You mean rope fuzz? What's worse is when static elec. builds up and that rope fuzz starts getting on your face when you're rapping.

I wouldn't go until the fall - there's ticks out!

Who else got F*cked in last night's traffic jamb on Hiway 2? I've seen that road pretty backed up before, but never that bad. It was backed up way past Index.

Yes!

Better lookin' hookers. 8D

WTF, why would you want to aid at Vantage!? Geez! Probably the same F*n reasons you want to go there.

Dammit. No wants to get some rock? I've got a car.

There's snow in Seattle?

Heard that a couple of campgrounds are closed because of this rockfall so there can be some "evaluations". Not sure if it's an April Fools joke or not. Probably real though. If you were planning on going that way soon, you better look into it!

So.... The forecast is looking allright for climbing - mid 50s and partly sunny. Though the weather could change, I'm looking to get out this weekend. I'm not looking to freeze my arss off, so a later start is probably in the cards for me. I'm pretty much leading 5.10- these days, but can belay harder. Who else is up for some sunny tick dodging?

Was at SG last night and.... In the bouldering area, what do you think that overhanging hand crack is rated? The one with like the 6' not-too-steep-roof. 5.10? 5.10+?

This sucks. He was one hell of a skier. I'll have to watch some MSP videos in memory.

I've had that tent for about 4 years now. It does lack in ventilation when it is humid out. When it is cold, but relatively dry, as long as the vents on the door and opposite wall are open, I don't get much condensation. Also, I started sleeping with my head at the door becuase it has more venting. Despite what some have said, I find it to be really watertight. I've used it many times in the rain and it hasn't leaked yet. In J-tree last year, it was one of the only tents to survive a "high" wind day, despite when I got back to camp the steady wind was basically pushing it flat on the ground. Wouldn't want that happening while I was inside it!

I seens somes in 11worth last weekend. Nasty little bastards.

Was your car the lone car on Saturday evening. I drove by Castle rock about 6ish - I figured whoever was up there was freezing.

No need. Most everything southish facing is 100% snow free. All of the areas I hit up today were dry. However, everyone should stay at home until June when it is warm.

Nope???? Is it worth me driving from Seatown tomorrow to check it out? Thanks for the heads up.

Depends. There's snow most everywhere.

Are you planning on doing 1 climb a day or what? The 5 most memorable climbs for me that I know the names of: Mr. Misty Kiss Music Box Popes Crack Mental Physics (go all the way) Lazy Day

AR, Here's where I went last summer/fall/winter - when I quit working for the man: Lover's Leap - September Yosemite - September (I'd go later or to Tuolomne if it's hot) Red Rocks - October/ November Index - Whenever I was home (and couldn't get across the border) Leavenworth - Whenever I was home Squamish - August/ September Joshua Tree - First couple weeks of December Also, it's easier if you are flexible on when/where you go. Basically, follow the temps and weather, and you'll be happier. Also, after being to these other "western" spots, I still think WA granite kicks ass. For how you describe your skills, the routes and rock around home are just as good as anywhere else you'd go.

Where'd you get this forecast from?

I'm in once it dries out again.

GriGri?

Not raining or snowing

Anyone Game?
