Have fun everyone. Wish I could go but I work Sunday. Skiing tomorrow though!

Killer pic's. I've always wanted to climb there. I 'll have to get down there one of these days.

Should do that route finishing on Hyperspace, if you haven't already. The Pressure Chamber pitch is a can't miss.

Its funny, sometimes I read your posts just so I can have a laugh at how stupid you are. This is definitly one of those times.

Nice. I can't comment about Early Morning route but the other routes are all high quality climbs. There are a lot more routes at WA Pass you would probably like, NW Corner of N Early, Liberty Crack, and Rebel Yell on Chianti come to mind. The Kearny route on Bear would also be a worthy objective. I'd get out to Index as much as possible too - lots of high quality single and multi-pitch moderates. If you're climbing 5.9 at Seneca, you'll probably be solid on 10a or 10b here. Seneca is stout.

Its called the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road.

Cascade Cobbler in Mazama. http://cascadecobbler.com/ James has done 2 pairs my shoes and done excellent work. I've heard this guy does good work and I'm going to give him a try. Ramuta indeed does a good job, but it will be cool to throw the local guy some bizness.

I don't see anything unreasonable about that. Operative language is "confines of a ski area." None of its Alpy's land. As you said, its NSF. "Ski area" would pertain to areas where patrol performs avy control. They should be able to close those areas.

I would like to see the actual language of the bill. I would think it would limit who could be charged to those who are ticket / pass holders. How far does the Alpy ski area extend out the ridge toward the Tooth / Pineapple Pass? The standard route of uphill traffic in the area would go further west of Alpy's purvue I would think.

Nice! I skied the NW Face a couple weeks ago in powder conditions. Cool to see it in a different season.

Looks deluxe! Nice pic's gents.

Nice. Sounds like a great trip. I hear beer is more expensive there than Canada though.

Looks longer and harder than the grade II and III and Ian's a pretty legit dude.

It's been suggested ... by Twight I think.

Danny was a local kid. A strong climber, a prolific skier, and a helluva nice guy. RIP Danny Z. You'll be missed.

You do get around. Indeed.

Run the small hills around your house wearing a weighted pack and duct tape over your mouth.

You're an idiot.

Parts of Ohio have to be a pretty crazy place to be a medic though.

Wow Ohio must really suck to make someone wish they were in Gig Harbor (or Auburn).

a 60 works but a 70 works better.

But are you vegan so you can be morally superior as well?

What a coincidence! Water is also white.
