Howdy I'm on a science team from UW. We're going to be studying Taylor Glacier down in Antarctica soon (leaving the 21st). We're looking for 3-4 old climbing ropes to help out with placing instrutments in a cliff face. If you have an extra one that's not being used to tie up your dog, girlfriend or oversize bouldering pad to your car, we'd really appreciate you "donation in the name of science" or another worthy cause! Cheers

I'm going to be in Spokane till sunday the 21st and was looking for partners to climb with. Deep Creek, Post Falls, Metaline Falls...Tum Tum Canyon, it's all good. I have more free time during the week. Bouldering, gear, sport, whatever you like. Grades: upto 5.12 sport, 5.10gear. Cheers

Hey- I just wanted to see if anyone was heading back from squamish this weekend (9-14) and had room in their car for an extra person, crash pad, etc? Gas money included, tax deductible donations to your favorite charity, free donuts...a once in a lifetime offer. Final destination is Seattle. Just send a pm letting me know where to find you and when, if this would work out for anyone. Cheers.

oooh- the trickery and deceit that runs through the squamish climbing circle- can't trust any of my new climbing "friends". But luckily, for me that is, I took some collateral that brings 'em back and further negotians occur. Actually I've been having some fun coming up potential booby traps...just to entertain myself in lab. The opening of the tent door that pulls the string across the knife, cutting it and releasing the deadfall log above...or just the standard, open the tent door to get a vigourous blast of pepper spray in the face. All fantasy of course, i'm sure it will be fine, hopefully. Murray was kind enough to let me know that stashing gear at Vahalla Pure is an option. Anyhoo, it will be a great vacation and I'm looking forward to getting my butt kicked on area classics.

One route I really want to do Angel's Crest, I've heard some good recommendations about it and you get to the top of the chief, not a bad deal. Others...Split pillar, shaved bum, classics of course. Actually, I've only been to squamish once and did Rock On so pretty much anything sounds good. I'm going to post a message on the board up there, so that'll say where I'm staying at. My name's Erin. See ya up there.

With all these theives in Squamish, what's a girl to do? I'm headed up there for a month starting on friday and could use some advice on how to keep my gear for the whole trip. Also any possible booby trap ideas for keeping my tent safe would be entertaining. I dont' have a car so i'll just have a tent, or a place to stash, etc. Any ideas on which campgrounds are the best protected? Last big trip I was on, all my gear got ripped off when I was in the city, so I can't afford a repeat session. Oh yea- since I'm headed up there alone, I'll be lookin for partners. I'll be bringin all my gear for sport, trad and bouldering, too much crap to carry, etc... I climb v5ish, lead 5.11sport, 5.10 trad...can follow harder...so if you're up in squamish...drop me a line. cheers, erin
