I was thinking about doing Stuart in the next 2-3 weekends from now up the Cascadian Couloir... I was wondering if anyone knows how the conditions are up there or can tell me how the avy danger is in the couloir. Thanks a lot, Collin

Stone Gardens and Vertical World remind me of skate parks.

Freedom bread... But sound good.

Word.

Thats good hes alright. My brother and I saw the SAR teams on the hill.

Thats pretty funny. If i had the cash i would do it for sure haha.

It sounds like a good idea Frank but I agree with sobo. Someone is bound to knock it over or vandalize it somehow.

Here is a link for more info on aviation archelogy. I tried finding some planes out near Ellensburg but didnt have enough info to actualy fin the P-38... http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/ It has a lot of info for learning the basics. Here is a message board with some pretty helpful people on for locating crash sites and other info: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/mb/pacaeropress I dont mean to 'advertise' other message boards...

There are always going to be people who will snach peoples gear every chance they get but in other cases it might look like they abanded there gear. Like i said before, i cant spell.

I suppose im used to climbing in Vantage and havent seem QDs hangin around but it reasonable if there are other hard routes like that in the area and thats what people do... Some times its better to trust yor own gear though. I dont like the idea of leaving gear around.

Nice. What was that on???

Haha about 2 posts ago, i was going to add that although i am passing english i dont know grammar or spelling for (inset word that starts with 's' here).

Thats what i would think...

Maybe someone set your gear at the bottom of the climb because they wanted to climb that route and didnt trust your "older" gear, then a flatlands park ranger picked it up thinking it was trash (ok that was dumb, but really). Is sorta how people leave webbing and when it looks old people cut it off. I think its fine to leave gear but when other people are wanting to climb that same route... Is it ethical to park your car on the sidewalk and expect it not to get towed?

No problamo Bret, but if your QDs get snached after leaving them up there for more than 24 H's, there gone. Good luck on climbing that route, though. Whats it rated?

Its the end of a weekend, getting dark out and i see some quickdraws. Hmmm...

Its probably best to take your pro out when you leave for the day... Many people might think you left the pieces because you could not finish the climb and that maybe you were not coming back. If i were you i would not leave any QDs for more than a day unless you were coming back in the morning. Thats just my 2 cents.

I now want to go swimming. I didnt know France really looked like that.

Dang birds... Nice pics though.

I hope its not just for the weekend.

Who put it in?

There is a "town" of Peshastin.

In some ways it may actually be better not to hide it under a rock. I don't know the biology or rotting poo in that environment but my guess is that it will stick around a lot longer if hidden under a rock. A better thing to do might be to stir it with some sand or dirt but then somebody is likely to step in your mess. Obviously, better yet would be to use blue bags and carry it home. I guess another issue is the toilet paper that people leave lying around. Not enough people are willing to pack out and throw it away. There is a gas staition about 6 miles from the parking lot (it also has coffee) but not many people take advantage of it.

Yeah, but where would all the climbers camp? There is a DNR land not to far away that i have used in the past for hunting and there is always the town of Vantage but gas prices... Im just saying because people drive prety far way to climb there. Last time i was there, there was about 3 differnt climbing partys from Cannada.

I know, right. I was out there last Tuesday-Friday and most people didnt even bother to put rocks on top of there 'Easter Eggs'.
