You really know how to open yourself up to a broadside, dontcha?

supercooled air is coming down from the troposphere! you only have minutes to live! start burning the books!

I don't see any boulder problems in these pictures???

he's just trying to keep the FA stash for hisself, kinda like all of us would do

overkill for Rainier for sure.

Anyone here think Alpinfox may have climbed in AZ once or twice? Anyone think he's planning on going back soon?

I am going to walk across the frozen Puget Sound to Bainbridge!

Not the snow, melt, then freeze: we need a hard RAIN, THEN a hard freeze. Like a Pineapple Arctic Express Train Wreck!

As an aside, its always interesting to see where these thread resurrections lead. I believe the post I made that started this thread was the first post I ever made on cc.com!

You clearly haven't lived there. The Rat is what it is: a place for underage lifties to get hammered.

Bug, with these temps it will be for sure. Also, there is little snow up there right now go git it b4 it gets buried.

I dont know if anyone has ever climbed it either, it has certainly been attempted though, and watched for a very long time.

...and even worse than that, you know the weather wont be this nice again until June 15th, 2006....

kind of looks like the area around silverstar, like the first part of Vasliki Ridge. But since jordop is posting it it must be in BC somewhere, eh?

I'd suggest you make your decision partially on your working arrangements. If you have to/want to commute to the East side daily to work (like across a bridge or sumfin'), living anywhere North of the Ship Canal bridge and dealing with 520 is certain death. If you have no such constraints, you're in better shape. I've lived in Cap Hill, First Hill, Eastlake, Wallingford, Mt Baker, and Seward Park and worked in Fremont and Ballard; I think the Eastlake neighborhood takes the cake.

If you buy them to burn them, please pay full price!

Gary, we got in an accident Christmas day with our Toyota. We had a 1.89$ roll of duct tape and a single hefty bag to work with; the patch over the rear window lasted the entire trip to Banff, including -30C temps and the 60-75mph drive to Banff and back to Seattle with only 1 spot retaped the entire time. There seemed to be a couple keys: the surface doesnt have to be warm when you tape, but should be as warm as possible and has to be absolutely dirt free. Clean the surface as best you can, warm up the tape as best you can, warm the surface as best you can (inside a garage for a few hours, or a shake-n-warm applied as you tape, or an XGK/canister stove held at a safe distance). That said, Nashua brand model #357 duct tape is well worth the money spent if you can find it. Stock up.

did you check out the new guidebook that Mountaineers books published last year?

well, I can do yard work, 1 out of 7 isnt bad....?

no moderate dry tooling however, a stick clip will get you up at least one of the routes if you are not up to leading. There is a fixed rope on one of the projects that usually gets really iced up, but if it isnt too icy youre welcome to use it to TR off that anchor. i doubt there will be any 2 pitch ice routes in below 4000-6000 ft anywhere right now

Fumunda?

The writing needs some work, and punctuation, and stuff.
