layton Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 massive partner failures have occured need partners. any day of the week till oct (with some exceptions) want to climb. Quote
dberdinka Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 It will never bail on you. It will never be digging around for another Snickers while you're fiddling around at the crux. Quote
mec Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 how well do those things actually work? $225 is expensive!!!!!! Quote
Kevin_Matlock Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Just as good (good enough), only cheaper... gri gri If you are worried about it not catching, throw in the occasional knot on the slack side. It's what I use with no complaints. Quote
layton Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 thanks dave. i'll call ya when the weather's good and i got a day. luckily i've got some bites already. i hardly ever sport climb, but it can be fun...i just suck. you should re-PM me with your number and delete it from the main board. spambots troll here for phone #'s Quote
Guest Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 thanks for the heads up. i'll just cut and paste to a pm. my schedule runs like this. mondays after 1:20pm open for index or little si, wednesdays after 1:20pm at little si, and saturdays aiding/trad. at index and if i'm not doing that i'll be at little si. that's my routine every week as long as i have enough gas. i'm also free some fridays and sundays if absolutely necessary. dave Quote
Juan Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I am looking to get out this Wed., with a Tues. night trailhead bivi. Work could interfere, but I will know by Mon. Something at Cascade Pass would be preferred, with strong preference to N. Face of Buckner or E. Ridge of J'Berg in a day via CJ Col then out via Doug's Direct. PM me if interested. Thanks, John Sharp Quote
layton Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 thanks john. got a partner for this week Quote
Juan Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Too clean and no steep snow. Do I look like TimL? Juan Quote
plark42 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I am living in Portland for the summer and I am also looking for a partner or two to go up mountains until august. I am experienced with glacier travel and crevasse rescue and I have done a fair share of 14ers in Colorado- I am up to do mt. hood or adams this weekend if you want to come. Quote
layton Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 no thanks! i'm in bellingham and have a moratorium on glaciated peak slogs. look at that guy who's a NOLS alum (just posted for a partner) i bet he'd be perfect. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Isn't there some written test to climb with NOLS alums? Quote
plark42 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I AM the NOLS alum who just posted earlier... I totally want to do a glaciated route but I've found that it's hard to find that kind of partner(s) who are experienced and confident. I am super down though. Saying I'm a NOLS alum just lets people know what level of technical climbing experience I have- (mostly glaciers and snow/ice)... Of course there is no written test (LOL) but I am willing to teach those who are willing to learn. Quote
layton Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 you should solo the hogsback (but pm yourself to make sure). just joking. anyway, those routes aren't my bag, but i know they are plent o' folks interested. have fun! Quote
plark42 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 What type of routes do you enjoy? I would be game to do whatever (I would prefer to do something involving ropes and glaciers anyways)... I am open to suggestion! Quote
layton Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 lets climb when i'm back in oregon this fall...i'm good for now. Quote
slamole Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Looking to climb glaciers till the season's over. Shuksan, Baker, Challenger, etc. Let me know if you're interested. Quote
Divot Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 OkOk, we will climb the mounatins together forever my friend, we will. Quote
