matt_warfield Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 My party of 4 has turned into a party of 2 for the Enchantments (Snow Creek entry/exit) over 9/7-9/10 (3 nights). Is there a party of 2 that would like to "join" our party and use the remaining 2 permits? We're going in early on 9/7 (6:00 a.m. ish). We would prefer 2 lovely ladies, or next best 2 ugly guys (to reduce competition for lovely ladies already in the basin), but will accept inquries from other interested parties as well. We don't really want competition on the S. Face Beckey-Davis route on Prusik Pk. on Sunday, but otherwise don't care what the joining party's agenda is, as long as they abide by the regulations and don't bring heat on us.

Cpt.Caveman Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 matt I never said permits are bad for you. I aint gonna get one but if you want to go ahead. It sure made for a good conversation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Does that mean that all of you hardmen (or women) also ignore the permit system in Boston Basin and elsewhere in Washington? Are the trail-cops more wily and hardy in some other places? Anybody been arrested? And I can play the game if necessary. Got away with a "daytrip" into Dragontail starting at about 4:00 p.m. a few years back. No rangers bivvied up on the peak..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_warfield Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Sure, that's cool. We'll try to be extra careful with all the rubble on Snafflehound Ledge- depending on how much more shit you fling! Seriously, who cares how "permitted" you are. Once you get there and touch that golden granite, you're in heaven whether you got paper or no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyperu Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 yo matt, its cool bro, no shit from me, i'm just having a good ol time, you know when some one says they gots slots to fill, its just funny you know? but seriosly, you know da deal its all about the beautiful rock, plus i dont know ka-rate, but i know ka-razy, so maybe well see ya up there,and can puff on top. enchantments and shiz... bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 No problem bp- I know you were just funning me. It's not like I haven't seen that ANY subject can be turned into sexual banter here. Besides, there would be no hanky panky on the first night- you know, performance issues. And the second night it would be only with permit holders- I'm sure that is in the USFS regulations somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Prusik Peak is an ugly dirtpile of choss. I think that maybe there are better rox at fossil rock to play on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 BTW Beckey Davis is horrible. You'll like the upper part of the chimney (and I dont mean the first 40 feet) go direct and bring your nuts or big bros. Tell me what you think the last 25 foot of handcrack is at. Heheh Kinda reminds me of that thin handcrack at index lots of people (I'm included) flails on. Sent it first but never since . I think the topo in the new Kearney book aint according to the original route (at least the first 3 pitches).

matt_warfield Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 Thanks for the comments Caveman. We're getting on it primarily because of Kearney's recommendation so we'll see how it goes. We're going to skip the chimney and take the 5.8 variation just left. I expect the summit crack to be stiff but hope the 2 pitches off Snafflehound are stellar.

matt_warfield Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 anybody that loves that initial chimney on s. face should really just continue on chimneying up burgner-stanley for full value and skip b-d. And don't forget to skip some pro too because b-s chimney pitches are too well protected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 chimmeny climbing atin bout the protection.....it is about the thrutch value......u ever fall in a chimmeny?? i haven't(and i seek then out) and i do not look forward to ever doing soooooo thrutch=fun=adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 well I agree on that. got the 50 fave climbs calendar up and if roxanna brock falls off epinephrine wearing her shorts and tank she's losing lots of skin. but she doesn't fall. the joy is in the upward movement in chimneys or the lack thereof!
