  1. Penguin Smack I got 501 feet.
  2. What was the meaning of the native American name given to Mt. Baker, and what was that name?
  3. "Bucking the brush, that's my pleasure" Jasper Pass. OK, so I cheated and used Google. This book does sound interesting though.
  4. I have a Mamiya ZE-2 with 3 Mimaya-Sekor lenses: 1. 28-50mm 2. 50mm 3. 70-150mm Also a couple of flash units 1. Some old side flash brand name "kako" 2. a newer flash, brand name "Achiever" model 321AZ Also comes with a few other things (filters, camera straps, etc). Also, a very nice camera bag made by Tundra. This bag alone is worth more than I am asking. Camera history (what I know of): Camera was bought at a small town thrift shop. I have no idea if it works, though it appears to be in perfect condition. I haven't had time to test it myself. I'm not shipping this, so you'll have to come to Seattle to pick it up. PM me if you'd like to buy or take a look. $20.00 firm
  5. Panorama stretching from Cat Peak to west of Olympus (includes the whole Bailey Range).
  6. On the first day of my summer vacation. I woke up. Then I went downtown. To look for a job. Then I hung out at the drug store. Cool pics!
  7. Have you seen my Cascade Jewels?
  8. I see you're planning a summit bivy . I've been pouring over NASA photos of this bad boy, and I think it go free in a single day with a sit start via Layton's Couloir (aka the Layton avalanche trap). I'd like to nominate my first born for this expedition, as I'll likely be too tired.
  9. Climb: Mt. Carrie Attempt-The Catwalk Date of Climb: 11/27/2004 Trip Report: My little brother and I clipped bolts at the Elwah on Friday, and on Saturday we hiked up to climb Mt. Carrie. We got a later start then we wanted to, and didn't get to the trailhead til 7:30. We followed the Soleduck up to Heart Lake, hitting snow at around 2600 feet. Oscar fell into a creek on the way up, his first of many aquatic explorations on this trip. Skys were blue, but when we hit the High Divide, Olympus was socked in. After about ten minutes, it opened up. We continued on the ridge, around the base of Cat Peak and onto The Catwalk. Cat Peak: By the time we reached the end of The Catwalk, it was already getting late (2:30). Damn lollygaggers! Mt. Carrie from the end of The Catwalk: The Bailey Range: It was hard to turn around at this point, but there are only so many hours of day light. We hiked up the ridge over The Catwalk, eventually dropping back down and rejoining the trail. We reached the end of The Catwalk and brewed up some tea and watched the sunset: And the moon rise: We still had over 10 miles to hike out, but by the light of the moon and our headlamps down in the forest we made it back to the car by 9:20. I did suffer a mild case of dehydration, and ate my fill of snow till we reached Heart Lake. It was an awesome day out in the snow, even with being shut down as far as a summit. More pics at: http://www.hammertec.net/index.php?set_a....php&page=1 Gear Notes: Don't need snowshoes yet, Oscar should have brought an iceaxe. Crampons would have been a nice to have to give us more options for ascent/descent. Approach Notes: Snow level was at 2600 ft. Nice crisp, powdery snow the whole trip.
  10. Notice the Cafepress T-shirts for sale on this site. Are we sure this isn't Micheal Layton?
  11. Thats the spirit. If anyone happens to be in Beaver, Washington, our clan will have an open space at the table. Happy thanksgiving everyone.
  12. "If only these deer had longer legs!"
  13. Left handed, eh?
  14. BODY MASSAGE!
  15. Both the Poulsbo and Renton crags are in the new Puget Sound Crags guidebook that will be coming out some time in the January to March 2005 time frame. There is also a super secret climbing area within Seattle city limits that will be revealed! Get get on it!
  16. If it isn't already well known, the search function (at least for me) isn't working. When I search for key words I know exist, I'm getting zero results.
  17. Cool. Do you have this in a higher res?
  18. Is that pen and ink, or woodcut?
  19. It's funny you should mention this. I actually live under a volcanoe!
  20. Yes, I am. Amoung other things.
  21. Dood, sorry about those 400 PMs. I was bored.
  22. Cool. I took my son bouldering over at Schurman Rock on Sunday. A great place for a 3 year old to learn how to free solo
  23. Can you prove that man has actually set foot on the moon? It's all a big hoax!
  24. You stopped wearing yours?
  25. So, like, then what happened?
