    you can say that quote all you want but as i remember lowe was a bad ass who took on insanely hard challenges. it's not like he was just out cruising on 5.8 all the time.

     

    there is nothing wrong with the desire to climb harder. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, so whatever it takes to motivate you. there is also nothing wrong with being competitive, some people are not into it(there the one's lying to themselves) and some are. if you are content to just cruise on stuff within your comfort range fine, but i want to do new lines. and the harder you climb the more great lines are open to you. i am tired of seeing all this incredible stuff and thinking oh that is too hard for me.

     

    what climber does not have ambition?

    I did backbone last year mid-summer when it was about 90 in leavy. It was cool temps the whole time and we got no sun, perfect really.

     

    this weekend looks to be cold. I am guessing the conditions will be very cold and windy.

    The tooth is cool, it's easy to get to, easy to climb in any weather and best of all there is no other climb in the cascade's that is more spray - worthy !!

     

    If by spray worthy you mean sucky, chossy, crowded and altogether lame then i have to agree with you.

     

    Nice winter pic, that would add some excitement to it.

    i don't understand the interest in doing the tooth multiple times. it was fun the first time but hardly a sensational route. partners have tried to talk me into a quick lap on it but the thought holds little interest for me. maybe it is just me but once is enough for most alpine routes, even the best ones.

    Seriously, one trail is hardly making a dent in the deforestation of the area considering all the logging going on down the valley.

     

    The forest service just wants to be in total control of their land, hopefully they can be convinced that this trail and route will not be a major impact on the area and that the route will be a plus to the area. maybe offering to put some work into the trail would appease them. i for one would be happy to put in some work if it would help.

    whereever I may roam has become such a trade route it is best to avoid on the weekends, esp. since the standard rap line uses some of the anchors on the route itself. team climbs up to anchors, team raps down to same anchors, hilarity ensues.

     

    We did this route on saturday and were the only ones on the route, a second party was just starting up when we hit the ground. most people have not bought the little red supplement guide book so they do not know about it. Do it now before word really gets out.
