Boundary is the classic, but what about Diego’s? Get a BCR and a fresh express. Supon's has really good thia food, so does Busara. If you want cheap beer, The Up and Up has 2 dollar pitchers of Pabst from 8pm to 11pm every day. Also, Rudy's took over the Up so you can get killer pizza deals with your beer. The Ranch Room has 2.50 pints of micro brews from 8 to 10 (or maybe its 11); On Sundays they have 1.50 micros. Last time I went there they had BB scotch ale, Mac and Jacks, Widmer brothers Hefe, Manny's, Lazy Boy IPA, and Obsidian stout. Lastly, you can’t beat drunken Russian food, Pelmeni is great!

The only thing worse than going down the Cascadian, is climbing up it, and then going back down. Have fun!

Thanks!

I was wondering if someone could point me to a good route description of Spontaneity Arête and the approach, there doesn't seem to be much out there. Any help is greatly appreciated. cheers, Jordan

Yea, sounds familiar. I went out with a couple friends to climb Buck via the King Lake Route. We only got maybe 300 feet up the bush whack when we were assailed by a whole swarm of ground bees. We got the shit stung out of us. Needless to say it was a bad, yet very funny trip. Better luck next time!

What size friends?

True, but that doesn't make it any less gay. True, but I never said that made it any less geh. yeah, my bad, point recieved! let us agree that this whole thing is gay!

This is Hilarious!

True, but that doesn't make it any less gay.

The law does seem tame. But it’s the fact that professional groups such as PMR and professional people such as Jon Jarvis are not being listened to. It seems like the fat cats up on Capitol Hill would listen to the professionals. Instead the law is being enacted by a bunch of clowns who don’t know shit about what they’re talking about. Seems backwards to me.

I suppose I should thank you for making the approach easier on a friend and I. We headed up to climb the same route on the 26th, planning to climb early the next day. Someone’s snowshoe tracks kept us from post holing every step of the way. I hope it wasn’t you who had the wack ass boot track that lead way down mountaineer’s creek to a funky tree crossing from Colchuck lake. Great job by the way!

What a load of horseshit! It seems like this law will only allow ignorant family members to sue rescue units or other groups for not successfully rescuing there loved one even though they were following the law by carrying all the necessary gear. The funny thing is that this will make it easier for idiots to lay blame on other people after they fuck themselves by getting in over their head. Oh well, all hail big brother!

Wow, that is really gay.

I was up there last weekend, what was showing of the ice actually looked ok. The rest is covered in a few feet of snow.

Ok, I am a dip shit and don't know much about this skiing stuff, my question is how exactly does an alpine lifter binding work?

Where are you coming from? If you want good top roped climbing I would recommend that you head to Mount Erie. Lots of route from beginner to advanced. Plus, on a clear day you get a great feeling of exposure while not being exposed at all.

Holy Shit, I had to change my pants after looking at those pictures of the ice. You weren't kidding with the blue balls thing!

You’re in luck then. My great Grandpa was a hunter for the Government during the great depressions. He kept a Lynx kitten as a pet and it killed there dog when it got older. Ripped out the dog’s throat, poor scruffers!

Well Tazz, I see you have come to the dark side, welcome!

Climbers are allowed on whenever. SAR teams will not continue their search untill spring when the winter snow begins to melt.

seems to me that this should change in the future. I totally agree, Dave. It's my understanding that OR units can come to WA to help us, and they are covered, but not the other way around. Mystifying... Whats up with that? During a rescue recently on mount Baker BMRC got some help from accross the boarder. Seems if Canada can help us, then we should be able to help other states!

I'm a little curious, how are avalanche conditions on this route? It looks like it could be a nightmare. NIce pics by the way.

Like most of the guys who have responded I also have mild Asthma. I can say that it has never really affected my performance at altitude. I actually feel way better when I get up higher. I climbed Rainier a while ago and didn't even need my inhaler, it was great!

Amazing pictures!

Oops, I didn't see the original. I saw the one on Summit Post and decided to put one here, I even looked first to make sure that I didn't double post. Anyways, looks cool and I hope you get some good submissions. People climb plenty of crazy things around these parts.
