Oh, is that what you call that thing?

I am interested...

Thats a really good suggestion. The Entiat range is awesome!

For info on Ptarmigan Traverse, just google it. There are alot of folks here who have done it and have posted TRs on this site and elsewhere (such as http://www.mountainwerks.org/alexk/climb/TRPtarmigan03a.htm [thump thump]). However, I agree with Forrest...this is a great ramble but does have at least some moderate glacier travel.

The stars are a direct measure of wit and intelligence...this thread has little of either.

dang i'd start going to Pub Clubs if Marie and archenema showed up at them!

It is currently in final stage of production, will be released shortly. Thanks, Alex

probably not. a good next set of climbs would be S ridge of Ingalls E ridge of Ingalls S Face of the Tooth - a great route despite the beating it takes on this site Beckey Route on Liberty Bell N Face of Kangaroo Temple W Ridge of North Twin Sister ...there are many others, search the guidebooks

i've only seen the cable break on a really short leader fall, not under body weight

Colin did

mike, teach them to say abseil and "secure!"

sounds like a bad first date in the making

Last great problem in the Cascades

oh. um,......

Bad First Dates

seems that puke and memorable first dates go hand in hand, though?

.

One of my first dates with this one short chick was seam-sealing the Portaledge. We hung this thing in her living room from a hook in the ceiling and proceeded to drink like a case of beer. She puked at work all the next day. I says to myself "yup, this is a keeper!"

For a chick who wont even kiss on the first date, you sure expect a lot.

a drunken error. clearly she wants you now. i remember Colin having really cool braids too,....

i never said that, i just dont plan on relaxing until i am old, my body is broken, my kids are hatched, and its time to learn how to golf-spielen.

relaxing is for retirement.....?

Does a box of chardonnay count? D'oh. Of course there will be beer. and and under the stars You get extra points if you take a collapsable spin-casting rig and teach the tykes how to bring home the dinner. Mmmmm sunfish!

Muir is a longer route than Fuherer Finger, which routeinely gets done in around 14 hours. If speed is your game, you might consider that route since it is a shorter route.
