Touching The Void DVD is available on the REI website

is it really a .15a before someone else climbs it to verify?

How about a Thread here or Here?

Funny, I don't think that I have ever gone to Eightmile rock and NOT seen a car parked there. No access issues yet. FYI - I usually camp at Eightmile CG and walk over when I'm too lazy to climb elsewhere.

w00t! w00t! ... Sorry, wrong thread...

Or you can drive to the bottom and have your cooler of beer handy.

Now I don't want to hear anymore of you Canadians making fun of our leader, ok? Canadian Prime Minsiter is a dum-dum

Story Here

Let me get this up front - I have never set a route. I probably never will. This post isn't directed at anyone specifically. IMHO, if there is no hold to climb on, there is no route. You don't chip a hold, you don't bolt a rock on. Routes on rock are found, not made. If you want to chip/glue build a home wall. If the old bolts are scary and just plain dangerous, then replacing the old bolts is ok. Adding a bunch of bolts is not. Some rock is unclimable. Deal with it. Just because it is nearby doesn't mean that it HAS to be developed. One more thing - I've never been to Dishman. This is just the basic ethics of rock climbing that was taught to me by a group of people who have an amazing amount of experience.

Generally speaking, I don't eat anything that has the phrase "skim off hair" in the preparation instructions.

Are we taking sides? I'm with Greg in the pit.

It does bring up an interesting point about asthetics. The lichen on the boulders has been there as long as the trees, but for some reason, it's ok to get rid of the lichen but not the trees. Boulderers are lichen killers!!! (all climbers are, but let's not get into that.)

Climbing at UW rock is free. So is Marymoor. You can also stay in shape by carrying my pack around. I can make a weekly schedule so that you know where to meet me in order to carry my pack. And since you are a fellow cc.com poster, I won't charge you a single cent for this training opportunity.

Flukes are tough to get placed right. I have never used on (or even brought one) during a climb. I have placed them successfully for practice. Flukes aren't going to be much more effective in sugar snow. They seem to work best in heavy wet snow. My $0.02.

climbing is a sport for cavers who are afraid of depths.

Bellingham is aid.

It's funny that you mention that incident. My buddy was on the hill that day and met Hommer as well as Wickwire at Camp Muir just before they set out to the Cleaver. FYI - he said Wickwire was a dick. -<shrug>-

Barney's Rubble, Bruce's Boulder, XY Crack Bruce's Boulder is 5.6 miles from town on Icicle Creek Road on the left (River) side look for the big rock. Barney's Rubble is immediately across the street. XY crack is across the stree from the Eightmile CG entrance also on Icicle Creek Road. You may also want to search the site and perhaps buy a guide.

Is everywhere!!!!

I think that this is worthy, but how do you let people know? Do you just spray the area and let everyone know wht you are up to? Do you leave a note? Drop a monster Stuzer at the belay?
