ryland_moore Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 No that it has relieved some of its stresses and tensions, it should be in great form tomorrow after it refreezes (assuming it will)! Quote

joepuryear Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Okay, here's the story Here's a little video from last year... ermY202UpMs P.S. I got the date wrong on the video but WTF cares? Quote
NoahT Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Timely--just read a message about WSDOT expecting 80 to 90 degree weather on HWY 20 this weekend...woah... Quote
ken4ord Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 That was rad, definitely pretty extreme looking getting pummeled from above. I was surprised to see how wide the Pencil was. I always looked up at that thing and it looks like a pencil from the road. Good work on the climb and vid. Quote
sobo Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Sweet! Very nice! "...After Avalanche #3, it was time to bail..." Classic! Bad Nodder! Joe, if your mom saw you do that, she'd kick your scrawny little ass from here to next Thursday! Quote
Raindawg Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Great video....but the "soundtrack" made me want to jump out a window. Yo, yo....homeys! How about remixing it to something the whole family could enjoy without requiring a bleep every 5 seconds and an urban dictionary. Glad you survived the ordeal. Quote
joepuryear Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 More like every 3 seconds... Ken, we were surprised at how wide it was too, having always thought it to be more of a pillar. The ice was really shitty though, and as Cappellini pointed out - probably about ready to detach and fall down. Shitty ice in Washington? Sorry for being redundant. Quote
Dane Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 "Shitty ice in Washington? Sorry for being redundant." Stoke and reminder from Joe... Quote
