nolanr Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 There are (or were c. 1991-92) some shrooms growing in a lawn by some of the dorms at the Univ. of Puget Sound in Tacoma, the armpit of Seattle. Adds a whole new meaning to an institution of higher learning, doesn't it? Quote

nolanr Posted July 3, 2001 Posted July 3, 2001 Darn right Dru. In fact I thought my roommate was pulling my leg when he explained what those guys crawling on their hands and knees in the grass were doing. "Hallucinogenic mushrooms, yeah right." But I do know this much, you don't eat 'em, you boil 'em and make 'em into tea. Quote
freak Posted July 5, 2001 Posted July 5, 2001 Umm captian, I guesse is there any scrambles in Cali Towolomee (SP) that are totally bomb proof easy cracks like 5.4 and straight forward walk offs, I just wanna bring my shoes and chalk bagg. goin to the Valley for 3 weeks then gonna head into the high country to get away for a while. nic Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted July 5, 2001 Posted July 5, 2001 I dunno I am sure there are but I dunno where. Quote
erik Posted July 5, 2001 Posted July 5, 2001 freak, check out cathedral peak in toulome, nice chill hike, apprently there is some 5.6 moves, and a little down climb off the summit. also the echo peaks and the matthes crest. anything in that range has some really sweat soloable stuff with walk offs. another thing that i recommend is to run between toulome and the valley via tenya canyon and solo clouds rest. very nice, i think technically it is the biggest face in america. though you will need a 50 ft section of cord to rap in the canyon, you don't need to rap, but the slot canyon is better then gravely ledges.

freak Posted July 9, 2001 Posted July 9, 2001 Thanks,, IM stoaked to go exploreing down there. nic Quote
gapertimmy Posted July 9, 2001 Posted July 9, 2001 if you go up clouds rest, i'd reccomend a bivy on top, not because you have to, but just because the view is so amazing. out of my 3 mos spent down there, the night i spent on clouds rest was one of the most memorable experiences. Quote

Currently, Tuolumne Meadows is completely clear of snow but, unfortunately, the mosquitos are out in full force. Be sure to bring plenty of bug juice and wear pants whenever possible. Thunderstorm activity is high so be prepared to bail off a climb if clouds start to build up." Â Quote
miker Posted July 17, 2001 Author Posted July 17, 2001 Thanks to all who recommended I go for Fairview. We had an excellent day, took about 8 hours, but we were a bit slow and stopped for lunch on Crescent ledge. An excellent climb and I even did all of the 5.9 variations like the roof. A wonderful, clean climb with great protection and sweet cracks. Also checked off a few other classics -Golfer's Route-short but fun -West Crack on Daff Dome-Actually felt harder than Fairview, due to the sustained nature and cold while waiting for team in front of us at the first belay point. That's what we get for doing the popular route on Saturday. I will have pictures available to view on the internet some day soon. Mike  Quote
miker Posted July 23, 2001 Author Posted July 23, 2001 OK all, the pictures from my Tuolomne Climbing trip are posted at this site. Fairview Dome, Golfer's and West Crack pictures. Very cool. I do so love digital cameras. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1598138&a=13521701&f=0 Quote
