Anyone know of any Goldbar Bouldering Topos out there? I've seen a couple sites with pics, but no topos.

Here is a link of several of us climbing "Phone Calls from the Dead" out at Index. 5 min videos They're about 5 megs each. I think the second clip is better (cause it's me! Hahaha) http://www.dougtaylorreptiles.com/video/Index%207-31-06%20Doug.wmv http://www.dougtaylorreptiles.com/video/Index%206-31-06%20Gabe.wmv

Someone was looking for part time work. They said they knew carpentry. If its you and you know how to build fences PM me.

Looking for a partner at Index on Sat maybe 12-5 pm. Just looking to climb, please know how to belay! Dont mind 3-somes or 4-some parties. Just wanna climb and all partners are out of town. I am willing to go to Exit 32 if its too hot. Gabe Send me a PM and Ill get a hold of U.

Just picked up my re-soles today...didn't even bother to check them out...that's how good he is! One time i needed a resole done in 3 days. Had an unexpected trip to Smith Rocks. Drove the shoes to his store, picked them up 2 days later, and wore them on the 4th day to climb. Cant get much better service than that. They do rush jobs for repeat customers if need be. A few years before that I drove my buddy to Dave Pages shop in Ballard. He left them there a week before. Shoes weren't ready on time and the craftsman ship was pretty bad. Maybe it was just that pair of shoes, but I've never gone back again. Stone gardens has a drop off and pick up service for Ramuta!

Before u buy anything there make sure you check it out real good. I noticed most the stuff priced real low, was that way for a reason. They told me they only sell new "load bearing" equipment. So dont count on finding any used cams or biners there. However they did sell me a set of ascenders that were "used." He told me they were only selling them cause the girl who bought them never used them on her trip to Rainier. I checkd them over and didnt see any wear marks on them. Pretty good deal too...$40.00 for the pair of Petzel Ascenders. He even threw in a new biner that held them together. Nice staff and decent prices. Lots of used guide books and a little library section u can sit down and read in. Over all 2 thumbs up...

The lynnwood REI doesnt have any of them...I checked them out last week. Sales guy said buy them on the internet to make sure u get the size u want.

Hopefully they are for real this year...then maybe that guy from the TV show "Taxi" can take a shower! For all you Taxi fans...if you remember...he said he wouldn't take a shower until the Seahawks won a Superbowl....30 years baby without a shower!

I guess Ill have to make a stil and make my own grain alcohol. Im sure my motorcycle will run on it! but then I'll have to grow my own corn and wheat. And then I'll need a tractor to harvest it. And the cycle goes on. Maybe I'll just move to Index and live like a hippy!

Actually working. Unlike many of you!

How about $20.00 for the two (1.5 and 2.5) plus shipping. PM me if interested. Shipping only if ur not in the Greater Seattle area. Last guy bought the pink and red. Shipping was $1.00.

Pink and Red Tricam have been sold. All the larger cams are still available.

I tried to post the pics but it didnt work. The pics are in the "latest posted pictures" I think they are under rock climbing. As U will see they are all in great condition.

Alright Ill split them up. Send me a PM with an offer.

There's a loose block at the top of Marginal Karma. Gonna try to remove it this winter when no one is around. It wont affect the grade/rating. But it will make the route safer and less spooky for those below the block.

Hey I saw you guys up there. My buddy and I went over to the Heart of the Counrty in hopes to get on something. Looked like you guys were on the only dry climb in Index. We were debating if you were on Breakfast or Marginal. From where we were standing we put our money on Breakfast. Glad you guys had fun. We spent the next 2 hours in Monroe traffic, Bothell traffic, and then Ballard traffic trying to make it to the gym. $20.00 in gas later and all I got was a little gym tendonitis!

Ok guys what did you accomplish this Summer? Did you get finish your projects? Lets here it...time to brag!

Trying to add photos.

I have 8 camp tricams for sale. They are all in excellent condition. No wear or tear on them. I just never had use for them. Slights scratches on them from being in my pack. Otherwise no wear at all. I think i used 2 of them once with no falls. Webbing on them is in excellent condition. I want to sell the set together for $100.00 US. 0.5 pink 1.0 red 1.5 brown 2.0 purple 2.5 blue 2.5 blue 3.5 white 4.0 green Hard to beat this deal. Too lazy to put them on E-bay. plus I'd rather sell them to a local Seattle climber. PM me if interested. Please dont ask me to sell them seperately...Want to sell them all together. Gabe I live in Lynnwood and will deliver them around Seattle Area, Index, Stone Gardens, or lower Everett Area.

Dont bother asking on this site...everyone will have a different opinion. The problem is the biggest mouths usually cant even climb 5.11...So just stick with those who can actually climb 5.12 or have climbed the route. If the FA gave permission to protect the route by adding 1 single bolt cause a key flake might have come off...Well I say do it. Sometimes its better just to add the bolt and not say anything after getting permission...Cause its not like any of the loud mouths will ever climb it anyways...plus they wouldn't even know if you added the bolt. PM me if you add it...Ill probably be up there and give it red-point attempt this Fall if it looks safe!

Not a bad site..needs more substance tho...maybe even a mission statement of why you call the site Climb4God. Just a thought.

Come on guys...Did you read the last line? I was just making the point that he has wasted too much of his life on this site! All in good humor of course.

I know this belongs in the Spray forum, but stay with me for a moment. I'm trying to figure out how much time Dru has spent on Cascadeclimbers since he registered on 02/08/01 So I calculated the days up till now - 1663 days Then I checked how many posts he's added - 27008 I estimated how much time he reads and then places a post (corrections and all) on average - 5 mins Then I did the math... 27008 * 5 = 135,040 minutes or 2250.66 hours or 93.7 days I figure Dru has spent 81.20 minutes a day and everyday(135,040 minutes/1663 days) for the past 5 years on this website. And I just want the last 5 minutes of my life back!

I believe CC put it in his guide page 32 route #280 "Pr R start to Phone Calls, 2 bolt holes drilled." I also remember 2 holes listed on the topo. Anyways....DC I also remember your name being on the FA for the Variation TR. Any reason it was never finished as a Full on Mixed/Bolted route? And what do you think about updating the bolts and adding the 2 bolts to the route? Ill check the route out on Thurs...Last time I checked (couple years ago) the bolts were 1/4". Anyone know if they have been updated?

Anyone know why the Phone Calls From the Dead Variation (Index - Heart of Country Area - to the Right of the start) was never finished? Cummins listed that 2 bolt holes were drilled but never filled. DC listed the Variation as a TR that was done by three people. Im curious why no one ever put the 2 bolts in: a Mixed route to the left and a sport route to the right (on knobs). Oh Yeah...what would you guys think if I added the 2 bolts to finish the variation? Do I get a FA if I do, and lead it?
