Thanks for the info...

If one is planning a multiday climb on index Is one allowed to camp at the base of the mountain as long as it's not around Lake serene? These day use only areas confuse me.

When we did it last June we went from paradise to the camp below hazard on the first day, then from that camp to the summit and carried over to descend the ingraham the next day for a total of about 16 hours of climbing and a lot of lounging. Shazam, next time I do it it will be without bivy gear, sub-14 hours. Mark my word!

Yeah, what's with the ridiculous amount of petty theft in PDX anyway? Three days after I moved here my bike got stolen and then my window... My roomate got his car broken into and gear stolen out of it also. Totally lame. I work at PRG now, so no leaving anything in my truck. It is the suck. Oh yeah, asshat is a glorious term.

On thursday some asshat broke the passenger side window of my truck and grabbed my backpack that had my gym climbing shit in it. It was parked down by PRG. An orange BD speed pack with a pair of mythos and a pair of moccasyms in it and my ratty old arcteryx harness which i loved dearly. My guess is they will not be able to sell an old harness and two pairs of shoes that smell like ass, so it will end up in a dumpster somewhere. Sigh...

I've never seen conditions go from "super very fat best shape ever duuuuuude" to non-existent in nine days. Especially with the weather http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/forecast/city_e.html?wjw being relatively cold at night. But I'm a Merrican with an inferior education and don't understand Celsius, so whatever, if anyone still wants to go, I'm down...

Oh glassgowkiss, why do you ruin my hopes and dreams? I guess fishstick is just full of shit then. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/326196/Main/316190#Post326196 Why did I move to this dreadful city when I used to live an hour and a half from Ouray and the closest grade 5 pillar was a mere ten minute drive from my house? Damn the pacific northwest.

Who wants to do it? We can take my truck, leave tomorrow or something and easily be back by Monday. Seriously, I'm bored and unemployed. I need to get out of here... Or will someone be in the area that wants to climb? Save me!

How about now? Is anything like say, polar circus, still in?

Hey, has anyone climbed any of the other routes on crown point? We did the shitty approach to check out other possible routes and found some ancient pins at the base of the obvious crack system to the left of the big roof in the center of the face, it's visible from the road. This was after climbing a really grassy pitch. The portland guide book I've seen doesn't have much in the way of descriptions of the existing routes. Does anyone know? And oh yeah, there are quite a few dvd porns someone apparently threw off the top if anyone is interested in "booty".

Thanks for the info fellas. We climbed crown jewel during the brunt of the ice storm in january. Very awesome, and got our first look at crown point up close. Definitly on the to do list.

Alright, has anyone climbed crown point or got any beta on any of the routes up there. It looks pretty manky, but I like mank.

I do. wbamosiii@hotmail.com

We climbed crown jewel during the storm earlier this month and I lost the business card that had your number on it. Anyway, I wanted to call and see if you wanted to go climbing sometime soon. Assuming that you read this message board...anyway, if anyone knows Peter or is Peter, drop me a line.

Hey Jay, Sounds like the rest of your climb was badass aside from the puking part. Anyway, we had a long ass day after reaching the top we descended the Ingraham and then all the way down to Paradise. It was sweet aside from the second degree sunburn... Anyway, that would be awesome if you could send us those pictures, my address is PO Box 3061 Durango, CO 81302, or if it would be easier to e-mail them my e-mail address is wbamosiii@hotmail.com. Thanks again! -Bill

Hey everyone, my brother-in-law lost his brand new Grivel G-14 crampons either at camp Muir or somewhere between camp Muir and Paradise. If anyone found them or has any information as to their whereabouts, please send me a PM or e-mail me at karlmarx02@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot! -Bill
