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

Sedona That list gets better if you want to drive a little farther... say 8 hours. 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?

You might not want to cash that check just yet. Cheque PM's

Cattalk enjoying his new home wall. Holds by Metolius, rifle by Colt. It's good to remember that climbers are doing their part for the cause. He's a great guy, and loved by everyone who knows him. D was my partner for years, he loves to climb and is from Snohomish. Shoot him a PM, I'm sure he would appreciate it. Link to Cattalks info

Want to buy a house? I'll throw in a couple dogs...

Fun fun fun... PM for hook up and climb!

Yes, I believe that the government should not tell me how to climb, as they should focus on more pressing matters that involve real problems. Some examples: our addiction to petrolium, wholesale rape of the oceans, the national deficit, the middle east, Dick Cheney, Elmo, plummeting edcuational standards, New Orleans, bark beetles, clean water, people going hungry, California, putting America back to work, race issues, PS3, really fat kids, AIDS, unregulated timber and mining interests, foreign trade...ect,ect, ect. What the fuck are we even talking about here? Climbing is stupid and selfish! There are a lot of thoughtful, inteligent people here (myself excluded, just look at my spelling!) Can we just enjoy the natural enviroment for five fucking minutes and focus our boredum-based anger on real grown up stuff? Climbers think that they are so fucking smart... this shit is out of control! We cannot even form a group to voice our interests to the powers that be. I'm out of here... I gotta go put America back to work.

Look close, you can see where they chopped the two bolts. Horray for ethics!!

Saw the new TGR film, pretty good, mostly standard stuff. TGR's site features sock puppets,funny as hell.

Ha! Was digging around the ESPN site and found this page that lets you watch all the Sport Center commercials... shit, some of these are classics! SPORT CENTER LINK

Does all this mean that my cams, and crampons are considered cheating? Time to grow a beard, dig out the wool and never fall again...

Cattalk will use his special forces training on all non believers.

Nice!

Nice picture of pow!!

I do not think so, the climb is not falling down!

The Drip?

This is a great TR!

Yeah sill... I heard some guy went to the canyons with just a t-shirt! His partner had to lend him a jacket! What a colorado chimp!

Taken from an email recieved this week from a friend very very far away. "these are taken in northern Mosul at about 3000'. The valley below is where King Alexander fought a huge battle with the King of Babalon."
