its all on the net!

cept those people willing resuce people, they are called volunteers. and i would rather see fuel go towards rescue then that of killing small children in foregin countries. though i would like to state the over heighted attempts at making COL_ and ehmics afternoon into an epic. i dont see the coorelation between that and bone's deal last summer. other then the fact that all you armchaired people still second guess them!

what if someone lead climbs sport, gear, aid, ice and boulders? whatca supposed to do then? you play that silly rock game on me and i will come up there and have a few choice werds!!!

I WOULD SAY THAT NEITHER OF THE ISSUES BEING ADDRESSED HERE MADE ANY IMPACT....ON THE REAL WORLD...JUST GOT A BUNCH OF FAT ASSES ALL WORKED UP AND FOAMING AT THE MONITOR FOR BLOOD, NOT CARING WHERE IT CAME FROM.... U ALL SUK!

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ROOTS OF PUB CLUB, NOT PERSONAL HISTORY.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK ABOUT THE TREE'S FEELINGS? ALL OF THE GIFTS MOTHER NATURE HAS BESTOWED UPON US TO CHERISH AND RESPECT HAVE FEELINGS. YOU ARE A SICK MAN!

the 1st pub club was in tacoma....wheres your roots?? you state this just like a typical seattle-lite this just reinforces my sportclimber metaphor!!

yeah right.... it is some other place then seattles turn... ole shitcowski and myself have come up there a bunch.... you people whine about what part of town it is in...pffft. you are all sport climbers as drinkers!!!!!

dustin i pick up the trash all over the place. didnt imply you left it.... i hit up many boulders and crags on sunday. i dunno the names of any of the problems..they are all contrivences and that are fun to try and try!!! ha! read my wanring about anyone being an asshole know it all!

i didnt say it doesnt happen ray. i am just saying it is quite humorous to make that the basis for teaching.

rnt u glad u moved to paradise?

ahh we were talking about firsts this weekend.. i am at a toss up between the 2nd pitch of bale kramer the short crack on the steep wall, as it was my first into that grade. and i swore i wasgoing to whip! or the 5.8 pitch i wanna say the 3rd or 4th of the e butt of el cap. i almost swallowed my tongue pulling th bulge....right after that i placed like 4 pieces. another breaktrough, but a cerebral one at that!

wheres dwayner and pope to complain?

DUSTIN I AM A PRODUCT OF THE REAGEN ERA SKOOLING. MORE NUKES LESS BOOKS!!

we climbed with the mounties on sunday! good times bouldering at barney's rubble. though i heard it, yes i did! a mountie's intructor told the students that gear doesn't always hold, so be suspect!! i almost pissed myself laughing! instill fear!!! though no garbae to speak of!! cept some tape!! and a ton of beer cans!!!

don't be mad its APPLE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL IN Wenatchee Valley till the 5th so everyone look out on HIGHway 2, 97 and anyother route that goes that way!

Never done this route till this past saturday and the route has it's ups and downs. I would like to think that with more traffic this route could clean up and be as quality as the other 2 routes on the crag. Only a tad bit of rotten rock and it is relatively mellow. the route is a full value 5.9. gear we used: 1 set of stoppers. 4 tcus + 1 booty set of cams to 2" and tons of slings and maybe a quick draw or 3. Nothing like the dust trough popularly known as the Snow crick trail, everytime I hike this trail I get this weird pump in my shins. But either way the trail sucks.... So we get to the base and head out, no real plan of attack other then we will climb it and enjoy ourselves. Leave the packs near the start of Remose? on a tree. Blast up the route beginngin chimney which it shares with orbit, a nice excerise in greasy chim thruthcing experiences which i never seem to have done the same way twice and lead into the 1st pitch of the actual dihedral through the tick jungle(apprently they were all out feasting as we seemed to have missed them DARN!) Lead into the second pitch which was a nice mellow mix of stemming, thin crack and some bluges to over come all on very good rock, with gear options a plenty and pulled into that unsightly and ever so uncomfortable bolted rats nest belay. This is where the rotten rock starts to appear. Make your way up to a bolt(a new one!) and then make a 20+ traverse out left on some cool ass knobs! Kinda airy, and the wall is nice and steep plus the last move is a long reach/dynmaic move!!!! into a nice flake. Up off the natural belay onto flakes, knobs and move good edges, moving back right towards a corner that break the small capping roof. Hand rails and fingers over the bulge and onto a slab and another small bulge, I ran the pitch to the big ledge near the top of Orbit, set up a belay, burned a tick and brought holmes up to finnish. Another quality Snow Crick crag route, and like I said with more traffic this route would be quite nice. It is graded fairly for the area and is sustained with some varied climbing. The pro on the route for the most part is good and most of the bolts are new. Anyone else do this route? Thoughts?

X PEE

uh oh........

SILLY KITTEN THE ROPE UP IS IN LEVEANWORTH, THE SKI PARTY IS IN MAZAMA... WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT????

name the day and i am sure you would have plenty of followers matt! once again your strongarm tactics prevail with reason!!!

sitmos like this is why i profess a solid foundation of any type of climbing. to be able to asses what you can and cannot do, b4 getting in over your head. certainly an arguement can be that is what crags are for is to hone your skillz and ability so that you may go to the bigger ranges and return home safely and successfully. that is why everyone with big stone asperrations needs to climb climb climb climb climb. know what you can and cannot do.. personally i do not think that green drag-on in the rain is the best place to learn these skillz as it does present some quirky abilites to overcome the difficulties. the only way to get better is to lead lead lead lead lead lead lead. top roping and cleaning and the such serves only for a minor step in the learning proces as one only gains their lead head through leading. leaves your pins at home!

there is no truth

cbs, you know it is easy to lump all your branches into one. i dont know what group is what, as i do not bother them. i just go back later and look for trash and pick it up. i always carry a bag in my pack for trash. good trash i have found in the icicle: 3 pairs of underwear on 3 seperate occasions. bout 34829657823456723456786527 beer can and bottles a few diapers a washing machine 2 tv countless shoes trask's brain. i think you all need to pick up all the trash you see. make it mandatory for your students to do so. have great weekend!
