Peter_Puget Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 …acording to Peter Puget There is more talk about BBQs than climbing on this site! What did everyone do last weekend? Epics? Adventures? I was dragged to a really crappy crag. As a result I am applying the “3 strikes you’re out” rule to my goofy partner who wouldn’t know choss from perfection if they were staring him in the face. Of course Erik is the obvious exception to the rule! PP Quote
erik Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 pete when we going climbing???? or are you still outta shape?? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 Thrashed my way to a cliff (imagine a hideous jungle) The cliff made Amazonia look like El Cap. Rapped off. Went home; had a beer. Quote
Bug Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 It was father's day so I "climbed" to Barclay lake with my little fire starters. They got one going. I polished off a bottle of red. We took the beach condo with a view of the north face of Mt. Baring. There was not much else to mention except that I got a box of malted milk balls as a present. I had my 10x25's and spent hours scoping potential routes. There are none. The mountain is choss. Quote

Peter_Puget Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 Sounds like a good weekend. Many years ago I made the same hike with my little ones. I remember because someone hiked up with a big dog and my oldest exclaimed, “look Dad a horse.” Baring looks cool but that approach? - I’d rather fly to Yosemite. Damn! TLG I think I am falling you! But I could never compete with RumR (or anybody for that matter) BTW Erik I am way FAT! Peter Quote

chucK Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Nice Peter! Look at this CLIMBING thread you got going . My exciting climbing weekend consisted of 3- hours on Saturday at Index alone (see Index TR) and then cajoling the wife and younguns out to The Rock for 3 more hours on Father's Day. My daughter sent the slab about 10 times . My son's got the makings of a champion sport climber. He liked to yell "tension" then jump up off the rock so the rope would pull him up the climb. Quote

JGowans Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Had an epic weekend on Shuksan. Hiked up to camp on Saturday. Set off at 6am on Sunday, turned back from the gully due to excessive ice, and we only had 4 pickets. Only 1 group had the balls to take it to the top up the gully. They were unroped and were very careful to say the least. There was a lot of ice fall down the gully. I saw at least 4 other groups turn back. Then, we attempted the rock climb up the South-East ridge. Pretty easy 4th & 5th class moves. Since I was with my Mounties group and there were 9 of us (I know), we didn't make it up in time. Some of us were on the last pitch when the leader decided it was too late (1 did actually summit though). Got back to camp at 9pm. Set off for the trail at 9.45pm. Got a bit lost on the trail down in the dark. Got back to cars at 2am. Tucked up in bed at 5.15am. Spraying at 3.45pm. I gotta say, although we didn't make it to the summit, it was a great alpine experience out there. That was the first time on Shuksan, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Once the fog lifted, the summit pyramid was pretty spectacular. Not to mention the views of Baker and other N. Cascade peaks. Quote
