I bought this ticket thinking I might be able to make the concert, but now I cant. I'll be back up in AK before the show, i'm really bummed. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers W/ the Black Crowes The Gorge September 2nd $40 shipped and its yours.

kevin, if you read this, my cell phone is broken and I can't check my voice mail. call my house phone. shit! we'll probably have to push it back a day.

safeway currently has a box of otterpops for only 99 cents. I bought a few of them. OTTER POPS 4 LYPHE!

Here's my cat, it weighs 29 pounds

don't forget the microwave oven!

Yeah, I know. I talk a lot. Luckily I DO actually get out there and climb what I talk about I just like to know what I'm about to throw myself into.

I've heard it is still in pretty good shape. Good firm corn snow and neve. I was planning on calling White River Rangers tomorrow to see what they say.

right on, that's bad ass. BASE Jumping is one of the things I fully intend on getting involved in, in the near future.

hopefully our luck will be as good as yours when we attempt this route on Tuesday. Wish us luck.

The perfect high (the kind where you're still able to function yet are in that perfect sublime state) on a sunny day. Sipping on Moose's Tooth Fairweather IPA (an Alaskan-only brew) is nothing short of orgasmic as well.

cascades or olympics? Gotta put this in the right thread CaveApe, but it's your first post so we'll let it go. Just need more info so we know what you're referring to.

that picture of the goat is now my background. Hope you don't mind. Awesome picture.

are you guys on the emmons seeing very many Alpine Ascents International groups up there?

Let's climb. Anytime is good for me, I am just sitting at my lake house. It's either climbing or wakeboarding. I don't care what route, I've already done the DC a week or so ago. I'd be interested in the Kautz, Mowich, Emmons, Success. I don't care. Call me, I won't be able to check this forum very much. (907) 227 3291 or (360) 275-2181

back off, the pack's mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWEET shots! Those came out really nice.

wow, that's pretty neat in both perspectives!

yep, if you want the experience but don't want to fight the masses, climb in the off season. The objective is harder and there isn't a soul around to save your ass if you eff up

someone said 'leave earlier if you don't want to be held up' well...I decided to do the DC earlier last week. The team I met up with at Muir was by my side. We all were up at 10:45 and left by 11:30. A team of 9 from Stanford, CA wanted to be the first on the trail so they left a few before us. I knew they would hold us up and would slow us down...sure enough they did. They were almost to Cathedral Gap by the time we left Muir and we caught up to them at Ingraham Flats. They didn't let us pass until the mid section of the Cleaver. They ended up turning around at that point and wasted an hour of our time. If you're a slow party and you see that you are holding up a team behind you, step off the trail or give a motion to pass on the side. It isn't an ego thing. We still summited in 5 hours, but if that team hadn't of slowed us down we could have made it in well under 4.5 hours.

sounds good man, if i get a chance i'll give you a call when i'm back in town!

divot, i'd love to, but i'm still in washington DC. I'm not sure i'm going to make it up to Rainier again before I head up to Alaska but i'd sure love to.

It's weird being here in WA DC where they call a mountain a little hill that rises a hundred feet. I'll do the emmons the first week in august

nothing this week unfortunately...I'm in Washington DC until Saturday, and back on saturday night. I'd like to do the Emmons once I get back and maybe do the Dissapointment Cleaver once more with another group of kids I met from Poland at Paradise. All in all, I just wanna be on Rainier/

uhh...pickets...a few locking biners...a few. pullies, one each prussiks...two each ...not falling in a crevasse...priceless
