I think i've said that every time I have walked that road...and yet I always find myself on it again. Thanks for the pictures. Good work.

Whats the approach and then I'll be able to give you some more info.

Good detective work Dane! Thanks for the info.

hmm i didn't see the boot on the rei website? but moosejaw had them listed for $240 but their site was acting weird.

Paul, you were sorely missed this weekend...especially when Mark, Leonard and I left camp to go to Whistlin Jacks for warm dinner and beers.

My friend has the batura and has enjoyed them for ice and mixed. Wore them in some pretty damn cold temps in canada too. alpinist review

here you go...

Kimmo, the tape is to prevent injury to the knuckles joints on the finger, which are not made to continually under go the serious stress that is put on them by campusing. Prevent injury in training so when you get to the real thing you are healthy and strong. Something like that, but I have been known to be wrong and this isn't my book.

When they show products at this show, how long until they are release to the public?

Did you guys look at Abiel as you drove by?

The classic splits/butt shot. A little alpine ice. The clouds David alluded to earlier. The snow is in great conditions right now. So get up there while you can.

Are you practicing for next weekend Sobo?

Been in the 40s during the days for a while. I rock climbed at vantage last weekend and the ice was just a pile at the bottom of the waterfall.

I can't believe I was skiing there last weekend and its all gone! holy shit. hopefully my friend will still have a job!

Yeah, it was 53 last night at 230 am in yakima. My morning: I-82 closed due to high winds, power went out at my house, hwy 10 closed due to flooding. Talk about bad luck. wanna go rock climbing paul?

well its suppose to cool back down by thursday night...never hurt to hope!

John, you alive?

So any word on ice in eastern washington? Forecast through the weekend looks great.

Trogdor, did you actually climb the right side? When I climbed it tuesday there was no ice for the last 2-3 feet, making the top out near impossible. Just for conditions update, went to umptanum tonight. The falls is completely iced over and looks climbable if lowered in (I was by myself and didn't wade through the pool). i climbed the drip though and it was pretty vertical, only a 2-3 foot wide pillar right now.

Climbed the three flows in the rainbow area. The right most had a non-existent top out (so i thought) and some good holes were developing on it and around. Still fun day out.

I start school on the 6th and will loose most of my climbing time once that happens so I want to squeeze in as much climbing as possible between now and then. I'm in Ellensburg and have all the gear needed. I'd rather climb in eastern washington or canada or bozeman or wyoming. Send me a pm and we can talk more. -Kevin

Me, Sobo and Justin (summerprophet) joined the masses and climbed Fugs yesterday. It was very fat and wet. We tried climbed to climb the driest sections, which dictated the directions of our route. Finished off the left up the narrow sections, very fun. By the afternoon water was running down all of the ice. Frenchman falls had two big holes develop in the afternoon that weren't there in the morning. These climbs will probably need another cold snap before they safe and climbable again. In my opinion. Paul Detrick or anyone else, Any news on Banks Lake area? Thanks.

Who wants to climb in eastern washington on sunday? I'll be in ellensburg and need a partner. Leavenworth, vantage, etc

i heard everything in the east fell down...
