too many lonely nights... no wonder I go drinking all the time.

nice image!

yeah, he owns the house. but he is very rarely there. more of a storage unit.

nice work kids! that nface is some fine craggin... what exactly is a doulith anyways?

There is an old (out-of-print) FB guidebook circa 1976 which is orangish red and not about the north cascades. It was the Leavenworth (and Index?, others?) instruction manual.

All ages, bar for 21 and over, Kung Fu first taught by the legend Bruce Lee, Locally shot Snowboard Adventure FUN!!!!!!!!! Dj's who composed movie soundtrack, Live demonstrations Doors open at 8pm/Five Hundred Cents and an energetic movie. Course if I didn't have to Work Saturday I would head for the hills. If you're not too busy absolutely worth checking out.

nation avg for gas is now 3.01/gallon avg Gas =$4/gal (very very soon). Thats right. Fuck the monorail.

I would like to see you try. I am sitting in a truck on the AOA working on a job totally unrelated to the lame ass work you and my company are arguing about on the 3rd Runway. So HAH! you dumb ass finnish retard. That is... "R"eally "u"nderachieving"M"anic"R"etard!

blow counts in mud are trivial you dolt. fukit iam only a lowly geologist. now get back to work you pencil pushing midget!

Mmm, perhaps the sun is warming up and going to EXPLODE soon!

seriously!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH FUCK!!

rumr, dont yell at me you skandanavianshortsnortnswine, call up those geotechnical"Engineers".....I am more of a engineering Geologist.... CBS,

knotzen, I rarely say anything with a straight face. Life is entertaining and most people are so fuking serious about everything..... FYI-I am not belittling any feat, but really I find it entertaining to state the obvious, sometimes it is something many people are afraid of saying... mike, you are welcome but I must add, we met once, and that does not mean you know me. perhaps we should go cragging...down in that dreamlike place near portland. cbs, as always, you never cease to amaze me with your superior brilliance. and with that, time to go see how far the joker shoring crew has drilled now.

CBS, those tribal pad people already go into the hills. Ever heard of Rocky Mt National Park or Klem Loskit's Blue Ice area in Austria? Or pehaps you think most climbing areas are not in the hills.... Actually, I think some of the "vandalized" problems have seen repeats sans broken holds.

do you sleep much mike?

Fred et al. has been to the top (at least twice) and they used aid and rope toss with prusik to surmount the summit block. I also tried to go up this wide crack but wimped out and brought my mentor, cappellini, up to show me how to grovel up. Never been more afraid of watching someone go up and down a wide-crack feature. The #5 camalot was pretty tipsy. The bolt, I think is what, Fred used to fix the rope over to the other side for prusik ascent. Nice work on the rest though...fun climbing indeed!

Because that is what we do in America. Tear the old sheit down and replace with modern ("better") designs. Usually because technology has advanced in materials, but also because we need new projects to keep the machine running. Having a catastrophe is sometimes the only way big business can kick start a new project. Perhaps this will be the only way to fix the viaduct...when it falls down from an earthquake or on its own.

i am not a geo engineer. most engineers fit your definition rudy. I do agree tho, the geo-eng random numbers is mind boggling at times...the real world laughs at most designs but then again the new designs are prooving "safer!" now where are those figures beyotch!?!

That's right (archenemy) we need to study this more. Please send all donations to my company. We will provide more reports on what we think should be done to make this safe and unimpacting to everyone. Unfortunately, the city balked years ago when the US government offered the money to improve public transportation (ie train, subway, whatever). Atlanta snatched the offer, where as Seattle needed to further study the impacts. I think that all took place 30 or so years ago. Now, we are staring down a loaded shotgun. The viaduct is ready to collapse. Whatever the govt. decides for this challenge, you can be sure bus rider or not you will be affected traveling around Seattle. Then there is the good ole 520 bridge... WE as a city need more alternative transportation that does not rely on roads. And WE need to start now. Even if the monorail fails this time (4th times the charm i guess) and the gas tax gets shot down, our govt needs to pull there head outa their ass and start spending money appropriately.

Yes, poor money management and planning has seriously hurt a neat idea...oh well, I made money on this beast so whatever. Seattle's infrastructure is the worst little big city I have ever seen. Light rail is cool too but takes up more room in the long run. I think this project should continue so my company can conduct more geotech and environmental explorations. Also, I would love to ride the monorail from home to work. I hate busses, so until there is an alternative like the Bay area BART system, I will continue to add to the freeway mess with one more single occupant vehicle.

His name is Peter Doorish. There are many people who do this and don't even tell about their exploits. Mox does look like a cool mt of trashy bad rock. More people should go there. Then the good rocks will be less crowded.

Climbed first by Pete Doorish, yes. But it was rated much easier as there apparently was more rubble in the crack or he went around the hard part of the dihedral (looked feasible). Regardless, this is a fun route, just a very long approach. I always referred to it as the Doorish Dihedral but who cares anyways....

is this a new story or in reference to the vandal of fontainebleau years ago?

true, but as I said, I know no details other than I heard some climbers had big plans and gear stashes along the way.

Lucky, when did I spray? you are the one spraying. Furthermore, I used to go to the coulee quite often (camping, climbing and partying) but as I said before, the amount of climber abuse had disEnchanted me. I am sticking to the statement about camping there only due to this over-abuse the area has experienced. Perhaps it is time to explore new areas in the greater basaltic scabland. BTW- gys, seriously, I once saw dirtbikes below sunshine wall. was that you pre-climbing days?
