Captain panther

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

Any of you guys live over there or been there lately? Anything up the Icicle in? Tumwater?

Hey thanks billcoe! I have a friend down in patagonia who wants to develop some routes on some pretty featureless granite at a resort he is building. Also theres a few lines in the Bham/mt baker highway area i want to bolt, one of them is cleaned and i solo'd it but i feel like more people would get on it if it had some bolts...

anyone know if its in? or have any good guesses?

About how long does it take to put in a bolt with a hammer and hand drill?

I might be there sunday. pm me with a number and i'll call you guys if i show up sunday. theres lots of good alpine stuff coming in though

fucking bitchin dude! lookin forward to swingin some tools and skiing with you this winter!

my bad yeah, 1 and 2, and then 3 and 4!

Trip: Prusik Peak - Stanley-Burgner Date: 10/13/2010 Trip Report: My buddy Spencer and I went up for my first trip into the Enchantments to climb the Stanley-Burgner on Prusik's south side. I'd had the the climb in mind for about a year so it was awesome to finally get out and make it happen! Just a note about Asgaard Pass, if youve never been up there before go left and follow the mega-cairns, as we went right and got to do some fun mixed rock/ice scrambling. Other than that the temps are fuckin awesome for climbing right now so get out and send!. This routes is amazing and by far my favorite in leavenworth to date, that last move on the last pitch is wild. I'd just like to say summitpost.org is on crack too, you can rap off that thing with a single rope no problem Gear Notes: we took doubles in c4's from .3 to 3 and one number 4. one 70m rope and a set of nuts. We felt really good with this amount of gear combining pitches 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. Approach Notes: from stuart lake th to just below prusik pass took us 4.5 hours at a brisk pace, then about 30 min in the morning to the base of the climb.

He was a great man and I will miss him immensely. He did alot of great things for the community and Im proud to say I knew the man. He died doing what he loved. RIP Dallas

I've been working too much lately and have June 1-4th off if anyone is interested in climbing anything let me know. I would be down for ice, snow, alpine, craggin, trad, sport, bouldering, whatever. I'd be willing to meet up and drive as far as skaha/squamish or maybe alittle further north, and as far south as smith and trout. Im looking to get some more summits under my belt so that would be preferable but mainly i just want to spend four days not working and hopefully going up something. Heres a few ideas i had: Any route on Rainier Any route on Baker Colchuck routes Triple Couloirs slab daddy safe sex Anything in the Olympics Squamish I lead 10+/11 trad, a little harder sport and wi 4. good all around mountain skills though i would like to refresh some crevasse rescue skills before heading up something thats riddled with crevasses. got a ton of gear too.
