Greg_W Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hike over to REI and get a life. Â I would do that, but my life is pretty fucking good right now. I understand if you're not having a good morning; that's okay. I hope your day gets better. I'm riding the high right now, 'cause I know that first call from my project manager will send my day into the crapper. Â Cheers.

Bug Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Do the couliour on McClellan Butte. It's the next exit past 38 on I90 or take the dirt road off 38 up to where it crosses the trail but then you are cutting off a good 800' of vertical fun. Or do a ridge run from exit 38 up past the overhang past the bridge and into bushwhack central. It gets interesting in places and you can bail into death zones at any point. A rap line and harness is handy. Lots of trees so don't worry about webbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip_M._Kliphiem Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have to second that Mailbox Peak suggestion. It's sustained steep and conveniently located. A bit hard on my cranky old knees on the downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabo Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I 2nd McClellan Butte. You also may want to check out Granite Mountain as well. It's in the N.Bend vicinity and it is a great ass kicker. Just watch out for the AV gulches near the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabo Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Stupid post, it didn't put in the link for Granite: Â http://www.summitpost.com/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/440 Â I got drooled on by a girl on the short bus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Pilchuck and Granite are good options. Haven't done mailbox or McClelland, but hear good things... Â For a nice lazy hike with a good picnic spot at the end try Lake Annette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Later in the year Silver Peak is a good trail run or quick hike. Great BC ski in early spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
