yes cam, the brisdge is gone and has been since the fall.... i heard a rumor of a cable being up, but bring your bike instead and peddle the mile of so.....i would believe that a cable might cause more harm due to the looky lu's driving on hwy12..... now as plans to contruct another bridge i have heard both sides, yes and no.....so i dont know....though you would think maybe thats where some of our parking permit money would go....to improve the facilites.....i doubt it though those 1999 chevy trucks the fish and game are driving around are getting wore out, probably time to buy news ones....

isn't that why everyone has a girlfriend?? to do stuff like that for you......

bone, i was talking about mount yourmom.....my old favorite crag.... but now that you mention it, yeah i guess they work there too..... this is in spray right??? and oh yeah i have one those ropes and highly recomend it!!! [ 03-07-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

well greg, when you move away from exit 38 there are routes and crag where a 70m rope works much better..... all my ropes are 70m and i carry them in the mtns..... cannot we not stop the stupidity!!!!!!

Save your hatred for someone who deserves it [ 03-07-2002: Message edited by: payaso ] payso, i think you might want to go back and work on your mountaineer orienteerin skillz cause i think you are off route..... thought both fw and w has selfish posts, we have to look beyond what is good for us, and see what is good for the mountain...... and in 'w' case i believe he even outlined what is good fo us too.....mudslides, cost overruns and repeated repair to single road.....sounds like ole boy hit all the points... fw on the other hand is starting to sound redundent on all his posts....now he is using emotion in an attepmt to get fellow people to hear and abade his cry for unjust for the 9-5er....fw shame on you....that liberal tactic of not useing the facts and replacing them with emotion is quite sicking to the a member of the wa state repub party.....blahhhh.....bllaaaahhhhh..... compromise is the answer to all debates, we have to always find middle ground...in this case i think we should banish all conseconaires from the park and close most of the roads....that way we will keep the rv's and the mtneers out of the park.....with a little more approach/less people maybe then mother nature can voice her opinion on the subject without having to wisper of the noise.... and payso again, i love mopney, trees, mtns and my suv so plz plz plz keep your company rhetoric to your company cause i aint intrested in buying any more wilderness ot parking fee or paying a membership fee to the world........ and pp you always try to use too many big words and i think your point is usually lost, cause ytou are trying to overpower the conversation....

I WANT TO DEBATE MY POSITION ON THE LIST....... I THINK SERIOULY THAT I AM MORE AORUND # 3,489,654,224,562 I HAVEHAD MY DAY, BUT IT HAS PASSED...... I AM OLD SKOOL CAUSE I STILL PLAY WITH PLAYSKOOL

stefan that guy has been around for years..... his buddy is pasayten pete, though they might even be the same person....i have yet to have the pleasure to meet this fellow, but i cannot wait for some reason i can always relate to folks like this....... his effort is nearly unparalled by any climber that i know....several roller types of luggage would be b!@#h to even think about dealing with....i hate one medium sized back pack.... props to that homeboy!!!!

w- one thing to remember is that most of the national parks have been set aside for the enjoyment of people.....and in this world it means access, access, access..... not that i disagree with you one bit, but that has to be taken in account.....unfortunatly....but it does.... i am one for less services and more wilderness, but that will not happen, atlest mora has a reasonable superintendent, whom is active in getting the publics view....if that were the case in other n.p. there might be less user conflict/eco-damage......and more enjoyment of the enviroment for all.... the mtneers attpemt to get the w side road open just re=proves the self serving nature of their organization, just like their complience to the barely legal demo-fee program....bend over or we might not get it all attitude is sicking...... we as humans do not have the right to tread everywhere, if that were the case i think we would be much harrier and all have big feet...... after this passes, focusing on keep commericilaztion out of known and listed wilderness areas should be the priority.....that will be the next eco-war......freddy needs to relize that the world doe snot always need to be packaged and sold....hard worl get better personally efforts but bring less money to the table for many groups whom avoid it.....money is and will be the key to securing wilderness or even un-touched(is there any left) open areas...... i always thought that solitude came from two words.....solid and attitude.......well if it comes down to it, lets give em both...

you can get a membership at the ups gym.....i believe it is $100....the gym is located in a racquet ball court within in the field house.....not too bad as far as gyms go....and i think you might be able to get a disoucnt if you claim some sort of route setter status.....

soundz like i made the wrong choice!! sounz like a lot of fun ray you sponsering next week in the quah??? [ 03-06-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

my friend allen is making the drive in a couple weeks and would like a partner..... his truck split gas and driving..... he is not coming back, so this is a way one way deal. he is a great person and i would recommend hanging with him over most people..... contact me and i will put you in touch with him.

i always thought that canary was classic 5.fun++ with a little heady challenge thrown in for good measure..... but as always all grades are subjective from person to person, area to area.......i have never really nitced the huge differences from areas to areas...but then again i am trying on focusing on the climb and not the numbers....

radon, i made a comperision once similar to your and was enlightend by a fellow cc'er to how ignorant that statement is..... so anytime you are recieving a service you are doing something bad??? most guides do guiding cause they enjoy it...do you know if hookers enjoy their job??? i have never been guided and most likely never will, but you state that these people are not learning how to climb....i beg to differ....experiences and challenges are met differently by every person... and the consessionaires are all the services at mt rainier not just the guide service.....think about that $3 hot chocolate, or your fluffed pillows...not just one buyt many things are stealing from rainier and non of them are illegal like the prostitution thing glad to see you are interested in the mtn, but i dont think your tact is that good.... take some advice from a non-tactful person....think before we speak!!! peace out anf have fun give a no vote for all services from me!!!!

i've tried the lot and as far as they go all work fairly well..... the best climbers/runners were the mtn masters though with wearing them out every couple months i have given up, since i am not game on stealing from rei by returning something that i have worn out...guide all might has a real soft sole... the garmont clib pretty well, but are too stiff to really hike in, though i noticed that have a new entry into the everything shoe market now and it looks a little more sporty..... the sportiva shoes all suck for walking in....cept for their hiking approach shoes...... havent really ttied anything else, but if you save them only for climbing, the mtn master should be your shoe of choice..

last time i was in this situation it cost me alot...... keep climbing!

i think if we call there and tell the it is some meeeting or something they will give a us private area.....cause tuesday is $2 pints and brings da ups kidz out........ but i not sure i havent been there since i got 86'ed

you will probably be the only one there... the key to the longmire gate is under a piece of moss near a log like 1ft-420ft off the road, just look for the pine needles on the ground...... make sure to close the gate, would hate for another conseccionaire to sneak in andstart making a mess!!!

same place as last or whould we branch out and discover new and livly parts of tacoma???

my apologies to whomever then......just jumped the happiness gun my fault....beer to whom ever....thought i was doing a service....

i juat wanted to say that i had another awesome weekend filled with cc.com allstars!!!!!!!!!! jon and timm@y still deserve all the free beer they can drink!!!

well ray, dont know what any of that means, but serioulsy enjoy yourself as i know you always dooooo!!!!!

it all depends what we got going on, sure i got my gear racked on a nice gear sling with loops, but for craggin i go with racing my gear on my hanress..... small to large depending on quanity of gear i am using i may stager pices to eac side according to size or just have a set per side.... i have my stoppers put on two seperate biners, littel guys and the big ones..then cams with the 2' and 3' or maybe bigger rear loop with 3 draws to that as well, 2 draws on frnot gear loops with nutz and other cams..... a couple extra biners a spare locker and belay device.......one xtra shoulder length over the shoulder (duh!) and a web-o-lette for fun... in the mtns, i be usin me gear sling......racked accordingly to what we got going on... i think there is no one way to do it right...... but being able to adapt to other methods is the way to go.... many partners dont have the same gear racking styles......whom ever brings the rack, sets the rule for racking....kinda what we work off...... adaptabilty is the key to success...
