Thanks for the beta NC. Tuesday will probably be a choice day to hit it, but plans aren't shaping up. May have to switch to Sunday and risk getting shut down. . .

I've worked up a stoke to try this route Tuesday, but don't have the ballz/skill yet for the current conditions. Two possible guns have bailed on me for other projects - anyone else interested? Shoot me a PM . . .

I'm thinking about Chair - maybe N. face - on Tuesday. It ain't Banff (and I'm no hardman), but it could be a fun outing w/ the thin snow/ice conditions. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. . .

Thanks for throwing a TR together, Lee! My climbing experience up to last weekend had been pretty much rock and snow slogs; this was my first mixed media alpine experience and I had blast. So (as Lee said) it wasn't super technical, but the long day and climbing in darkness definitely added to the challenge. As has also been mentioned, this would've been a very different experience were it not for Jay's knowledge of the exit route. to Leejams and JayB - great partners make all the difference. Lee deserves a medal for taking over the wheel about 4am on the drive home

It'll be raining on the westside tomorrow - wait til Sunday and show JayB and I how it's done @ Tieton . . .

I'm planning to meet up with a couple folks at The Bend area of Tieton this Sunday (11/7). Yeah, it's a long drive for a day of climbing, but I've got commitments in town on Saturday. I have moderate routes in mind (.8 to maybe a .10a grovel), but I'll belay (and possibly second) harder routes if that's your thing. I'm thinking to leave Seattle somewhere around 5-6am, and have room for up to three more in the car. It'd be great to have company to ease the drive and share the gas bill. PM me if you're interested . . .
