Some funny shit on this thread.
The yellow schlong got it right the first time. Pretty well established you don't need an adze or even a hammer for that matter.
How do you place/remove pins without a hammer?
-
you can do everything you do with an adze with a pick.
Have you ever chopped a bollard with a pick?

The new wall in North Bend (Torgeson Park) is very kid friendly.
-
If I take screws on Hood or Rainier it is because I am doing a technical route like the North Face or Liberty Ridge so I take 6 screws. For easier routes I generally don't take any screws.

in general, terribly high prices before markdowns.
Oh, but real climbers, the rich ones, don't mind getting fleeced.
Branding = competence.
You are an ass.

How would the Entiat Icefall on Mt Maude be this time of year? Any guesses?

I recall a time when I could do 23 pullups without resting and couldn't get up Libra Crack at Index (a short .10a finger/hand crack)on top rope.
At age 10 my daughter could do laps on Libra Crack and couldn't do a single pull up. She had small hands which were the perfect size for the crack.

Eldorado might be a good option. Is the road open yet?

Nice photos.

I believe what happened was they were trying to raise 150k to build the largest wall in the state but they fell far short of their goal so they built what they could afford.

I couldn't finish watching.

I took a look. It is a nice wall with natural features that remind me of basalt. It is much smaller than originally planned it seems though.

There is always the Tooth, about an hour east of Seattle.

That dude was a colleague of my wife's. She described him as a bit of a hothead.

I have always wondered about the arete. Nice work.

A few years ago, someone did a day climb solo:
1. parked at snow creek
2. ran up the road to colchuck trailhead
3. ran to dragontail peak
4. soloed Serpentine Ridge
5. ran to prusik
6. soloed W. Ridge on prusik peak
7. Ran to snow creek wall
8. soloed outer space
9. ran down to the car at snow creek
I met a guy on Prusik who was doing just that. His name was Aidan. He guides for AAI I think.

I have Edelwiess 8.5 mm sharp and it seems to be a solid rope and has held up well on rock pitches.

Maybe next year reserve the camp site under a church group's name.

I had a long day of my own this summer, Goode in a day.
That is incredible. Did you do the NE Buttress? How did you approach? -
Let's do Little Annapurna then.
-
Anybody want to do a trail run on Sunday or perhaps just hike up and tag Little Anapurna?

Look into Precor. They can be found used on Craiglist.

After suffering for years cramming my widish feet into various La Sportiva boots I recently switched to a pair of Scarpa Summits. Similar in function to LS Nepals. My feet have never been happier.
