  1. I definitly think you should change your name to somehing courageous like Dr.Lionheart or maybe something that shows the softer side of you like Dr.Likeslongwalksonthebeachandteaparties.

    I hear Ben's chiro is frikkin crazy, downright MADNESS!!

     

    Mike Layton is a very good chiropractor, I am not even getting paid to write this. He is the only person I would trust with my back.

  2. Mike, take Ingalls into Ccrystal creek drainage. It is GORGEOUS!!! My friend and I climbed the south face of Crystal Creek Tower the other week it was really cool & scary!!!! White face, pretty. YEah, perfect places to set up camp too, call me and I'll give you directions to this cave we stayed in one night and another night stayed in a pretty alpine meadow surrounded by a cirque of towers, with water available. Just serene and perfect, dont have ta worry about gettin in trouble with fires either.

    Have fun you two little lovebirds!!!!!!

  3. Moving from here but wanted to say that Bellingham has been a great town, came homeless, jobless, friendless and Russian dumpling-less. Nice place, just wanted to say thanks to the folks & climbers that live here (even though I only found one good partner here) thanks for making this a nice summer! Mike, you are right, this place kicks ass!!

    Buh bye

    Aren't you two a long ways from home? What inspired you to schwack up there?

     

    I live in Bellingham! & found the elusive & cryptic Mike Layton ciggy butt.

     

    The shwack sucked but was much better on the way out, the blueberries were a bit too sour to make you happy again whilst being so sad on the approach.

    The climb was very fun, cool rock, it would be way nice to have a trail through that crap. Blake- we just crossed on logs or took off shoes.

  5. Also, as long as I'm on a soapbox, I think that people tend to downgrade climbs on the lower end, which causes a lot of ill will and angst amongst gumbies because they figure "if the 10s I thought I had done are really just 8s or 9s, I'll never improve." When in fact climbing 12 isn't some ridiculously huge athletic achievement - if you can climb 10 sport, you can do 12, too. I think it's just hard to tell the difference between a sport 8,9 or low 10 if you've been climbing awhile, so we all tend to downgrade without really knowing it. OK. Done ranting.

    who cares

  6. Unfortunatly this just happened to me 3 1/2 weeks ago too. I went to an orthopedist because my lowerleg & foot swelled and then had yellow splothes , kinda like sherbert ice cream with purple blueberry stains on it too. the whole back of the leg was completly bruised too.

    Anyway, the doc said that it was a bad bone contusion, and if you don't see scab-like spots where it hit the hardest then you are okay. But I still have a very big, unattractive bump on the bone of my shin. Ice it, and he said keep the running down to only 30 min a day., I just wrap it up tight up to the knee so the blood goes up, but not too tight around the knee artery thing.

    I have a question: Can I get surgery on my shin if that bone bump doesn't go away? I am just considering growing really hairy legs to hide it.

  7. A friend, escolar, and I did this route last Friday and it pretty much sucks. period. We were climbing and wondering when we were actually going to get to the good part the whole way, the instructions made it sound better. The pitches were short, the rock, for Wa pass, was relatively dirty and there wasn't those long fun cracks so you never get into it. All in all it is a pretty dumb climb with redemption being the most amazing scenic scape and very pleasant weather.

  8. Climb: Cannon Mtn Couloir-Ski- No Shirt, No Skins, No Problem

     

    Date of Climb: 7/10/2006

     

    Trip Report:

    The morning was bright and I was off to ski something. I ran into a friend at coffee on my way up to Mtnrs. Crk trailhead to ski the backside of Dragontail & she mentioned Cannon Mtn. Couloir still looked pretty decent last time she looked. So, I drove up and it looked like there was some snow alright! Not knowing anything about the approach, ski, topography combined with getting a late start this looked like a great option for freshly waxed skis, and a little more adventurous then the other memorized and boring hike to Colchuck plus I didn’t feel like running into 100 people asking “what? so yah think yer gonna ski huh?”

    I figured the best approach would be to walk along the old logging road at mtns. creek trailhead and jet up from there. I thought this may be a good road to bike in the future, but don’t do it, definitely not worth it. The road had been washed out by slide awhile in, so here I started up the ridge of loose boulders in ash, then slide alder, this was just the foreplay to nettle bushes, buckbrush and a ton of fallen burnt trees (really fun when you are wearing shorts!), the frolic through a lupine hillside made it all worthwhile, this is where the sun was beating down and I tried to even out my tan sans top. I then went up more and over a couple more ridges to finally see the snow, I was actually on a ridge above it, so I had to descend, then ascend again and I was there 5 hours from leaving the car! Another hour up to the top, the sun cups weren’t all that bad in the fall line, but there was quite a bit of rock debris not making the flow that great, I probably should have taken another lap or two but I wanted to get home before dark. I tried to hike down the stream runoff but kept getting cliffed out, sketcheroony-roo. So I scrambled back up the ridge and down ze way I came, not in ze middle and ran down, took 3 ½ hours from base of ski. Got home to a cute boy that had made me dinner and laughed at my bloody legs.
