Approach shoes. They will get wet but snow is minimal right now.

We gotta make a habit out of it Bill! Good times indeed! Also: Does anyone want to climb this afternoon? 2 pm on today! Call me if interested (I won't be online that long): 541-231-2062.

Mac and I are headed out at least one of the two days this weekend somewhere local... might drytool one day and rock climb the other. Give me a call and we can hook something up. Anybody else stuck in town for the holiday but wants to climb is welcome... holla!

See you out there!

Girlfriend. Oh wait... if she goes I'm the pack animal

Pentax makes a 5.0 megapixel that is waterproof now. Very nice IMO.

Happened again this year. Leave your dog at home or in the car.

Rock climb this Thursday June 30th at Rocky. 5:30 pm till pump. Call me if you are coming: 541-231-2062. 3 people so far...

For those of you thinking about Stuart North Ridge... snow cover on upper North Ridge as of Tuesday 21st: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=11303&size=big&sort=1&cat=500 If you look close you can see snow still present on the slab with crack. Hope this helps!

Yup.. they can't read the gas grades so they don't qualify for employment

9.5 cents per gallon over the next four years! Combine that with 60 dollars a barrel crude and top it off with the fact that you still get to pump it yourself

Not after this Friday when WA's new gas tax goes into effect... can you say "cheaper"?

Damn it! Couldn't you have waited for me? I want to do the arete bad! Good work d00d! Keep ticking 'em off! The only pic I have of Ice Cliff Arete (doesn't do it justice): http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=11296&size=big&sort=1&cat=500

Yeah... really:

No ergo... yet! It was dark when we went by so their is a good chance we just didn't see it... If anyone does find a Quark Ergo please let me know! Details in the lost and found thread...

Those are mine from my first GP neutrino biner retrieval trip... Should packed them out but weight concerns dictated otherwise. If somebody is looking for a pair of SMC crampons...

Nonsense! Best trip send off I've had in awhile! Great meeting you two also!

Idaho was dry If it rains go drytooling bob!

Sorry for the belated response... I left for Idaho the day I got back from GP and just got home. Great TR Craig! Pics as requested: Ice cliff/GP overview: GP 2nd pitch: GP 2nd pitch sunshine! Windshirt? Or climbing top? New route exploration… flake of death summer version (winter version here): GP proper (rock fall variation line… climbers left of Nelson’s line): Upper belay ledge: Top of pillar:

Hook it up

Anybody who wants to climb (sport, trad, drytool) any day this week give me a shout! I'd like to keep the streak going so call me up! John 541-231-2062

Got it! This website rocks!

Navigator Wall pics/condition comments? TIA

Sherpa is still in as of yesterday. Make it a point to scope the descent before you actually do it but in a nutshell after the shrund crossing go skiers left until able to skirt underneath some dry glacier aiming for some scree. On the other side of the scree head straight down a snow couloir... snow almost all the way and you avoid a rap. N ridge info: lots of snow still on upper ridge; the slab with crack pitch still had snow on it as well as the gendarme. I might be able to post some pics later today.
