Just found out that our company is going to be working in Brasil. Anybody ever visit? Diddn't R&I do something reciently? All my magazines are put away. A google search was helpful. As CC.com is my online go to source for just about everything, I thought I'd throw it out here too. Just wanting to get some beta, thanks.

Growing up at Stevens it was all about spring time bump runs down the backside with the Lake Stevens A-team: Mike Tracy, Rodney Pope, Robbie Capell, Brent Kirk, Dan Moe and Matt Goodwell... You just have not lived until you kick the double fuckin' daffy!

Free dog Likes to climb, good on the trail. Enjoys a loving, fun home. (Convicted killer)

You know, this whole situation has been really difficult. What do you do now? We would rehome her, but now she's a killer. We would keep her, but now she's a killer. We could kill her, but now time has passed, and it gets harder every day you don't kill her. She's a happy, friendly, healthy...cat killer.

You have got to be kidding, blame snowboarders for the lack of moguls? Also, snowboards have a shorter turn radius than the old skis, not longer.

Last week while we were gone to work, my dog got in a brawl with my cat. The end result was the little guy got his neck broke. It was a real mess. I like to think of my self as a tough guy but I fuckin' really miss that little guy... a gentle little creature for sure. The dog?... I just don't know. It's just a bad scene all the way around.

Grow your own!

Prehaps my friend may be of service...

Wow, just think about all those err...dirty computer mouses and keyboards all across cyberspace. ....and to think you are reading these soiled words!!!

Ha!

why does Marty talk about himself in the 3rd person?

Do not forget the fire lookouts on Three fingers and Pilchuck.

Wahhappened? We were having such a nice talk about tingling sensations...

The crappie and bass fishing used to be excellent.

That's right bitches, TJ is for real. You don't need toes to climb 5.12 ...do you?

B, how about you show the nice people your toes.

God, there is so much rock here, so much rock.

A fun route! Lots of varied climbing, consider carrying/hauling the leaders pack on the 11b pitch, the 10 pitch is short and stout. Do not under estimate the upper part of the route. I wandered out onto some deceptively sustained face climbing and enjoyed a very personal moment. Also, do not untie from the rope until it's the top. We figured out the approach before hand, went light made it car to car in 11:45, 6 hours on the route. Edit: oh yeah, tape gloves were nice, but I'm kinda clumsy in the wide cracks.

Happy Holidays from the Granite family, here's to another year on the planet!

Yeah, welcome home!

Ha!...good times had by some!

The mountain loop highway outside of Granite Falls has many snowy trails and roads to hike or snowshoe on.

Yosemite Indian creek Moab SLC area Joes Valley Ibex Mt.Lemmon Cochise Sequoia Tahoe Mammoth area BTW... how long does it take to get to Leavenworth from Seattle these days?
