  1. A little correction to the story that had been reported by the media: http://woodinville.patch.com/articles/update-family-says-doctor-killed-on-baker-did-not-ski-off-cliff
  2. Located in Seward Park in Seattle: 2 full size pieces of 3/4 inch plywood full of t nuts 1 piece of 8x3' ish 3/4 inch plywood full of t nuts 2 small rectangles of 3/4 inch plywood full of t nuts 1 small triangle of 3/4 inch plywood full of t nuts Tub with a bunch of holds (as shown). These are homemade holds made from silica sand and resin, and they are modeled both off of name brand holds and from customized shapes. There are also a few hardwood holds. There are holds ranging from jibs to slopers to jugs. The plywood is painted a bluish grey. Everything comes from a non-smoking home. $100 for everything.
  3. Thanks for the info, will look into these. Do you know anything about campgrounds? I'm having a hard time figuring out which (if any) are open in the winter...
  4. I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on where to stay (cheap) in the Methow in wintertime. Do you have a favorite campground that stays open all year? Thank you!
  5. summitchaserCJB, where you able to book it from your computer in the USA? Did you go Vancouver -> Las Vegas? Anything else weird? I was getting a message that said the voucher was invalid when I did that... sure would like for it to work!
  6. Unfortunately the rules of this voucher seem to have been recently modified such that the trip must begin and end in Canada, AND be booked from Canada. Even when I tried (from my computer in Seattle) to create a Vancouver -> Las itinerary it deems the voucher invalid. Dang.
  7. Looks like it's in the news now: http://www.king5.com/news/local/Mount-Rainier-climber-feared-dead-99473089.html
  8. Hello Climbers, Spring is coming and I'm gearing up to teach some Open Water Swim clinics in Lake Washington. I figure there is some overlap between the climbing and the triathlon communities, and wanted to spread the word! I'm offering 3 types of courses ranging from hour-long individual sessions to 6-week small-group complete race preparation. Swimming is a great way to cross train and get some gentle-on-the-joints aerobic exercise that also strengthens your back and core. You can check it out here: www.seattleopenwater.com Thanks! Emily
  9. This reality is never far from my thoughts. My heart aches for the siblings, significant others, parents and friends for whom the reality has struck. Condolences to all involved.
  10. Hello- I am trying to rent out a studio cottage in my backyard in Seward Park. It is a cute, clean, light, small, modern space in a stand alone building with an attached storage area and yard/garden space dedicated to the resident of the cottage. You can see more information here: https://sites.google.com/site/rentgardencottage/ It's not necessarily the best space for somebody with tons of gear (I know... maybe this is the wrong message board!) but it is a great little home with lots of privacy and light and is near a direct bus downtown, the lightrail, Lake Wa and Seward Park. You are also assured of awesome neighbors! Let me know if you or anybody you know might be interested! Thanks! Contact: lanternfish@gmail.com, or 206-427-4936
  11. Hello, This is a little off-topic, but I imagine there are some triathletes (or soon to be triathletes) on this board who may be interested in Open Water Swim clinics, and I am going to be teaching some this summer. They range from full 6-week race preparation to hour-long one-on-one intensives, and are aimed at helping you achieve the skills and comfort necessary for safe and fun open water swimming. Do you know any gals training for the Danskin who are nervous about the swim? Please spread the word! www.seattleopenwater.com Thanks!!! Emily PS: Swimming is an excellent low-impact, aerobic workout that strengthens your core and is an excellent complement to climbing!
