Yeah I think they ticket out of staters just as much. I still have Maine plates on (Ima slacker) and I have gotten a couple tickets.

Yeah, I guess that is the climbing bums Napalm.

Two day of trail work for an annual pass that cost $25 (or whatever I've never bought one). Yeah that sounds worth it.

So what is the story with geting rid of the whole fee demo thing? There was talk of doing away with it. Does anyone know where that stands?

They would probably be pretty fun if they were cleaned up, in there current condition though you'd want some Napalm to get rid of all the dried moss. The cliff is lower angle standing at the bottom, than it looks from the road.

Alright weather looks awesome, who wants to break out the snorkle and flippers and climb something atIndex?......................................I thought so. Well let's try to do this next week and see Mama Nature will cooperate, next time.

Yeah Alpinfox and I had Pubclub from Friday to Sunday in Icicle, with a little bit of climbing.

I would be able to show a little bit early to set up ropes at Index if that is where we are going. 32 or 38 I wouldn't be able to get there until later. So folks which will it be stellar cracks or Sigh bolted choss?

You suck, get a job so you have something to do besides remind me that I could be having more fun than I am right now.

Yeah that one is not a good one unless you get the light just rust right. I live up there and been able to catch air on those street crossings. I always think about building a small ramp to set up on one of those street crossing, the nice thing is there is endless runout, until the light.

Could have been worse, how about this rude bear.

Who here is sick of all this "Homeland Security", pleaz, what a bunch of crap?

I had a friend that hit 69 mph coming down Teton Pass, that was his top speed. For myself, my top recorded speed is 56 mph, but I think I have gone faster, just don't normally have a computer on my bike. At a national Norba downhill race I averaged 45 mph, with 2 minute intervals, I managed to pass two and almost passed a third at the finish line. That ride was a rush. Hey Paco you should try the Magnolia loop the other way, it is fast to, especially on the park drive that has views of the water. Also up in Shoreline area there is a really steep fast hill there, actually the ride that I do there are several fast hills.

dont forget boobbyP edit: and i might still be on the injured reserve list next week.... Hey Swhateveryourlastnameis what do you mean you are on the injured list, wtf did you do? I hope to be completely off the list by then and can rope gun a few routes over at Index. It is a great place to climb, we could have a fire down at the campsite next to the river afterwards.

Lately been in to doing alpine routes, Vesper, WA Pass, Forbidden, don't have anything in mind for this weekend yet. Looking for easier climbs since I am not totally up to par, around 5.7 or so. Also prefer to do day trips, even if it means getting up at a god awful hour. So you up for it?

Did I hear INDEX.

Are't you suppose to say pro is aid. Your becoming unpredictable.

Is the Smoots guide the only readily available info that is out there? Like I don't even know how to get to the area or anything like that. Ken

Well it has been 7 and half weeks since my accident and I can still feel it. The last three weekend I have been able to get out, though been keeping it mellow 5.6 and under, and been climbing in my sneaks as opposed to rock shoes. After a day of climbing my foot is real gimpy in the morning, then losens up later in the day. Still got sometime before I am 100%.

Cycling is what I choose for my aerobic workouts. I work out aerobicly so that approaches are easier for me. I feel that running works my leg muscles the same way they are worked when I hiking to the base of the crag or mountain. The reason why I like cycling is cause I feel like I can hammer one day and then go out climbing the next without being tired. I also like all the ground that I can cover on my bike, it opens up a lot more terrain from my doorstep, compared to running. The one thing that I don't like about cycling is the time commitment, definitely takes longer to get a good aerobic work out in. As for getting hit, I don't worry about it, in the city I move just about as fast as traffic on average, the PNW seems to be quite curtious to cyclist, and there are bike lanes and trail if you don't feel comfortable on the road. Riding on the open streets you just have to ride agressively, which is fun. If you are interested in staying injury free I would reccomend road riding over mountain biking, I have hurt myself more time riding my mountain bike than I have in any other sport, though I still love mountain biking.

I found the 10b easier than the last 10a pitch.

I am sure it is somewhere in here, but Ican't find it, or maybe it doesn't exist. Anyway I am looking for info on the Tieton area. I have never been there, but interested in checking out the area, since I have heard good things about it. Any suggestions on where to go, what routes to do, so on and so on? So can any of you help me out?

Right here. In the same thread.

And again Mike

It is amazing that China didn't make in the final three. Though their was all kinds mistakes on the floor, but I thought their performance on the horse would make up for it. Thos guys were so freaking fast on that thing.
