those are my goats. you're getting them.

I've been just as scared of falling on low angle slab as vertical or overhanging. in fact, i think more so. i mean all three could be fatal, the last two just get it over quicker.

Hi and welcome Kiira! Did you have something in mind immediately? Baker, Adams, Rainier? Someone tie in with her and help her get ready for whatever!

does anyone know when the last time Dru actually said or shared something constructive on here?

no topo but here is a description: Flyboys 18 Pitch 5.9+Parking is at the pull off for the swimming hole and parking for Prime Rib and Restless Natives. Walk 200 feet back down the road to the east, the trail will be visible on the opposite side of the road. Follow the trail up into the woods. Continue on the trail through the boulder field until you come to a Y in the trail. To the right takes you to Restless Natives and to the left will take you to Flyboys. Follow the trail to the gully where cairns take you up the gully and exit right at the largest cairn .The start of the climb is next to the tall dead tree. The hike should take about 30 minutes. The route is designed both as a walk off or a separate rap that parallels the climb. Rappel stations are visible either on the way up or when rappelling down. Belay stations have 3 bolts at the top of all pitches. Rappel stations have three bolts and two chains. Do not confuse the two. If you are climbing the route a 60 meter rope and 16 draws will suffice. At the top of the route follow the cairns to the top of the trail where it joins the walk off trail of Prime Rib. It is about 20 to 30 minutes back to the road. If you intend to rap the route a 60 meter rope with knots in the ends will deliver you to back down to the base of the route. BE ADVISED that all 60 meter raps are rope stretchers. A 70 meter rope is advisable for safer rappels. Do not take this climb lightly. This is an alpine sport route. Although all pitches are bolted this is a long and challenging route. Enjoy and please be safe!1) 5.9 9 bolts From the large snag route starts 40 feet to the right in a right facing corner.

Retreat with no pro to leave: https://gripped.com/video/watch-auers-scary-and-cringeworthy-rappel/

I don't see anything in the Wenatchee World. Marking this as "odd" for now...hopefully no bad news to come.

The fool is likely some meth'ed out dumbass. I'm going to move this to lost and found tomorrow. Sorry you got your stuff stolen. That f@#$#@$en sucks.

dang when the time is right we need to do another get together. and not in the city. some place where we can get our fingernails dirty.

Oh you’re talking about skull hallow! Lol. Too many good times.

@layton please do tell the story in detail. But leave out the parts where I’m involved. I remember girls rolling around in the dirt, someone fell off a bridge, and some degree bashfulness the next morning, but I honestly can’t remember it all too well for some reason.

Creamy. Great pictures as always brother.

Trying to understand what you are saying here....post a screen shot of what you mean! It’s gotta do that

get an electric jacket

hahaha..i'm very familiar! it is a good song.

Love it!

If you wanted to, you could be doing this for a living I'm pretty sure. Probably doesn't pay near your day job to be an outdoor photographer though.

@Hans Travis i feel you on the orange color....that was a @jon executive design call, and I've never had the energy to say anything because we have much more pressing deck chairs to rearrange on this ship

This place can do the job so much better than IG or Facebook, but obviously people have to use cc.com for it to work all we can do it try continue to try to make it better and better and build up some momentum. we are seeing a significant uptick in registrations in a time where in the yearly cycle that usually dead, so things are looking up! Quality TRs (even FA reports) continue to come in, so its not like this place is dead...it just has a slower pulse than it did. @Hans Travis would love to hear from you as to what types of things you would find valuable and make you come back to this here snake pit. We would like to make those things better so we can make a compelling to use the site and share info. it isn't about really competing with social media, but being a "better mousetrap" for sharing conditions, stories, knowledge, selling gear, meeting climbing partners, and anything else you all find valuable. if we can make the site better in that regard, we are all ears. @jon is getting close to put in a feature that you'll all be very happy about.
