Any of you old timers lurking out there gone wintery clamberin 'round the crags? I hate wasting gas these days, but shore do wanna scatch around down there.

Once off the PCT it's intermittent manzanita schwackin, not too bad of an approach really. The decent (even the best line) is still an 8/10 on the vegetation penetration scale. Yeah, no water and a super sweet climb. can't wait for the E face of castle dome this spring.

colfax mtn has ice on it now according to Berdinka. I'd be there this weekend if the weather would be so kind (which it doesn't look like). Careful with avy if you go scouting by the way. I really doubt Death Picnic formed. Go check around some higher elevation valleys around Ruth, Goat, or Shucksun Arm. At the least you'll get some skiing in. You can probably do some mixed routes next to Pan Dome (mixed rock and powder), and Baker Crags is fun to go to in full conditions.

I really really wanted to go, but I study all the time so I have my weekends free. Glad you guys had fun, and maybe we can have another pre-thanksgiving pub club when I don't have midterms. I bet it was a good time!

yeah, i liked the ski runs in the distance too. BUT my disbelief was suspended due to the the gripping storyline, acting, and dialogue. great film. amazing. I also liked how they expanded upon the concept of the "pointman." My pointman also died tragically so it really hit home. you will burn in evelasting hell for dissing this fine film.

hey fuck you for not liking sub-zero. that's the best climbing movie ever hands down. go sit on a rock

that's the best thing i've heard in a long long time. please email this story to black diamond or i will!

http://climbing.com/news/sichuanchina/ Our boys put up a couple super fun looking rock routes in China. Lots of locals in China this fall, wonder what the rest of the gang did?

if i was a local anywhere i'd talk up some stupid crappy crag waaaaaaaay up on some hillside (maybe even one with like 4 pitches) and diss all the tourons by saying nobody has any sense of adventure anymore and i'd also wire every climb and go there with three hexes and tennis shoes and bullshit about the history of the area to anyone who remotely came withing earshot. And if any tourons actually did go and climb that stupid crag i'd get all territorial and then make em feel like spraylords if they so much as mention it to anyone else. that's what i'd do if I were a local!

and it makes your teeth hurt

I usually eat a 5 course meal spead out over 5 days. day 1: serveral cans of green beens or corn day 2: bowls of rice and soy sauce day 3: a bunch of salad day 4: several pounds of meat day 5: a few packets of ramen or make some sort of ghetto entre and eat that for dinner until it gets lamer and lamer as individual ingredients run out. or do the lonely puppy eyes when someone is eating or talking about dinner and get free food (happens multiple times a week, i have food serindipity).

Mt Salem North Face

This is the PNW, it's white everywhere all the time.

I'll alert the local female population to relocate asap.

I did a 2000' WI3 "somewhere" in the PNW in october once.

Ah locals and their crags! Glad I don't surf.

R U serious? slap some balls on suzy

I love this song now! If i was gay, i'd be gay for Mark.

thanks! i like the album sailing to philidelphia or golden heart the best so far though. neck and neck with chet atkins is pretty good too.

anyone feel like emailing me 5.15am from the shangri-la album. i heard it's pretty good. i'll buy you a beer or something.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am? I climbed Mox! I was in the bellingham herald! I'm Mike Motherfucking Layton, bitch!" This is my opening line at the bar with the ladies, or at a climb shop or gym with a new employee. It really works surprisingly well. that or, "I know MirsterE"
