That's what I did, and you're right. (however, comparing my quarks to carbon fiber prophets, I think the CFBPs would still get swung.)

did they fix the screen cracking problem? $200 seems like a rather steep price for 1-2 weeks worth of usage...

spoken like someone who'd know? WEST RIDGE ROCKS DONKEY BALLS! Didn't miles smart climb the Full North ridge w/ gendarme a little faster or slower than Guy? Something like 6:30 car to car. Search the site, there is info on here somewhere about it..

I think the west side road is history. It'll just keep washing out unless they build something super. Personally, I like it just how it is out there... remote! I read once that all visitors to Yosemite travel, on average, 100ft from their cars on their whole trip.

but sky, if you climb baker, you can't go and TELL THE WORLD that you climbed the highest peak in washington!!!! people can have different stances from you, but JEEZ what were you thinking???

I'm sure you feel his pain, eh paul?

so it sounds like the hole for the axle is in the wrong spot? Problem one: Regular:

Ryan- Thanks for sharing that. To answer your question, most helicopter rescues in Washington are carried out by the military (MAST). This is not always true on Rainier, or in the north cascades ntnl park. I believe it is a policy of MAST not to recover dead bodies (at all) as it endangers the crew without the possibility for acutely helping a human life. But not everything is hard and fast, and as such, most bodies are flown out anyways.

thanks for the tools marshall!

Are you guys rapping on a single strand of rope and using the cord to retrieve a jammed knot (at the anchor) or having both strands go through the device?

Nice to see ya back on the horse Greg! Skiing this winter?

Hope so, they seem to have them around the end of oct/early nov. I doubt I'll come close to the money this year, y'all are too strong

dang it, what would the kids at stone gardens think of this???!!! a travesty! get back up there with your tooth brush and start SCRUBBIN!

just to note, on the second pitch we did a 5.9 variation pitch (very nice) that goes up and left above the piton belay. The regular way goes up and right through some wider 5.8 cracks...

Wicked job Jens and Loren! I can't believe you guys went back for that after the first time. awesome!

can you post a link to the item? couldn't find it on their site

The bolt that this draw is clipped to? I though that one of those two had been replaced already with stainless 3/8"??

wicked video michael!

Nice job on your 'first' alpine climb Mike! I think it's generally known that while the lower ridge doesn't have the quality clean rock of the upper ridge, the aesthetics of climbing the "whole feature" definitely make it worth it. Plus, I thought the 2nd pitch hand/finger crack varriation was killer. Glad to hear Yuko didn't hurt herself on that gendarme fall

Did anyone get to play with one of these at the OR show? looks like they're making another version of the monster that's suited a little more for waterice. Looks cool, wonder what they'll retail for? When will they be available to the public? http://www.grivel.com/Products/Dettaglio_piccozze.asp?ID=21

exasperator? like bret said having taken a 60+ foot slab fall, "No slab will ever scare me again"

sky: you're crazy. nice work! Marble Creek cirque is so beautiful and wild. looking down into the massive drop of forrest and devils club inspires one to climb up and out! great TR on your site. so how did you like the west arete on the way out?
