  1. Mt Pilchuck! Best when it's a night time ascent to spend the night in the lookout... Casually drink wine and eat dinner while you enjoy the stunning night time vistas, both mountain and city. The real treat comes in the pre dawn hour before sunrise. Hundreds of peaks silhouette the eastern skyline and the still sleeping cities remain in darkness, hidden in the shadow of the cascades. Set the alarm for 45 minutes before sunrise, make some coffee, and watch the sun come up....good times. Jim Dockery's nice photo, stolen from CC. com gallery
  2. short video of blurry creature like thing With solid proof like this, who could not believe?
  3. An airplane flight around the local hills will delight the adventurer in all of us. Bring a camera, GPS and a fresh set of underwear.
  4. Yucca Flats, north of Vegas... really big holes!
  5. Yeah, we know...
  6. Those who know...know. Those who don't know... don't know.
  7. Me and Mrs G fell in love on a Third beach bouldering trip... good place to climb too.
  8. Dru, you going to tell us about your sasquach habit? I know you look.
  9. The Beckey/ Cinnabon route on the SW rib,right next to the left facing corner that borders the NE face of the South Early Wine Spire....Viva Cinnabon!!!
  10. I did not even notice that I have wasted my time here over 1000 times, I was going to do something special... Guess it will have to wait for 10,000.
  11. Just run it out from the grab it this way and strech part thru the tip toe part to the get the good grip part...easy! (this beta is good for seconds who might be interested in trying the upper parts of the harder climb on the left)
  12. One cloud hook, used once. One pair leather climbing boots Three cast iron skillets Big wall style banana hammock One rope, yellow, three strand boat style
  13. Today's project climb handed me my hat. Sometimes a sucessful retreat is as meaningful as a sucessful send. I took a nap in the shade to celebrate.
  14. There is a few grainy boulders outside of Skykomish, as well as a some new route possibilities along the highway east of town.
  15. All slots filled, thanks everyone!
  16. I know that there has been talk of ice farming in this board before. A search led to nowhere. any info would be appreciated.
  17. We are going to hold a class around the second week of december. I know that I have spoke to a number of you, but if anyone else is interested, PM me. Thanks.
  18. I thought this thread was going to be about me too.
  19. Better to frame in the fourth bedroom, a open loft makes the rest of the house harder to heat in the winter. French doors might be a good compromise.
  20. Like any guide that profiles 2000 routes, some typos exist, but the new routes and excelent topo photos make up for the odd typo. There is a few of my routes in there, look for anything climbed by a guy named "unknown" Plus, when you buy it, you get your very own pictures of me and Mrs. G, suitable for framing. kiss kiss!
  21. You said it!
  22. The only time the gloves come out is long routes in cold or windy weather. They keep my hands warm!
