Rad Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 a cloud of mosquitoes buzzing and biting when you're trying to belay on a small ledge... heavy, warm rain in the mountains in January right before your long-planned trip to Whistler... crying kids needing attention when you and your SO are just starting to get into some really nice adult activities... OK, your turn to lament the crappy climbing weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra_Commander Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 whatever. it could be 110 like it is in the rest of the country. Personally I don't mind the occasional rainy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 "2nd son" is home from Japan - for a while. Hasn't seen us for a year. I had plans to go get some. Then I saw the rain and wet streets this am. Now I look like a responsible and loving father...being the family man. Sometimes it just works out, It's not like I haven't gotten some climbing in yet:-) Shit, I think a rest day may even have been needed. It's all good.

Dannible Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 It's like the end of your long-planned trip in the mtns, and a wet hitch-hike home. The worst part is the lowland sun that makes me keep wondering how bad it really is up there. Aw well, it'll get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Rain in August …welcome to the real Washington Rain :rawk:it's sooo refreshing When I hear rain drops hit’n the roof I always think of it as the sound of californacators and colomofo’s feet running back to cali and colorado :tup: Yep Oregon too. I don't mind the rain. it means i get to stay home and eat icecream. it means i don't have to turn on the hose to water the stoopid grass. it means i don't mind being at work and that my house gets clean for the first time all summer. it means it is a good day to go for an easy hike some place where i can listen to the raindrops and the wind in the trees and smell air that is so fresh it makes me want to do a little *happy dance* while i am walking around. I love the PNW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I love rain also however there is a time and place and postholing up in the rain to your favorite summit isn't one of them, I much prefer a heavy snow to a downpour. why now God Why???? what did I ever do to you.....
