that line looked thin and tough to protect, especially off the start.. I guess that's why it's just Free For Some. Glad to hear that there are no permanent injuries. Contact JosephH or BillCoe as they might have found your stuff, or know who did.

Careful, it's hot! Bonus points for naming the man in the picture.

Mike, you guys didn't climb this whole thing in tennis shoes did you?

delete some of those porn links that Layton sent you.

I met Steve Tift and his wife in July when they visited the Bakery I work in several times.... Steve's a really nice guy for sure.

cause they think it will get them chicks and make people stop thinking of them of scrawny nerds.... if they only knew. Truth is they'll remain nerdy, see above post for further evidence.

Washington pass has been a drive-to climbing mecca for decades, it amazes me that new routes get FAed quite regularly. Rock on Mike.

Carver, looks like someone's scrounging for Pickets beta eh?

Huh? There are already grade VI climbs in the N cascades. What are they, and why isn't Goode's NEB Grade IV?

Wow, i didn't realize wayne and josh had huge Picket trips in Back-to-BAck years. nice (re)read

Saturday Night, E.M.P. three great northwest bands will be playing a free show: Check out some songs @ www.myspace.com/crosstide (Opposite Day ) Yell at my brother who drums for The Charity Stripe.

who's driving from Bellingham (ie who wants some $$$ for fuel from me?)

I wasn't trying to get pre-trip beta from your book, i wanted to confirm the error before i posted the need for a major correction. I don't want to buy your book becuse it is aimed toward the easiest way to the top, which i don't typically need a guidebook to help with, and because you use this site to advertise for your book a lot. Following the above directions to get down from the lakes is the only time i've seen/used your book (my partner had copied the page and brought it with us). This route resulted in a wide impassible cliff band more than 200' high between the basin and the laks. See Paul Klenke's devore peak page on summitpost.org for the best way from the middle basin to the Bird/Devore lakes, or see my TR from mid august for an unapealing but doable Northern alternative to avoid these cliffs.

maybe you'll find Dallas out there, or go grab a random boulderer and get them to climb zigzag with you by saying you'll show them real climbing.

The line that got skied in early June by some members of this site? (Sky, Teleross...?)

Josh, are you saying you wont want to do all three Entiat 9ers in a day again? Lowell, very germaine quote from Gaston!

Sounds like a nice office

I'm with josh, it is a little bit like "SWM seeks belay partner, must climb 5.10 or be an underwear model"

nice adventure, I don't know what one could do differently to ensure that gear caches aren't taken, short of leaving a note sayinng "don't touch".
