Trip: Chair Peak - NE Buttress Date: 10/17/2010 Trip Report: The weather was too nice to stay home all weekend so I pinged my friend IW for interest in a close-by scramble or climb. We opted for Chair Peak. IW had a concert to go to tonight, so we had to start early. We got to Alpental before sunrise and my car said it was 27 degrees outside. WTF, it was barely colder than this when I climbed Chair last February! The hike up was easy. Trail was frozen with lots of hoar frost. In the bowl below the E face of Chair, we opted to scramble up the ridge just past the "Thumb Tack" and run the ridge to the base of the route. This appeared more appealing. In general it worked great, although there is some fresh snow and ice on the N side of the divide, which slowed us down. Man this place looks so different, bare ass naked with no snow. IW led the first two pitches, getting us to a tree belay above the exit to the S-shaped gully. The start of the gully has some ice already, mostly at desirable foot and handholds. View up first pitch: Some pretty verglas: We unroped at a flat spot and scrambled to the two bolts below the now-dry waterfall. I led up and left to the scragly tree. I then led up to the false summit simulclimbing. IW belaying from the bolts: After basking in the golden sunshine, we downclimbed back to the scragly tree sans rope to save time. We did a single rope rappel, then downclimbed to the flat spot, and did two more single-rope raps back to our packs. All was peachy and cool. Next part - not so much. Downclimbing down to the talus from the base of the route (we did not run the ridge on the way down), and walking down the talus blew goats. From the basin to the cars went much smoother. The pic IW says his girlfriend is not allowed to see: Summit pron: Note: I have heard that the rock fall on this route is horrendous. The only rock fall that we had issues with was scrambling down from the base of the route to the talus in the bowl. Gear Notes: Small rack. Helmets.

Now we're getting to the heart of your objections. If the distribution of spending favored your side, we wouldn't be hearing much from you, methinks. Liar. I have no problem with any organization spending money on elections when their money comes from many small contributions. Define "small"? (other than your nuts, which we know are microscopic)

and 100's of millions will be spent on the elections by liberal ad-hoc organizations, supposedly independent from campaigns... you myopic fucktard

Until I read this TR I was considering climbing this route sometime... :-(

He sailed some ships. Big fucking deal.

Fuck Columbus Day

Prole?

Great pic of an Obama supporter!

Camp site 10-20 for one night TH 5 that's 15-25. Where are you coming up with the other 50 bucks?

Not really. Your concept of immortal (yeah, we get what you mean), replacing true immortality, is a joke.

No, he's dead. Tough concept for some (atheists)

George Carlin is decomposing

Medical Alert Information about Gonorrhea Lectim The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em," and it is a terrible obamanation. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008, but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is. It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it. Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia , New Jersey , Massachusetts , Pennsylvania and Kentucky , with many more seeing the writing on the wall. Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

You buy union-built cars? I don't particularly pay attention; but last I checked Honda and Toyota both had parts made by err unions as do BMW, Porsche and Mercedes. You don't pay attention? Guess it's all lip-service then that you (and other libturds) pay to the unions. No surprise there.

You buy union-built cars?

much of shipping, cruises, etc.. is now staffed by philippinos workers. These people don't live in the US for the most part and they couldn't afford to do so on their wages. Which industry do you exactly plan on keeping in this country? This is false. The last cruise I went on the staff was largely South American and European. All of whom spoke English and were educated. Looks like j_b is showing his racist true-colors again...

Nice job Gaucho! I wish I could have joined you guys!

If you aren't, you should be. Please explain to me what you are going to do to alleviate this perceived wrong. You mean besides posting to the spray forum on a climbing-related web site?

You missed a great opportunity for alliteration in your thread title, BTW.

As opposed to you... whacking off to your favorite 1983-era photo of DLR?

Hot Carl
