Captain panther

well let me know when you wanna head out jens!

was up there yesterday, 1/4, to do chair but my partner got sick so we bailed. however i did notice that flow reversal looked thin as fuck but doable. bryant butress was fat. and kiddie cliff was looking good too. sorry no pictures, my camera died in leavenworth, god rest its soul, its seen terrible things. oh and alp 1-4 were thin but there were people on them on the far left

yeah its still the same. stay at the mile 0 like alex said. when are you gonna be there?

noice! next time peakpimp, next time...

what a worthless piece of shit person

hey shit dude i forgot to tell you. sorry late notice again. going to leavenworth tomorrow for three days! come along!

sick mike

check out west coast ice by don serl if you can get a copy of it. but hope is close, prolly not in. theres some stuff up on whistler too, but im not very familiar with those climbs. squamish and lytton too. where are you coming from? theres alot of stuff right off the road on highway 20 if youre coming from the south

leavenworth is paradise. bellingham is fucking phenomenal too. everything you want within a short drive and some of the best climbing anywhere. bham is sweet since you're so close to squamish and leavenworth. right next to baker for skiing all year. huge biking community up there too. and close to good ice in the winter.

i just wanna say i like when the soccer moms and rich old cougars come in. one of the few perks, aside from prodeals. aint nothing wrong with a hot old lady

thanks!

it looks like eastern washington? banks lake maybe?

where's punchbowl?

hey hoodrat, thats seems unlikely. i work there nearly everyday and we've had two copies of the new squish guidebook on the shelves that havent moved in a month and the smith rock book is definitely there. though i will admit aside from myself not many of the other employees climb. its pretty sad really, we've got people that have never tied in telling people which shoes and harnesses are the best for them!

thanks guys. justin, does that approach ever not such? that thing is quite the adventure when its wet! ive never seen clay ball up like that before

Anyone been there lately? is it all snowy or can i still climb?

Trip: McClellan Butte - North Couloir Date: 12/22/2010 Trip Report: Went up to solo the Butte today, something I've wanted to climb for a long time since I look at it everytime I come back from Leavenworth. The snow was actually pretty fucking good the whole way up until about the last approx. 200 feet, which was flat out wallowing hell. Theres a few fun little steps of water-ice and whenever you get bored you can just climb the walls of the couloir to spice it up a bit! I took a look at the mixed pitch at the top and the dihedral looked pretty bad so I searched for other options. Everything up there is pretty much the same: 6-10 inches of snow over blank rock with some enticing looking ice that turns out to be really scary and aerated. So after like 20 feet of my pons skittering left and right and not looking much better above, I turned tail, like a lttle bitch, and post holed back to my pbrs stashed in the snow at the bottom. There's actually ICE up there! steps are kicked, go get it! That first picture is some WIE, as in EXTREME! beta alert: There's a hidden branch jug up on your left Gear Notes: pons and tools, misery-shoes for the approach wouldntve hurt. Approach Notes: flotation wouldve been nice. if i were better at skiing i wouldve skied down that bitch, if youre a good skier itd be sick! oh yeah, watch out for the ultra-pothole on road 55

i work there. i agree they totally suck as a climbing store now. but you cant fault them for being a good business, they make a shit ton of money selling soccer moms arcteryx shells that only get used between the suburban and safeway. and who among you dirtbags hasnt abused the shit out of that return policy? i know i have. i'd say rei is a shitty climbing store now yes, but they dont suck at what they do. and i bitch to my managers everyday that we dont sell anything cool anymore but to no avail!

super short notice i know, but does anyone wanna go tomorrow? im coming from tacoma. i have nothin better to do tomorrow, how bout you? call me or pm, ill check back in an hour or so and tomorrow before i leave around 430 or 5am. adam 253 353 6863
