Bump

Anyone wanna climb in leavenworth or index on Friday? Can lead 9s low 10s trad high 10s sport. Vern

bump...was thinking about getting up there but with the warm weather what do people think?

moral to the story quit your job or drop out of school and leave Washington

That picture of Colchuck is from the 4th!?!?!?!

Yea always cool to watch the falcons fly by below when climbing!

Pandome looked good last week but im sure its covered in snow now... Nothing any where remotely in around Stevens, Chandelier some ice but not climbable to much afternoon sun... Skinned the 4 miles up Money Creek Road to get a look at Lenox... covered in snow...The most recent photos looked good from a few weeks ago so there still may be some hope this season...I put a skin track up the road if anyone cares to go... I doubt anyone thought that there would be ice in but now you know... On a side note the boarding was good and the pits I dug around skyline ridge looked a lot better than I was expecting...I would just go get some turns in...store the ice tools unless you wanna drive north...get the rock gear ready to go...

Where is this at?

Bump for conditions report...

Saturday

A good sized avalanche came down off the North West Couloir on Mt Shuksan the other day and I managed to get a picture of it off the WSG. Thought I would share.

There is no need to endorse or perpetuate sport-climbs at crack-friendly Index. There are plenty of such climbs at Exit 38, Little Si, (off of I-90 out of North Bend) or other chossy monstrosities. Resist the clip-ups and keep it clean. That's the future. Clean gear is history. Bolts, and the Boltomatic 2012 are the future. Embrace. please not another bolt thread!

No name crag...information here http://www.mrbills.org/No_Name_Wall.htm

Little bit more thread drift but the slings on top of snag buttress could be replaced before they are to tight around the tree, dont want to hurt the good rap tree. Next time I am up there ill replace them but if anyone is up there before me it would be nice to see them replaced/loosened. On a side note felt warm up there today in a t shirt. Main wall west was nice and dry.

48.45363, -122.62926

i dont have the quads right now should be out there some time next week so i can get them...the easiest way is to go to the top park walk down the road about 300' or so...there is a small parking area here about 3 cars can fit (you can also park here) follow the trails south and west down the mountain...you going to go under some powerlines along the way...you are close keep going west along the top of the cliff band and you should see some gullies down, they can be pretty steep but short...i know this is not the best description ill look at the gps and see if i can find something better...pick yourself up the print out book at the mt erie store its about 5 bucks and can be useful

Yea all week it looked like today was gonna be the day to get out but that didnt work out. looks like next week could have some nice days

Trip: Mt. Erie - Powerline wall Date: 1/23/2011 Trip Report: Got out to Mt. Erie yesterday was a little damp and mossy, normally want a full day to dry things out but had to get out climbing. It was 50 and but felt warm and climbing was no problem. Just thought i would give an update. Approach Notes: Drive to top walk down

Guessing its out but anyone been up there to take a look?

Dane, Any way you can give a comparison between NeoShell and GoreTex Active shell?

Dane, When is neoshell expected to be out?

Thanks Dane good stuff

newbie's attack!

I would expect nothing less! heard rainbow falls and some millenium climbs are in. Should be cold next week. Pandome and also some stuff out at alpental was in a little before the last warm up, dont know now. Get after it Josh! Looking forward to pictures and an epic story like always!!!
