was this from today? seems a little warm to be wearing the puffies. this could be a even more bizarre initiation ritual then the forced wearing of gators with no snow in sight.

The Tacoma Narrows. Excellent name for a new NBA franchise for when Tacoma becomes the center of the known universe.

there is no relationship between a strong enconomy and a good transportation system. that has been proven time and time again historically, but then history is a liberal art. yeah, lets get rid of the viaduct. maybe build some moats around our infrastructure to protect it from evil doers too.

Tacoma is poised to take over the world!

you mean the movie is gay, or did you know someone named "starwars"? i've never watched star wars that closely to see if it was a gay movie...chewie and hans solo?

better living through chemistry....it was definitely a much more exciting race this year.

like elevator good?

ya, i suppose those glaciers are melting because its getting colder thanks for the info slaphappy, sounds like it is worth a trip.

chillen like a villan

Hell yah!!!! w00t! w00t! w00t! welcome back Kurt.

its bigger than that...i know plenty of small towns in Washington that have gone up pretty dramatically in the past 5 years. seems that many of those towns must be bouyed people in CA selling their homes at insanely inflated rates and then buying in small town Washington and retiring...I know it would be hard to buy a house with the average working person's income in some of those towns.

I think we may need to require drug testing before you can post on cascadeclimbers.com next year.

just look at how Vancouver collapsed after losing the Grizzlies! Ya, it would/will suck, but I'd rather have a basic mass transportation system than a sports team if I had to choose between the two.

I don't think so. World class traffic problems do not a world class city make. I don't need a pro basketball team...what I need is a modern transit system that doesn't get stuck in traffic. Light rail is a start, but until it links the whole city up, it is just a one line train. For me rejecting the Sonics is just voting about where I want my financial interest focused on...on a transit system, not a sports team. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/278505_goodriddance22.html

Wow matt!! Sounds like quite an adventure! I definitely want to get out there with you, but when that happens lets stick to the more classic, less dirty routes I'm finally finishing this class that I waited till the last second to work on, hopefully Darrington will still be there when I finish.

i think he was just cynically noting the sense of entitlement that some people have....yet I can't help but think that all this energy coming from jay is because he feels his own sense of entitlement to live here. He is hoping for a big market correction so that he can afford a house, and then once he is in then let the fools continue on their borrowing and overspending and pricing eveyone else out of the market. I for one hope he can afford to move back here and buy a house...I'd hate to see him lost to the evil east coast!

ya, saw your picture in the gallery and am inspired to go check the middle wall out. looks like a few good climbs and some escape from the heat could be had up there.

Is is possible to set up a top rope on Keiths crack from an easier route? Has anyone done this one lately? Is it clean? Perhaps with global warming the cooler middle wall will see more traffic?

C4s are on sale too http://www.mountaingear.com/pages/produc...item/626001/N/0

congratulations luke! she have a name yet?

there apparently is some trekking pole up there on the glacier...depends when you lost it if it is your.

No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes No more falling down a wormhole that I have to pull you out Welcome back Erik. Lets go climbing.

take a look next time you're up there...it just looks like someone was practicing placing a head.

Keep it coming boys

You're hopelessly hopeless I hope so, for you
