High marks for ProFormance Rehab on Eastlake in Seattle. Helped me avoid the knife.

The problem with the walk-off is that people get tempted to cut left too soon and get cliffed out or on some "steeper than we wanted terrain". Follow the WELL-WORN trail and stay right when there are choices.

It just needs a via ferrata so everyone can know where to go.

And congrats to Ben for linking his Project too.

Nevermind at x38 stays shaded all day and usually has a breeze
No way it's hot, buggy and the climbs are mank at nevermind, the last time I was there every hold had a rattle snake sleep'n on it and ticks under every bush!!!!
You're right, it IS mank. A giant block came off Steep Street some years ago so the start is now harder and you step up into an undercling on a protruding rock chip that looks like it'll blow off in your face at any minute. Two key holds past the upper crux of Culture Shock are wiggly blocks that will come out some day. All you have to do is look at the rubble under your feet to see what happens to most holds eventually.
But it's still fun!

Nice. Way to go after a new line!

"Frozen good" isn't going to matter if the mountainside falls down some more. Those Flickr pics are pretty amazing.
Don't mess with Mother Nature!

For those who haven't climbed the Off Ramp wall the routes are great value for the grades even if a little short. The Girls Rule route is missing the 5th bolt; looks chopped.
Also want to comment that the 10d and 11a routes to the right of Space Face are very soft at the given grades even for Exit 38.
Yep. For that matter so is Space Face, but the question is are they fun? I'd say yes.

Wierd. There's got to be more to the story.

Maybe they only moved it in your memory...

Hopefully someone will post a recent pic for you, but regardless of its condition you can always climb the rocks to the left. Have fun!

Yep. A single 60 is fine for the NE ridge. It's a lovely route in a great position with views of the Southern pickets and the barrier. Very moderate and casual. The shwack to/from civilization was far more harrowing for us, but we were probably not on the right 'route' for that. I think the bivy sites and large S-facing slabs below the NE ridge are gorgeous too.

Sweet! Post a TR and let us know what you think. Note Blake traversed about 25ft right after first belay to start of 2nd pitch.

Beginner rule #37:
Take your crampons OFF before you glissade!!!

I've heard starfish, but go google famous boarders and read their blogs. That will get you in the lingo game.

The block still exists in it precarious position....It needs to go and a coordinated effort to manage the displacement of this monster should happen by those who know how to do it safely.
Go for it. Just make sure there is no one anywhere near the impact area. If bolts get flattened they can be replaced or not as needed. Be careful, and remember trundling is like riding a bad motor scooter, really fun by you don't want to be seen doing it. I pitched a 250 pounder off the new crag just yesterday. BOOM!

The down-sloping landings for most big park jumps mean you can land on your back and have a decent chance of only bruise your ego. I've landed on my back and face more than once, but not going inverted as I'm not that good. Half pipe is certainly a place for board grabs, but half pipes are generally separate from the park runs. There might be an isolated short section of quarter pipe (one side of a half pipe) and that is a good place for a grab.
Also fun for your story is the fact that there are likely to be a hoard of teenage boarders and terrain park skiers sitting above the jump watching everyone who comes down and styles or lands on their back. Add to that pumping music from speakers, super baggy pants, and you're starting to get the picture. Sorry, but I can't help with the lingo, dude.
Good luck! Sounds fun. Makes me think of this song:

Fantabulous! Good thing you were acclimatized before doing Conness. With a topout around 12,400 that thing can get your sea lungs pumping.
complete north ridge stuart- rope recommendations?

You should simul most of the route, and when you do try not to have more than 30-35m between you. Otherwise rope drag is bad. The gendarme pitches are short. I'd say single 60 is fine. You don't want to retreat off the route anyway, just go up and over.
