Ok I'll bid on the McMillian Spires photo. $175. I've had things framed before, so I know these prices are starting low....

For someone just starting out who is obsessed with the mountains...sounds like it could be a dream job.

Ha...there is a thread on Backpackinglight.com where @Kili2016 (and others) have posted as well (mostly negative posts it appears from a quick perusal, with a few positive or at least not negative sprinkled in). Not saying anything about Bear Paw...no experience with them. The truth is usually some details are left out (but not always), so again, no idea. It does appear that @Kili2016 has copy and pasted his rant above there and here, and who knows where else.

Going to be closing down suggestions and creating a poll soon!

I ended up with around 200 miles of trail and back country, and around 56,000 ft of elevation gain from a few more than 12 peak scrambles I did with the dog this year! Looking forward to doing more in 2023....I know some of you probably log way more than this, but considering all the other things I was able to do this year (I started cycling a lot in August, I think I put 1800 miles on the bikes). Was a good year!

Hello, cascadeclimbers.com I hope you are doing well with managing your websiteAnd I Know How much it is time-consuming to write a good blog post for your website but Did you know you can automate your website with a robot?You can write a blog post automatically without writing a single paragraph. For example, let's say you want to write a blog about Art.In the software write ( write me content about The best Art ideas for 2023)Done, the robot gives you an entire blog post, and it is plagiarism-freeAnd you can try it here for free: <redacted> I hope you enjoy it, have a nice day.

If you're into this sort of thing, I created us a group on Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/cascadeclimbers Use to motivate each other to train, get better, etc.

It was something else I did actually 😉 thank you!

We will all be dead soon!

Well Stefanie....its probably getting emails like this! Also people who, use a commas randomly.

Gotten a few of these...they want you to use AI to write content for your website. No. No thanks.

No...no I don't.

I've got this one from a few, and I was curious WTF is was so I googled and it turns out this is a super scammy company that buys run down website communities and just loads them with ads and all kinds of scammy crap. Anyone who sells to this company is selling their user based to the wolves.... super shady company.

Included a link to some website that I didn't look at. This one may be my favorite.

Just sharing some of the strange emails I get via the "Contact Us" form at the bottom of the page..../

Lets have some more suggestions for the next pubclub so I can get the poll started.

Ice climbing from a rubber raft! That is one way to up the excitement! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Looking forward to what you all are going to do in 2023...as well as what I hope to do. Anyone want to share their goals? I'm going to be doing a bunch of cycling (long gravel rides, fondos, and CX in the fall. Maybe mtb racing in the spring.). In the mountains I just want to get back up in the alpine with my dog, both in the Olympics and the Cascades. Also have a plan to climb with @JasonG.

I think though, in the mean time, the main thing is this:

That is some really interesting theories you have there. But lucky for you, you don't have to worry about it anymore since you've moved or are in the process. Count your blessings for that and wash your hands of it all. Find some happiness. Congrats on moving on from all this madness!
