Looking for someone who wants to get out and climb this afternoon at Index or the Exits. Live in Mountlake Terrace, have car, rack and rope. Lukic 360.510.0717

No new and exciting leads unfortunately, but I did follow a beautiful lead up Breakfast of Champions. It was only the second time I've been on that route and it is as strenuous as I remembered, so I was happy not resting or falling. Got some fun air time while rapping to the ground.

Thanks for the offer for this weekend and the kind thoughts. I got a last minute phone call from another CCer and jetted off to index for a late afternoon/evening of climbing. Sad story had a happy ending.

Is anyone available for easier Index routes today? I'd like to lead some of the 5.8s and maybe take a crack at Roger's Corner if I'm feeling froggy. I'll even go to Exit 38 if that's the only taker. Rack, rope, car and willing to use all! Lukic 360.510.0717

Thanks for posting the summit shot ... I think. It's a funny photo.

I'm in for some climbing. I've been chomping at the bit to climb something. I'll give you a call today.

Godzilla at Index was enjoyable today. Start of the route was damp, but you could pick your way through on dry stuff and the rest of the route was bone dry. Beautiful blue skies and upper fifties with a light breeze.

What size/material do use for your tag line when you need the extra rap length while climbing with a single?

PM sent.

I've given a thought to doing Rainier this winter, but had pretty much given up do to the unusually high avalanche conditions. I'm not too optomistic about the chances of conditions improving this winter, but the end of February is quite a ways away. If conditions do get better, I'd be interested in an attempt and at the very least would be willing to head up to Camp Muir. Not to be mean, but I'm not interested in a partner with more enthusiasm than sense. About me: I've usually got a lot a free time and enjoy going to Mt. Rainier. I've only summitted 3 times and only by Disappointment Cleaver and the Emmons Glacier routes, but I've been on the Ingraham Direct and Disappointment Cleaver another 3 times that we ended up turning around on. I've never been on it, but had an interest in doing Gib Ledges. Last winter road access was a problem and this year it's avalanches.

Hey Audrey, I was wondering how your summer was going over there. I've been out a couple of times to Leavenworth this summer and have climbed classic crack, but only on TR. I work Saturday and Monday, so if you can climb today or Sunday I would definately like to go climb. Other than that, I'm booked until next weekend. Lukic P.S. If anyone still wants to climb today best chance of reaching me is by phone 360.510.0717

Looking for a partner tomorrow (Friday). I'm willing to go anywhere, but can't leave Seattle until about 8:00 am because that's when I get off work. Wouldn't mind going to Index, Leavenworth, exits, Eerie, or wherever. If you lead it, I can follow in the 10s, but I've been learning trad this summer so some easy to moderate trad would be great. I've lead the couple easy routes at index, and was thinking about giving classic crack a shot on lead next time I'm in Leavenworth. If you'd rather do sport, that's fine by me. I just want to get out sometime this week, because I've been too busy with work. Lukic

I found a handheld motorola radio at the base of a climb in leavenworth. If you can tell me the name printed on it, it's yours. Lukic

I too am interested and currently have the last two weekends in August available for climbing as well as many weekdays in the beginning and end of August. I've been up Rainier several times by DC, ID, and Emmons. If anyone is interested in any other mountains, send me a message. Lukic

Unfortunately not. I have tomorrow off, but work on Saturday and Sunday. Monday is off, but work on Tuesday and don't go back to work until Saturday. So, if Wed-Fri of next week work for you I can definately go. Lukic

Looking for a partner for the standard route up Ingalls for Monday 7/30. I have a moderate rack, rope and car so all I need is a partner. Lukic

What's your schedule like? I may have Thurs-Friday available for climbing and have wanted to go to Baker this week.

I want to go climb in Washington pass if you're still looking for a climbing partner. Don't really have any trad experience, since I've only cleaned a couple of pitches and messed around with it some. I have lots of mountaineering experience and have been very dedicated to rock climbing this year. Mostly done sport routes, but I've started to assemble a rack but only have a couple of cams and a set of nuts. Let me know if you're still looking and what route you were thinking of. I've got Monday through Thursday off of this upcoming week. 360.510.0717 Lukic

I'm looking for anyone to go do some rock climbing today. I'll go pretty much anywhere you feel up for. Climbed mostly sport, but I'm eager to learn more about trad. Only have a couple cams and a set of nuts currently. I've lead some 5.10 sport routes at Exit 38, but it seems like that area is a bit soft rating wise. So probably feel more comfortable leading in the 5.9, but I'll follow (or try to follow) anything you feel comfortable with. 360.510.0717. Lukic

I too am looking for some people to climb with tomorrow and the rest of the summer/year/next year. 29 yom who has a lot of free time. I'm working today and don't get off until tomorrow morning, but I'll climb where ever anyone wants to go tomorrow. Best bet to contact me is my cellphone but you'll probably have to leave a message: 360.510.0717. rslukic@yahoo.com Lukic

Howdy all, I'm new here and am currently looking for a climbing partner/partners. My schedule is usually pretty open and this week I have off from 6/22-6/25 and am looking for someone to go climbing with on at least a couple of those days. I'm pretty open to going just about anywhere, but if you're lacking ideas we could go do SEWS, Glacier, Baker or just get out for some cragging somehwere. I'm pretty experienced and competent when it comes to mountaineering and glacier travel and have more than all the equipment necessary. I've done a fair amount of rock climbing but haven't done too much lead climbing yet. I could comfortably follow about 5.9 or do some toproping if you preferred. This year I've decided to make a deeper commitment to rock climbing and have been going to stonegardens 2-3 times a week since January. Best bet at contacting me is by email: rslukic@yahoo.com Lets get out and climb something, Lukic
