  1. Made an attempt on the West Face on 7/14/07 FSR 4096 is in good shape. It was a bit loose, but no real issue for a Saturn Sedan. The trail is also in good shape. When you get to the first major wash, go straight up for about 650' (vert) to find the trail again on the other side. Plenty of water in the basin, also plenty of bugs. Rockfall kept us off the route.

    Tried the West Face of Sloan. Rockfall tried to kill us. We ran away.
  7. You may not be trying......but you are succeeding. If you don’t like the discussion…..move on friend. If you don’t know be by now……I like being the “devils advocate”. There is nothing wrong with this. Sorry I have offended you with questions you don’t like. Kev I'm a dick because I don't have the patience to be nice to dumbasses. Sorry. A devil's advocate takes a position and discusses it. You succeed one dumb question with another. It's hardly the same thing. Thanks for playing. go back to your coloring book.

    Anyone?

    You misunderstand: I don't actually work on anything while I'm at work.

    Fuck yeah!
  10. So....the Huber brother dont climb "big walls"? "Annoying chut" is not a good internet persona. I've seen "Violent dick", "Acerbic retard" and "Passive-aggressive shithead" work pretty well here, but your choice is lacking. You know what everyone here is talking about. If you have been climbing for 10+ years, you probably have a good idea of what a big wall is. Shut the fuck up. Really. No one is going to argue with you. Your dumbass posts arguing semantic minutae don't interest anyone past the fourth post where you have receieved a reasonable answer. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm trying to help you be less of an asshole. You aren't good at it.
  11. Risking your eyesight like that is among the dumbest things I've ever heard of. I'm going to organize a mob of blind people to kick that guys ass.
  12. ...forgettable. We did it the day after you guys 7/7/07 and I kind of had same impression of it. i also thought the best part was being on this cool, big wall that I've looked at for years before. Did you find the Hybrid Alien I dropped on the snow?
  13. There isn't a hard fast rule about these things. If it was solely based on length of climb there would be way more "big walls" out there. Instead, there are a lot of long free climbs. Typically the term "big wall" means that aid climbing is involved, not a shitload of bolt clipping.

  15. If you can climb it in a day, you can call it a crag. The rest of us will think of it as a big wall.
  16. 1000+ feet (ish) More than a day on the wall (ish)
  17. Not quite wheelchair accessible, but close. The NPS has standards to which new trails are to be constructed. They are to make the parks more accessible to the less fit among us.
  18. Welcome to the darkside

  20. Were you packing up at the WA Pass overlook lot on Saturday afternoon? Small pickup truck? How'd your trip go fox? We saw the car at the pullout as we were leaving last night. PRETTY GOOD! We ran into Sarah and Oscar coming down on Saturday and they said ya'll were gonna head up Kangaroo Temple on Sunday. Guess not eh? Congrats on LC in a day! No temple, we went for Prime Rib instead. Thanks. I'm going to see if Counterfeitfake will write an LC TR.
  21. Trip: Goat Wall, Mazama - Prime Rib of Goat, Grade III, 5.9, 11 Pitches Date: 7/9/2007 Trip Report: I finally found some time to get on this thing. I've read the TR's and seen the topo. It looked like fun. I will spare you the boring details. 1. Bring a helmet. There is a lot of loose rock up there. 2. If you can lead 5.8 at exit 38, you can climb this route. All cruxes were well bolted. 3. Rappelling 11 pitches sucks. 4. Bring your approach shoes up with you to make it more comfortable. 5. Leave the quickdraws at home. Bring about 10 singles and 4 doubles instead. I appreciate the immense amount of work that went into this route, but I didn't think it was very good. The 5.7 traverse and the 5.8 pitch just before that were pretty cool. The final 5.9 pitch had good exposure, but shitty, dirty rock. I got the impression that the route was forced up the wall. It did not take an aesthetic or even logical line. The route follows the least shitty rock up the wall requiring belay moves and a significant amount of second class hiking. On the other hand, you won't find another 11 pitch 5.8 route to climb in Washington, let alone an 11 pitch sport route. This would make a decent long day for a new sport climber. If you are looking for a classic route, this is not it. If you are looking for a long casual climb in the 5.6 range with a few harder bits, this is your ticket. Gear Notes: Single and double slings, helmet, approach shoes, water Approach Notes: Up the mining road, up the scree, on the route

  23. 4th - BBQ with a bunch of cool nerds. 5th - The Beckey route on Liberty Bell to scout the descent for 6th - Liberty Crack in a day. 7th - Sun, mosquitos, and box wine at Wa Pass. 8th - Prime Rib of Goat 9th - work. Fuck you, you fuckin fuck.
  24. You will have to file a police report. then list most if not all of what you had. I would expect to get canceled a month or two after filing the claim. I was. I was also blacklisted from getting more insurance for about 2 years. This could be a real pain in the ass if you own your own home.
  25. still have traumatic memories of the first boyfriend trying to slip his hand up your sweater and feel your knockers in the 70s? You read me like a book.
