Dulton Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 I am attempting the south face of the Haystack on Mt. Si... hoping for some good ice.... mmmm, probably more like walking up Si and getting soaked traversing across to Teneriffe.... doesn't that sound like fun?? D'OH! Quote
dryad Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Well, on Sat I have my climbing class fundamentals field trip. Prussiking and belaying dead weights in the rain. Woo hoo! On Sunday I want to go skiing. Anyone want to come along? Quote
iain Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Dru said: lemme get this straight you are taking a *course* on how to use a frickin compass and read a map, which is all orienteering is, and your a SAR, my god what do they teach you??? It's not a class in orienteering, it is a course through which I, and other friends, will navigate at great speed. Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Competative orienteering huh? So do you have all that wacky orienteering gear? Quote
iain Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 what's that, a thumb compass and Technu? no, this is just a course set up for a mtn rescue team to keep the mental gears oiled. orienteering comps would be cool though, I got a navigation tips lecture from one of the better orienteerers(?) in the country and he had some cool map techniques. I think geocaching is more fun though. Especially for climbers. Quote
Dru Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 i saw a spoon geocached in the big pocket on Toxic once. Quote
rr666 Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Anyone have any good rainy day hikes (5-10 miles total) that are fun to do within 2 hours or so of Seattle? Basically I need to get out of town and do something this weekend, but I don't have the whole weekend to really do something. Quote
chelle Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Looks like aid climbing is where it's at. I'll be at Index when I'm not in class. Quote

David_Parker Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 A friend just got a seadoo. I HATE those things, so I thought I'd go try it with him to be sure. Good thing to do since I'll be getting wet anyway! Quote

JoshK Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 I think I'm gonna skin up the road and down to the trail to kennedy hot springs. Then I am going to force myself to sit in that cesspool of a hot springs as a punishment for the horrible drinking binge I subjected myself to last night. Quote
