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'.

My brother and I were talking some friends who have never climber before up the 5.6 or 5.7 Peaceful Warrior route last Friday, there is a really good size hunk of rock ready come apart and fall as soon as someone puts enought pressure on it (its about 3/4 of the way up)... Some people also pulled of a baseball size rock of Don Coyote on the feathers that weekend.

Looks like a fun one if i could lead trad any good...

Sorry i was mostly looking at the Trangos. I have proform on the Sportivas but will be able to get the Scarpas soon. Thanks everyone.

Does Scarpa make a boot similar to La Sportiva's Evo GTX boot?

Nice pics. I want to check that place out some day.

If your really that concerned in figuring out when the mountaineers are going to be climbing just look at there site. It has there dates and times. http://www.mountaineers.org/source/aTrips/Tripselection.cfm?at=cli&ss=yes#marker

I heard it was a pretty good book. That would be pretty intense to have to cut off your own hand ... If his hand was numb from loss of circulation i wonder how much it hurt.

Thats all interesting stuff.

Hey I just got my free OR t-shirt and sticker Saturday!

Ahaha I love it.

Oh snap. Its close. Dont forget to bring the ice tools and sharpend screws ....And a chair i guess... Somebody bring a video camera for youtube. Ill get the chips.

...And and what a legit site (Who Put Oprah In Charge.Com). Its one thing playing around on CC.com but who makes those sites? Oh and what is Oprah in charge of anyways? Shes the host of a TV show.

Actually I have been to Idaho. Me too!

Thanks guys. Thats one of the lame things about me... I dont have ski.

Wow really? Who cares. Shes rich and has her own tv show. I would spend lots of money on all sorts of things if i was rich. Why wouldnt she spend lots of money if she has it? If you had tons of money and your own tv show would you just let it burn a hole in you pocket or would you buy more climbing gear... or food...or cars???

DRep, ill might not be able to climb Mondays or Tuesdays for the next couple of weeks. I shoot you a PM if i can.

I want to do a glacier climb in about 2 weeks and i am sorta looking at the 'eazy route' on Baker. Does any one know how the approach route conditions are and how this time of year climbing would be up there? we...Or any other easy glacier climbs in Washington that would be good in the next two weeks? MAYBE Shuksan or Rainer?

Hey DRep what time? What kind of climbing?

I have been wanting to do Mt. Daniels in the week after next week but i am not sure if we could get even close to the trail head because the snowy road... Does anyone the road conditions for that area. I think its Salmon La Sac Road. Thanks.

Yeah... Rain really sucks. Its making me depressed. Do you folks want to call it off and plan for another(...again...) day?
