Beckey Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 Hello, I am trying to contact someone that has a good description and topo of Temple routes on Kangaroo Ridge. Please send email to Thank you. Quote
Lambone Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 ummm...I hear the Becky guide has a decent topo. Sorry, couldn't resist... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 Fred, Do you think Lambone is serious he never sent you the email and has he done your route? Hehe I doubt it unless he sends the email Seriuosly though I heard Fred saying he thought there was a better topo\description and he seems serious about finding it. I think he takes pride in having the most definitive guide around. Quote
Lambone Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 For sure, just messin around...good luck! Cheers Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 Werd up Lambone pass it along to your buds maybe they have an idea Quote
roboclimber Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Fred, Let's go bang a route out up there. First hand stuff. Hey would you be interested in doing a Olympic Climbers Guide book? Quote

Every route takes the obvious gully to the brushy ramp, but the last half pitch is pure joy and distinctly alpine. Quote
roboclimber Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Hey, Off White It sounds like you may have climbed Mnt Ellinor. . Just joking fellow Teninoite. Man the Olympics are indeed a brushy mess of upliffed oceanic rock with a mossy covering but it's Americas' last great least understood mountaineering mecca, don't you agree!! The area does have a couple dozen worthwhile objectives, you just have to bushwack for days to get to them. Quote
Off_White Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Yeah, I gotta agree. Seems like Caveman referred to it as "rubble" but thats not exactly accurate. Its an adventure range for sure, and while I got spanked with a slide alder switch on Washington recently, I've done several good routes on that peak, and not a lick of brush on Constance (after the approach anyway...) But whats with the Tenino sig, surely your not one of we happy few, the 1238 souls of Tenino? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I never referred to anything but the Tooth as rubble. YOu are reading into shit. Kiss my ass loser Quote

Kiss my ass loser Well, I'd kiss your ass with my boot, Corporal. Having short term memory problems? As you said in an earlier thread regarding Mt Washington: quote: I call that stuff rubble. Prime reason for me to climbe elsewhere besides these peaks....... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Ok you got me It's still rubble and you can have it. Why does it matter if I think it is a pile of shit and you don't? You think someone else can change my mind? Just passing along an opinion.. Quote
roboclimber Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Yes, I rest my ice axe in the tiny village of Tenino, where there are more pickup trucks than residents. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 How about trailers and junk cars in the yard Quote
Off_White Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Naw, it doesn't really matter what either of us think, which is part of the charm of this whole board. And I'm not necessarily in disagreement with you, I'll take the Cascades over the Olympics anyday, but I live near Olympia which puts the Olympics close, and the range does have a certain diminutive burly appeal, like a nasty old scarred up bulldog: you know you shouldn't pet it but you're tempted to anyway. I'm not trying to change your mind, just your terminology. My last outing wasn't rubble but rather more akin to approaching the picketts via stetattle creek or doing the tower route on big four, a different kind of horror that Lowell refers to as "subalpinism." Anyway, what all this has to do with Kangaroo Ridge I haven't a damned clue. Sheesh, I guess you got the loser part right Quote

roboclimber Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I'm low on the Tenino status pole. I only have one dead car and a travel trailer in my yard. However my pickup truck does work. [ 06-06-2002, 11:58 AM: Message edited by: roboclimber ] Quote
