1) Maybe lots of people at Summit Post are stupid. I know that Klenke and Allison both go there. Yah but I go there too, which helps a bit to raise average intelligence levels. Mt. Erie beta anyone?

No way dave, it was named for an old surveyor, there's a peak in CA named for the same guy. I think it was the highest mtn in WA named for someone who actually saw the mtn.

Mt. Goode is properly pronounced "Good"

Glad you like it, the royalties have been great.

I like it Chad, but can you explain this one a little?

shouldn't we spread some litter and old tarps around the new spot first John, to make it feel like home?

nonsense

It was fantastic! Ivan missed out on the free beer and Pizza.

i'll be there at 5, i need to borrow tools! -Blake

Ewe... gross

Another agreement with John's rant on how great the Arcy Softchell Bibs are.

Work at the outdoor Center @ WWU for a while, or lead a few trips, and they will help pay for the WFR. PM users Alpinist_Andrew or Masternate32 for info and experience in this. FWIW I took a WFA class from WMI/NOLS last fall in Bellingham. It was very good.

Didn't Beckey climb with him in Alaska? I enjoyed reading about his Eiger exploits in Starlight and Storm.

Good trad nearby: Broughton bluffs (not too extensive, not much multipitch) 30 mins Beacon Rock (Very extensive, lots of multipitch) 1 hour Smith rock State Park: lots of everything 3 hours Within the PDX city limits is a small rather junky little crag known as Rocky Butte. It has a little of everything, but mostly it's close and it hosts weekly drytooling parties. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/428491/an/0/page/0#428491 Good Alpine Rock, reliable ice...... you'll be driving.

Was fun, thanks all! ;-)

Dear Dirty Hairy Llama(s), Billygoat and the rest of the reasonable barnyard animals think you guys are a couple of wankers, and look funny to boot. -Farmer Blake

8:30 is it?

is this place 21+?

Is that just the headphone outlet?

wait, wait... if you are in the business of handing out ice tools, i think it should go to me, and then i wouldn't have to borrow from you any more.

really nice pictures.

SoI just heard about googletalk, and I'm interested in trying it out. Sounds like a pretty good deal, no long distance $$$, works anywhere in the world. Anyone use it? I don't have a headset/microphone for my computer though, and was wondering if anyone has any recomendations or words of advise. thanks all. -Blake

That thing's a broomstick! bring back the SP!
