Partner had to bailed at last minute, anyone intrested in a day of alpine climbing? Thinking something like the Chair or the zipper on lane.

Anybody intrested in climbing at darrington tommorrow? I don't know the area and will be coming up from Tacoma area.I am comfortable leading 10- slabs, I would like to climb with someone that knows the area to make the most of the day.

Is anyone intrested in climbing tue, it looks like a bunch of new snow tonight, if no one is intrested in climbing I will be heading to crystal to ride the lifts,I will be leaving around 7:00 from tacoma area.

It's a hit or miss trip, I have been there in Jan in 65 deg temps and other times snowing and blowing. Bring your gear, you will get pissed if there is good weather

I have Wed and Thur off, anyone intrested in some Ice or an alpine route?

Anyone intrested in skiing crystal tomorrow before the warm front comes in? I am thinking of just paying the 35 dollars for the lift and just getting turns tomorrow. Leaving from ft lewis around 7:00 am after work

With the Avalanche hazard so high and Crystal being close today, I went for a quick tour this afternoon it was snowing at 2000 feet, very little snow at the base, but on top I got in some great turns. There was not a soul skiing the mountain!! I wouldn't spend any money riding the lifts until they get some more snow.

Thanks everybody!!! I just got back from climbing in Leavenworth, I just love climbing Outerspace in the fall! So I just got a chance to read everyones suggestions, and I think, weather dependent obviously, I will start this winter out by heading to Hylite for a guide and the Ice festive, then see how funds are and head to Ouray, to practice and drink copious amounts of beer with the wife.

Understand, that AAI gives the course but Pacific Northwest Ice is spotty at best, and I need to plan out the time off.

I have been climbing rock, snow and glacier ice for twenty plus years, but have very little water fall ice climbing experance. Last year, Wayne drug me up a w2+ ice climb and I am sure he felt more like a guide than having a partner, so I need to correct this problem. So here is the question, this winter I am planning on paying a guide service to teach me, I am looking for the most climbing for the buck, someone that will push me and I only want or can afford two or three days of paying a guide. Better if it's a class with a few people less money per day. I am thinking Ouray would be the location, but I have never been there so somewhere else might be better. Anyway, I am just looking for recommendations so I don't spend money on some crap class. Thanks

I have mon,tue,and most of Wen off, climb one day or all three, not sure what I want to climb. Leavenworth snow creek, manybe alpine "something moderate", I havent climbed aid for a while, really don't care, just want to get out and climb. Have car, ropes, rack, more than willing to climb with your group.

Hey it going to be a great day tommorrow, I have never climbed in the darrington area and would love to do one of the mult pitch classic. Any of you northern brothers want to show me around. I am pretty solid 10- climber, slab a little harder. But really I just want a long day of climbing in a new area, I don't care if it's a 5.6 or 5.10
