Im looking for a place that I and one other can stay for five weeks or more. That means it needs to be cheap, but I want it to be secure. I also want a place that stores gear while your gone for no charge. If they speak english that is also a plus. In Peru last year I stayed at an enlish speaking place, 5 dollars a night, hot water, private room and bathroom, free gear storage while gone in the mountains. And they were very friendly and helpful. I want something similar to this. Any recomendations would be helpful. Thanks.

Are there any recomendations out there for good accomidations, for anyone who has been there?

I just and looked at the boxes. There is a box full of random packs and about lots of stuff sacks. Just about all stuff sack and any size they make. I also just saw the vega ki which is 100 dollars, regular 160. It looks like I only see medium sized packs.

I forgot to add, its all brand new stuff. You can check out the stuff on the granite gear website.

My friend got the hook up, let me know, i need to know before this Sunday if you want to buy, otherwise its too lat4. Nimbus Ozone - will sell 150 regular 215 Vapor Trail - will sell 100 regular 160 Virga - will sell 60 regular 110 also if you need any compression sacks I can get a very good price on those. Let me know, I will pay Shipping for stuff sacks. Best to email me for me to see it.

sold

I have eight ice screws I would like to sell. They are used with the expection of one. I was thinking 30 dollars each. I have taken perfect care of all my gear. I am going to buy the new bd screws when they come out. Black Diamond turbo express. 22cm - 1 19cm - 3 16cm - 3 (1 never used) 13cm - 1

That big wall off to your left, with the "<> Route" was just a big ordeal. Pete said they left their crampons hanging on the wall down low, left his hammock hangging on the wall, topped out in a snow storm and left two ropes hanging, one draped over the summit. It was more like a 7 pitch loose all your gear climb. He also said when they hiked in there, the trail was like a free way. Families with kids, old people, etc, no brush or downfall. Good to see someone got in there.

I went back there once in winter and got rained on, i went back there three times in summer and got rained on.

Kat, Im gona be hanging around redmond until sept., and am looking to do anything. let me know. you can call me, if you lost my number its 425-691-0090. I don't have yours. Maybe we can go up ingals creek for a few days?

I have been up near a lake just below the peak when I was little, but don't remember anything about the surrounding peaks. Beckey book states there are some pinacles that are climbable. I want to go up there this week possibly. Does anyone have any pictures of that mountain, I can't find mine, if I even took any. Or if anyone has any climbing related info, that would be neat too. If anyone knows about any "seceret" appeals (non climbing related) to going to this area, please don't post them here.

Whoops, wrong kevin. I was reffering to this guy...

Good to hear you made it back, i flew back into seattle yesterday. What routes did you guys get done. Craig

please do so

I quit climbing, thats why I want to see posts of obsecure things. Im going to go get fat on a cruise in AK this weekend. Kevin, if you went to climb outerspace you would probably get lost and end up climbing at peshastin, all the while thinking you were on route.

Indeed, I just saw that stuff in the N. Cascades forum, such as Blakes post. That is the type of stuff that would be cool to see more of.

Why all trip reports for the same routes always, Stuart N. Ridge, Thompson W. Ridge, Prusik, Colchuck, Guye...People should go climb some wierd stuff that dosent get much attention, then post some rad photos. I want to see more write ups and photos of those semi remote, untocuhed in 20 years, chossy vegitated peaks and spires.

Last night I found my self half hovering over the tolit and my other half over the sink. Unsure of what might insue, I wanted to be ready for anything. I ended up using both simultaneously. A quick glance out the bathroom door to see what all the gargling was about and I could see my girlfriends head buried in a plastic bag. I crawled back into bed chuckling like an insane person. Are we having fun yet, I asked. She didn´t respond.

Thats sweet how you guys were able to salvage the trip with the arete. Not a lot of people climb that thing, but it does have some fun spots indeed. The pillar starts shaping up nice in late June, with the Ice Cliff being relatively safe.

On the route we did there was hardly sustained climbing. Some very hard, perhaps quality lines could be done on the steep wall to the left (clean 5.11+ vertical looking cracks for 2 to 3 pitches). Everything up there has been explored, its just a matter of finding it again.

Indeed, you are dumb.

Trip: Dragon Teeth - West Face - South Rib Direct (FA?) Date: 6/2/2007 Trip Report: In an effort to find solitude, Denise and I decided to explore the rarely visited Dragon Teeth. This crag is not as remote as many of the crags one might find in the Enchantment Wilderness, but the difficulty in reaching them adds sufficient adventure. Many may find the name more interesting then the quality of the climbing, but if one has an urge to escape the masses, you might find some adventure here. We worked a line up the West Face – South Rib Direct, about 7 pitches and simul climbing, 5.8: Climbing on the rib: The summit pyramid: The Rat Creek Crags: Gear Notes: small rack Approach Notes: left from Mountaineer Crk. parking lot

Make sure you don't forgott your food if you do the traverse. John and I did it on 2 or 3 cough drops.

My girlfriend and I played on Comando Pillar last weekend. Was fun to, until it started raining again. Everytime I've got half way up that face, its started raining on me. Joe, One of the customers that comes into the rock gym that I work at went on an outting with you recently. She had lots and lots of fun. She was really impressed with what you guys did. I just wanted you to know. -Craig
