This rock is gonna hurt

I think the answer to that one is fairly obvious - sue the fuckers!

NBC is a great route. The little rock scramble at the end is a nice way to finish a mostly snow route. Glad you had fun on it

way to go greg - lack of motivation usually kills my solo plans did you happen to get a look at prussik? snowy? wet? tia.

headed to the bank now, to get a $577 check to send to the man .. ouch !!

If you go to domestic dome do the 5.6 BS for some scary (for the grade), sometimes sandy slab to a big ledge. Couple of options for a second pitch include a 5.4 route to an obvious tree, or Underachiever a nice 5.8 with fun stem moves between a couple of flakes and a bolted slab finish. There is also a wide crack up there at something like 5.8, I think it's called snag crack(?) - didn't do that one.

Oprah's Navel (10c) and another slab route just to the left (10a) can be tr'd by first climbing Sam n Cams (5.7) at Sam Hill. There is also a couple of slab routes that looked hard just around the corner to the right of the bid dead tree (sorry don't know the names or grades off hand).

As Fred Rogers once said - whatever sendbot !! fwiw, midway was my first multi pitch trad lead, in fact the first pitch of midway was my second trad pitch ever, and I was climbing with a partner who had never been climbing before midway _is_ a great beginner climb, and the better alternative to saber - the first pitch of that thing scared the hell out of me, 5.4 my ass !!

ahh, experiential learning hits a snag

Alphabet Rock - is that really appropriate for a mountie class?

No we skipped the free coffee, we had to rush to monkey face early in the morning to make sure we were the first ones on it in the cold morning - only to end up being the only climbers on that thing all day

If you make a choice between superslab and moscow, do superslab, way way better than moscow imo. if you can bring two ropes you can rap and you won't have to walk off. Winter's recommendation of the first two pitches of west side of monkey face is right on. Really really fun 5.8 that protects well. The only other thing that comes to mind is the single pitch 5.7 lyco...(something) next to captain zenolith and helium woman.

So I'm going to be in leavenworth this weekend and might do this climb. All this beta is a bit confusing though. Will Matt, cbs, alex, or greg please go up there and mark all these pro opportunities with color coded tape? And then post the key here on this thread. Then I'll print out this thread and tape it to my forearm before starting the climb. Let's see, green tape = #.75 camalot with single runner. Hmm, purple = #4 with double. I'll send for sure

FYI:

Since when are snaffles french?

Here you go Ray

Wow, look at the flame war I started WI1 in full goretex?? What an idiot!! I'ts not like I'm friends with her or anything but I've knocked backed some beers in mazama last fall and this saturday night at gustav's. She's a cool person and a good climber, lead's in the 11's and WI5 that I know of. Anyway just posted the pic because I wanted to pretend I have friends

Got the first sunburn of the year on my shiny mr clean head .. oww that hurts!!!

The best climbers climb 5.7
