Murr I was up there in May and we didn't need crampons. Depending on what level you climb at, it is pretty easy, and not much for pro. Either solo it, or bring 4 or five cams (1-2.5 inches), I think I placed 5 peices on the whole thing. I don't know about what ledge you were talking about it still went at what felt like 5.4 .

Hey Fender4 not I am pretty sure all the wife and testicle parts won't work for Snowbyrd.

Dude we were at Brownstone not Nevermind? Good times, good , good leading again even though it was just bolts.

I am heading out right now.

That is true, I don't really want to choose between the two, but the question was which one to choose. I would say that I would choose Smiff. At the same time I ended my original post that both have good climbing for BreezyD

Sounds like convient shopping right next door.

Way to live in the past. That was last year. This year the 11worth event is in early October not late. I recommend going to both events, but if you have to choose don't base your decision on what happened last year. Damn AK gettin' sensitive and defensive like Beck was last year! I wasn't living in the past or anything, all it was a simple break down on how the two events went.

Nice job you guys, that is awesome!

Was there any caving potential?

Hey IIB there is going to be whole bunch of people over at WWI wall at Mt Si (E32) climbing this evening. Pub Club goes climbing, you might want to check that thread to see if you can get ride up.

The reason it is so small compared to others maybe becasue it is a women watch.

Dru what is that one, it looks like it would be fun?

I think organizing a breakfast is a great Idea... I will bring my 2 burrner coleman I have one that I can bring too.

Index, is my vote.

Friday was part of the Slesse conference. After about two hour of playing with Alpinfox's gyro ball thingy we decided to go caving. I was bummed that I couldn't get my fat ass past one squeeze, came close in the four or five tries, then I get tired and a little freaked. Saturday played auto mechanic and worked on the Jeep still got a little more to do, but was able to get a lot of maintenance done that needed to be. Sunday, went with Dave to Whidbey Island and rode fifty moles. It was crazy, for one, those fuckers can't see a damn thing they were all over the place and trying to get fifty moles to work together was difficult. All in all it was a good though .

Three cheers for the mASSter!!!!!

Here's my break down of the two last year. Pyramid vs. TG goodness Cold rain vs.Warm sun 2.5 hour drive vs. 5 hour drive Camping in Icicle Creek w/rain vs. Camping among sagebrush Ltown cragging vs. Smiffy bolt clippin The Oregonia desert in the fall is so shweet. Either place has good beginer stuff sport or trad.

I don't think it was the Schmidties that got you this faded last year, if I remember right. Baahhaahaha!!!! Damn that is a funny one. Ha ha ha seekers, stole this one from ya all.

TG how many did we go through last year? I just remember we ran out and a hat going around to sponsor a swill run on Sunday. I am sure we can get a web hat going around ahead of time to help pay for the cost of those kegs. I know personally I would much rather be drinking your brew over that cheap animal beer that showed up. If I remember correctly one of the reasons that we ran out of beer was because a certain PDX crew, who shall remain nameless, tapped into the stout not long after picking it up from the supplier. Bastards!!! Sounds like a lynchin' of the culprits has to a part of festivities this year.

Yeah I agree the informal icefest was fun last year. Can't wait to see Dottie again this year.

Shit I wish that was me, even though I would have been back clipped, just kidnappin' pics off the web. BTW it is Le Mullet 6+ I believe. The full picture of the climb is the one right above.

I wasn't saying that is the only thing you need, but in my opinion climbing rock is much easier that ice climbing, physically. Doing some weight training before the season starts makes the transition a lot easier. You don't need to bulk yourself up like a gorilla, but training your muscle to repeatedly: swing ice axes overhead, carry extra 10lbs of gear give or take some, climb steep snow slopes to approach climbs, screw and unscrew ice pro, and kicking front points all day long makes the transition from rock to ice much easier.

Dood, I thought you all about the gymnastycs.

Your fuckin joking right or you are a joke? Newbies if you can hike you can scramble. No tests none of that shite.
