AlpineK replied to gapertimmy's topic in Climber's Board
Those permits are a bunch of fucking bullshit. I take one so I can show the man's lacky if I run into one, but I lie if I even fill out info. Fuck the Man Oh yeah and if you get into trouble just take it to court. You'll force the seasonal employee who hastled you and gave you a ticket to show up in court, which is usually really inconvienient for them. -
I thought Eldo was hard till I'd climbed there a while, then it didn't seem so bad. I think getting used to the non granite takes a little time. Veedawoo is pretty god dam hard.

When I click on both the links all I get is a message saying, "We can not proceed." Untill you give further proof I say you're a spewer and not a provider of beta.

The Blue Moon is funky, but it ain't a Pub Club spot.

Alpinfox, I'm going to have to agree with FS and GW. If you've never been there then posting 3rd hand info is totally lame. Go climb some stuff.

Bullshit, I'm way too cheap to rap and leave gear. Better to tough it out or climb out of it. Rapping off jam knots s

I'm interested but intimidated by the fucked up traffic on I-5 N-bound in the early evening.

I've been in both Floyds and Ozzies. Ozzies is more smokey. Floyds might be ok, but parking on lower QA sucks even when there isn't a game. I'm more into Schultzys, but Floyds would be alright.

We chipped some holds for you ChucK

Yeah, well this one time, while cutting dead limbs out of a tree, I cut a squirrel's head off with a chainsaw. I noticed the bar on my chainsaw turn red, but I didn't think too much of it till the guys on the ground started pointing at it and me and laughing.

After Dru and I cut down the tree at the base of the Split Pillar, Cman and I decided to try a climb on the Apron despite the funky weather. Anywho we headed up to St Vitus. Things were looking real good. We cruised up to Baseline ledge quickly, and we met a couple locals climbing Vector at the ledge. A few rain drops started coming out of the sky but stopped fairly soon. I led the first pitch and belayed Cman up. Cman started out on the second pitch. While belaying him I gazed down Howe sound and saw big black clouds rolling down the mountains on the other side and the wind started picking up. I debated on whether or not to yell at Cman to hurry up, but I decided he really wouldn't go that much faster. Eventually he set up a belay and I started climbing. Those black clouds were really big and the wind was really blowing. About half way up the second pitch the rain set in. I climbed as fast as I could, but I the rock was getting wet fast. Apon reaching the belay I told Cman to hurry up and give me the rack. I headed up the third pitch with in a steady rain. I could get positive holds in the hand crack, but on the upper part of the pitch the crack ended in smooth wet slabs. I finally found a seam that was covered in moss but provided some holds that were more positive than a smooth slab. Cman came up and told me the hand crack was a watterfall. We ran into the locals climbing Vector there; after talking to them we all realized that we needed to climb higher to get to Broadway and the route off. Anyway we made it to Broadway and climbed up the streambed to the trees. There was one last bit of scrambling that under the conditions we were all unwilling to do, so the locals set up a rap on a tree, and we all slid down the rope to some more easier scrambling. The woods were a welcome relief and after more hiking we reached the parking lot. We changed into dry cloths, drank a beer and scanned the apron for other unlucky suckers. After a while we headed to the brewpub and met up with Dru, Snoboy and his gf. After a few beers and food we spent a fun evening looking for local youths to open up a can of wup-ass on. Another fine Squish adventure.

You pay the city .5 mill for the damages you cause. The city of Bellevue made some homeowner who topped a bunch of trees for his view pay a big fine and then do a bunch of community service.
