  1. goodluck on getting in there, looks like a incredible place, unfortunately I can (will) only do one brutal approach trip a year and that's gonna be the pickets traverse this year. let us know how it goes. I want to know if it really is some of the best granite in washington. I'm a little wary of that billing after hiking in to lucky dog wall...
  2. trig man. law of sines! sin70 sin20 200 X solve for X the 70 and 20 are in degrees too so I got 72.8 feet that's how far out you'd be.
  3. if you fall on ice your going to get hurt. correct me if I'm wrong. montypiton can attest to this I think. btw, how are you doing curt?
  4. it's been pretty damp... don't get your hopes up.
  5. if the rock was cleaned more it could be a nice crag. long hike but no crowds. cool orange lichen on the face kinda reminded me of the needles of socal, except that the rock was grainy and needed to be brushed heavily. next time someone goes up there bring a couple heavy brushes and see if the rock can't be cleaned up a bit.
  6. yeah! at the top there were two big metolious bolts with hangers big enough to rap on but they were over 3 feet apart. weird shit! a couple rocks got knocked off too. the far right line with 15 bolts? it was mostly 5.9 with maybe a couple harder moves to pull the lip of the roof onto a dirty lichened face. If I can onsight it it's not 11b...
  7. went and checked it out this weekend, the new guidebook showed a bunch of new 3 star 5.11 routes, figured it'd be worth checking out. we did the "5.11b" route on the far right side of the wall. the rock was gritty and the route itself was 5.10-. cool spot but I think misreported. rock might clean up with more traffic, until then not a 3 star crag. anyone know about this crag?
  8. what'd you have for a rack? heavy on the offsets I see but what else? would a double standard free rack to #4 with a few more pieces in the #2 C4 range cut it? plus some cam hooks? thanks!
  9. sweet!!! TD looks like a great route with way less crowds then the nose. looks like you guys made the most of your trip!
  10. wish me luck, I'm going to try it this saturday. I need to build up my wide crack resume...
  11. why can't I see any pictures?!?!?! maybe the school compute I'm on just really sucks.
  12. dammit!!!!!
  13. while I spent all afternoon in your backyard Off I did not see you. I guess non of us actually talked too you. I got that 11a that you pointed out to me, the slab clip at the top is a little too exciting!
  14. thanks guys!!! that would be great. If I can get a trip together I'll definitely take you up on your offer. the 6 can double as a club for defense against over eager goats!
  15. I thought the pro in that upper corner was .75-2 C4's... why was he putting in C3's? glad to hear he's okay, that had to be one hell of a fall. how far did he go before impacting the slab? 20 feet? 30 feet?
  16. can I do it without a #5? how bad would the run-out be? a total solo? or like a 40 foot fall onto a slab? anyone have a #5 they'd loan me? I just can't justify buying a $100 cam that I'd never use. oh, and I don't really climb offwidths at all.
  17. I might be interested. I'm looking to try some 11's haven't been to little si before. PM me your digits and I'll call you when I figure out my climbing plans this weekend.
  18. similar to mouth barf? [img:left]http://www.worldofstock.com/slides/NBI3598.jpg[/img] go right ahead!
  19. thanks boss, thats what I meant.
  20. I'd rather not have a tree wrapped in tat. fix the bolt.
  21. why would someone drop that ledge? I really doubt that it fell off naturally but then again, why the hell would someone spend the time and energy to knock it down? I want to know more...
  22. damn, I've sat on that block unroped before. felt solid...
  23. just got it today, thanks for shipping it so quickly dane. havn't had time to give it a good read but from flipping through it looks great!
  24. ditto! thanks for doing this dane, glad you have the giving spirit!
  25. sawzall it outta there!
