yes RUMR thats mrazek

dude if you got baker lights you got hooked up hardcore. nice tr too

hotel room in skaha with some local strongmen. nothing like getting humbled by dudes twice your age! Mr. Squiggles, sorry only tr photos, i was shitting my pants on lead so my belayer didnt get the regular ass shots

thanks BigSky! I'll try to get on all those!

fuck yeah!

Pretty sure I'll be headed to Hyalite/surrounding areas next week for four days. Any one have any suggestions of what I should get on? Since I've never been there before, I figured I'd see what you guys like the best. I'm ok leading wi4 but might wanna try a 5 or two this trip. oh and moderate multi-pitches would be sick too. I just got a copy of winter dance. What are your guys' top picks for the area?

No, this is what I wanted. I like to get other people's input and see things from every angle possible to help me understand them further. Thanks to all of you guys, I really appreciate it.

holy shit jens, how fast do you drive?

dude fuck college, it will always be there. go adventure now. it'll be alot harder when you have a real job. just make sure you dont get stuck living the easy life, you have to go back and get that degree! go see shit and think about what you really realy wanna do before you waste time and money in college trying to figure out what to study

I wanna ask all you guys out there, and ladies, that are in long term relationships or marriages, how much sacrifice do you all make? how much shit is ok to take? where do you draw the line? when you really love someone, how much do you do for them? and how long do you try before you give up? do you give up? If some big bomb gets dropped and things change between you two, how long do you work on the relationship to fix it before saying "fuck it, im just gonna be married to climbing since shes fucking easy" Any comments would be welcome. CP

damn it! im bummed i missed out on this trip!

SAVAGE! Thats totally classic Washington ice climbing! Glad you guys didnt get hurt, but definitely a badass story!

i agree with telemarker. id love to see some pictures. and i dont mean it to be rude in any way either

peakpimp you know youre already going. i think i might try to wrangle two of my other buddies into going too, but you and i have to! Thanks G-spotter. have you tried it in the winter?

I was thinking about trying Sir Donald sometime this winter and have wondered about climbing other peaks around there, Uto and Eagle among others. Have any of you done the NW ridge or north face in the winter? Any beta? And what is a good guide book for that area?

sweet pic of midnight!

Im in Tacoma and work a WILDLY changing schedule but usually have a couple days in a row off midweek. My car is good for snow and Ive been eyein both those climbs for a couple years now. PM me if you wanna get out

bob, have you been missin out on sheep love lately?

awesome! thanks for the tr!

last i heard from my buddy andy it was pretty snowy on the bottom so i dont have alot of hope but if somebody was as desperate as me for ice i figured id at least ask. the top looks way better than the bottom, we just ran out of light. thanks!

its bad juju to climb on booty gear! and think of how tasty that pbr would be. i just dont have time to drive all the way back up there

Me and Peakpimp bailed off pandome right before the last steep bit. we left a purple sling and gold biner on a tree after traversing right on the lower angled snow in the middle of the two steeper bits. if any is up there and grabs it for us that be badass, i'd even buy you a sixer of pbr tallboys... though i might wanna drink one of em with you

DEAL! i could leave tomorrow night and be back by like 2 or 3 tomorrow if that works for you

I think it would go if you stayed WAY to the right. the sun was on it when we left at 11 and stayed on it the whole time we walked out. I think pro on top would be very difficult and suspect if there was any at all

Trip: Frenchman's Coullee - Frenchman Falls Date: 12/4/2010 Trip Report: Today, Iamgr8r and I headed out to check out Frenchman after seeing Phil's TR and wanting to swing some tools really badly. It was pretty warm down in the coullee, as compared to the frigid temps on the road due to the wind, and the ice was pretty slushy and sketchy. I lead halfway up and decided I would just set up a TR for Iamgr8r to have a few burns since he's pretty new to ice. We climbed till about 11 and then bailed when the sun came out. We checked out everything else around, Arctic Grail and Red-whatever and lots of ice was coming down so it probably wont be any fun until we get a few colder days in a row. Gear Notes: placed two 10s, a 13, and a 16, used a 22 for the vthread Approach Notes: that guide book is kinda whack. if you park way up before the feathers its way closer. i dont know if thats private property or something but its definitely way easier than parking near the feathers
