sawzall it outta there!

should I get a set of these or a set of mastercams? help me!!!

going down that gully in rockshoes would suck ass. don't do it.

next time I'm up there I'll try that. I like how this has turned into a beta blast for the 10 feet of 5.6 on midway.

yeah, there are edges and stuff that you use to get up it, but they're all so polished, I hate polished!!!! the pitch above is sweet though. I took a friend who had never climbed a multi pitch trad route before up it and he really enjoyed it. hopefully he'll buy a rack, after all, he works at a gear shop, and is there any other reason to do that?

at the top of midway theres a 10 foot section that you have to chimney. or at least I did, like butt against jello tower feet up on the polished wall of castle. right where that fixed pin is. it blows.

looking to do either green dragon or town crier. I can drive, only problem is I don't have a big enough aid rack. any takers? sunday sunday sunday, the weathers best then. 360 789-5492 Keenan W

the reason that I hate the midway chimney so is that the rock is so polished right there, so smearing is not confidence inspiring, the rock on SCW doesn't gloss up nearly as much and also I bet a way smaller percentage of people have climbed the pressure chamber. still, carnival is definitely on my list next time I'm in leavenworth.

is edge of space done with any regularity? looks really sweet, I just can't lead 11b slab.

dang, I guess I have to find a partner who likes hard chimneys. I want to do easter overhang but midnight is closed. is carnival the 10d offwidth up by 8 mile? is it easily toproped? I only have 1 #4 c4

is the pressure chamber easy to aid with smallish gear? like just french free through it? I hate offwidths/chimneys. (maybe I should do more? the final moves on the first pitch of midway really blow for example)

isn't hwy 20 closed?

yeah, it takes about 50 min, but still, it'd be nice if you wanted to do multiple routes in there to not have to do it twice.

Pulled out the guide, it's called Psychopath, 11a, climbed as an alternate to the 3rd pitch of iconoclast.

that could very well be true, however, in the new leavenworth guide shows a 11a called something with a P and it says it's a fantastic finger crack that replaces the 2nd 5.8 pitch of iconoclast. also, I'm referring to the lower iconoclast route, up to library ledge, exiting out the last OS pitch. would you get busted if you camped below SCW? I figure with the state budget as shitty as it is they can't afford to pay rangers to bust people. can you get a permit to camp legally?

so you don't use yours either!

oh, and Hyperspace too, what about that one?

nice guys, way to get after it. Not trying to hijack your post, but going to anyway, anyone done iconoclast and pumpline? looks cool, what do people think of it?

save up and buy a car!!! I know it sucks but it's what I'm doing right now. for around 2k a decent civic can be had, or a previa if you really want to have a house on wheels.

figures... if you replace some of those anchors that are getting a little rusty I'd love to help out. I've never placed/removed a bolt before and I think it'd be a good skill to have.

to keep this about climbing and get away from any hurt feeling I may have caused (sorry guys) anyone want to go to Index for a day or two from Thursday to Saturday? Weather should be good and the grades there are stiff for sure! (please correct me if I'm wrong) I really want to try and flail my way up Sloe Children or Thin Fingers. also maybe give Even Stevens another try. I promise I won't spray about ratings. Fun day at index... any takers?

oh come on! that wasn't a diss to your crag, it's location can't be beat. That 10b was awesome, fun moves on big holds with a nice little runout thrown in the mix. for me I could just skip any marginal holds and grab the big flake right above with my gigantic reachability, definitely harder then 5.8. Remember that .10+ totally stopped me short, I hangdogged the crap out of that. I promise I won't say your crag is soft ever again! but I might give some tall beta, heheh. as for outside bouldering, I totally blew my expectations out of the water. In the gym I can do V3's on a good day, so when I flashed a heelhooking 3 in leavenworth I was very surprised, to say the least. jeeze, if I've offended this many people over a little comment about soft ratings I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut, extra input is not appreciated in Tenino. All I want to do is climb at the sweet crag 20 min from my house!

oh come on!!! am I the only betabanned person at the quarry?

hey off, it was pretty warm and sunny today, anything dry at the quarry? I can't wait to get out and try more routes.

anyone want to check out fossil rock? it's so close, who cares if it's crap. give me a call 360 789 5492 Keenan Waeschle.
