MCash Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 We are busy preparing for next weekend. Check the forecast. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 You should be climbing everyweekend! Â A manifesto for the weekend!!!!! Â Â 1. We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness. 2. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt. 3. Cascadeclimbers.com has up to now magnified pensive immobility, ecstasy and slumber. We want to exalt movements of aggression, feverish sleeplessness, the double march, the perilous leap, the slap and the blow with the fist. 4. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. An enchainment is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. 5. We want to sing the man without leashes, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit. 6. The climber must spend himself with warmth, glamour and prodigality to increase the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements. 7. Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Climbing must be a violent assault on the forces of nature, to force them to bow before man. 8. We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed. 9. We want to glorify climbing - the only cure for the world. 10. We want to demolish guidebooks, trip reports, guideservices and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice. 11. We will sing of the great climbers agitated by desire, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in the cascades: the nocturnal vibration of the arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous roadways devouring smoking serpents; climbers suspended from the clouds by the thread of their rope; bridges with the leap of climbers flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny rivers: adventurous climbers sniffing the horizon; climbers charging to the Cascades to the flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds.

Just wondering how hard the rain crust has set up, and to what approximate elevation. Nothing current on TAY right now. Â The rain crust is pretty variable right now. Hard as a rock in some spots & you can actually punch through in others. Sweet stuff on top of it. Quote

Â You write that yourself, Petey? What's that? ...I didn't think so. Seems to me that's a little "free borrowing" from a certain F. T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto". Â Quote
