Easy there.

Dude, that whole feature fell off a few years ago. The topo is out of date. I think the route as it is today is a more aesthetic line.

I just puked a little.

Ok, I found the topo: Topo But I think it's out of date. Does anyone have GPS coordinates for the Fenix? I had some route finding issues last night. Here's the route we took. As you can see. We had some…. Difficulties. Apparently, the objective moved since last I had been there. Point A is where my partner declared that the route is bullshit and we should get a beer. The beer was deferred and we pressed on. Cascade badasses in action. Point B is where I proposed a bivy to wait for better conditions. Luckily, sensible reasoning prevailed and we avoided a night sitting in a parking lot wishing we weren't such dumbasses. We returned to the car (Atomic Orange) and drove a distance to another Trailhead. This time, the approach was much less committing. We knew we were close when we saw these guys standing outside, smoking. We had to do a little fan-schwacking to get to the door where we were felt up by security. Inside we found some of this And a little bit of The team's spirits rose. The show was already in swing: And I wonder, why is this guy at every freaking show in Seattle? Is he a fan? He was friendly. He shook my hand and offered me a smoke. Nice guy. Approach: The approach is in good shape if you can sort through all of the erroneous data out there. Rack: Black t-shirt, walking shoes. Beer goggles optional.

Quit bitching and go for a run at lunch

Let me guess - you found a stack of pron and couldn't help yourself? I just wrapped my knee around a soccer goalpost while playing Ultimate Frisbee. I was terrified that I had wrecked it after reading this thread. Turns out I bruised the deuce out of it and strained the LCL. Good luck on recovery.

How can you tell that an engineer is an extrovert? He is looking at your shoes instead of his own.

The gear is good, the delivery is suspect. I've got a bitchin big assed bag that is tits.

Looks freakin cool. Nice going Kix! I won't be pissing in your pot anytime soon. I waaaay suck at bouldering.

This is sounding more and more like a junk food support group

You guys are killing me!

Meatballs, beer discuss

When we are climbing, we set our own rules to achieve our own goals. Some people free solo. Some people aid climb. It sucks when a route is being monoplolized. I'm a shitty climber, so I have to deal with this more than you badasses that are looking for a mutlipitch 5.11c. Use your badass skillz, quit whining and climb something else.

I'm the stinky guy

Late night spraying. Duh.

Neutral? I've volunteered a few times and they really appreciate having climbers in the work parties. I didn't get any negative vibe at all.

We have a scale on the way to the restroom. I weighed myself before the dump and then after. I lost 1.9 pounds

Breach birth?

Good god. I only have hybrid aliens for aiding. I think I will keep it at that and relay on the Zeros for trad.

What you climbed was "Crickets". "Chitlins" clips the first bolt (buttonhead) and moves left into the blocky corner and follows nondescript moss patches and rhubarb to the top of the cliff. VK was misinformed on the details which is why it is wrong in the current guidebook. The first ascentionists of "Crickets" rated the route 10b, I think it is more accurately 5.9+/10a. 5.8 would be a bit of a sand bag IMO. Tis a fun quality route. (The anchor chains and all bolts are easily viewed from the base and could/should have indicated the books error before you left the ground yielding a "full rack"...) - Thanks for the info. It felt stiffer than 5.8, but I suck at slab, so I assumed it was my own lack of skill that kept my butthole puckered. You make the assumption that I recon the route before climbing. In this, you are wrong. Besides, I look sexy with a full rack.

He was weaned off shorts over polypro, but he isn't giving up the hat.
