WOOHOO! gotta love the Bugs! maybe some day I will get my Bugs pics downloaded off my camera...

bon jour! welcome to Seattle! I have been climbing in France a few times and absolutely love it there! not just for the climbing but also the people, the culture, the scenery and just the whole country in general. I hope you enjoy your time in the States and have a great sunny bouldering trip!

did you answer this already and I miss it, who fell first? how were you pulled back into the crevase after you were past it? why wasnt the third able to catch the second before they hit bottom? (thats a long fall!) good to hear that you all fared well! :-)

any dates set? I would be interested in the 31st and 1st. how many others are interested? cheers, Brian :-)

I will be skiing at the Mt Baker Ski Area for most of the week between the 22nd-29th. the Area is closed on Christmas and I would love to hit the backcountry that day if I can find a partner. I could also do some other days during that week too but Christmas would be the best day or adding another day to that one and doing an overnighter. if you are interested hit me up! cheers, Brian :-)

if you are still looking for partners I am up in the Mt Baker area from the 22nd-29th. in particular I am looking for partners to climb/ski something on Christmas when the resort is closed. general bc or maybe an overnighter on Mt Baker? let me know if you want to come up north. cheers, Brian :-)

wow, sure looks different in winter from summer! (duh)

looks like fun, I love cat skiing!

crowds?! you're kidding right?

does anyone want to hit the gym after work? I can make it anytime after 5:30. PM me, post, whatever... cheers, Brian :-)

I have done the route in summer, but I couldnt tell you a thing about it in winter. it was scarry good fun when we did it! rockfall cutting the rope, partner getting sick, taking the wrong variation, long runouts on crappy pro...good times! LOL

thanks for the update Blake!

Tom, Damn, all those sound tempting! and I had just decided that Fri & Sat would be enough for me up at WA Pass! what kind of shape is the Price Gl in? of the routes that you listed which do you want to do the most? tell me more about it, I dont have my guide books with me. Justin, what did you have in mind to climb? I have been leading 5.9's in Leavenworth and would really like to do something around that rating up at WP. if you are interested in the same things that I am up at the Pass maybe I will just climb there Fri/Sat. I hate it when I have too many choices, but what good choices they are! keep in touch! cheers, Brian :-)

Justin I have Fri-Sun off and looking to climb. are you limited to Fri-Sat? I still might be interested if I can find someone else to come up to WA Pass on Sun. I will keep you posted. cheers! :-)

I have never been to the Fee Demo Wall, whats there? what do you plan on climbing? what time are you thinking about leaving?

I have a full-body kids harness you can borrow. I dont remember the minimun size for the thing but its made for kids and is very adjustable so it should work for a 6yo. email me if you are interested. cheers, Brian :-)

good job on the Mountain! nice TR and pics too! :-)

click for 11MB original hell no! the last one that was only 4MB took forever to load and I gave up on it! LOL did you see the latest conditions report from up there? snow and cold! looks like we got out of there just in time! :-)

anyone heading out this wednesday?

Holy Crap! you made it up the NF in a little over 2 hours to the shoulder and we spent 20+ on it this winter (counting the descent) and never made the top of the face! LOL great job on the climb and TR! :-)

nice. very nice. :-)

thanks for all the beta! heading up there for the first time in a couple of weeks, cant wait!

WOOHOO! thanks for the stoke, heading there later this month! what route at the McTech Arete area did you do? did you have to use two ropes for the rapels or would one work? did you ever figure out a way to rapel the Buckingham route without getting ropes stuck? thanks for the great pics and trip report.

thanks dude! I will try to make it but I am getting a late start on work today so I am not sure. hope to see you there!
