Don't forget some "canned wheat". That's the secret to being extreme.

Bouldering is like masterbating...............it feels good but you really don't want your friends to know.

Bouldering "might" be real climbing for some people, but come on you know deep in your adolescent heart that you really want to move on the something bigger, and you probably will.............when you can afford to buy a rope.

Just read an article in the Everett Herald, ap story about a climber falling down Gibralter Chute. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family and friends. Barry

Shit just read previous postings! I suck

Is the Teanaway Road open? Snow conditions? How bad is the post holing? Looking at a car-car trip this Friday. Barry

Hello Keith, welcome to the US. Would like to chat about some climbing (4/5-6??) and/or mtn biking. PM me. Barry

Here's one........-15 Feathered Friends Widgeon with dryloft shell at garage sale............$35 (oh yea it had a hole about the size of a dime in it)

Here's to you Larry.......

Whoa check out the Turtle........scoured! Approach to FF looks nice

OC, if you really don't know who's nose he wants to climb, then find out, cuz you'd be missin a big part of the history of climbing if you don't.

Doohh! I'm a dumbass........ Barry

Curious how you summited at 10:30 and witnessed a star-filled sky and the glow of lights from Alpental??? Unless you topped out THAT NIGHT!!!

No. Face, (or NE Buttress) Good weather, great route, who's up for it? PM or post here, let's go! Barry

Mark, how about some "training" on the No. Face of Chair this Sat??? Oh and I'm not half your age. Barry

No Greenfork, just hadn't checked a topo of the area west of Melakwa/alpental area recently, thought it was farther. No sarcasm here.......

Give those cheap Russian screws to your worst enemy............

2 years ago I spent a night out above Paradise after getting disorientated coming off the Muir snowfield, I had no gear and temps of 12 degrees. I learned to always take H2O proof matches, a small tarp or bivi sac, and extra dry fleece gloves. Of course if Dan was alpine skiing he wouldn't be expected to anticipate being in the backcountry. My skull hat's off to this guy. This guy Dan is a hard-ass to the 10th degree, holy shit the mind games he must have endured to keep dealing with those conditions...........BTW how in hell could anyone cover those distances and elevation gains/losses in alpine gear? Sure AT or Tele, but alpine? Looking forward to more info........... Welcome home Dan!

Hey CircleJerk you don't know what your gettin into............

Ptarmigan what???? Traverse?? Holy shit

Looks like Sunday and Monday will give us our best chance at ice. Whoa it's gonna be cold East of the Mtns..........Banks Lake???

That's the new "bungy-sling". Helps with dyno's, and offers some solice on long runouts

This is why people die from avalanches........"check the conditions before you go". That just doesn't work in our climate. Snow stability must be assessed on site, just logging on to Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center and then figuring your safe to travel through the Source Lake basin is asking for trouble.

As expected nothing you could sink a tool into........... Sunday was about 30 degrees, couple feet of freshies.
