carolyn Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Another great trip out to the PNW thanks to many of you! I spent my first 7 days down at smith where I got a ton of climbing in. Thanks to Shredmaximus for showing me around the first day. A special thanks to AlpineK, Jeff, and Tex for not saying anything when I changed into shorts before I did my first true offwidth in the Gorge. I think I will have permanent scars! Uncle Tricky was my hero for sticking around an extra day or so and going up Monkey Face with me. Definately a highlight of the trip! I never laughed so hard climbing that bolted ladder. Of course all of you who were at the smith gathering...it was great to see old faces and meet new folks. Thanks Tim and Becky for the shower and bed after 7 days in the tuff! Im sure others who I met during the rest of my trip are grateful to you as well. In Lworth, I got on some MN sized climbs the first day. It was fun hanging out with Fern, dru, Alpinek, Erik, Uncle Tricky,Dave S, and a few other lurkers on the second day where we stuck close to the road bouldering and searching for more offwidths. Met a lot of new faces at the rope up. Thanks David Parker for the raffle tickets....and the rope bag! Climbing was cut a little short when the weather was obviously not going to cooperate, so it was off to explore Seattle a bit and finish off the keg at ALpineK's house. Thanks to both Alpine K and Beck for giving me places to crash! Overall...8 days of GREAT climbing out of the 10 I was there...not too bad! Looking forward to the next visit! Quote
jlag Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Was a pleasure climbing with you and Timmy. You've got amazing balance and graze when climbing. Sorry 9-gallon buckets wasn't your thing. Hope we can bust out some routes next time your around. Say hello to the midwest for me. Quote
