WE owe SO MUCH money to the Chinese and other, that in a few short years they will not only be logging the National Forest bare, but our State and National Parks as well. Its coming, just wait..its what happens when you go bankrupt.

Very sorry to hear of the Baker fatality also, what a dang shame. Aasgard Pass has always been a dangerous place, people get lulled into a false sense of security I think because it seems a trail. I remember my first trip into the Enchantments in 1975, and the only guy we met broke his leg on the way out we found out later going down Aasgard. Many fatalies and injuries on Aasgard thru the years.

so very very very sad.

So for the record, whats the shortlist of top 10 Farside climbs....?

Nice photo A. Justin Patterson giving it the business it looks like! West face of da Monkey?

Everybody loves a good crag dog! I think the reason Ozone is not crowded must be the new guidebook and they are all over doing Joe Healy routes at the FARSIDE!

Coolest crag dog ever, Texas! Took some guests cragging at Ozone and this friendly guy was greeting everyone and being pretty cool, not sure who owns him, I think a couple Portland folks. The two characters on either side of Texas, they were getting it done. Ozone was not crowded on a sunny Saturday, Good times.

for the money, the BD Spot is the best headlight you can get. Compact, lightweight, has dimming options for both lights, and when you turn that spot on, WOOHOO, you can see to climb! They rock!

sAwesome! Wheres the Nisqually Icefall pics?! ya mon!

The Cathedral Spires, Yosemite

Look and feel of a rope should tell you how good it is after time, if its been stored in a bag out of UV.

I hate when that happens..

so you want someone to rap into the Gates of Hell for your shovel handle? Ok, thats a reasonable request...

I loaned my Valley Giant to Ben last night, so you can relax and get some sleep Ivan, its all going to be ok. Well, except your foot is probably fawked, and the Farside has become to perilous to climb at, and Kenny tore Joseph a new one so he probably has 2 buttholes. but beyond that, its all good. Also Bill, you don't like my diatribes? You've never said that to my face!! I can't believe it, what a outrage. Whats a diatribe?

Bill, thats not right to torture the poor guy like that...cut off his right hand so he cant, but don't do this, please for the love of Mike I beseech you....jospeh, how many fingers am I holding up? Yes, You guessed correctly, One.

So are you saying that we should have Joseph committed Bill? Alright, I reluctantly agree. But he'll just be another guy on the government dole in a rubber room, seems hardly fair...to us taxpayers. I've seen Tim's new book. and its super RAD!!! Tons of new routes, tons of info, great photos. I can hardly wait to get a copy to try all the new stuff, and see what crags I can rap into. i CAN'T BELIEVE tIM DIDN'T INCLUDE A WARNING AGAINST PEOPLE RAPPING INTO CRAGS, ITS SEEMS SO.....UNCLIMBER LIKE. rAPPING THAT IS. nO, REVERSE THAT. People can't be responsible for their actions, and everyone should always stay on the trail and be counted, those a-holes.

you said "dick". Didn't you read your new agreement with Cascadeclimbers.com, I guess not!

That looks FABULOUS!!!

Nice photo Bill. heres some photos from last couple weeks

Ok, thank you Jon. It is working now, you must have fixed it.

I can't post any photos to the website like I normally do. It says the file is to big. Wierd.

They are trying to rescue a climber on Liberty Ridge at the moment who has been up there since Friday. he is hypothermic and in trouble. Rainier is a big bad hill!

Yes, Joseph makes a joke!!! Excellent! It was even funny. But you need to drop the Drop Zone, thats past history.

Is this really a locked thread? as looks like i can post on it....
