I climbed with a friend of the Christianson brothers who was going to Central, but never met them BITD. Most of my climbing crew was from Seattle area. Mark McJizzy, who are you, got a photo, maybe I recognize you from back then? I was in Moore Hall, 77-78, Stevens Whitney 78-79, then offcampus for the last 3 years. But I was at all the keggers. and there were allot of keggers.

I recently upgraded my tools from the old straight shaft models, to the new Petzl Aztars. HOLY SHEEP SHIT, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

What the hell is right, why is Pope climbing in his underwear? Must be why they call it "free" climbing.

hey, how is Fred Stanley doing? I went to CWU back in 77-82, and climbed with Fred a few times on college outings at Peshastin as he was a professor there. Nice guy and talented climber. Is he still climbing? I'd buy a shirt that said "Lead your 60 bitch". It has a nice ring to it.

Good on ya for getting out and getting up it. I climbed yesterday also here in the Col River Gorge. It was 36 degrees at 1 when we started, and we did 3 routes. Two 5.9's and a 5.10. Rick took a good whipper on the first 5.9 when his foot slipped on the wet rock. 5.9 felt like 5.11 it was so cold. Not much wind but the water on the rock just froze your hands, and my feet were blocks of ice after a while. I think we'll wait for the sun next time, but it has been cloudly for so long that we had to get out. Probably same as the Index climbers, its cold but it was fun!

What route is that? got to be 5.12, burly looking.

I once rapped the Snow Lakes Trail and that was brutal. Silly hikers walking on the ropes asking questions, mud, the difficulty of finding anchors. and the switchbacks, oh man! Don't get me started, not a pretty picture let me tell you. So if I was going to choose a trail to rap, Aagard is much higher on my list.

Summiting K2 without oxygen. Burly endeavor or what?

If the guy wants to rap Aasgard Pass, who am I to tell him no? Only comment I have is why rap anchors when in the photo there are perfectly good trees to put the rope around? Its not like you're top roping off them, just rapping. I'll take a tree over a bolt anyday. Whatever, as long as you're having fun and out there doing it, you are heads and tails above ninely percent of us setting on our arses reading about it.

Real men hitchhike

Super rowdy

Those boots are to cool.

Just ordered my copy off Amazon and man am I stoked to get it.

Stellar TR! Looked like allot of fun.

Save someone else's ass and tell it like it is.

I'd love to go Joseph, but also got to many commitments with the family and Christmas right around the corner since I have not done any shopping. I did manage to do a little shopping and pick up another ice tool for myself though, so I have a matching pair, which is nice.

Write a letter to the Editor and complain. I just did.

Index?

Try the Nisqually Glacier for serac climbing. Lower Ingraham Glacier is not to bad a hike and great crevasse climbing if you don't mind lowering in and climbing out. Pick up the brown Cascade Alpine Guide for more info.

Are you serious? Rainier makes Baker look like a popsicle.

Man, I thought I was getting it done this year, but after reading some of the other folks acheivements, I guess I better just keep my nose to the grindstone. Way to be going after it dudes and dudesses.

The Plaidman is rad man! but those nose hairs......

I re-made the video of ice climbing with Plaidman and Rick last Thursday with extra video clips and photos, and also changed the music. This one ROCKS!!! What ya'all think? Scott, all the video I shot was with a Canon Elf, just a tiny shirt pocket size camera, super quality video and photos.

Just did a new video of ice climbing last Friday as had some extra footage. Heres Rick and The Plaidman getting down to business. I changed the music also...http://www.vimeo.com/8212351
