Good luck on the Karma with that rope...

That's lame.

Now what is wrong with these anchors?

He sounds like a great guy, sorry not to have met him.

Benjio, I'm pretty sure the reasons the mods pulled that first thread is it was rumored to be another Nate that frequents Beacon Rock and posts on this site quite a bit. I got a call late last night about the accident. Again, sorry for your loss.

Benjio, I'm sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and all his family & friends.

Have a great trip! A few Silverthrown Pics

I was on Silverthrown in 1998, it took us 16 days round trip from Wonder Lake but we never summited due to weather. We camped at the notch around 10k if I remember correctly. Then we were pinned down for 3 days and just spent time digging the tent out. Of course, as soon as we got back down the weather cleared for a few more days. Awesome spot though. Lots of crevasses on the Muldrow and Treilika(?) but manageable. Not sure what conditions are like these days though. I've got some old pics but not with me. PM me if you want more details. Not sure what conditions would be like in late August as we did it in early May.

Every time I climb near someone who has their jambox playing music is ruins my experience. Better not climb with/near Ivan then. Course, if'n his boom box don't kill ya, his singing will!

I'd vote for two days, camp at the lunch counter. Head for the summit at first light. Makes for a nice enjoyable climb and likely to soften up by mid morning.

Better check with the Dawg on this one...

See you at the end of August, hopefully. Meantime, I'll be climbing wind turbine towers.

Looks like I missed all the fun. Carry on.

Ding, ding, ding!

Hi Mark: sent via PM (Private Message), there will be a clinking thing up on the header bar, just click it and it's a "PM" with the info. Good to see you on site. ..any climbing pics? _____________________________________________________ Have a good trip Denali Dave! Thanks Bill! I also sent LCK's info over to Mark. Hope he don't mind...

Thanks for all the beta and props to ClimberJed who hooked me up with Mt Ashland free site. Sweet spot!

Woot! See all ya Beatards in a month or so... Save some tat to cut and bolts to chop fer me.

Get some! Shouldn't it be El Presedente then?

I'm headed to California tomorrow and want to get about as far as Grants Pass, OR (ish) Thursday night - 7/14. Any recommendations for a free camp site not to far off the main roads. I just need a place to park the truck and catch some z's but don't really want to pay for a site. Would pay up to $10 if I really had to though. Thanks in advance. Any other recommendations about 8 hours south off of I-5 for the next night would be nice to know as well. Dave

Wow, they just keep coming. Great shots! Probably not a grand prize winner but a good shot none the less...Scenic - Alaska Range

Missed this one first time through (yes, it was that entertaining). Dudes! One word: Walmart - $28 - Micro Tek Ultra-Compact Mummy 30-Degree Sleeping Bag Werner says they are a stickler on this one if they have to come after you... John David Jr would be proud!

I can smell the patchouli oil from here.

Or as I like to call em "poor man's power bars". Plus, Snickers Really Satisfies!

Sweet! I remember when you posted about having a baby and I CANNOT BELIEVE that was two years ago... They sure do grow up FAST. Climb on!

Where can I buy the latest album from that awesome "band" in the video boner posted?
