I think you missed the North Cascades forum with this post. i didn't see it in the Climbing Gyms forum either. Someone might miss it.

I had a good time on Dumbell a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, my camera is busted.

60 meters long, 9.7mm-10.5mm in length. You could get a dry rope, but it's unnecessary for cragging (unless you like climbing in the rain). Check out reioutlet.com and gearexpress.com for cheap ropes. I don't know about quickdraws. I use my doubled single slings

The rope should be your personal anchor. Ummm... what about when you're at the top of a sport pitch and you have to untie yourself to feed the rope through the chains? Or any time you're getting ready to rap off of anything, for that matter? What do you anchor yourself with then? Personal anchor = tied double sling. It's cheap and multi-functional. A daisy chain is only useful to clip yourself in when you are waiting to rappel. Beyond that, it's a good possibility that you will have a couple on your rack for climbing, and you won't need them for climbing when you are rapelling.

1. Rope 2. More locking 'biners and webbing to set up topropes (learn how) 3. Quickdraws to lead sport routes

Climb: Kangaroo Temple, Cutthroat -North Face, South East Buttress Date of Climb: 7/18/2004 Trip Report: Just an FYI - There are 3 bolts hidden on the far north side of the summit block to rappel down the North Face Route. Single raps will do, but we did a double and a single to get back to the notch. IMHO the route is not really worth the time. Two pitches of ok climbing. I would definitely recommend the NW face or SW face. they looked bitchin. We just didn't have time to check them out. We also did the SEB of Cutthroat on Saturday. I lead all pitches. It kicked major ass. Gear Notes: Standard gear. Need something big (#11 hex or 3.5 camalot) for the offwidth at the top of the SEB on Cutthroat. Approach Notes: Good trails, chossy gulleys

Just a website. But you can have any order sent to a local REI store for free (save shipping $$)

My favorite cam - a #1 clog cam that I got for $20 from REIOutlet.com. It's cheap and always semms to fit.

Spent Saturday getting chewed on by mosquitos while we climbed the SEB of Cutthroat. We saw a big black bear on the way out. Spent Sunday getting chewed on by mosquitos while we climbed the NF of Kangaroo Temple. We should have climbed the NWF instead.

This jog down memory lane took me all of 7 minutes to complete. At least I'm efficient in my wasting of time. BTW - Once I saw the mullet thread, I couldn't help myself.

You're right. I could be arguing about politics instead.

I'm almost getting tired of taking cracked's

If you are really lazy, you can use your rescue pulleys to reduce drag.

Then you have obviously never lowered your shoulder and knocked the bejeezus outta someone. It's nice to see the glazed look in their eye and the snot bubbles from their nose. Nevermind. Stick to skiing you weenie.

A friend went up three weeks ago. I'm pretty sure they used the Beckey description. He said it was good frontpointing on hard snow up the face. The descent was pretty foul in his opinion. Crappy snow mixed with crappy rock and choss.

cleanup on aisle 4...
