  3. cheers bill....going to climb astroman this weekend, made me think of a old story you told me.
  4. go climb the wig......
  5. Ice in the first week of October? Who are you kidding John? Make sure you bring the bear spray.....Hope you have fun, say Hi to Mulkey for me and enjoy Carter Mtn.
  6. retro bolting is when you you add bolts to a route that didn't have bolts in those places before. Chris and Tyler would be stoked that wolf got climbed.
  7. Your term retrobolted is incorrect. The shitty bolts have been replaced with new ones. I don't think tyler added any new bolts, he replaced old ones that were death traps.
  8. Looking for partners who know the area and can at least follow up to 5.11. I am looking for solid partners, for all winter cragging.
  9. the drips on sloan are going down this winter....
  10. hylite was sick...it was super fat and the snow fall was shit
  11. who all is attending the PDX ice festival (minus the ice) I am excited to test the new fusions on the plastic and drink some beer.. come get some
  12. I would like to climb at Beacon on Wednesday. Anyone want to rope up....I just lost my rope and rack in a fire....but can belay safe and lead up through 5.11 trad. send me a PM.
  13. GCC time!!!!!
  14. give you an idea what these boys did, the summit left of baron is the fang and is 600 feet, the north ridge is 1200+ ft with 2/3rds of the pitches 5.9 or harder. For those of you that have climbed sunrise book, imagine lots of that "5.9". Way to go guys, how were the anchors? any bolts?
  15. did you do it in a day? Think that is the 3rd or 4th ascent according to dowdel. You guys must have more pictures than that...come on hand them over. I want to see photos of the upper chimney pitches. There has to be more of a story to this excursion, visor? That thing doesn't get a drop of sun until 4:30pm. Thats cool that you pulled it off, took dowdel several summers and many partners to get it done. There is a 5.9 that follows the prominent corner system to the right of Destroying angel.
  16. nice....you sign my summit register? There are some better lines on the east face that have more 5.8 and 5.9 climbing on them. The lawdogs lamment is the sickness.
  17. that route is a stupid piece. If it were in the sawtooths, tetons, winds,beartooths, ect..... it would be a NO star route. I would not recomend that people climb this route, a route cannot be a "classic" and only have 70 feet of good crack. The descent is going to get someone killed, rapping off a single four inch slung root. Come on WA climbers bring a drill up there and put in some real anchors this anit no wilderness and it anit no party. The lower pitchs are so manky.....not worth your time and burdo don't know dick about shit when classic is concerned. Yes I know what I am talking/typing about I have been on a summer alpine trip since July.
  18. anyone know anyone headed west from montana in the near future? do they want a car companion? if so please feel free to call me 503-550-3373. I just finished a trip and am trying to get back home without using the greyhound. mods can move if they want to put in the partners section.
  19. one article just is not enough....even though I told myself I wouldn't read a second or a third I did.

    the hood forum is so needed....the bullshit about south side updates always kills any real new topics. hood is climbed far more often and sees many more requests for information and conditions and TR than any other mountain or area on this site, if that doesn't make sense , but having several for WA does, than I guess I am the one that is clueless.
  22. found out today that I passed my last two CPA exams.....amazing what you accomplish even when is seems so impossible at times. now all I have to do is work a 1000 hours of audit for the corporate man. time to roast a victory J. thanks for all the support. bryan
  23. the fling by MSR....they say two people but I have had three guys in it in the snow and rain and it is cozy and for three peps its under a lbs a person. Dude i like this thing for just about everything except BIG storms.
  24. still looking for real wild country wire kits??????
