... if pain is synonomous with progression.

Why I'm still a newbie.

I'll be there tonight if someone wants to climb

what's the latest along the icicle? I'll be there this weekend. Anyone availablt to climb Friday morning?

Nineteen below?!?! Fer real? I get the inversion, but climbin' at Smith? It's cold here, man! Well, I'm headed to L'worth for the weekend. I'll see what's fillin' in there.

I'm in Bend and would like to check conditions at Paulina Falls. Any other Bend sketch-hackers around?

the climb in our head is always harder than the climb itself. For this is why we climb.

WOW that's tempting

A climbing partner in Wenatchee said he cruised the icicle last weekend and said rainbow falls was in. Anyone else seen anything not already listed here?

rat, thanks for gettin' back. I had almost nothing better to do last February but check out those lines on a daily bases from across the lake. There appeared to be some pretty amazin' stuff up there.

So yeah... anyway, what do ya call the ice that forms on the lake side of nason ridge in the next drainage west ot the hidden lake routes? There was a bunch of routes that came in last season above the basin below the lookout. It looked like it would require a significant approach. One would probably have to ski or s snowmobile up the little wenatchee past the gate, or bushwach across the little wenatchee iself and head straight up the hill toward the base of the routes. It looked like sick stuff; several lines; very steep; and the main gully looked to be at least 2500' worth of fun. Is anyone familiar with this stiff or know anything about it?

there is ice here there has to be ice here it's gotta be it's gotta be it's gotta be true

I'm in Bend, Or and new to Oregon ice. Is there any craggin' nearby?

Last season I spent a couple weeks in early-mid February eye-ballin' some stuff that came in up lake from the Hidden Lake climbs listed in the book. There looked to be a really long line up the main gully of the next basin west of Hidden Lake. Does anyone know anything about that stuff? Has it been ticked?

I have a pair of old BD Switchblades. I'd kill to find anti-bots or the inter-changeable mono's for 'em though. Anybody now where I might find 'em?

at least 4-5 above HIdeen Lake @ Lake Wenatchee. Also some possibly unclimbed (sick) lines a few drains up valley. Access is no walk in the park, but would be worth it! Who's in?

NE Ice climber seeking someone to put in 2-3 days of ice. I curently have very little ice pro, but lots of time and nobody who wants to share a rope on ice. Some stuff is still in up the Icicle as well. SOMEBODY get back while this stuff is still in!
