  1. no worries, i know whats good for me. Thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through you.
  2. easy to get lost on that route. we followed the rule of "stay on the ridge" after the crux pitches. we still got off route and i believe finished the route via the last pitch or two of backbone. that mountain is certainly an adventure! plus... epics make you a better climber... provided you live through them!
  3. how about glacier peak? maybe not technical but what an adventure!
  4. reminds me of the book by Bruce Barcott The Measure of a Mountain: Beauty and Terror on Mount Rainier sounds like a great summer
  5. sweet man! that is the first mountaineering trip I went on out here. It is definitely long, but what a wild and amazing place. I hope to one day go back again and climb it from the north.
  6. makes you think twice about the backcountry... and spending the cash for a beacon. thanks for sharing tazz.
  7. i have tried many times, but they never reply to my emails! do they not want my money!? if you are out there reading this, i would like a copy of rattle and slime please!
  8. pilchuck, would you like to label some more of the map to give us losers a better understanding of this complex wall? i have been itching for some of that granite for a bit now.
  9. your TRs are always a joy to read. way to bring the youth into the climbing realm and make it a scientific/research journey as well. solid work!
  10. different stokes for different folks... i would definitely think it was weird seeing all this at Lil Si, but I would have kept my mouth shut and helped out in an emergency. climbing is an activity that is deeply rooted in freedom. I have my opinions of what climbing in good style is, but that doesn't mean everyone else should follow my beliefs, especially climbing.
  11. Olympics are so cool. who cares if the rock is crap right. Plus as you mentioned, forest treats! Great photos!
  12. thanks matt, i appreciate your work. The nice old lady at the pizza place in town speaks highly of you as well!
  13. 5.2 from roosevelt to kaleetan. one loose section. i assume the rest is mostly scrambling and one long day!
  14. bummer! sounds like the next person out there needs a machete and some flagging tape. I have been wanting to get out there as well but feared exactly what you experienced. Thanks for the update!
  15. You guys are true stewards to the climbing community. Thanks very much for giving all us poor, lazy cats something new and amazing to climb in D-town.
  16. phenomenal pictures man! way to capture the surreal surroundings!
  17. HAHA! Rapping Asgard.... it never gets old! I was waiting for you guys to do it, and was relieved when it did not enter the story.
