that block is a death waiting to happen, you could probley move it to two tree ledge. it's in a place that if someone steps on it (which is very likley) it will come off. idk, something to be aware of.

if you end up climbing OS this weekend there's a rock that needs trundling, at the end of the 2nd pitch, right as you step onto two tree ledge, it's kinda matterhorn shaped and ready to go, right onto the heads of climbers gearing up at the base. so if your the last party on the route or early enough to have no one below you please knock it off its perch!

my dad and I are aiming for serpintine on dragontail on sunday, you could tag along on that.

do you have double 50 or 60's? if not, darrington is out for you.

that 9.4 rope is nice, a climbing partner of mine has one, and he's climbed a lot on it. it still looks new, no fraying, and it's really nice to lead on. Clips are easy, it doesn't weigh much. that's lucky getting it for 95.

what grades are the routes?
-
Colin,you should do another slide show in Olympia! I missed the last one you did at the warehouse rockgym because I was out climbing.

and I'll do the salathe if you lead the offwith/chimmney pitch.

I've never even tried aiding, except for pulling on a couple pieces to get through hard sections, but I really want to learn aid techniques and eventuly climb in Yosemite. my goal for now is Liberty crack next summer. this fall and winter I want to start aiding at index but I don't have any gear. if you ever head up north and want a partner give me a call 360 seven 8 nine

what about climbing the B/S route in late august/ early september? I climbed the west ridge a few weeks back, because I didn't want to haul all that gear in there, but after climbing the peak I think it's well worth it. if you want to lead the flaring chimmney pitch I'm super down to climb it. PM me or call 360 789-5492

Hi ken, I'm leaving for a month next week, but when I get back (around August 20th) I am free to climb till sept. 9th, (when school starts) the SW face of EMS is a route I've been wanting to get on for a year or so, and it's best climbed in late season because of a snowpatch on the upper face that rains on the lower route. If you have time for a 3 day trip during that time give me a call 360-789-5492. where are you located? thanks.

Trip: Bryant Peak - East Gully
Date: 2/21/2009
Trip Report:
last Saturday I climbed Bryant with my dad. It was the first time I've been in there and with the fog in the morning we botched the approach and ended up hiking a giant loop back to the parking lot at alpy. once we got back on track we quickly found the route with the clouds lifting and had clear skys. crampons wern't needed until the first gully was gained, and ere only needed for the short 50 degree step in the ridge (there's a pic in the other bryant pk tr) fun climb, a good day to be out.
Gear Notes:
crampons and ice ax, snowshoes are nessisary now with all the new snow.
Approach Notes:
Know where you're going! don't get turned around in the clouds!

I just did this route today after reading your tr.
It was a lot of fun, and I brought way too much gear expecting it to be icy and scetchy on the ridge. as of now nothing more than a ice ax and crampons.
Get some before its gone
