hey, we saw you skiing down there on sunday from NY gully, did ya hear me holler to ya?

hundreds of people climb it. it's probably in. go find out yerself!

i'll trade ya for Mt Kenya

here are marcus's pics resized and color adjusted...his pics are way better than mine, and i'm too wired to sleep/too tired to study any more...so this will kill some time. descent: following: leadin'

Climb: Snoqalamnie Mtn-NY Gully Date of Climb: 2/12/2006 Trip Report: Fourth time was the charm! I think there are plenty of TR's on this climb, so I'll just add my .02 Conditions were good enough to get up it, obviously. I found a square foot of ice for a few threads of a screw so that was a plus. Lots of digging for mystery holds so the pitches took some time. We used a 70m and did it in 6 pitches, but less if we didn't go an "alternate" way near the top. Marcus did some cool splitter crack layback carefully avoiding a loose death chockstone. there was a bail biner on an orange nut partway up. this is just after the ramp pitches near the ridgecrest. Then I went straight up to the left summit up a splitter jam crack. Descending from the top was very very tricky. The best approach in good avy conditions is up the phantom slide. I can provide GPS coordinates thanks to Alex (thanks Alex). But it's pretty much straight up from the parking lot all the way to the ridge you drop in from. The climb is fun, pretty sustained, some tricky and not so good gear, and excellent moss sticks. it took about 12 hours car to car, less with rope drag issues. Marcus has way better pics, but the cd he burned me doesn't work. my pics are kinda blah. the 1st was taken a while ago, but looks about the same. The route minus the 1st and part of the 2nd pitch Source lake Mt Garfield Marcus on the Ramp Marcus following The descent of the top Gear Notes: 60-70m rope 13-15 slings a screw a few blades and LA's some nuts set o' cams small to 3", two one inch and 1/2 inch cams several tri-cams (invaluable) Approach Notes: up phantom slide no misery shoes required...about 3 hours from car to climbing. a couple hours or less from the top to the car

i've descended the nisqually icecliff unroped and I like boobies...do I get a prize?

a woman? why that's impossible!

Too bad the photo contest is over, this photo is awesome!

very good winter objective....take some pics of the cirque, it's really a cool place to be.

i find it best to spit on non-climbers when they speak to me. that was your problem. sorry for the spray, kashmir RAWKS!!!!!

i'm sorry i didn't show. school is really intense right now. I hope it had a good turn-out and y'all had fun.

What's the difference b/tween Herpes and Love? VD lasts forever!

I'm gonna get my sweetie a copy of climbing AND alpinist!

good idea just doing chair and two routes on big four, just in case the weather doesn't cooperate

go for it!

Thanks for the birthday blessings y'all! i get to do a birthday gyn exam in a few minutes ! then studying bone cancers on x-ray films . then i'm gonna watch the three amigos and drink some beer with a pretty girl (not the one from the gyn exam ).

anyone know seth hobby and if he's ok?

there was something that tied us all together? what was it? i can't remember, it's been too long. roke claning? eyes klaming? i forget.

Carolyn Parker's endorsement does it for me. I've climbed with her a few times. I remember one time we went to the climbing gym for four hours solid, then we went to the weight room for another two. I could barely use my turnsignal i was so wasted. She is one cool lady. Her husband is the angry elf. I'd like to know Twight, he seems like a very interesting person.

I realized there was something to do after setting up the tent while backpacking instead of cooking and writting about my vagina in my journal.

now take your leashes off!

looks like the east face of cutthroat to me

i wonder what the grade will be?

Clearly this artist has talent....and vision.
