I don't intend on doing this, it's purely curiosity, but, where in the state would it be possible to summit the most "Bolger top 100" peaks in one day,a nd what peaks would they be? Has anyone done more than three in a day? Any other experiences along these lines would be interesting to here about. I have my own personal opinion as to where you could hit the most in a day, but I'd like to hear yours as well.

Too bad there isn't a PDX version.

What NW climber says stuff with the following unique accent: "I'm gunna go do some suddern climbs, because duh wedder isn't so bad and duh girls are prettier den up here."

is that the Twisp river area Oval Peak? I don't have any good digital pics, but I grabbed a marmot's tail on Sahale last year... the rangers wouldn't like that too much though. oh yeah, I also saw a Pine Marten climbing a tree chasing a squirell (mmmm, snaffle eating snaffle) near Cottonwood a few years ago.

I'd say very exposed class 3. (Maybe the dragons make it more hazarous)

you only waste your own time

longest word with repeating a letter... uncopyrightable.

good thinking Klenke, best to get the ground work out of the way early on.

I completely agree, neither of those two want to understand or investigate issues, just shout and hear themselves interrupt the guests they have invited on the show.

I see all this stuff about who drinks beer and sits aorund watching TV all day and stuff, does anyone actively participate in sports other than climbing? Lift weights? Just wondering what you all do to stay in shape.

Bear meat...

I was up there myself last night... it's a tricky place when crowded. Maybe he'll be able to read some good books or boarding or just rekindle/pick up a hobby that's less phyiscal.

I was looking into the Ptarmigan climbing class in Van, Wa, and was hoping to ptalk to some ptarmigans or graduates of the class.

Thanks very much to you, and the others who helped clear this up. Yeah, in terms of technical rock and ice/glacier climbing I'm a newbie. I've got qutie a bit of backpacking and scrambling experience, just looking to take my adventuring to a different level and gain new skills. I'd check out the PDX pub club sometimes, but the 21+ I'm assuming applies to said "pub" would keep me out. I'm contemplating the mazamas class this winter, but $300! ouch.

so if there aren't little cracks and fissures in the rock face, you have to drill holes and place bolts for protection?

Ok, so this sounds stupid and obvious, and whatnot, but of well. How do you actually connect your protection to rock? (stoppers, cams, hexes, other stuff I heard but don't know what it is) I mean I understand an old fashioned Piton, drive it into a crack in the rock, connect to biner/rope or with something like an ice-screw, the name explains it, but how do you protect a pitch on a rock face?

I enjoyed it, regardless of that fact that only a vew pictures were familiar to me. It's amazing what the human body is capable of accomplishing.

thanks, that's the one

I thought there wasa thread on this forum with a funny and subtle foregin ad, featuring a young woman in a "compromising" but at first normal-looking position... am I going nuts here?

Personally I think it's a bunch of balogna.. but how about you? An y good stories?

how somone so lacking in basic human interaction abilities has enough money to buy half the countries in the world I'll never know.
