Someone needs to give those kids some BMXers

Yeah Jason, Steph, and Kyle went over Sharkfin Col on that trip which requires a rap. The more "standard" approach involves traversing the east face of Boston Peak, which is easy climbing but is exposed. The south side would be less technical but you could avoid Sharkfin Col or the Boston traverse by dropping into Horseshoe Basin off of Sahale Arm and climbing up from there. We skied the south face one summer when the N Face wasn't in. I'd say its pretty comparable to W Ridge of Eldo as far as steepness, etc.

All good questions Josh. Do you have a copy of the Beckey guide? That would be a great resource for you. As far as Buckner is concerned, I think either route may be good. The N Face is obviously steeper. Keep in mind you will encounter some exposed terrain traversing across Boston Peak to get on the glacier; and be wary of avalanche conditions. Also, some climbs in the Enchantments such as Dragntail or Colchuck might be good objectives for you if you want to come over to the eastside of the mountains.

How 'bout anything else from Cascade Pass: Sahale, Boston, Buckner, J-Berg, Magic, Hurry Up or Mix Up.

If you drink enough wodka that shit IS perfectly safe.

This thread needs to die.

Not sure I'd want to go bungie jumping in Zimbabwe.

Cool. Nice lookin ski line.

Or you can just snuggle up behind the rotten block.

I figured you'd done at least one of those two. Another idea would be to do City Park, the second pitch, then Slow Children or cut left and do either the third pitch of Jap Gardens or Klaus Von Bulow and the Algorythm of Love. Narrow Arrow Direct would be another good 3 pitch affair. Solo aid will get you in shape quick!

You've probably done Town Crier, but I thought that was real fun and a good challenge for solo aid. Green Drag-on is supposed to be good to.

Here's a pic of me and my team on the N Face of K2. I'm kind of a big deal.

And what peak is that in the pic above the fried chicken shot?

You'll have to fight off the other 300 pounder he's currently dating.

Damn! I thought I was the only one who bouldered at the gym in a horse costume.

You can keep the company of women, but you just have to deny them your essence.

And Warren Harding did get laid a lot. Though I doubt most of his contemporaries can make the same boast.

I did climb Mt. Si once (well, at least to the end of the trail) so I figure I pretty much know everything about this here mountain climberin.

Not really. All mountains I know of adhere to the laws of weather, climate, physics and gravity and that sort of shit.

Neat. Glad you had a great trip!

Dude, you're asking the Bone to demonstrate a simple understanding of basic civics. That's like asking a monkey, or me for that matter, to comprehend nuclear physics. Just ain't gunna happen.

Looks like marmot bait.

You mean like aid climbers or something? More like inner city kids without the opportunities most of us had. This looks pretty cool. Geez bro are you not allowed to have a sense of humor where you live or what? On another note, is there any research that actually shows hoods in the woods programs actually work?

This thread took an interesting turn.
