based on the pictures...I would say any of them.

Your right matt m, I left the bar and decided to log on to some cc.com bar talk. Anchors were set were they were long ago due to rope lengths being wwwwwaaay shorter than the so-called LTW "70m rope of choice" so this arguement really is mute. I find it necessary to bitch about the removal of one bolt but not the other. Bolt by crack is a atrocity that should be dealt with by person who removed first bolt. Lower down anchor should be placed in blank section of wall so when Dave Grahmn comes to send some sick new testpiece "He will have a new RAD project." okay now back to my beer drinking......................

dude, who ever painted over the jesus saves and playboy bunney should be shot. those were there many years ago and have significance to historical reality...

hey great effort...there is a nice chunk of stone there.... have you guys seen cole lately???

Don't play that game, for every moderate you name I can name twice or three times as many hard routes. Besides, there are not many more moderates than you listed above. Sure, but for every hard route you can name (and who can't?), you can probably find a point 40 feet up at which, if you built an anchor next to the crack, you'd get a "new" moderate free pitch. Does that make Index a better place to climb? Or does that accelerate the transformation of Index into the Exit 38 of US 2 ? complete bullshit retoric. just pull the anchor, step up and send or go home and eat wheaties. course, who is to say what is a "pitch"... how long of a rope constitutes one rope length up and anchor me here so to speak....natural features or where billyboy and marysue decide to leave permanent anchor???? bolting next to cracks of any size is gay anyways......perhaps lower down anchor needs to be relocated.

and both summits have been mounted. nice shots of the "crack."

Break out the shrink wrap!

WTF does "kind of" mean? I thought it was in the knitting needles, which makes it Stuart Range, mos def. Another fine job btw. Gawd I Hate my Job.

Is this where the nasty ice occasionally forms during the winter?

what about the already placed 1/4 " w/o hanger next to OW..? I vote leave it the way it is and buy/bring a big cam... Nice work craig. Man that eface is great. Your line looks very similar to where dan and i ventured. Cheers

This is the real mountains..... K.I.S.S.............

I agree with Matt P on the beckey route. If your totally green in the WAPASS area, this has all the spice that won would encounter in the WAPASS area, so the experience would mos def be devirginizing. PLUS it was my own cherry popping mountain experience in the area...years ago with MitchM...so I suppose I am jaded. Another good one is the SouthFace of Kaga Temple.

the meltdown was good fun and the girls were not all hippies!

hey the words were all blended together in the photos....and like the LSD would not let me focus...so question for you...do you all really think I did or did not know the answer already but instead created this little idea that I don't read between the lines. btw: Flowmotion summer Meltdown 2006 in Darrington kicked fuking ass....Flowmotion, critters buggin trio, kj sawka, march 4th marching band, zilla, vince herman, bshorty....and more music that rocked plus 40 acres of woods to go fear and loathing dtown style in and lots of fun shiney happy lovey people....plus one special girl from Vancouver, BC.

good fing luck....those foot holds will be tuff without shoes.

Fuk off pete. i dont care anymore. I am going to racha for tiger salad goodness.

hey man, i just looked at the pics cuz dan gave me the deets on the phone but from the words I read it seemed as you summited the main tower....did you or did you not? not that it fukin matters either way....

crimp and go up

fu u f f who wishes they f still lived in f washington

erik still sprays here..... if you want good ole spray like the ole days from cavey, army, sisu and the rest of the hood then go to the new and improved ascenionist.com Cheers and happy trails...i am finally on vacation till tuesday!

Soon we will have to fly naked. Hmmmmm, what does that mean for in flight service?

I don't think it is much different than those guys who work a route on top rope so that they can get a hard solo in. Still pretty damn impressive, since whne they do pull it off there isn't any foam just a lot of air time and dirt. THANK YOU KEN! Stupid human trix rule!

i dont know about that peter, I think ol' ron has room to talk here... its not like I am that pissed Kev...just fuking call. oh and btw pete, did you guys summit or not??...i am confused from dan's phone account vs. your tr. course I did not read the TR very carefully either....

scott, you can send this route...cheers, Ben

fair enough.
