Any body climb it lately? if so how is it, and any beta i should know
-
where do you guys go for weather forecasts? Is there a different site for Raineir and the other valcanos, alpine lakes, etc.
-
sweeeeet... didi you reserve permits or do the "loto" thing.
-
i have read so many books on it and am all ready a strong rock climber. They had me help out with instructing basic rock climbing (foot work, chimneying, rappeling, etc) i took the class to learn glacier skills, which i already partially knew from the reading. i just learn better from seeing things, bot reading it.
-
umm considering that i ended up helping teach parts of the class i dont see that as the case.
-
I have learned the basic skills thru a mountaineering course I just finished. However, i dont trust the majority of the people in my class, therefore I am looking for some partners. I have lots of time, and very enthusiastic. Send me a PM if interested. Im wanting to gain real experience ASAP.

sent a pm

never been wannaa go. looking for some one experienced that wants to play "guide" up something mellow. leading 5.8/9 trad comfortablly. so looking for a easy intro route to the area for a day or two. pm im me if you want to....
-
how is that route. i have heard of it but not much
-
still pretty new to trad and multi pitch. made two runs up castle rock in leavenworth. i heard there is big routes around north bend. if so how are the routes and is there a link to were i can check em out... thanks
-
also, are there times when you would use a single piece like a big ass solid tree and just throw a sling around it and call it good or maybe a huge bomber rock horn or flake, or would you always back it up with at least one piece.
-
thanks guys. im feeling much better about it now. i spent the morning at the local crag playing around. it is a scary concept to know that my partners and my own life will be hanging from what i build so its good to get some feed back that im not the only one thats a little scared to start with.
-
So i have read enough books on this topic i should be a pro. im terrified of the thought of hangin off an anchor i have built (not that i place bad pro just scary the first few times.) any good links to building these things for some photos. and how do you guys do it. are you using cordelete ( what im leaning toward) slings the climbing rope, etc.
-
