So i am headed to Spokane this weekend to meet some friends looking for some climbing on Saturday in this area. I have heard some crazy things about climbing in Spokane so I hope it fun.

Oh...true, true, and by the way I offer a second on bills nomination and now the motion is up for discussion. Furthermore, I would like to thanks bill for adding a sense of reason and humor to a heated debate that really got the oregon climbing community nowhere fast.

Wow: guess I should have read more before I replied the first time. ??? Are you okay...I mean I hope you are not just blowing some random figure out your ass.

Yeah that doesn't really fly around bozeman either.

Its only funny until he makes you start crying. Bill is one of the meanest guys on this site. A real thug, you best watch out and keep your rope clean.

Correct, as seen from the campground that the access fund acquired a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the extension. Scenic Bouldering Cragging Ice Humor

Question: So I really wanted to enter a couple of photos and then I just kinda didn't have time and nor closely pay attention to the deadline; but I was wondering if I could enter one last submission?

Thats a super long TR, but a goodie. Enjoyed the Fred quotes, almost better then Borat.

That funny John. I second that, good little laugh down in my belly

finger of fate the perch Whats that third formation you are showing there??????

I'll be there may 14th-June8th

Sounds like a clownpuncher to me.

Pot doesn't make you stupid, being dropped on your head when you are a baby makes you stupid, as does huffing gas.

So what routes have been done on Hozomeen. Has the NE ridge been taken and what about the other ridges.

What a great Idea

Well, when hyalite is shut down, and you have already been to cody three times in the last month and half you begin to desire some nice granite. I guess that I am just too spoiled.

Its funny but every year right around spring break I always get that itching to stop suffering and begin, to find some nice sunny rock upon which stick my hands. I think after a while you just get tired of the weight, and the cold, but most of all the shitty driving conditions.

I am not denying that Sharma's climb is not sweet or really hard, ( a seven foot dyno) is pretty big. But he fell over and over again, and isn't one of the points of soloing is that you have to be so focused that you are not allowed to fall?

For those of you who have not seen the new issue of climbing; they gave the golden piton for soloing to Mr. Sharma, for his new 5.Hard, water solo up that arch. I can't believe that they think this is more progress then Reardon's On-sight First ascent solo in the needles. They are not even in the same category. Might as well stuck Sharma's in the bouldering section.

Kat, I believe that is a question for GOD.

F*ck, wish I could go. Need to impress upon the climbing community here the importance of pub club.

I have done somewhere in the range of 55+ WI routes this winter. That can translate into maybe 70+ pithcs of ice. But its not like I have been makring them on my calendar.

When i was in cody, wy last weekend I was speaking with Mulkey and he was telling me about a couple of the new grivel axes. One that is supposed to be the next gen mixed tool, Half carbon fiber half steel with a a similar look to the ta-koon. But that it will retail for over 300 each. Does anyone have any photos they have to be around here somewhere. Come on you greedy little bastards don't make me beat it out of you. (John does all my dirty work anyways)

John/Dave, Super sweet jorb. Wish I could have been there. Dave instead of ear plugs just drive seperate cars, it worked for me on the way to the sawtooths. Anyways.... you guys made a damn fine contribution to ice climbing community in the northwest. Cheers and I drink one to you tonight.
