Damn!

Holy moly pictures I love it!!!

These things are unobtanium. There were people scrounging for them on this site like almost 20 years ago.

Nice Brian looks fun!

Rip Teemo. Quality as always gentlemen! What a trip!

Sorry it didn’t happen for you brother, and I hope you can get to it in better conditions. But a nice hike regardless.

https://www.climbing.com/culture/ethan-morf-youngest-climber-free-el-capitan-in-a-day this is hilarious and awesome. I mean that’s how I learn how to do almost everything. Just fire up YouTube and watch a couple videos and get after it.

Wow! Thank you for sharing all your thoughts and experience. Great pictures as well. Glad everyone is ok and I’m sure the whole party learned a lot from the experience.

Too many clouds for an ol feller to choose

Back in my day we would have just spit on it and continued up the mountain. Hawk tuah! Kids these days just don’t want to work. Hand me my dentures I’ll show ya.

Wayne would know better than most! Congrats regardless, it’s hard to find new territory these days!

It’s not for everyone but appreciate those who share in non-corporate media! How much do you think OnX paid REI for that site? Gotta recoup.

Trip: Kendall peak - Trail Trip Date: 06/23/2025 Trip Report: Kiba and I went up Kendall yesterday. Had the summit all to ourselves the whole time, lots of hikers out but I guess they were all just going to the catwalk. IMG_7412.mov Gear Notes: Dig Approach Notes: Trail

Check out the sweet granite stash in Renton. Tons of plumb lines waiting to be put up if you’re hard enough.

You may be right. Are we not men? We are DEVO.

Thanks for the company and I’m sorry about your ear which endured all my tales of my misadventures. Dang summit still eludes me, but I’m at peace with that. My crampons were not cooperating and it was too late once I figured them out. it was really nice spending time up there with you. Since those mountains are my home turf I will probably make another attempt some time. Goes to show how conditions can make it a cakewalk versus a more serious endeavor with a little temperature variation. Onward to more adventure.

I think anyone that has climbed technical territory for a long while has been in this situation. I know some of you have climbed much more than me. You end up trusting a single suspect anchor because it is all you have. So far, if you’re reading this, we have lived. And as those anchors go, some are more obviously desperate than others. Yeah in ideal conditions always back it up. Otherwise you have my best wishes. RIP.

I just want them to arrest and incarcerate people who cut in line during my commute home from work. String them up, tar and feathers.

She must have used AI and didn’t even bother to read what it gave her before publishing.

Stellar wordsmithing! 😂 https://amp.bellinghamherald.com/news/state/washington/article307907125.html dang, Helena!
