jake- I have a pair with android leashes that I'm considering selling. They were previously owned by Sean Courage. (See "Selected Climbs in the Cascades" by Nelson and Potterfield). Pm if interested.

carolyn- while I am not alpinfox, I would be interested in buying your rages. Or perhaps a partial sale/trade for my cobras with android leashes?

All dressed up and no place to go- I was planning on going up to Canmore from Jan. 2 thru the 7th. However, my anticipated partner bailed on me due to job concerns. If you want to make the drive up with me and partner up, that would be cool- they still have room for us in the Clubhouse in Canmore. I could leave before the 7th, too. It's only a 12 hour drive ... In the alternative, I'm free for local or other ice climbing from the 1- 8th. I could go to Banks Lake, or where-ever. So pm me. I have gear and car.

Jamin, "you're gonna be the first man to climb the Murderhorn!"

Here's a suggestion, implied: http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=100201&org=NSF

hey, I'll be out of school and otherwise just bumming around in Seattle area for this period of time. I would like to climb some ice. I am not experienced enough to be leading any hard stuff (WI 4/5) but I can certainly follow you up it ... I am willing to go to Banks lake, BC, maybe even alberta ... I have a car, ice gear, and snowshoes (2 pair). PM me - Ian

makes a good case for clearcutting

actually, hmm ... I might save them to rap off. Convince me.

John, I have 3- pm me.

Is the Valley of the Silent Men the East or West fork of Lena Creek? Either way, that sucks, because that's some beautiful forest in there ...

I can go on Friday as well ... I am in portland. No class friday.

I am interested in beacon rock on friday (tomorrow). I have a car and gear. I will send a pm.

check out condom fishing in Wapato Lake

+ free solo

just give me a break from studying ... we have many local options. I am flexible on time of day, too. I can belay you on whatever you want to lead (and clean) but I'm probably not climbing over 5.10 I have car and gear, sport and trad.

okay, let's just keep it local if anyone wants - broughton bluff, chimney rocks ... lots of options according to http://ors.alpineclub.org/AAC/crags_gds.html I am new to climbing around portland but not new to climbing ...

What does someone say to heading out from Pdx to Smith, leaving tonight at about 7 (when my last class ends), crashing at the free camp ground, climbing in the morning / aft., and coming back before night fall? I am interested in sport up to 5.10 and easier trad. alternatively a trip to beacon rock might be in order, which would come with the benefit that we could leave Friday morning. c'mon, let's climb ... pm me.

yes, the third-to-last photo is marvelous ... looks like a beautiful trip, it's on the top of my list, but probably somewhat above my ability ...

O.k., everybody. I am a law student at lewis and clark law school in Portland. I am working with the NEDC, our in house non-profit, (see NEDC.org), on submitting commentary to the Park Service et al. regarding this Olympic National Park plan. Filing commentary helps us establish standing if we decide to litigate later on an issue on which we believe the park service is violating the law. Additionally, commentary has stopped some illegal actions altogether via preliminary injunctions, for example, the logging of the Bull Run watershed. So, if you have concerns about this plan, or think it violates laws, or have some other specific critique, please share it with me and we might be able to work it into our submission. An attorney (or several) will review the commentary for relevance and accuracy before it is submitted. We are all doing this on a strictly volunteer basis, so it's all for the benefit of the park. If anyone decides to include your suggestion I can give you proper credit and cc: you the commentary when they decide to send it off. If you have spare time and enjoy researching, and a love of ONP (like I do), this is a great way for you to be heard and to influence the park in a positive way. thanks. Ian
