Thanks for the replies. I will be going trail running on Saturday (10/23), sometime between 8:30 and 9:00 either on Cougar or Tiger. E-mail me if you are interested in hooking up. Maybe we can get a cc.com trail run going. bighurtbob@hotmail.com

I like that people are including their favorite climbs, not necessarily their hardest climbs.

NW Ice Couloir, Eldorado (in icy condition) Outer Space-Orbit link up N Ridge of Forbidden Liberty Ridge, Mt Rainier Thin Red Line, Liberty Bell

Two thumbs up to Ian and Second Ascent. He helped me buy a new pair of slippers and was very, very patient. Lots of sweet looking ice gear to be had now, too.

Climb a 5.6 twice.

My first climbing partner had a TNF Steep Tech Jacket, yellow and black. The thing weighed about 5 pounds. It had internal 'armor' (no kidding!) to protect the lumbar and kidney areas in case of a bad ski crash. He wore for riding his motorcycle. It had more zippers than a 1980's break dancer's outfit.

I am going for a trail run on Sunday morning around 8:00 am. Possible venues include Tiger, Cougar, Granite or open to ideas. Anyone care to join me? Please e-mail bighurtbob@hotmail.com

Hugh Herr's?

Mycology = mushroom hunting?

I will be going for a trail run saturday morning at 8:00. Anyone care to join me? Tiger, Cougar, Granite Mountain, etc. I expect to go for 2-3 hours. Wazzumountaineer is not invited. He's too fast. Please email bighurtbob@hotmail.com

Time to renew the gym membership.

Chris, I have an old guide book written by Jason Henrie from when we went to school together. You are welcome to it, I'll try to get it in the mail this weekend. Dan

Rossi is sleazy. Really sleazy. He is a tool alright.

Song lyrics. Apparently that doesn't fly over there.

I was the first.

Ummm, I have worn my precip on two Alaskan 'expeditions' and continuously for two and half years in the Cascades. Its plenty waterproof. Do you expect it to rain while at high altitude? I wore an ever less water proof, lighter jacket for four years (two winter ascents of Rainier) and one Alaskan trip before my Precip.

Marmot Precip.

I estimate the couloir is 1200 feet. When Paco and I did it last year we did it in 7 full 60 meter pitches. We spent maybe 6 hours in the couloir. We had very icy conditions.

Down to 47 lbs? What were you carrying, spare rocks?

Looks like a found a partner. Thanks to all who responded.

Looking for a partner for one day this weekend. Open to ideas but WA Pass, Prusik Peak, cragging in Leavenworth appeal to me. If interested please email: bighurtbob@hotmail.com

I bet.

Marmot makes a full side zip with their Precip fabric.

Arc'Teryx Hybrid jackets are on sale at REIOUTLET.COM for < $40.00. They are a bit heavier than the Wild Things, but lighter than the Marmot Dryclime.

Can someone tell me where the trail head for the Cave Ridge Trail on Mt Snoqualmie is? Thanks
