looks like it will be nice. I heard lowe has MS, do you know if thats true?

i agree with kayfire but really who cares?

thats f-ing funny

the diamond bear mt,north norweigen butress,mongo ridge although beckey gives this a grade V

the two-three true gd VI havent been done enough or ever to get a consensus on the grade. the two biggest factors would be technical aid grade/mandatory free climbing grade and escape due to weather or injury. [and i guess also how far from a road or trailhead]and yes thin red line may get done fast but only by the elite free/aid climbers but the overall grade is based on a average climbing party which is still probibly 2+days.

the 97 east face?

yes roger strong i believe but they didnt go to the summit or even the top of the wall?[8 pitches vs 23 pitches on doorish route] i didnt know nnb was climbed again.nice

is it somthing on willis wall?

a climb is normaly given a grade by the first ascent party so its that

june 1967

since no one has repeated dorishes diamond wall and norwiegen butt, whos to say?

somebody should do the second ascent

I-B? no, its probibly nn butress index. and as far as the tooth it would have to be in winter

you would think employees in the private sector would use the gov. as an baseline of where their pay/benifits should be not wanting the gov employees to go downward just like the private sector has. I know companies used to have pensions?

it kind of looks like it could be a huge chockstone from below, but its actually a large cave. its the first gully on the right of the access gully to nyg. about the rating i dont know what you mean, is it to complicated? until it gets climbed a few times to get a cencus on the rating. its 95% snow and ice so? [its a becky II+ and a new school III]

you still have a few things to learn if you think that today performance is more important to get and keep a job than how you present yourself and who are your friends. your right, i do have a lot to learn

hey, im not saying theres not some lazy/bad gov employees, just like in the private sector,and It is harder to get rid of them but on the flip side, it can work for you.example-if your boss just dosent like you personaly, you have protection against him just fireing you for nothing to do with the job

right on, im sure i would be hired again because im good at what i do

yes i am a bad speller, my job dose not reqiure that much computer/paper work. im not entitield, i worked 20+ years in the private sector but they[gov] offered me something better, its the american way. and if a private company offered me better yet im sure i would go their. and in case you couldnt comprehend, i said i did ask and get 4-6 weeks off in the privant sector

well skrew it then, let all the criminals go, close the libaries cut education to the bone,close any welfare/social programs, let em fend for themselves in fact everybody fend for themselvs!

Im a government employee and all my freinds/family make more than i do. yes i have good medical coverage but ive always made sure who i work for does and we all should have some form of medical coverage job or no job. yes i take vacations. fuck if Im going to apoligize for that. I also made sure my previous employers new i would need 4-6 weeks off per year paid or not. we americans take way to little vacations 2 weeks!average yes i have a pension plan but they slowly been eating away at that so i do suplement it with my own $

jerzy would have sat out all night until it got done then chewed on some gravel for breakfast. i need my coffee. yes wayne its out because i dont know if ill ever lead the pitch? but i think ill give it one more go, or bring someone with me thats good. though it is kind of late/warm. with a more typical snow year it may be a little easier[start it higher]

yea he and my bro don are my secret weapons, they excell at that type of thing

i did have my camera but i didnt take any. solo pictures are pretty lame. i do have some from 93 but there on slides, i wouldnt begin to know how to post them here?

Trip: nw face w satilite peak mt snoqualmi - central park gully gd II+-III A-I3+R+ M4/5R+? Date: 2/23/2010 Trip Report: in feb 1993 myself and steve wick climbed up to below the large cave on the upper 1/3 of the couloir. the 1st pitch climbs a 75+ ice/snice smear to a chockstone belay on the left or a tree belay up and right. then follow the corner[60-70degree] until the cave. above the cave is a straitforward 50 degree snow couloir. in 93 we bailed. on tuesday 2-23-10 i downclimbed and rapped to the base of the cave intent on rope soloing the crux pitch to finish it.it starts on the right side of the cave on near vertical rock[pro difficult]for 30 feet then mellows to 65 degrees with nice sticks.well i couldnt lead it so i top-ropped it and then rappled the rest of the couloir fixing some anchors on the way. the crux pitch still needs a proper lead, maybe when feeling stronger? it will be a bold lead. the climbing over-all is really good but protection is difficult to find, although the anchors are solid but you do have to search for them. I doubt it will become popular?. if anyones done it already let me know? m.preiss Gear Notes: 1 60 meter rope two would be nice if rappeling but i did it w/one. 8-10 pins thin-1 inch full set nuts and tricams and a few cams.1-2 ice scews shorties? Approach Notes: same as new york gully, its the left most gully on the satilite peak with an obvious large cave. 4-5 pitches + 300 ft upper couloir
