Only. Hehe. Good work.

noted.

No worries Crillz. Just a problem with guidebook discrepancy. I agree about the walking cam.

If you want to protect the chimney.

Just to add some more stoke. The pitch after the 5.10a/b pitch of HOTC (the one everyone does) is a nice 5.10 overhanging crack that not as many people do. It is definitely worth it. It is possible to do, from the ground up, all of GM and the last half of HOTC, in one huge monster pitch with a 60 m rope.

I know the grade is disputed for sure. I think Breakfast is the hardest thing I did yesterday but HOTC is hard as well. I just need a number 5 for Sag but it is definitely on the list. I don't know Rattletale but I'm looking it up now. Thanks!

5.10b heart of the country (according to Rock Climbing Washington)

umm..whats to hmm at. If anything I should say 5.10a or above. My bad.

Trip: Index Town Wall - Pisces, Breakfast of Champions, Heart of the Count Date: 3/18/2010 Trip Report: Todd and I had a great day of hard climbing with no falls, weights, or other crap. He sent Pisces, the last pitch of Heart of the Country (5.10) and the GNS. I sent the middle pitch of Heart of the Country (10b) , Pisces, and Breakfast of Champions clean. Overall 5 pitches at or above 5.10a. I'll leave it at that. Thanks for reading. What a day for sending. Todd's got a lot more juicy video/photos. Gear Notes: lots of it

Ya that is why I said bad because its a high of something like 40 F at Snoqualmie pass itself.

Bad(?) I haven't been up there in a while though.

"Maybe you could do a mini-fundraiser. A "lemonade" stand in the climbers lot? I bet you'd have that t-shirt in no time! " If by "lemonade" you mean beer you are correct indeed. I'm not sure that is legal though.

I don't have a lot of experience on stationary bikes per se. But I do have a lot of miles on a real bike. It is really hard to do something wrong on a bike, espesially if you aren't on an elite level. For climbing edurance is key, so pile on the mileage (careful about the knee though).

Love the shirt too. Well, I am stingy. I would drop ~30 on the shirt (inflated price presumed to go to the cause). Go for volume.

PM sent day before yesterday.

"How about mental fitness? While watching some of the documentary "Summit on the Summit", I recalled how much of a surprise it can be to newbies that a significant portion of the experience is suffering with wet gear, cold hands and toes, fatigue, physical pain, self doubt, fear of failure etc. Good partners (or guides) will help overcome some of these issues but in the end it may come down to confidence in your preparation and mental toughness." The only way to overcome this is by climbing, preferably in tough conditions, with people you trust.

Nice work- I like that you consider this a short climb with that approach.

You would avoid the crowds.

I'm still thinking about them. I just bought some other double plastics that I am trying to get used to for Denali.

Without knowing the route in detail, I'd venture to say WA.

Please tell me your joking.
