Still looking for folks to bring some firewood. If you have some in the Seattle area I can bring some up in my truck.

Its an unfortunate situation that is not made better by us poking each other in the eye over speculation as to who did it. It sucks to have your mind on the security of your stuff when you're out climbing. If you can, leave extra stuff at home. And if you see some one sketchy in the Index parking lot, you might just want to have a short conversation with them (though I suppose this might have its own risks). I think that is why retail stores generally come and say hello when you walk in the door...it lets a potential shoplifter know that there are eyes on them so they better not steal. Keep your eye out for those Craigslist yardsales with gear as marked above!

For the slideshow on Saturday night: 1. Blake showing slides of the new routes he has put up this year 2. Sol showing slides of new routes in the Enchantments 3. I have one other guy that I'm waiting to see if he'll get back to me. 4. After that we can have it open so you all can show slides if you want.

the shorter one will. and fyi Pete didn't do what he is thinking there with the crowbar with them.

So I'd like to get a rough headcount so I know how much food to bring up for Saturday night and how much beer to get. Post if you're coming and how many will be coming up with you. I don't need to know that you're not coming, thanks! Slideshow will be on Saturday night, but I'll be up on Friday night with the beer.

But nice of you to host your own party! Drop-out 2008? Is that because you're dropping out of society to start your own drag queen climbing school???

Sorry Raindawg, but Ropeup is a SERIOUS EVENT!VERY SERIOUS!!!! Besides, you meant to post this in spray anyway!

STFU ALL YOU CLOWNPUNCHING JIZZGUZZLING LIBOCRAPTARDS.

10% odds at USSM

a link please, oh great linkenator!

who here recalls the Steven's Pass Hotel (Croft named a pitch after it up at Midnight)? Apparently it rented by the hour? (and no, not the one in Goldbar on Croft Road).

wish i had brought the camera, rollercoaster chimney is so cool looking. it almost pulled jerf into it, but we weren't sure about the gear and only had small stuff. rollercoaster looks like buttlips at index, but longer and it spirals upward.

I'll ready the rocket!

This should be fixed. Credit to Timmay for quickly updating his TR mod! In case yall didn't know, Timmay has a biz called Chinook Technologies. http://www.chinooktc.com/

Trip: Midnight Rock - The Flame>Traverse Date: 9/30/2008 Trip Report: I bashed my toes on the drive up when running to the bathroom in flipflops. Went up the Flame and finished to the top via the Traverse. Hard 5.8 climbing. Wasn't sure about rap, so walked off to climbers left. Walkoff sucked. Disregard this, testing board modification. Gear Notes: Duct tape to stop toes from bleeding. Approach Notes: The trail up. Are there any spaces in this text?

KaskadskyjKozak, are you running firefox 3?

i noticed it yesterday myself! it seems to be happening only in certain browsers. I'm moving this to the news section but can you post OS/browser/browser version? thanks!

what OS/browser/browser version?

Awesome Sol and Jens! Any chance of getting a high quality scan of that topo to share here?

If you have access to large quantities (metal barrels) of libations at a discount, please PM me. I need to make the purchase. I have one tap, will most likely need to get another one of those also.

well its in Icicle Canyon. There are rocks everywhere. People inevitably go climbing on them. I just realized that this is the weekend after next! Time to start getting ready.

what has the link that your friend sent you that led you to be "good in that area"? was it this link???

and the mark of wide open permissions! -rwxrwxrwx

DUDE! I already included that group. DUH! Reread my diatribe.

i would add that the cool thing about CC.com (and sites like it) is that those who do share TRs not only share motivation, but also route beta, and some times even more importantly CURRENT conditions. It also gives a venue reports that don't merit an entry into a journal of record, or aren't a 5.14b crushfest...in short, routes that most of us can do.
