fun, but never hard or scary. Once out of the gully, I continued up, dodging exposed rock steps to the south summit. This was my first time on top of Guye in the wither and the summit area is too cool. I traversed north over the main summit and other sub summits. The short rock step before the final summit was dodgy 4th class slab covered with wet snow. I tried to climb this, but couldn't get a stick with my tool in the snow and ended up dropping down the gully to my right 25 feet and going back up, which was easy. From there it was shin deep sinking without gaiters back to my racecar and by 10:30am I was back in the rental shop.

Gear Notes: Crampons and one tool Approach Notes: No snowshoes!

Hey Kategory-5, how about today at snoqualmie instead?

treemusketeering should be an olympic sport

Are there any Cook Dancers? Because they'd also agree.

I'm in for some alpental tuesdays. We can also call them skiing then blackout drunk tuesdays.

yeah it is. One game could be to see how many dudes can fit together in a bowl of fantasy flakes during half time.
