I think of that one RE cam that failed, a lot more RE cams held. Ive fallen on that exact same size/make of cam a few times. Im pretty sure metolius and BD cams have failed once or twice in the past too.

Here you go Tvash

I wish my Dad would brag for me online! Nobody ever congragulates me for doing TD alpine routes at 15.... they make fun of me b.c I don't have the fanciest gear on the market

Look at this crazy Palin video!

Hey Simple-Jack! Were you around and climbing back then? If you weren't, then you probably don't know what you're talking about. If you were, then I guess you're an "old fart" too. Nothing has changed in 30 years??????? As I noted before, there are tons more people today calling themselves "climbers". Thirty years ago you'd go out to the crags and if you didn't know most of the people, you probably knew of them, at least in the Northwest, thus it was very hard to pull off bad stunts like thievery. NOT SO ANYMORE. Thirty years ago, you didn't have racks of gear with numerous cams costing $35+ each. I'd guess there a good possibility that the current Index gear thief is some other kind of low-life, but I'd never rule out the possibility that it's someone who wants the gear to use it, i.e., a "climber". Sit down, Simple Jack. [img:center]http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/images/simplejack.jpg[/img] That was so M-M-M-M-MEAN!

Sure was a great route, even though its easy I still highly recommend it. I took my GF on it for her first trip in the mountains and she loved it, the 10m rope we carried stayed in the pack and we cruised up in a bit over 4 hours. 7-8 hours car to car. All four of us (me ,tamara, and two clubtreaders) had an excellent time. The lower slabs are friggin amazing!

Saw that when I tried the East Ridge..... its pretty big!

I climbed Yak and Slesse with him... you know that^

Ive been loving 'Journey' all week... especially 'Ask the Lonely'

checking for wear will be a pain in the ass as the stems have rubber over them

dude.. u should give him ur # if you want him to call u!

Reinhard is gonna be stoked.... I am too!!

North Ridge is a great route, but I wouldn't try it in winter if you have no winter experience. The ice section is short too, I don't know how much ice would be exposed with the amounts of Snow Baker gets.

unless you go REALLY late in the season there is always snow.... if you go early the entire scree slope is a 5 minute glissade.

Road walk wasn't that bad at all IMO.. the trail down however was living hell. And as Ivan mentioned, the lack of water. I took a nice cold shower under the drippy cliff to fill a water bottle.

the uni-cycle kid rocks!

Have you read about Texplorer's trip to Slesse where he thought he was on the NEB, didn't realize he was off route till pitch 10 and put up a new route?

IMO that crag looks a little sketchy/dirty... But it could be good, just not quite the splitter granite like Squamish and Harrison. If you guys think u have soft grades come clibm in Suamish, if you climb 5.6 in the alpine you can prolly flash a 5.11 in Squish.

Nice! Thats huge!

So, did the 'Devil's Club' route not make the summit?

Absolutely! You can see it on the approach and climb, until you dip behind the west side of Slesse on the descent.

1200 - 1500 feet probably

go to 'the yard sale' forum and list it with the prices.

What kind of rock is 'ozone' made of?
