Took some friends up to the tooth on sunday night for a spectacular viewing of the lunar eclipse. However, on the way down one of my half ropes got stuck when pulling the rappel. On first pitch of southface. It was late, and my party wanted to get home It's a green sterling 8.4mm Might be a long shot, but let me know if you're heading up that way or know of anyone going out there. Thanks, Pieter

Looking to get into something on sat. Ice, dry tooling, alpine. Open for a long day push. Let me know if anyone has any ideas or would like to brainstorm some objectives. -pieter

I'm looking to get into something tech sat as well. I saw a hand full of people posting. I'll shoot some pm's later tonight when I'm not using my phone.

Got 'em. Thanks for the rope Dave!

Hey guys. Left a pair of twin ropes (orange/green) to the right of r&d on icicle buttress. They got stuck rapping. Going to try and free them up tomorrow. If by some off chance anyone decides to climb this late season and is able to recover the ropes, hit me up. or if anyone is wiling to lend a rope to rap off the top tomorrow (Jan 1st) , let me know. pdepapae (at) g (dot) Clemson (dot) edu Thanks, pieter

Hey, Partners plans feel through for this weekend, and looking for someone to get out and do something with. If you have any ideas or looking for a partner, let me know. Down for BC skiing, rock, ice, snow, whatever... Looks like its warming up and ice might be out of the question. -Pieter

PM sent.

Last minute. But I'll be heading up to Camp Muir tomorrow afternoon. Possible summit bid on Sunday morning.

Just looking for anything this weekend. Located in Tacoma. Let me know. Have all my own gear. Thanks. -Pieter

What route?

As the title says, I'm down for anything this weekend. I have Sat and Sunday free. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Looks like weather should be pretty good starting thursday. I have work off. I'm really down for anything. Alpine(although avy conditions might be iffy) or craging (drytooling?) Let me know. (I also have this weekend free) -Pieter

Looking like a good weather window this weekend 3/15-3/18. Edit: Never mind. Iffy weather.

We went up Monday. Lots of fresh snow at higher elevations. Got to the base of the climb and didn't see much ice. Lots of lose snow though.

Looks like were having a nice high pressure system moving in. Anyone interested in Rainier this weekend? Gib ledges. Shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the info Alex! I was able pitter around at the Blackice drytooling crag today.

Kiddie Cliff was still "in" last weekend. two decent lines up it. A lot of snow/spin drift and a lot of ski traffic. Definitely be weary of avy conditions. Also, Montypiton and I found some decent ice in the icicle canyon area a couple of weeks ago. Up the snow lakes trail approximately 4 miles, towards Nada falls. Maybe he can chime in. ~WI4, brittle, 2 pitches, we explored a few more rope lengths up but didn't find any ice worth climbing. Tentatively named "four-mile falls". Here's some footage: [video:vimeo]59370715

Any good recommendations for beginner dry tooling areas? (I just moved to the area) Would like to start with TR; Near Tacoma/Seattle. Anything good off of Exit-38? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank's guys.

Hey guys, New to the area, and would love to get onto some ice. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to drag along a newbie? I have all my own gear, and would really just like to get on some top rope. Great belay slave, and love long walks on the beach. Just wanting to get out there. I'm proficient in technical rock and alpine climbing, but never been on technical ice. This Sunday or Monday would be great (weather permitting). Let me know if anyone is willing. Thanks.

I've been using PowerDirector by cyberlink and It's been great. (For PC). It's pretty simple, runs smooth, and gets the job done. I'm still using an older version (9 I believe). But here's a link to their newer products: Cyberlink PowerDirector And here's a simple video edit of mine, if you're interested. 1st gen Hero HD and PowerDirector 9. [video:vimeo]28234510
