  1. just right of center, immediately right of the huge yellow roof. The 1968 route goes up more of the ridge on the left side of the face. The wall is more like 900 feet tall in the center, instead of beckeys 600' est. We started up a splitter hand/fist crack almost immediately below the tree which headed up and left through an overhang/squeeze, did a handrail and up. It's the most obvious line up the middle of the wall, besides the chundle corner dead center

    Climbers camping at a SW BC trailhead
  3. yeah, we just scrathed the surface up to our high point. Anyone know who's been on those two routes (kanga, and stu)
  4. Actually, this is the Climber's Board, not Spray. Don't roll you fucking eyes at me. Do you know WHO I AM!
  5. The Boarder Patrol has taken up residence (somewhere) in Winthrop. the locals are not happy.
  6. ditto. marcus d. sent his back and they not only fixed that, they cleaned up the tools and relaced the rubber gasket and rusty screw
  7. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Anyone know how to get to Holden from Lucrene. I was told I have to write to Holden for the bus schedule and to get a spot on the bus, but since I'm leaving saturday, there's no time for that. Does anyone have any experience, or know anything about just showing up at Lucrene and getting a ride to holden? Thanks, Mike
  9. NW Face of W ridge on stuart, route in direct center. S.Face Center on Big Kangaroo. Crack goes up and under l side of big roof. Blank below crack (not shown in photo). Warning: the col requires a rapell of a pin, and re-climbing it is eXtra sketchy right now (5.9 hyperchoss, double moat, death block top-out, hand-jamming in ice)
  10. Bailed on both this weekend, might go back, might not? There was a homemade bail bolt 1/3 of the way up the W.Face Wall of the West ridge of Stuart with "1997" stamped on it. We bailed there too. Extremely steep hard climbing to that point, even steeper and harder above. May require lots of cleaning or aid/bolts. Who tried that route? Also, the center of the S.Face of Big Kangaroo has a mindblowinly steep line up the center of it (looks like almost 100% aid or 5.12-5.14 crack) marred only by massive chimneys at the top, and about a 50 foot section of blankness 100' off the deck to get in the line. There was a bolt with some white tat on it before the crack starts. Doesn't look like that person/party went higher than that since I'd expect at least a few more bolts. Who attempted that line? I'll post pics after a bit.

  12. this is cascadeclimbers.com not highaltitude hiking dot net
  13. i'm going to try some trad this week. let's see how it goes.
  14. For best results, you should dump the girl because you feel sorry for her for going out with a scumbag like you yup, guilty. not the current one though, so you a-holes hold on to your bettin' money cuz it's still game-on.
  15. well y'all went for that one pretty quick.
  16. any thoughts on overcoming the fear of trad, like climbing a longer sport route or something. please help. need to uncage the soul for immediate release.
  17. haha! Love getting my female friends riled up!
  18. So sooner did i post the happy dancing men, does Beckey call me 3 times wanting to climb at WA pass. I call him back to tell him I already made plans, when he answers and I hear "beep beep boop beep" and realize he's trying to make a phone call so I yell "FRED! I'm on the phone" Not that I don't like Fred, he's the best, I just wish he didn't own a cell phone and would make plans a bit more than a day in advance.

  24. Hey! I bought them there, they broke, and under their 100% satisfaction policy, i returned them. It's their own fault for having that policy. That's like saying I shouldn't cash in my income tax return, so taxes will be lower....not that i've had income tax in the past 4 years
