Is Index dry yet?

Blake was cranking on the l-worth boulders this weekend, and I think he had fun.

NF and NF coulour on buckner. NE face of redoubt.

There is a sign in bro's compound that says climbers may enter at their own risk. Heard some rumor that the forest service won't let him build a house on the property, and he has to allow access to climbers. We skirted around his garage on the east end of the property last week with no problems.

erie sucks

On multipitch descents: If the middle of the rope has no mark or has worn off, just mark it with chalk on the first rap and re-chalk it every 3 raps or so. Alpine rope systems: Get yourself a thin 60 or 70m lead line, 60 or 70m of 6 or 7 mil cord, some rap rings; learn the proper knot-blocks to use, and the intraciacies of the system. Very light, very versatile. Windscreen: use a laminated extra map as your windscreen for your pocket rocket. Secure the side with duct tape and make sure you have a back up. Snow climbing: use a picket daisy'ed to yourself as a second tool on easier snow climbs (NF of Shuksan, NF of Buckner, etc.).

all but 1 ft of heaven's gate was dry on sunday, but that's proabaly changing righ now...

i wouldn't send your cams to cch. it once took 14 months and 10 phone calls to get my cams back.

i've got a silent partner that you can borrow some time for a test drive if you like.

we climbed it around dawn once. bumped bob marley as we climbed, with a backpack full of hot coffee. drank coffee and herbables in that spot as the sun lit the desert. good times.

i own a cold cold world chernobyl a wild things andinista pack and a cilo gear 60L no question the cilo gear is the best

anybody know the closest shop to bellingham where i can try some nepal evo gtx's on?

Not a great climb now who's gonna push the direct up the headwall?

i recommend black and tan wall when in the area. pretty quality limestone sport climbing.

sweet. hell of a place to be in a storm!

Never lost my kidney, but i did lose my spleen about 10 years ago.

Use the force.

my wife has a similar device called a lady-j that she has never used but may someday. she's been putting in her own crotch zippers on her pants and they've been working great. It actually improved her climbing on long routes because she wouldn't hold back her water intake and thus would stay hydrated and climbing faster/harder.

Is the navigator the East Face.. that looks wicked hard! the nav wall goes up a sub summit to the east of the east pillar. both are ED1, both are hard. the one positive of the east pillar may be the additions of fixed gear (20 year old bolts and pitons), while the nav wall has not a single piece of anything resembling fixed gear, prior ascents, hints of human life, etc. Nav Wall TR East Pillar TR but really those are just warm ups for the real hard climb on slesse, the NE Face.

Your kidding right? I didnt want that as my goal, it set its hooks in me. My Goals: 1. Hoze 2. Combine the pickets traverses. 3. New rt in Gunsight range. 4. Project X Not kidding at all. Your slide show in mt. vernon inspired me. overall the rock didn't look too bad (especially for the pickets). the possibility of a direct line up the tower of remoteness and a repeat of one of the longer routes in the cascades is quite enticing. seems more sane than hozemeen, but i geuss that one set its hooks in you as well.
