So you expect a giant highway through a extremely low population area that traverses a bunch of mountains.

Oh I read what you wrote. You sound like an ugly american whining about how everything isn't like this in the good old usa.

no, a rental place in ballard.

If you had a brain Josh you would have skipped Vancouver and taken I-90 to Spokane then headed north through Idaho to Cranbrook, Golden and the Rockies. I've had my truck broken into right in front of my house, so I don't think you can draw any conculsions based on license plates.

Well it's 1, 2, 3, 4, What are we fighting for, Don't ask me I don't give a damn, Next stop is Iraqistan.

The real question is why do you need to go through Vancouver to get to the Canadian Rockies...

Ya know your tighty righties are all fucked up. JGowans may not have the right to vote here, but I bet he has the right to vote somewhere. Lets face it a lot of things Bush has done have international effects. Even if JG has no right to say anything about American politics he has a right to express his opinion about things that have international effects. George W Bush has squandered most of the international good will that we've built up since WW2. Maybe we don't need to cooperate with other nations right now, but eventually something will slip and we'll need some help. Too bad other nations will have a low opinion of us. Hey Fairweather last time I saw you post you were whining about Trask getting banned and Seattle liberals...not that you don't always whine about Seattle liberals.

I've gone to IC a couple of times and proudly taped up every day. Aid climbing with out ladders is fun.

Those guys sure can run and jump.

I think we should plan on having our party either the 24th of April or the 1st of May.

Man you're sensitive about sport climbing . I wasn't even dissing on it. All I'm saying is that any one pitch climb, sport or trad, doesn't count as the hardest route in the cascades. I'm sure the HOB is hard and only a couple people can do it, but because it's only one pitch it lacks commitment. On a one pitch climb if you can't do it you lower back down to the ground. On a bigger route you may have to do a bunch of nasty bullshit to get off of it partway up. Anyway one of the climbs I nominated is a multipitch sport route on Baring. I don't remember the details. It may only be a wimpy 5.12 route, but it is pretty long.

Dru may be too busy posting to get this.

Ya know I'm thinking what you've done may be several magnitudes more patetic then all the bouldering photos Distel's posted.

I edited your tr to improve the photo format.

I'm not sure a 1 pitch route counts as the hardest route in the Cascades. Likewise I don't know if I would agree with GK's choice of Liberty crack. I know the roof is a super hard free climb, but it's only 1 pitch. Didn't someone just finish a hard free route on Baring last summer? Also NNB free could be a canidate.

Don't forget the spring ski in.

I've invested my savings in beer

What a money grubber. You would think he would be happy with just having the story about Richard Simmons slapping him.

I think GK did mention Liberty crack free. I've never climbed in the Alps, but lets face it the Canadian Rockies are a big step up from Cascade Routes.

Exactly, You've got your pick of Washington Pass spring alpine climbing or spring skiing. And if Goat Wall is dry you can climb multi pitch sport.

So what you're saying is you'd like to shit dick your SO Scottie

I'm not saying it was hard; I just don't see the need for email lists for classes. It sounds like it just makes things more confusing.

I got through college without email or the web.

You've lost me.

I hear if you kill Dru and mush up his brains and eat them you will soon start claiming FA's on routes that have been climbed 10 year before.
