Peter_Puget Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Where's yours? Â Climbed Thin Fingers. Crux was the top of the "first pitch." Avoided the real crux by coming in from the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Let's I went back as far as November and then strarted getting tired. I didn't see a single TR from you PP? What's up with that. Â What kind of excuse is that Dirty Harry, shit at least you could come up with something original like, my dog ate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well Ken I was in the hospital in November and part of December (my posts were grumpy then) Two weeks ago I was in Hawaii for a 2 weeks and believe it or not in the hospital yet again just before then.

DirtyHarry Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 What kind of excuse is that Dirty Harry, shit at least you could come up with something original like, my dog ate it.

ken4ord Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Ok here's mine I rode 50 miles at 7000 feet and higher through Nyungwe Forrest on Friday. It was one of the coolest rides I have ever done, tough though. Didn't see any snaffles, but I did see a troop of about 50 Colobus taking turns doing 10m Parkour jumps from trees. Then saw some golden monkeys, mountain monkeys and some Turraco's. Then Saturday and Sunday was spent hiking through the jungle and checking out waterfalls.

Peter_Puget Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 I need to find GK to get on your cases. It was warm and sunny in the afternoon at Index. Only two parties where there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 apparently not warm and sunny enough to send Thin Fingers, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 TR Â Skied out of bounds and didn't avoid avalanches. Â Sunday I took a nap then finished my taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I drove down to Smith for the first time in over 4 years. I was much stronger then; I climb better now. Â Fun climbs of the weekend: Â + Zebra (no Zion, for fear the snow would turn to rain) + Chain Reaction (way easier in the past) + Heresy (way easier now that I can climb) + Phoenix (absence makes the heart grow fonder) + Karate Crack (why are the anchors so low in the cave?) + Magic Light (oh gosh, this climb is smooth) Â Many easter eggs were to be found all over the park. Many signs of pagan springtime celebration: baby rabbits, baby geese, baby deer, and the hillsides at Smith Rock were actually green. Â I suppose that a trip to Smith is successful if you want to return. Â Success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkemp Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 A skills refresher weekend for me. On Saturday I led a group from the club to Hyak for glacier skills refresher - team arrest, crevasse rescue, etc. On Sunday I got together with a fellow and practiced knots and munter/mule combinations, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foraker Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 2-day mogul camp at Whistler. It looked like Christmas there with all the snow coming down...or...what Christmas *should* have looked like there...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend_Climberz Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I did some yardwork, but noone wants to hear about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Moguls? That's old school, man. You wear stretch pants and a neon headband when you ski the bumps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I did some yardwork, but noone wants to hear about that. I did quite a bit of that, too, along with electrical work. Â Sunday afternoon, my buddy Jim called me up wanting to go to Exit 38. The sun was out so, "what the heck", I thought. Â We drive out there and hit this huge downpour coming into North Bend. It stops as we arrive at the Trestle parking lot. The mountains are pretty in their new mantle of snow. The snow level of 2,500 ft is pretty damn low for April, I thought. Â We hiked up to Nevermind Wall to find drips cascading down and most of the reliably dry routes damp. Only one nearly dry route- Neverigine, 5.10a. Â Jim led it and took longer than usual as the rock was cold. Now it was my turn to clean on top rope. Holy Mother! The rock was cold! I should have belayed with gloves on, because now I couldn't feel my finger tips. Â I had to call for a take half way up so I could blow on my hands. Continuing on, a foot blew on a wet hold, but I had good hands. Then screaming barfies at the chains. Â It didn't take any persuading at all to talk Jim into calling it a day. We both agreed that Neverigine is a damn fine route that could be better appreciated if it was warmer. Â No sooner do we enter the freeway, but another downpour lets loose. How's that for timing?

foraker Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 old school: def. that which the new school finds too difficult to do (possibly the result of too much brain damage caused by crushing their nuts on a rail in the terrain park) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Moguls? That's old school, man. You wear stretch pants and a neon headband when you ski the bumps? Â hey- neon is making a comeback on the slopes. Thursday- Climbed a 11worth with my bro (11worth rocks) Friday-climbed at Vantage Crux of weekend: trying to pull over on the freeway home when a tick was climbing on the steering wheel and goin' for me.
