1. aiders and a fifi hook will make the bolt ladder easy 2. pretty sure you need 2 60m ropes for the rappel 3. aiders & a fifi hook; don't bother with jumars

yeah, cha cha cha, especially the downtown location...get the relleno burrito. it won't make you sick either.

those boots aren't adequate. your feet will get cold and wet. rent some plastic boots. I never had any trouble with blisters in plastics but I've known people who got severe blisters and even chafing on their shins wearing them

I saw Donny Baker at teh libary last night, swear to God man.

autobahn by kraftwerk...or europe endless...or computer love...music of yesteryear that still feels like the future

I'll just second what jlag said. I was up in Jefferson Park yesterday and the schrund is monstrous-looking.

I'll say. Glad I got most of my hard living out of the way before I turned 18.

it's more like a triumvirate, maybe? who's the caesar of beacon?

I was just kidding about the double set of camalots, sorry. Nice job!

oh you didn't hear? they shotcreted thermogenesis.

everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

hmmm...sasquatch's fleece mitt liner?

The easiest way to get to the top of the summit block as I recall is all the way to the right, like the SE corner maybe? It's much easier than 5.6, more like 4.10b. I think it takes smaller stoppers, don't remember using anything very big, except a large hex for a belay anchor at the bottom. Of course my memory isn't very good. Take a double set of camalots and you'll be fine.

what's up will - no, plans have changed. need to stay closer to town this weekend.

Anyone been up Unicorn Peak recently?

Washington conditions are perfect right now - go for it. Middle Sister via the Hayden Glacier (east side) is nice. Use the Pole Creek TH - not sure if it the road's clear up there now.

nice job!

best trip report ever!!!

I don't think it sounds like a bad thing either. It might be a good idea to wait until it's published before criticizing it...?

This reminds me of the ludicrous account which he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young Gentleman of good family. 'Sir, when I heard of him last, he was running about town shooting cats.' And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favorite cat, and said, 'But Hodge shan't be shot; no, no, Hodge shall not be shot.'

you could call the ranger in Sweet Home...541-367-5168.

c'mon, let's hear some free climbing stories!

is the climber talking the most about getting action the one having the most fun...?
