How were the festivities? Would have loved to have been there.

Phenomenal route. My 3rd attempt (first with good weather). A far more consitent line than outerspace, with comparable quality highlight pitches. Only the aesthetics of the OS headwall are tops IMHO. Dreamer = best 5.9 crag route in the state

you certainly can if you are comfortable on steep awkward offwidths. In the offwidth there is a 2x4 and 1-2 bolts. The #6 friend/camalot allows you to walk yourself on TR. You dont need a #5 friend/c4. Great route. One of the best I've done at WA Pass.

If anything like last weekend, it will be full by tonight, and stay full all weekend. You can always camp at the kayak camp on 8 mile rd, just past bridge creek campground, but don't expect much solitude. I posted a thread last week that garnered a few more tips on free campgrounds around LW among other places.

Snowboarding and internet poker (when it was legal) are two things I am/was genuinely pretty decent at. I'm an average climber and as much as it pains me, probably a below average flyfisherman. In the past I also dabbled in skateboarding and mountain biking, but not much anymore.

That bouldering photo is sweet!!

i'll be there right around 7. it is a fun bar. definitely not hipster, but the have pool and darts and nice bartenders.

Lake City Bar and Grill!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, dinobots dominate the killing scale. Not even robot unicorn stands a chance.

you might consider these (garmont vetta plus). A bit lighter than trango S and a fair bit more compact. I have em and like them so far. More boot-approach shoe hybrid than trail runner, but I think that is a good thing.

That route on salish looks awesome. I have wanted to check it out ever since Chris showed pics of it at the picnic two years ago. Roan wall also looks really good. Sounds like a great link up.

I've heard of the tieton camping, but only ever camped in the pull out on the river.

Anybody have any favorite eastside campgrounds (developed or undeveloped) they'd like to recommend? Ideally something between say as far south as yakima and as far north as plain. Looking for car camping, not necessarily anywhere near climbing, although I wouldn't mind. Cheap and free sites preferred. Ideally someplace on a river with some fishing (even if mediocre). Privacy is good. We've spent quite a bit of time at the free site near salmon la sac and are looking for someplace new and maybe a bit further east given the weekends forecast. Any ideas (PM or post)? Thanks

Anybody want to get out for a bit this afternoon. Index, aid or free. Or northbend if that is more your thing. I think I need to be back in seatle around 7.

True, true.... maybe someday that will happen... I wonder how much climbing I'd do if I lived in Marblemount...or Newhalem???????? probably not as much as the aount of meth you'd do.

I think two

According to teh interwebs, tuesday is trivia night at old pequliar

My Saturday started nearly identical to Otto's, and I suspect they were the fellows following us around. Brass Balls (burly), S. Face Jello Tower (awesome), TR Damnation (burly), Midway Direct, Lunch, Classic Crack, Twin Crack, Deception Crack, Hornblower (TR).

Seems to me that canmore would be tough to beat with it's combo of ice, rock, alpine (rockies and bugaboos) and skiing.

From UW 1. After work = Traffic. A flexible schedule can have you cragging in about an hour + approach (maybe a bit less). If you have to work until 5:00, expect 1.5 hours. 2. There is no reliable local ice climbing. For a few weeks a year you might have ice climbing within just over an hour at snoqualmie pass. Options increase a little if you drive 2.5-4 hours. Options increase a lot more if you drive 6+ hours to Lillooet B.C. Options get crazy if you drive 10+ hours to Canmore. 3. The good alpine rock and ice is basically spread from the Stuart Range (2+ hours east of seattle) north past the Canadian Boarder. Expect to drive a lot regardless of where you live if you plan to explore any significant portion of the state.

I don't know, but Myspace dinosaur is
