OMG I nearly spit up my chicken and cheese, Murray! Ok, righty-O the crate is on its way back first thing tomorrow!

Woot! Once again both vehicles ransacked for a pittance in ashtray change and cdrs this morning around 2 am. This happened last year at this same time as some may remember. Just thought I would pass on this friendly holiday warning. At least this time they broke the windows with more professionalism and left no blood stains.

From his hate mail bin: I think thats curable with Benzoyl Peroxide

Nice bits on Scott and kinda cool that the community still remembers him. Thats was the season of bliss in 1987, I had a chance to meet and climb with quite a few GOOD folks, and as I remember several other shining stars that passed thru that summer are also not with us. Seth Shaw was another one that stayed with my neighbor. Some nice memories, thanks!

Skeezix, Thanks, I figured it didn't turn out well since I didn't find any more info on it. I have some cool pics from that summer at DETO, i'll make an effort to scan em in and post em. Thanks mate!

I was just doing some googling of folks I used to know and when I came to Scotts name, I got some odd and old links to some newspaper in Juneau mentioning he and some other fellow never returned from some flight out in the bush. I worked with Scott at Devils Tower in 1987 and was curious if anyone had any more info on him or if anyone knew him. Thanks!

Wow, I had no idea. Seems like all these boards are interbreeding like some sort of NW sports polygamists. Good thing I only subscribe to three boards and one of those is my own.

I could care less, got a stock check coming in the mail tomorrow...a new digi camera in my future...life is good. Our percieved world is 'bout as big as our overall concern and current focus. Life goes on and it really has little bearing on my current one, until it crosses my path. Such is the situation and axis of the common realm. Random internet squabbling is about as pointless as piss in an ocean. Get a grip peeps. chipnglue4evr

I have been able to fly for some time now, most obscure destinations are well within my grasp.

Heya VR, check your PM's!

Hey thats great! looks like something that chipandglue guy over at ascentionist.com might be interested in!

Very cool in a way, I think Ed would have mixed feelings but overall would be happy. I wonder if the music temple will be accessable again? If anyone is interested, the book ON THE LOOSE by Jerry and Renny Russel is a great period book(1960's) about two youth growing up in the Southwest. Alot of the emphasis is directed to the loss of Glen Canyon. I REALLY love this book.

Wooo! What a sweety! Congrats! A lot of sweet puppy breath! Enjoy it!

Beckey was smooth, but im sorry Dru...yours is a little sloppy on the edges. Accuracy is key...YO!

Your percieved "worst" route is your BEST opportunity to improve skills OR appreciation of a specific weakness you blame on the aforementioned route due to whatever you feel "challenged" or "affronted" by. Every route is valid and has a right to be climbed. YOU just might not be the right climber for that route. Dont H8!, just move on and let others formulate their own opinion.

AndyF! How you doing? Are you still in Tacoma? Cool, been forever but glad to see your still in the mix!

I disagree, this was my second ever leading experience, really phenominal position, excellent and diverse climbing. A true Northwest "rite of passage" IMHO.

Very true! I found the same thing at Devils Tower, a similar stone formation ( variant: phonolite porphyry) , cams were often skechy at best in the undulating cracks. Hexes and stoppers were some of the most bomber things around.

Awesome routes that are VERY accessible for a wide range of abilities. The rock is a high quality andesite chock full of features! A definite must visit for 5.8 climbers. A great place to learn trad as well!! I love the place!
