suckbm

you definately dont want to climb yellow jacket tower. its a pile of shit

wouldnt wanna head to the pearly gates as of sunday

you should treat your gear like your woman.....

whoever got on Zenith today was lucky. That line was looking super good. Im jealous it was taken. Thats what you get for waking up late. children of the sun was super crappy ice, too much sun. But still fun.

Went to his show in Ellensburg on Wednesday night. Great photos of the north cascades in winter.

Trip: Frenchmans Coulouee-Fugs Falls Date: 1/24/2008 Trip Report: This afternoon soloed Fugs Falls. Overall OK conditions. Good sticks but lots of running water underneath. First pitch easy. Second pitch felt WI4- but would of protected marginally. Tried to get on Arctic Grail with AlpineMonkey aka craig but the first ten feet was about to fall off as he went up so he downclimbed. Frenchmanns falls looked decent but had lots of running water behind it. Running Gear death wall not in at all. Will post a few pics later.

UW_climber aka jesse soloed the NBC and said cold, lots of spindrift, but overall good.

February can be a great time to climb routes on the north side of stuart if you can find a good weather window which can be hard especially if you have only weekends to climb

Thinking about heading there this summer and wondering a few things How hard is it to find english speaking partners for moderate+ routes? Are there any good guide books in english covering alpine routes there? Can you camp for free in chamonix? What are the main cities to fly into from seattle?

Also willing to go try something alpine or more local.

Anyone wanna go up north these days to ice climb. I can drive. Located in Ellensburg so will drive through seattle. Ive got gear and guide book.

That Sondra girl in the red jacket has got to be the hottest ice climber I have ever seen.

Pooring rain on snoqualmie pass today. Could take a few days for the ice to start forming solid again.

Ive got one and its good for wearing while climbing in cold conditions 0-15 F and is a good belay throw on for the 20-35F temps. It doesnt have the warmth that a two pound belay jacket might but often times, especially around here you dont need all of that.

that was a pretty Emo post

How come in the US it is $229 for the new style viper but in canada you can get the new style for $189. Ive seen this price at a shop in Canmore and on MEC.

anyone wanna go to smith rocks this weekend. 5.9-5.11s. leaving from ellensburg friday return sunday. erik

as of today stuart is pretty well covered in snow. it wouldnt be much fun. scree with 6-12 inches on top.

On red mm it can differ depending if from the rest near the top do you go straight up where the climbing is still sustained and with less gear or do you cut over to george and martha. going straight up is the second crux of the route

you need a laptop

Im pretty sure thats deep creek near spokane

a trail running shoe is going to be a little heavier, have more lateral support(less likely to roll the ankle), a heavier tread for better grip. Many trail shoes advertise goretex or a fancy shell material, in my opinion thats not needed.

Cascade cobbler- www.cascadecobbler.com did two pairs for me. They were quick, well done, and i even got a check back for overpaying because one pair didn't need rand work.

kinda sucks. now i can get a good waterice crampon but i gotta get something other than petzl for the alpine.

yeah getting sick definately sucks. It limited our climbing while we were down there for sure. My friend jesse even had to get a iv and spend two nights in the hospital when he got ecoli
