i would have made it, if not for the fact that i had a little run in with a truck of about 15 tons more then mine. glad you all had fun

You climb up this obvious gully (4th class with some looseness and aid moves) to a spectacular hemlock belay then move left on small finger holds around an overhanging off-squeeze bombay chimney to steep runous up dirt and shrubs to a cave. Fight off bees here and move past a couple of duct-taped skyhooks to a large ledge (bivy with trophy-sized rodents and running water). The next 17 pitches are obvious. Near the summit climb through a cannon hole and over loose flakes (exposure) to a final classic grunt move up a two-bolt bolt ladder and use a shoulder stand to bypass worm moves through a "prayer box" into an eroded trough which leads indirectly to the summit. The descent is obvious 3rd class with some bushes and possibility of snow. i thought that was the butt direct on mt yourmomma!!!

Thanks. ray, there is approximatly 7,654,450 cubic tons of snow on the east ridge of forbidden at this time. disclaimer snow condtions could/will possibly change at any given time. in this case i will say there is approx. 7,654,449 cubic tons up there 47.5 minutes after this is posted. hope this helps!!!

no debate, because i refuse to listen to either side. that i believe would be listed as an opinion. dumb ass

http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002504 i dunno if i can make it. but i say we go to a new establishment....how about HANKS???? pretty near the freeway and stuff. pretty mellow joint, i saw only 3 people stabbed there last time!!!

1ST OF ALL anthonysmom, no one in oly cranks....a few people on the outside of town maybe..... but in reading that article and reading what you all are putting up here. i say you all are none better then he.....least he puts his name out on the line and allows you all to call him names. maybe you all should show your support for bolts at vantage by doing something good. i don't know what anymore, cause i don't go there cept in the winter. but i say for starters everyone shutting the hell up might be a place to begin. that includes mr robbins and all the others involved out there. the way alot of the bolters and non-bolters go about this choss pile, i am suprised the f&g hasn't shut it down. it was and will be a hunting unit before climbers even thought about going there. so i say leasve it in a natural state. do not remove or place any new bolts at that choss pile. i will not get into a debate on vantage.

and all cars in general.

ascending the 3rd pillar jamming erfect hand size cracks one is almost so lost in a dream like state that placing pro becomes less and less of a priortiyand the moves inspire pure awe..... the crux is trivial...if you don't like it move right ir left to the next dreamy crack..... recommend repeat everytime you are near tioga pass. the appraoch is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy mellow..... glen, to my recollenction and speaking to t-meadows homies that wall has seen ascents...but who cares that stuff is sooo good looking you just climb the one that looks tastiest.

tim the only idea you have had that i thought was a bad one was an expouse' on migrant sheep workers who love their trusts and need validation from christians on their bovine love predicamint....in an eastern culture. was that an autobio deal too????

try a more padded shoe...but not one that constricts blood flow to your feet. or try some those superfeet insoles.. there are many options before gettin cut...i have had sore knees since i was about 14....moto x and skiing have taken their toll, but i do not consider surgey an option...i am too young....plus i had my shoulder worked on and it took forever before i could kick some ass again!!!! shit i am still weak!!! good luck yo!! and remember doping your system with ibu..is harsh on the stomach and kidneys....

holy shit that guy can fly a plane. he spells worse then i do!!!! yeah jobe. sux and all, but i think d.g. is in the complete right and when he said: quote: I do appreciate your agony of having to wait a few hours on the Kahiltna glacier with all that awful scenery. maybe you should give up the mountain wilderness thing if it bothers you to wait for a few hours longer in such a wonderfull setting. that was the smack down right there!!!! SMACK DOWN good luck next time.

soundz like the stuart range was the epic triangle this past weekend!!!!! eggsellent!!! had just about the same experience the 1st time too, though we were lucky enough to drop one of our water bottles down low to give us that extra dehydrated visualization effect...kinda cool!!!
