Dulton Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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!

dryad Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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! Â On Sunday I want to go skiing. Anyone want to come along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's not a class in orienteering, it is a course through which I, and other friends, will navigate at great speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Competative orienteering huh? So do you have all that wacky orienteering gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr666 Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share 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.
