Hey all, I want to take an out-of-town buddy snowshoeing around tomorrow, somewhere on Hood or nearby. I think i'm gonna be on my A/T skis, but I can rent snowshoes if need be. In lieu of recent weather, can anyone suggest a good place to go? A trail through the woods, something on Hood itself? How about going from Meadows or T-line down through White River (recent updates, Glacier concerns?) I'm interested in whatever you can suggest. -Blake

Who made some progress on their list? I climbed two of my three biggest goals... and came up with about 10 more new ones.

What park do you run? maybe all future CC functions should take place there, outside the long arm of Larry.

No, they didn't hurt. It is probably because I have superman-like calf endurance. (actually, more likely because I only climbed two routes.) Thanks for the tip, I didn't know what I was doing, but had fun and made it up anyways. (Guess that's what WI 2/3 is about) Whatever... he still owed me for a Cinnamon Roll. And now it seems like the PDX drytooling has inspired an organized Seattle Dry-tooling thing as well, very cool.

Worst thing - No snow meant more glacial shrinkage.

Rumor has it, that's the only way to go with a frozen yak.

Cool new photo of intravenous:

$225 Down jackets for $99! (It's a really light/warm piece) http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/shopp...untain+hardwear

Within in NCNP, not the state.

So I went to Beacon to climb rock in sub-freezing temps and 50mph winds. It was an adventure. Anyhow, found a piece of pro near the second tunnel that someone might want back. PM me. P.S. there are some nice looking ice lines on the mtn to the East of Beacon.

This thing's a mammal.

Yeah, each week different, but if anyone wants to go again next time it's cheap, PM me and we can carpool.

oh yeah, those. they are mine.

John and his G/f got a bunch of photos of the Wed mornin sessions at Misty Falls that myself, vw4ever, Donnv, and a few others were at. I think he can email you or post them when he gets back from vacation.

I've heard it said that it doesn't autoblock very well on small diameter ropes compared to the Reversino. works like a charm on my 8mm ropes.

prove it Dru

b-52 is lighter and doesn't get a sharp edge on it, AND handles small ropes, so you don't need to buy a reversino. Therefore, it is better.

Atlas gloves.

Kioti, see PMs ok?

Mt. Hood meadows has night skiing for $5 on wed. even if conditions are not great, its practically free. Anyone want to join me for skiing or boarding? (plus rideshare)

Anyone out there climb 'Zero Tolerance' at the Cirque on Mt. Erie? .10b sport climb that feels like the essence of bouldery to me.. sequency, steep, tricky big moves. Billygoat and I turned it into a project last May.

I've been climbing for less time than just about anyone on this board, but I think CBS is saying that everyone should listen to me anyway.

Miniwanker -> Kiwiwanker.... nice job whomever.

I like how the close-up on the bottom makes it look like an enormous alien.
