Look for a tr on Dierdre by Uncle Tricky, I think.

I don't think there will be much to see. It wil most likely come across as lens flare

Their injured partner was on a glacier. They were in a hut sleeping. What more is there to know?

How much for just the skis and bindings?

Calculus crack at 5.8, South Arete 5.9 There is a super-secret 5.8 bolted "finish" to the Ultimate Everything. It's Called the last two pitches of Upper Echelon. Upper Echelon Topo Head left after the second dyke pitch on UE to Pitch 7 of well, UE.

Maybe I don't know what "soft" is these days. I always thought Tieton grades were harder than Squamish, Leavenworth, Smith, or the very few 5.easy climbs at Index. If anything, Tieton will seem a lot harder to a new 5.easy climber because it is steep. Maybe you mean Vantage is soft...

That's why you don't put petrol in a diesel motor.

Pope sends hard on the newly re-developed classic "R&D"

It takes a big man to admit french free on a 5.6.

Hahahahahhahahaaaa! Awesome TR. Good work fellas. We were wondering if you were still around as we tromped around on Sunday. I guess you were.

... but you'uns from Seattle should stay away... mmmmhmm. I reckon.

No one blamed the route. did you read the OP?

I've made and used this stuff before Moose Goo It's tasty and easy to pack. These days, it's all snickers or payday bars (when it's hot out). I guess fast & light food seems silly to me. Top alpinist probably need to worry about it. Folks like you and I just need to get more fit.

Until you fail, you don't really know what you are capable of.

Pictures man, pictures. You guys gush about beacon, let's see it.

Stuck rope = hunker down, but STAY TIED IN!!! And fuck the whistle. Someone already went for help, your whistle is just making a scene. There is inherent risk in climbing. One risk is that your rope may get stuck and you may spend a few hours on a ledge TIED IN to the stuck rope, waiting for help. The moral of the story is, at a minimum, all newbies should know that they stay TIED IN until directly told to untie by someone who knows what they are doing. It wasn't mentioned, but the belayer should probably know how to escape the belay so they can go for help if needed. More anchors would have made this a little easier, but not any safer.

80m? isn't this getting out of hand? I haven't seen any of the thin ropes for sale on a spool just yet. I'm pretty sure that's the only way you are going to get an 80m rope

White river as in Mt Rainier? That's not NW forest pass, that's the day use fee or the yearly (golden eagle?) pass.

I love bacon.

Hey, this started as a poo thread.

"Grow a sack and buy some nuts"

That bolt should be chopped anyway. You can protect with a #6.

It might entice them to shit on the most popular ledge at your favorite crag.

I'm interested. The only chockstones to practice on at the gym are the fat guys who can't make it up the 5.6. They get a little pissy when you use their ear as a mono pocket and climb through.

It looks like they are installing some rad fourth class lines.
