The Coug. right in the heart of Greek Row in Pullman. Boy is that a hazy memory. 19 with a fake id.

were you guys up there around 1PM? we drove up just as it started to rain and there were 2 people high up, near cocaine crack, looking miserable...so we headed to Frenchman Coulee instead.

It's great to think that RMI paid wholesale price for that stuff, used it, and are now selling it off with no loss to them. brilliant plan.

I don't know why everyone is so concerned: Leavenworth Saturday: Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of rain in the morning...becoming partly cloudy in the afternoon. Breezy...cooler. Highs in the mid 50s to lower 60s. West wind 15 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Gusts up to 35 mph. Saturday night: Mostly clear. Lows in the mid 30s. Sunday and Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Lows in the lower 30s. I'm going cragging and if it rains, then we'll hit the Enchantments. you don't have to get permits after today. fyi, Stanley looks like it's gonna get hit this weekend though.

I'll be there for Thanksgiving. Nov 20-27... driving from Pullman.

what bill? my climbing didn't inspire you or what? good looking cams though...

they're closing out the old camalots on the BD website. that is, if you're not getting the new C4s... http://www.bdel.com/php/specials.php?gear=rock&id=242

i'm interested in the hexes, i'll PM you

i thought some of you might want to see this piece of history online. pretty cool stuff. the 1972 Chouinard Equipment Catalog

Oh the Pickets... Fleblebleb checking out the scenery Fleb climbing the west ridge of McMillan

I'd hold off on the Camalots until next month, when they're supposed to start shipping the new C4s which are 20% lighter...

NYC007 check your PMs. DPS check your e-mail.

look what i started. bwahaha. I'm sure it's a fun route, but i'm not opposed to the FS, or anyone else for that matter, chopping it.

apparently the FS is all up in arms about the extent of the bolting in wilderness. my guess is that they don't think sport climbing belongs in the backcountry.

i heard that the route is getting the chop soon. better get on it.

This is ridiculous. but FYI, the proposal does not include the USFS wilderness area (south side, etc.) it would include the Mazama glacier though. I can't see this going through, but it sure looks like they're trying to buy off the Yakimas.

Have fun, I took a course from Andrew a couple of years ago and it was well worth it.

I'm open for the weekend too. I'm thinking Alpine Lakes for alpine, but am up for whatever. I can be available from Thursday night - sunday.

Jake that is so suck. the good news is that you guys didn't do anything rash. Shoot me a PM about some climbing soon.

Bone, I was looking at the topo last winter for that very reason. I remember seeing some inviting looking areas on the map. it might be worth a recon this winter.

Jake, just take Geology 101 at school. it's an easy A and a science credit.

only if they were dropped into cracks somewhere on Upper Castle and then forgotten (or deemed fixed)...

somehow we decided to avoid the masses at WA pass and hit Leavenworth for Sunday and Monday. Spent at Castle Rock pulling out all sorts of booty (2 camalots and 2 new stoppers) on our way to a 13 pitch day w/a climber new to multipitch. Monday was a little bolt clippin at Icicle Buttress.

Spent the weekend climbing with my girlfriend. Her first alpine experience...the Beckey route on Liberty Bell on saturday. Sunday was at Castle Rock for multi pitch on The Fault and Canary. Good times.
