JayB Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Sweet early season weather-window, no holliday-plan conflicts to work around, and (surprise) no one's talking about their plans for the weekend for fear of generating the giga-gaper infestation on their chosen line. Use this thread to: 1. Talk about your secret line on Monday once the weather window has closed. 2. Vote for The Line Most Likely to Be Seiged by the Multi-Man Megacluster. (My votes: 1. The North Face of Hood. Hands down favorite. 2. NW Couloir on Eldo - a close second with a minumum of seven parties on it by noon on Saturday). 3. Any ice near the Coleman Glacier on Baker.) 3. Avenge past slights or poached lines of the past by making up avatars to disclose your enemy's secret project to the lurking hordes and watch as they descend upon it with lemmingesque abandon. Quote
Dru Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I have no secret plans and I will tell you what happens on Wednesday cuz Mon and Tues are holiday too Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 This problem is easily skirted altogether by climbing at Smith Rock, where your project is going to be mobbed by hordes of slavering stick-clippers regardless of how many or how few people you notify of your intent. It's beautiful, really, like the uniqueness of snowflakes or the Golden Section. Quote
mattp Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Yeah, but that sucks, DFA. Smith Rock? I hear there's phat ice on Bear Mtn. Quote

My secret weekend project is "Round The County", a 2-day sailboat race around San Juan County. I know it won't get poached by any of you suckas, because only true fools would agree to sit on their butts for 2 days sailing in this cold..without cabin heat!! If I were not sailing, I would probably be on Hood. Quote
JayB Posted November 10, 2003 Author Posted November 10, 2003 Check Paco's TR in the Ice Conditions forum for more details. He's far too modest to toot his own horn, but his lead up the mixed section was the boldest I have ever personally witnessed, let alone followed. After following the pitch and arriving at the belay I am not sure which was worse - looking at the anchor and moving towards the ice - or having Snoop Dogg and Warren G's "I'm Fly" stuck in my head....
