...because they go down

Three twins? I never understood why this this biotch has been in the limelight. Shes the fat ugly chick riding the coat-tails of a hot friend, but in this case, I have to agree, Paris does look like a

Hey. Whats this thread about?

I chuckle every time I see a bottle of their wine. Isnt "frass" a technical term for shit?...of wood-boring beetles or something?

Hmmm. Quite clever. Sounds delicious

I drool gruel

How many do you have, arch, and are they of legal working age? knock it off, 1![1 !!!

What the fuck are you doing [i1![1 ????

Definitely TG and Maritime. I also support all things Full Sail, and the crew's IPA in particular is quite tasty. Should ask my wife, shes an IPA specialist

In the case of the PT, I dont think that there has been any info shared that couldnt be otherwise deduced by someone who can read a topo, which should include anyone considering this route. Someone said, "you can find egress through agness," and my thought was, "yeah, there is a drainage leading from the route to a populated area, and the distance from the route to the lake is shorter than it would be if other drainages were chosen. The topo for the drainage jives, so its probably doable." You still have to go out there and do it, which the vast majority of folks reading this wont. As routes are established, the word will be spread. I feel that the range of abilities of those who view this site is wide enough, that its good to share alternative options for those who may otherwise be getting in over their head. Thats what this site is all about, sharing of information. I look at TRs as inspiration and motivation to get out and do routes that I may have previously thought out of my league. I rely on the beta offered by those who have been there. Its not about cocky assholes spraying about adventures and then refusing to help others out, although it does happen here. oh and, ILS. Do you want to bang all the chicks on this site?

...and their catalog is chock full of todays hard men and women of the various outdoor activities, in action.

I hear this route for egress is quite the slog as well. I would probably choose this one as the lesser slog of the two, but would have a hard time working the logistics from Chelan given constraints that I have to negotiate. Would be a beautiful hike, though, which is no secret. Not sure what blake is getting worked up about.

As if I could be any more disappointed in the dearth of general outdoor knowledge of those employed by what is now a sad shell of the co-op it used to be. Does REI have a hard time keeping employees, and is thus compelled to hire idiots, or do they truly nolonger care about product knowledge amongst their staff? I go to REI, on occasion, to make purchases of gear that I am familiar with. I enjoy asking about said gear, and listening to the wide variety of made up bullshit when the green vest knows not what s/he is talking about. They know they should know, and are all too often too cocky to say "I dont know." Sad. I sometimes think that :pagetop:'s would make better employees

Fish on! Sucka

Im sure ill be interested in bitching about it. If we could only teleport bikes to the downey creek TH.

very carefully... and with an angled bit

Maybe see you up there. We'll be up the first week of August. Planning on making the slog out Downey. It'll be mostly road and we'll have eaten or fed all remaining grub to the :pagetop:'s

This will likely prove to be the sum total of this trip if you choose to try to surf and stay on the beach. If you dont know anyone local who can take you to the breaks where you specifically wont get your ass kicked, I would recommend not taking a board to the beach. I certainly wouldnt sleep there, and most definitly wouldnt try to enjoy a nice campfire, announcing my presence. Just some free advice from someone who knows better. But hey, have fun

If you knew who it was, and the family requested that you not tell anyone, would you? Condolences. Ive always assumed that mainly applied to the media. I cant imagine why family would specifically ask friends not to tell other friends. Im suprised the names have been kept under wraps this long. Im having a hard time coming up with a reason why I would specifically ask that the name of my dad or kid not be released to the general public. Best wishes to the family either way.

Thanks for the TR Id like to get up there this summer and your report will likely motivate me to take a closer look into a route.

Ive heard an additional 3mi on the approach and 14mi for the egress (North to South). Does anyone know different? Anyone been in the area that can report on residual sno-pack?

Just what are you implying here? That all came from memory. The following is an excellent source if you want to spend some time reading. Everything you ever wanted to know about poisn oak, but were afraid to ask. You are a wiser man than I, CBS.

Ive seen and been exposed to mostly oak, and the overwhelming majority of it is down in the gorge. Ive also seen the stuff in eastern WA, around Spokane. I havent seen it, but it seems the wenatchee area has all the right geographic/environmental factors.
