By chance are u going to clean all the dirt off the cliff from Jap Gardens to Thin Fingers...Its quite the mess! I used my shirt to slap off the dirt on 2nd Pitch of Jap Gardens just so I could finish. Godzilla was a disaster took my buddy 30 mins of knocking loose dirt off the holds so he could climb the first 3rd of the climb. If u clean the top...u should clean the bottom! Besides that Im looking forward to the link-up...Should be pretty cool when its finished.

I also saw u guys on the route... a group of 6 of us headed over and did the first 2 pitches of Jap gardens and Godzilla. That drizzel had us a little worried at first...but then again its Index. Only been rained out once in 6 years! What a great day!

Just climb Godzilla. U can place gear ina different spot every time...and u can climb it a different way each time. Every experience can be new on Godzilla...ahahhahahahahhah

University Wall goes clean.

Since I free soloed the first 25 feet up to the roof last year...do get the FA? Hahahaha

I've seen a copy of Fossil rock guide book at REI...think its $10.00....smoots should be good enough....U can reach Marlene Ford or Jim Yoder who authored the Fossil Guide...Yoder put most of the routes up in Fossil Rock Area. Look in their Vantage book for a contact (e-mail address)...Im sure they have a few copies of Fossil Rock Guide Book around...Or save some money and use the smoot book!

This route is to the far left side of Quarry area. Once u pass Thin Fingers...go up the trail about 25 yards...The rout looks all trad..only bolts are the anchors. The roof looks like fun...Looks dirty tho.

Looking for beta on a route I spotted at Index today. Its to the left of Quarry Crack...has a 25 foot slab/crack section...then u work a 15 foot roof until u hit an anchor. A friend of mine and I spotted this route last year. Went up today and saw someone had put the anchors up. Anyone know anything about it?

Anyone ever get caught climbing on Wedgewood Rock? Looks like there could be some killer boulder routes on it...But $100 fine would also be a killer!

I almost stepped on it...3 blue eggs still in it?

Not much dirt to give....It rained and rained and rained.

Hey Hey...Nothing to worry about. Ed and I went to Squamish a couple weeks ago and got rained out....Saw the pics and wanted to know if it was him...Thats the 3rd time i've seen photos posted of a friend of mine that I just happend upon.

Hey is that you ED in those pics at Vantage?

Im assuming you live in the Lake City/University District. If so those jerks hit 6 cars. They drove by throwing softball sized rocks through the back windows. On e car got hit with a lady sitting in the vehicle. Since the suspect car was moving and the passenger was tossing the rock at the same time...you can imagine the force when it hit her back window. The rock carried through the back window and actually hit the windshield. 7 inches to the left and it would have killed the lady. Seattle can blow sometimes!

How are the bolts and anchors on it? Good shape or questionable...might be out there this weekend.

I think Ive been to that crag beore...it strangely reminds me of Lake Tahoe climbing...but I could be wrong. Maybe a few climbs worth doing...Not!

Loose the beer gut!!!! i lost 20 lbs and now can climb .11's..Well I wish that was all it took but... I worked like hell to get to the 11's. Lots of falls, dedication, and climbing with people who are much better climbers than I. Dont be afraid to try something over your head (TR it a few times). Listen to others when they talk about style. They might know something you don't. Eventually you will get there. Core strength and mental dedication were my problems. As soon as I got past them I began to climb a lot better and harder grades.

I laid 120 sqare feet of brick in my back yard. Try that in a weekend. That will get ur climbing fix in. Atually ur back will hurt so much u wont want to climb....hahahaha Rain sucks!

They are nice for climbs like Godzilla 5.9 and Wings of Desire .11b. both are 30 meter climbs!

I prefer Index, But Im Avl to climb on Thurs 05/05 at 32 or 38. Send me PM. Would like to get on Rainy Day Women (32)or Culture Shock (38).

Anybody down with Index on thurs...maybe 10am-4pm? What ever u feel like climbing...just need to get out...I have gear and car. Been climbing there a while! Gabe Send me PM

Ivan please take his advise...have your wife send in a letter admitting that she in fact committed a crime..that way they can ammend the charge to add her name to it...come on man...this is the feds...they aint gonna go for it! pay the piper and shut ur pie hole!

Just pay to stay in one of the 2 camp sites in town...it helps their economy and you'll smell better when you go out to eat. Lets help keep climbers in the good graces of the townfolk.

My goal is to stop reading this pos!
