    I know this is a crap shoot but what the hey figured i would try.

     

    I am going to be in Leavenworth this weekend. Would love to hook up with some folks who know the ropes (so to speak ;-))in the crags there. I have only been a couple of times. I do not lead (yet) but can follow up to ...5-7-5.8 if my shoulder (torn rotator cuffs)is being good. If not too pumpy then maybe 5.9. Depends..sorry. Wish i was back at 5.10 but injuries SUCK!!

     

    I just want to climb and have fun.I need to climb. I will treat with dinner, laughs and lots of beer! :grin:

     

     

    Have a great weekend folks...winter is breathing down our necks!

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????? Who's panties are in a wad? Looks like yours are for some reason. ??

     

    I am going by his other posts and questions not just this one.

     

    No wad here.

     

    I am just trying to help them have a good fun experience according to what he has been asking.

     

    yes Buckner is a "walk" for YOU and many climbers here. It may not be for him/them.

     

    I gave him some links to decide on his own.

     

    Excuse me for posting and trying to help someone out.

     

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Yes easy summit block for the experienced NC climbers from CC.com. ;-) Not so much for someone not from WA looking for a "hike" with a fun scramble

     

    It is the getting there that can get you into a heap of trouble. You will need ice axe and crampons and KNOW how to use them. Route finding will slow you down A LOT.

     

     

    Here are some reports from the peak.

     

    This is a climb of the NF with the descent of the SW face.

    SWF

    another SWF

    IMO The only "EASY" peak in that area is Sahale.

     

     

     

    Please recommend a hike

    At the risk of uttering blasphemy, let me ask you this: Would these hikes be more rewarding--more scenic bang for the buck--than MSH? I realize MSH is iconic, etc., but the more I research, the more I like the idea of doing some other stuff.

     

    For example, an overnight trip into the Enchantments (is this unrealistic because I can't get a permit?).

     

     

    You could win the lottery for permits @ the enchantments but that is a crap shoot. Yes it is amazing there but your best bet would to be go north.

     

    Skip St Helens! Drive strait to the North Cascades. Best "bang for the buck".

     

    Cascade pass/ sahale/ hidden lakes lookout/ yellow aster butte (day hike)/Thornton peak (day hike) Sourdough mountain to elephant butte/N twin sister (great C3 scramble)/Black peak!!!

     

    too many to list, i could go on and on. You will not regret skipping out on the south. Go north and you will not regret it. The only regret you will have is not having MORE time!

     

     

    Oh and another one could be...Tuck and robin lakes in the alpine lakes wilderness. Granite peak and trico are both access fro there. Or a two day climb of Mount Daniel in the alpine lakes region.

     

    I could go on and on...I will stop typing now!

     

    Good luck choosing and have fun!!!

    ummmm, not dude...more like a dudette. Get it right...

     

    I Am relaxed...very relaxed, feelin good right about now. ;-).

     

    I know the first post was not harmless and pointing to a mistake made by the press. The second post was ignorant. So, I commented to help the ignorance.

     

    NO i did nothing to take it to spray. Just informed you the you are clueless to the facts. Sorry the facts make you think it is spray. :lmao:

     

     

    point made....

    i ignored your first post but cannot ignore your second.

     

    "the person" ???

     

    There is nothing to prevent in the future. If you did more research instead of reading news articles on it you would know there was nothing to prevent what happened.Other than both of them staying home and eating bon bons!

     

    YOU may want to read more here to educate YOURSELF about what happened. His partner Mark is a summit post member and painfully posted some of what happened up there. Heart wrenching!

     

    There were no signs he was sick until it was too late.

     

    I suggest YOU read the whole thread and learn something yourself.
