  1. Yeah, just keep the line pretty taught. Shouldn't be too bad. If you're using a reverso or ATC guide you can always rig a prusik/z-pully setup and haul your second up. The traverse isn't too bad if it's been dry for a few days. I've done this climb in February with a small waterfall dripping down on your head at the belay at the top of the first pitch. (lol). Definitely makes it more interesting. Also, don't fall before the first bolt or that tree stump will rip you a new one! haha. Anyone know any other multi-pitches at 32/38? I've been trying to find places to train people in bigger climbs w/o driving out to leavenworth or index...
  2. Nice work! I love the picture of Tad at the Forbidden summit! lol.
  3. lol. Thanks! You can scramble/free-solo to the tree pretty easily from the base. Whiskey/beer is on me if you find it!
  4. We are pretty sure we lost our Trango Cinch at the first belay tree of Orbit at Snow Creek Wall yesterday (07/20/10). We are broke students and would love to get it back! Many thanks.
  5. lol. by cheap beer, i'm assuming you're referring to the case of rainiers in my trunk?
  6. I'm spending the next few days in Leavenworth and might try to get some work done on the laptop after climbing all day. Anyone know good cafes/pubs with wifi (BESIDES starbucks) that are open late? I don't remember if uli's or drakes have it...
  7. I'm looking to pick up a rope for doubling up rappels and possibly hauling. For now we've been using a second lead line, and it's much much heavier than I want to pack up. Do folks have suggestions? Something lightweight and versatile. Static? 8-9mm? What do you use?
  8. Nevermind. Just got back from retrieving it. Phew! Scrambling/downclimbing is a lot easier during the day! lol.
  9. It was beautiful out there for most of yesterday, no clouds until the evening. Forecast says partly cloudy today. If there was any precipitation last night it was very light. I'm sure you'll be fine at most (if not all) of the north bend crags. Go climb!!
  10. My friend and I had to bail off of the west face of Guye Peak late Thursday night. On the last rappel, we left our rope (to do a full length past the scramble). If anyone feels like hauling it up the climb or taking it down with them, we'd love you forever, and I would buy you plenty of beer. Funny story, someone saw our headlamps as we were rappelling in the dark (thinking it was an SOS signal) and called SAR for us. They met us at the talus field and hiked out with us. Though we didn't need the assistance, I'm glad those guys are out there. Plus we appreciated the water and snacks! Props to KingCoSAR!
