Sounds like a good way to lose that finger! Better than losing my ass. "It was on a Slab climb... Would've been a looooong skid down" I did the big finger dive for a bolt hanger.

My middle finger through a bolt hanger

Gato Negro Merlo 3.99 Chilean..not bad

Justin, What do you have in mind? I'm in Seattle now

Anyone game? Looks sunny next week. Maybe monday? or Tues? Wed? Thurs?

I was that "other climber" and they were very cool about it. I purchased mine in early March, and just got it about 3 weeks ago in the mail. They said they don't mail them out if you have any facial piercings though.

Climb: Leavenworth-Outerspace Date of Climb: 5/25/2004 Trip Report: I met Fern in Leavenworth morning, it was raining hard. We left on the trail for Colchuck, planning on doing NE couloir or something up there. We ran into some climbers that said it was sloshy and knee deep up on the glacier. Not fun, so we headed down and hit the local crags, then crashed in the cars. Next day we climbed outerspace, It was fun, started out a little sunny, then got windy and a little cold. Well worth the short hike in. We saw a rubber boa on the trail back, and a family of goats at the base of the crag. Fern starting the crack. This is one bad ass KID Gear Notes: Some peanut m&m's would have been bad ass.

WE WANT PHOTO'S!!!!

in Leavenworth, right on HWY 2, hard to miss.

I'm thinking of doing this next week.. I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with taking my lightweight La Sportiva Trango S boots.. Not warm/waterproof... Only other boots I have are double plastics, hard to hike in boots. I read your TR too.. You said you didn't use the rope at all. Don't you need to cross some glaciers on this route? Nice pics.

You can blame your hang overs on Cha Cha Cha

Reading scott_harpells last 30 or so posts, I don't understand why he would get banned, but I don't know what personal conflicts are taken under consideration. I guess a point taken would be, "don't hurt a moderators feelings?"

WOLANKSI Is a Badass.. Btw is that what you would call an asshat?

Thats the point... That is the only page I get there.

Man I can't believe this shit, All I did was mention cc.com whatever

Martlet, do you climb?

Sounds good... Thats my neighboorhood... Give me an email or call.. when you are there.

That is unlikely. Even with the most oppressive brainwashing techniques by parents... Most kids are more impressed by their college professors or cute boys/girls that have contrary beliefs to their creators. Unless of course the oppression includes a hand in daddys piggy bank. Sorry to get way way off thread

Maybe you should do It as a day trip with no packs first. Just so you are familiar with the route, and she gets a comfort level, knowing that she can make it. Instead of worrying the whole time that she HAS to make it since you are with a group and camping. This may relieve some of the pressure on her. Even better, she will feel like one of the experienced ppl on your trip.

Uh Oh, Sounds like I should have know about this "Monkey" Buisness B4 I agree to climb with someone! I should probably disclose the
