Thanks alot folks, that gives me something to go on. Btw, the people in the lower right of Piston's photo look like toy soldiers.

I just happen to be eating scrambled eggs at the moment, and it made me laugh. Anyway, I will be camping in Leavenworth with the wife for a week, and would like to introduce her to some easy/moderate scrambles. I don't know the area well and would like to know if anyone had some thoughts or a guidebook to recommend. I am mostly looking for done in a day endevours (because of the permit lottery thing). Help me move the spouse into class 3! Thanks

Ed- email me with what you have in mind. Fairly open schedule. downwithsatoriATyahooDOTcom

Honestly, anything. Sauk Mt, Hidden Lake, Pilchuck, whatever. I generally like to avoid snowmobiles, but beyond that I'm not picky. It doesn't really have to be a summit either, I'm down just to get out.

Not confident on skis yet, but would love to get out on snowshoes. Anything large or small, including boring slogs. Anything to get out! Have every other fri-wed off so my schedule is pretty open. Pm or downwithsatori(AT)yahoo(DOT)com

after talking to a couple people at Baker (the first of which admitted to not even working there and hung up after 5 solid minutes of WTF conversation) it sounds like I'll be able to get a lesson there. Snoqualmie is a bit far but they have killer prices (160 bucks for 6 weeks). And i sent ya a pm shapp

Wanting to get into tele this season, got some mad cheap gear online. As someone with plenty of snowboard experience and NO skiing experience, I'm looking for an area to learn to turn in. Although I'm not at all above getting lessons, there doesn't seem to be anyone who offers tele lessons. I would just rather not head up to baker and get in everyones way. Anyone know a good low angle spot that I could work out the movements in? Strong hiker with good partner. Thanks!

Plus, if you join, you may get to meet the elusive Islee (pronounced "Eye Lee"), who was born out of the same volcano as Chuck Norris.

I met a guy a couple of weeks back at clayton beach who told me he was ready to make an offer on a building on kansas street, I forget his name and the name of the gym though. Hoping to hear something about it soon.

I have something to add. I had pandora on, so I watched your vid to "Gracefully Facedown" by The Devil Makes Three. And it was awesome. Either way, strong work.

Is that Robert Downy Jr? Looks like a killer day, I'd love to get on that route.

7:30 sounds good. Never been to the Green Frog, looked it up and it sounds pretty killer. Certainly plenty to drink

I'll be there, looking forward to meeting you all. No beard, no glasses Tall, grey beanie. Should we ballpark a time?

Also in for bham/erie/wherever. Hurray for summer!

Thats funny, we were down there as well, I commented on the van as you guys drove past.

4 total, all from Erie. Climbed there all last summer, never got one. Been climbing in jeans lately, seems to have stemmed the tide

I'll be at mt. erie as long as the weather holds (which may not even be tomorrow). But, if it is "nice" out (anything but rain) and you want to climb out there, give me a call, I'm down for anything. 360-840-8276 -AK

Will be up there most of the day tomorrow (monday) if anyone wants to join. I've got my own rope and gear, will probably be climbing mild trad or toproping something. give me a call 360-840-8276 AK

True, had a great day at clayton beach yesterday, warm and dry. Wasn't thinking about ticks yet, that's a good point.

I should post my work schedule, as it seems to be fairly reliable that it only is dry on days I work

Weather says it's going to rain, but it has said that all week and we got 2 good days up there out of it. If it's dry tomorrow or sunday, I'll be heading over there to kick around some mild stuff. I'm down to TR, clip bolts, or maybe do some easy trad (zig-zig!), I have all my own gear and a car. There were NO other climbers up there earlier this week, so I'm hoping that will continue. Any interest hit me up on here. -AK

The wife and I will be in J Tree from Dec12th-15th, looking to do some fun moderates and just camp out. Let me know if you want to link up. We have our own gear/car/beer but would be glad to kick it with someone else in the area. -Austin

Friday through tuesday or wednesday, if there is dry rock to be had, I'll be lookin for a partner. Have rope, ride, and sport gear. I usually go to erie for moderate stuffs but up for anything. downwithsatori@yahoo.com is a better way to reach me.

Looking for someone wanting to do mild climbs at Mt. Erie this sun/monday, or any day really. Have rope/sport gear. Limited trad stuffs. My climbing buddies moved to Argentina! Downer.
