Wow... I was just trying to find out more information about the beacon training area which was listed on the BCA site... And, then wholla! It shows up here! Cool!!

I have one. A Garmin that has a built in FRS radio. It does not work well in the forest because of the tree cover. I have only used it (for real) once in a whiteout on Mt. St. Helens. All other uses have been trivial (Marking tent platforms on Hood's south side,Marking trail heads, etc.) I could probably do without in most situations.

I know, so in the mean time, I stick to other things, and only "hike" Beacon.... And that is fine with me.

i thought rockclimbing was boring I think it is, but for you it is exciting. I can't wait until it has enough snow on it for me so snowboard down it.... (that will probably never happen)

OK... You got me there... They started... But it is still there for you and I to enjoy, right?

Ohhh... I see... Only rock climbers are allowed here.... Pfft... I like climbing, just not "rock climbing"... Sorry. I think "rock climbing" is boring. I like climbing, especially "ski mountaineering" but I guess that does not make me "cool" enough to hang out on the internet with hardmen rock climbers like "pink".... Sorry man, I will just fall into a fetal position because of my sorry state of affairs and cry my self to sleep... I was aware of this "factoid" of history, but you had to make some sort of "point" out of it... Okie dokie... Whats next? The Bridal Veil lumber company, and their exploits around Larch Mountain?

well, I see... Google is your friend...

Who knows... I don't, do you? Demolition companies? Geologists making a survey?

Nah. no demolition occurred, but there where plans. Big plans. Thats because no one in SW Washington is worth the time... Not to mention the Seattle snobs... Probably is too much of a hike for those guys... Hell what do I know, I hate rock climbing to begin with... (post 200!! Whoo hoo!! I am coming up in the interweb world!!)

It's not that secret.... There is a trail you can hike to the top... Unless stupid birds are nesting... It's south of Wind Mountain...

Too bad that it is actually in Washington..... Considering that actually Oregon considered purchasing the tract of land to make it a park, caused a political upset in the Washington legislature.... Hell, they wanted to demolish it, and make it quarry.... to build jetty's.... Climb on, rock nerds....

Doh.....

I guess that makes sense. From the onset, they look like they where just out snowshoeing...

Where these guys even climbing? From the reports, they where at the 5000' level. No gps? Used a geo-cache for their co-ordinates? The video looks like they where snowshoeing and got lost. I don't see any climbing gear or packs in the pictures...

Come on now... There is a hike involved to get to the climb... Some think it goes all the way up...

All this talk about burning eyeballs by the sun is starting to scare me into wearing this when I ski and climb on snow... I will probably also save on not using sunscreen on me face either.

Are you sure?

Not you, as you have made so obvious... Wimp. let me guess, seahawks? No.....

That has to be the most stupid response yet....

Not you, as you have made so obvious... Wimp.

You guys are just summitpost posers... Nah, forget the summitpost part.... Most of ya'll are just posers.... Get real.

I think we all need assurance... Do you have a group rate?

The Man is a jerk....

Regarding the Tattoos issue, I have alot of them, and the most visible is two half sleeves. Now, none of my former employers have ec=ver said anything about them, nor do I know of anyone complaining about them. On the other hand, I am self employed now, and my boss is an asshole. He says that a HVAC technician should not look like a hooligan... Whatever, he is a prick. Anyone need a new furnace installed by a tattooed up prick?

In that pic, it looks like it already did. Then a small sump of new snow do cover up the slide tracks...
