Who wants to climb something wed/thur. I love index and was pass willing to rock out anywhere.. I live in seattle and have ropes and have racks. Due to an incident last Tuesday I have no mechanized transport. So, pretty much we can beat on my gear, I'll split gas and buy you lunch. Could leave Tuesday afternoon/evening. Let me know what you think. pulda015 at gmail dot com

WHOA RAD TR MAN!!!! Looks oddly similar to the TR for the trip to patagonia I never took.

Gone

Cash or trade. I tried em on and they were a bit tight. Thought they'd stretch, but just too narrow for my feet and make them cramp. Looking for cash or trade..... I need a #6 but am open to offers for gear or $$$. I prefer a seattle pickup but am open to anything. Just pm me and I'll pm or email back.

The sun went away.... but its still dry....

okay, even north bend will do.

the sun is out. anyone from seattle want to roll to index?

Unfortunately I have to go into work tue/wed.

Looking for someone to get out on some rock with thursday and or friday 4/3-4/4 Have rope and doubles to #4. Waking up after a shoulder injury finally.... so I'm stuck leading 5.8/5.9 max, but will follow 9+/10 or belay on ever.... Anyone interested? PM me or reply here.... im in seattle.

I sprained my shoulder, possible rotator cuff tear and was too broke and without insurance to take care of it or get it looked at besides resting it for the past 5 months. It feels great, but I'm planning for an awesome trip in June and will be somewhat remote so I don't want to take the chance of it being weak and snapping it completely, if its partially torn. I'm starting up training again and would love to have it looked at now that my insurance kicked in. Can anyone recommend a good doctor for shoulder injuries in the seattle area? Maybe one who climbs and understands these things and the strain that can be put on it?

Sorry man, I'm in Seattle, or I'd totally show you some stuff. I don't own a car either, or I'd just take you out to Vantage or something. These people on here who are saying, that asking for teacher is basically asking for something for nothing are damn fools. I had this response 2 years ago when I wanted to start getting into climbing. I was lucky enough to run into a person on here that actually does more than armchair climbing. Guess what the pay off was for him teaching? He now has another climbing partner for life, that he knows plays the game by his rules etc...... why??? because he took the time to teach and expand the sport. That being said, if you drive and feel like having an easy session on Mt. Erie, or hard session at Index (when the rock is dry) and feel like picking me up, I'll get you started, and probably get you introduced to some more people. PM me if you're interested

Is there anyone from seattle Looking to climb something, anything tomorrow and/or friday? Just coming off nursing a trashed shoulder thats kept me weak for the past 3-4 months, so my leading anything over 5.6-5.7 is sketch. But willing to follow up to .9's or .10s depending on length and area, willing to belay on anything. don't care if its cragging or whatever. Index? Vantage? leavy? 32/38? in order of preference. I'm also looking to learn aid. I have a rope and 1.5 racks as well as gas money. I'm jonesing here, someone help me get a little fix. PM me here, or pulda015@gmail.com for a faster response. I'll get back to you ASAP tonight and will wake up before the sun.

Anyone want to part with a copy or know where i can find one?

and if no one wants to get that done, how about hunt down some elusive wide cracks at index..... or maybe somewhere better that you know of? being summer it must involve granite or some wierd sandstone i dont know about.

Looks Burly, anyone in seattle wanna go get this thing knocked off?

Want to climb the tooth, but am not quite into hiking all that way with full rack to climb 2 mediocre pitches...... can I get away with a couple sets of nuts and maybe a couple large hex's and a gym rope?? What would you recomend as a minumum rack for 5.8ish leader or 5.10 index follower......

anyone interested in climbing the 5.7 corner up beacon rock in seattle? With a car? I have rope, rack, gas money etc...... would be able to go on the 26th or 27th. Send me a PM,

are you around the seattle area? got a car? How much have you climbed? Would need to get out for a day or two somewhere...fun, leavy or erie or something for some tamer trad and MP before we start tackling shitty gullies and longer routes together.. i'm off wed-fri at the moment

Is this Mark? I might have met you at index. I'm stoked on Darrington as well, and actually carry topo of dreamer and slab daddy with me at all times.

In seattle and free these days, would love to get out in the sun while its here. I have rope/rack/gas money if anyone is interested in getting out. I don't even care if your just starting out. I'm thinking exit or erie is most convenient... would prefer erie so I can get a little bit of trad in, but anything works..... also interested in getting up the tooth if anyone is down for a hike.... just email me @ pulda015@gmail.com and I will get back to you asap when I'm awake, or before thursday, whichever works.

Still looking to do the tooth? I'm seattle with nothing to do tuesday and have been looking to get on this one for a while. Would like to lead at least one of the variations. Have rope/rack.

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion—even your elitist, non-inclusive view of mountaineering. Everyone who wishes to venture into the mountains should be able to, even if they don't possess the requisite skills to complete their journey safely and, thus, desire the company of a certified guide. Go to the mountains and enjoy their good tidings!" So..... should the NPS put wheelchair accessible ascent gullies on every mountain, so lazy overweight walmart powerchair users can also experience the mountains? When I started last year, I assumed that starting small and getting bigger and bigger as my knowledge, fitness, and comfort in the environment went up. I thought the mountains were something to be earned, not something you just throw a check at and get a free ride to the top with..... guess I've been doing it all wrong.

Usually i tend to take everything literally as well, but I'm guessing (hoping) that was sarcasm.

probably have a partner but need a ride. just seeing if anyone was heading that way and I could tag along for gas share, stupid stories or cooking tips? if this fails, anyone want to try and find some dry rock tomorrow?

yeah, I hope someone will let it go for less than amazon retailers want. If you're in the Seattle area, I'd love to hear from you if you have.
