Red Beckey?

[willstrickland]

Anyone know if a 3rd ed is going to be released anytime soon? Publisher doesn't have any info up on their site.

[G-spotter]

Fred said couple of months yet. Gotta translate all the napkins.

[willstrickland]

Thanks Dru. I've been holding off on buying a copy for a couple of years, maybe it'll be out by the time I move back down there.

Red Beckey.....sounds like the name of a beer.....

[Winter]

It's a holy book. Gospel according to Fred.

"And I say unto thee, only those who find the obvious gully can approach my shrine."

 

But I agree, it does sound like a potential microbrew...

The 23rd Psalm, Northwest Climber's Edition

 

The Random and Omnipotent Goddess of Northwest Weather is my Shepard; I shall want.

She maketh me to become soaked to the bone in green slide-alder thickets:

She leadeth me onto the slick-as-snot log crossing the raging waters.

She taxeth every fiber of my soul:

She leadeth me unto the way-paths of Beckey and I take His name in vain.

 

Yea, though the approach seemeth like a walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil devil's club: For thy Goretex art with me;

Thy trekking poles and thy cortisone creme, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a sucker-hole in the tempest storm for me in the presence of mine friends;

Thou annointest my head with rain, ice, and rock fall; My courage runneth away.

 

Surely Fred's "obvious gullies" and "easy 4th class terrain" shall beckon me for all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the House of the Cascades forever.

The Beckey's 23 Psalm gave me the loudest laugh of the month!!!

Now, if only the thing could answer the greatest question of all time...HOWZ DA WEDDER??

[MtnHigh]

The updated guide would have been complete by now, but Fred is putting the finishing touches on a couple of new sections titled,

Where are all the girls?

and

Road trip survival techniques: Living on saltines and decaf

If it is not out yet and it hasn't already been changed, tell Fred to add another 100 feet to Mt. Spickard.

We fixed that 2 years ago.

Horses mouth says it could be two more years yet. Mountaineers are holding it up for whatever reason, and the horse is not happy.
