Hell Yeah E! AWESOME TR!!! Looks like you found your element down in the desert with the other hippies and weirdos. can't do that in the 'Ham!

We use it in chicago too. Well, I'm game for checking anything out, house, apt, whatever. So if somebody need a roommate starting in May give me a PM.

Dru's right. I got stopped for a random check on the way to Squamish, and had a jar for sandwiches. They wouldn't let me cross with it in the car.

I dunno, the snowking/goode area is kinda baren/dry and the approach is boring as shit...lacking in the big glaciated mountain splendor.

Me too, but in a month! I started a thread in spray very recently called "good neighborhoods in seattle" http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=662777

Not so young, but the girls seem to like him Small: And close up of the 1st ascent of the "FaceCrack"

Sahale and Ruth are the two perfect intro hikes to the cascades

Are you watching me? How weird!

Someone's seriously making a calendar for the girls of cc.com? How f'in stupid. If you buy this, then you are a L.O.S.E.R. Girls, do you know how many desperate lonely climbers there are jerking off to your photos right now? I'd pull my shots if I were you.

shit, i ain't coming.

Can I get the topo?

yeah! that's why i'm moving

I know a way to get the bill tossed. Every time one of us goes up hood, get an MLU....and use it. "I'm sorry for the trouble. I got a bit hungry and I don't like my cliff bars I brought...can I get a heli out?"

Good job Team!

It kinda sucks because I need to get a place before I get a job as an associate chiropractor (re: bitch, coffee getter, errand runner). I'd rather live where I want and commute, I made that mistake when I 1st moved to portland and got a place very close to my school...which is almost in Gresham. Needless to say it sucked and I moved.

sweet thanks. Why seattle? Jobs and People, close to the Cascades.

If I wanted to live in a small town close to climbing, I wouldn't choose Seattle, so I'd rather live in an area where there's fun things to do, close to places to run/bike, go to the climbing gym, get coffee. I also don't want to live in a ma and pa retired neighborhood. Does that narrow the search? What are good rescourses for looking for a place (besides the ever-helpful Craigslist)? Are there local papers or things like that? I really appreciate the help!

I may be moving to Seattle very soon, and I really haven't spent much time there, so I don't know my way around at all. While looking for a place to live, what are some neighborhoods or areas I should concider that would be fun for a 30 year old single climber who is poor, but not for long? And if you're looking for a rommie, I'm available I guess.

The school's got a new program, 5 visits including the initial exam, history, treatment for $100. That's a great deal. I'm still here and would love to get more climbers in. -Mike

dating sucks no matter what the other person likes to do in their spare time

do you have the new beacon topo?

Joseph, I see your point, but I have to respectfully disagree. I think for the kind of experience you're looking for, you need to head into the mountains. Unless you only climb at one crag all the time and have a local to show you around, folks will be seriously wasting their time "exploring" beacon. There are plenty of other crags around but they suck ass compared to Beacon. I'd fight other battles than keeping a cragging area "secret" like dealing with the tourons, garbage, and park-service closures (which was really cool of you to do last year by the way).

Joe and Kevin, For some reason areas like Beacon seem to have a "locals only" feel to them, and you guys are propagating that attitude. Beacon is a crag, not a backcountry alpine climb; it's a crag next to a major metropolitan area. It is a place to practice you skills and have fun doing so at the same time. The reason people have been able to push the limits of climbing in far off ranges is because of training grounds like beacon. So if someone doesn't want to waste their time walking in random directions from their home, looking for a place to climb, then good topos and beta are necessary. If you don't want to know what the grade is or where a climb goes, then you have an easy choice: don't use the guidebook. If the reason for the negative attitude towards this topo is the person who made it and there's supposed to be a better one out, then whoever is working on that project should not be concerned. Many areas have multiple guidebooks and topos.
