swaterfall Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 I'm not quite at my wit's end here but I'm getting close. My friends back in CO are taunting me because after a terrible (warm) March I left, but April is kicking ass. Oh well. Now I'm here (Portland, Seattle, B'ham, wherever I park my car) but I don't really know any one to climb with. I've got a pretty infrequent work schedule so I have a lot of time right now to stare at routes that cross glaciers or are too technical for me to solo and it's starting to get to me. What I'd like, ideally, is to meet up w/ a few peeps, do some moderate routes, build up a little trust and go for some harder stuff. Mostly I like to stick with ice and snow, but I love rock climbing too. It seems like most of the people who post regularly here already have a good crew, but there has got to be a few out there who need parters too. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 s, i'm getting the same taunting. apparently colorado has received shitloads of freshies since we left. wtf? as soon as i get settled in squish i'll be more available to hit up some routes with ya. Quote

Thanks for cruising to Mt Erie last week. Maybe next time we'll do more climbing and less bush-wacking. Speaking of Mt. Erie, can anyone here suggest a good multipitch on the East Buttress in the range of 5.6 to 5.9 that can be protected mostly by stoppers? Quote
catbirdseat Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Almost anything at Erie can be protected mostly with stoppers. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 almost anything anywhere can be protected mostly with stoppers. if you got the right stoppers. Quote
Eerie Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Catbird said Almost anything at Erie can be protected mostly with stoppers. Weren't all those "sport" routes on snag buttress originally trad? protectable with stoppers... Quote
ashw_justin Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Cool cuz between us swaterfall and I, I think we have two full sets of stoppers and like 3 cams. Now if it would only stop raining... Quote
thelawgoddess Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 why you scared of a little rain? (just kidding; i feel your pain!) Quote
