tomtom Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Sat: Hiked up Bandera in time for the sun to come out at noon. The new Ira Spring trail is quite the hiking highway. Sun: Bucket of balls at the driving range, an hour at UW rock, and a round of golf at the Greenlake Golf Course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Good thing you were wearing that helmet! Â He wasn't wearing the helmet at the time; that pic was taken on our way down. helmets wouldn't have helped for shit. Apparently nothing exciting ever happens when you live on an island; we heard about Billygoat's "near death" experience all fucking night. It was spicy, for sure. Â Â Yeah, well at least I didn't have my arms around Vegetablebelay screaming like a little girl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Anderson Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Sat: worked. Â Sun: Applied Jackhammer and sawzall to your typical Seattle cinderblock and concrete one car garage. Jackahammered the two long sides of the roof, exposing the rebar. Then cut the rebar. The last three "pinged!" as I cut through them because of the tension from holding up the cement slab roof. The roof collapsed immediately after severing the last rebar on one side. Then the far side wall also collapsed. Bunch of noise. Bunch of dust. Pretty freakin' stellar. Â This demolition will make room for a driveway that will reach my new two car garage (in the back yard). The garage will be almost entirely devoted to bouldering and will have 12 foot ceilings. I anticipate three walls: 45 degree, 30 degree and 20 degree. This should help me deal with the way I spent Saturday (an ongoing problem of late).

Zoran Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I climbed in Squamish late Friday afternoon with my friend Raphael. We did few top roping climbs in Burgers and Fries and we practiced leading on one 5.7. Saturday and Sunday I spent with my friend Marjan pushing hard to climb Northeast Arete of Mt. Wedge, Whistler area. We retreated in heavy snow storm just above 7000 ft. We had great time anyway. Hut was deserted because weekend forecast was not promising. For a first time we ate all food we had and we slept more than on 5 previous overnight climbs. Regards, Zoran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hut was deserted because weekend forecast was not promising... Â You Canadians are so hardcore. None of that wussy business of lugging a tent around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoran Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I see ... I am new Canadian. Originally I am from Europe. I have to admit that whenever I see hut, my heart start beating faster. Here in the mountains, so many times I see 5-6 tents around empty hut!? Back home that hut will have permanent custodian, beautiful kitchen with muffins, beer and hot soup. If you didn't finish your climb for any reason you will leave your gear there and come next weekend. Everybody will know you by your name, were are you from and your climbing abilities. So, I learned my lesson here. I carry my bivy sack or tent most of the time, but periodically I go in just to see old fashioned way of mountaineering. I better stop or I will start crying.
