mike dat saounds like a goodf plan.. dont worry about being not certified..most of the guides out there are not certified either....the companies might have one or two amga or better certifired guides, but mst of the cronies are just kids out there working...... yeah i have heard about your oc trips(hehehe) advertise on the local boards like you said at skool and at basecamp....who cares of they tear it down, just put up another one...all they can ask you to do is stop.... hopefully you will give the competition a run for the money...post at rei too..... word of mouth is a good way to do it too..... just when you are out there..make sure you do not tell people that you are guiding...specially the tool...

haireball call tacoma screw(they have a website too) they will ship the goods to you... i use paper clips for the portion that goes into the cam....

mike, there is nothing stopping you, expect you... the thing is if you are offering formal training or instruction, and reciveving money for this, then you will be a business and open for much liability. the state will want a part of your earnings.... i would say if you guided routes with qaulified people and receicve financial gifts, then you would be okay.... the thing is, is selling yourself to potential clients. the money with guiding is return cumtomers...obviousy you are not soo interested in this, as it appears to be a temp deal.... if you can find people to pay you to take them climbing, then go for it....but remember you might be an expert, but your clients are not...you need to treat them as equals and not some belay bunny....explain to them your thoughts and actions and let them feel like they are part of them team. do not bad mouth them or make them feel inferior as it will deteriate the partnership/relationship deal....and prolly cut into your tip.....i think this is where most guides mess up...i have found that most guides have a suporiority complex and it reflects on theur treatment of their clients(this is personal opinion gathered from things i have seen from observiong guides, if you are a guide and feel you need to attack me on this point, take note i do not care!!! this is just an observation!!!) good luck mang!

dat wuz u alex...shit homey u should have said sumpin!!! glad everyone was out rockin!

I SAY ALKI.... NO SEATTLE-LITES HAVE CALLED IT, SO I AM GOING TOO!!!

umm thats not the point there ole boy... the point would be fun..... sorry you didnt have any.....

i was out there last wensdany.....no one went through my car....lucky enough i stopped drivin some classy shizz and roll in a piece of shizz....but like mtngrrrlll said take your wallet with you!!!

put crankin at index this fine weekend and it hit upon me that fall is approaching...... i dunno about you guys, but fall has to be my most favorite time of year.... so we were out at index and cranked some really good lines, not the usuall ones, we did do some but some out of the way stellar lines....i would love to share, but then i would have to share...and what fun is waiting to climb?? we checked out behind the 8 ball for pete puget...i even brought in east side back up with the no excuses rack.....well we waited till the end of the day and the involvment+the wanning light was enough of an excuse to not do it....i feel kinda like a washed up has been ofr not trying it....plus we had all the big toys there....but oh the dirt...the dirt i say....has anyone ever climbed this thing in a couple years??? it is not the same line i thought it was the other day....this thing is schweeeettt...cept for the near vertical bush scramble to the base.....we will be heading back into that canyon again soon.....this time with no excuses...hehe so i had a blast just being at index...didnt go there all summer and now i have to go back....i know why i love that place....... saw some homies i hadnt in a while and it was good to trade lies... so with fall appraoching the smiff wok bug is awaking.....crag season is here!! on a sad note...i torqued my ankle again for like the 50th time...... who did what and why?

yes it does....2 single rope raps... but make sure you find the correct rappel slings..... head south and scramble down a bit and you will find the obvious ones.... sorry i cannot be more descriptive....we used the wrong sckety ones and have only asked my friend since..... bobbyperu prolly has the good beta

i have little supprt for the access fudd in itself...i am sure it does great work somewhere esle... but a couple things....i have tried to join thruogh their website, but only get errors. and i have seen such little activity on the fee demo program and in my opinion that is a major issue affectting not only climbers, but all outdoor enthusiasts... maybe they do ghood, but i have never been convinced ebough to give them my money...

that route is a long hike and kinda boring.....but day just my opinion....even the views suffer slightly..... i would think the n fac emight be a bit melted out...so plan for some choss climbing....and when going from the col(the only way in my opinion) the snow helped wuite a bit as the route is wayyyyy chossy....though easy...just take your time.... have fun on it.... there sound be decent water in the leroy basin.....

T-BALL..... I BE IN BHAM THIS WEEKEND....I WANNA SEE YO ASS IN DA BAR AND GETTIN SHITTY!!!!
