I once had a dream. I can't really remember what is was anymore, other than that it's gone now. All this gear is essentially unused. 9 copperheads in various sizes (unused) 2 BD peckers (1 has been placed) 1 BD Rurp (unused) 1 BD Cliffhanger (filed and unused) 4 Leeper Camhooks (middle sizes used lightly) I'll sell the lot of it for $66+shipping I also have a Fish Captain Hook. I've used it a fair bit but it should last at least another 500 years. Burly. $20+shipping to whomever writes the best 50 word essay and posts it here. Please PM me.

Both item SOLD

Bumped off the bottom of page 3. Whats up!?

Sweet! The pillar looks fat, sounds like more perfect conditions this coming weekend. Any chance you've got a good photo of the Polish Route? How was the glacier travel? Thanks Darin

It's cold in the mountains

That Thang was rocking last year. No more free beer? Whats up

I've seen sasquatch tracks. It's for real.

Crap! Funny how that sneaks up on yah!

Testing...Testing....

Almost T-shirt weather on the UTW. Damn near perfect.

Gte a partner to clean the pitches for you.

Ignore Mike, he's just a little grumpy from not gettin any lately Try a search on "Colfax" on this site. Alex's plan is actually a pretty good one should the 1 in 20 chance of decent weather actually occur over Thanksgiving.

It was TOO deep at Baker today. Figure 11s on all but the steepest lines. Another 14" tonight. WTF!

North Rib of Slesse is incredible. I second the NE Ridge of White Chuck. The Houston-Cosley Route on the N Face of Colfax Peak has to be one of the more reliable water-ice routes around and has easy access to boot. It should be mobbed.

You dont understand, it's cooler to be a binge drinking alcoholic than a stoner.

Baker Ski Area has gotten something like 48" of snow in the last two days. It doesn't sound like it's going to let up. No one will be climbing shit anytime soon.

Cool Shot Dave. Looks BIG. Surprising number of these things around it seems. Anybody need a topic for a Geology Thesis??

There is in fact no vacancy. O'Conner is still presiding until a new justice is confirmed. Get your facts straight you right-wing knucklehead.

While backpacking with my wife near the Napeequa River this summer I spent a night near a relatively unique feature in the Cascades, a cannonhole. In the morning I scrambled up near it and took the photo posted below. It wasn't huge but at least 15' across, maybe more. I'm curious how many more of these exist in the Cascades. A large one near Dome Peak is pretty well know and is featured in the Kearney Guidebook. The Pillar of Pi, if not a cannonhole, is certainly an oddity. John Scurlock seems to be aware of quite a few. I've paraphrased part of e-mail from him below. "Dome, Jack, Snowfield (has two), Bear (two also), Arches (up near Arriva), Silver Star, and a couple others that don't come to mind just now." If anyone has photos of these or knows of others I'd be interested in hearing about them. This is found on the high ridgeline seperating the Napeequa River from the north side of an unnamed valley dropping down from High Pass.
