hikerwa Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 I heard a vicious rumor that there might be some climbers that I am aquianted with going to squamish. I would love to meet up with and or give rides to some of the aforementioned climbers. Please pm me. sean Quote
mattp Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Squamish for Saturday and Sunday (Environment Canada): Chance of showers; low 6°C; high 15. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 How about next weekend? I might be up for leaving Saturday night and coming back late on Monday or Tuesday if anyone's looking for a ride and climbing partner. Would love to do some multi-pitch stuff ... Quote
sayjay Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 hikerwa-- i think those folks headed for lworth (that is, if i'm correct about who you're thinking of ...) Quote
hikerwa Posted May 17, 2002 Author Posted May 17, 2002 You may be right... Maybe I'll try to get over there saturday, although I may be cruisin' up to rainier. thanks, sean Quote
dr._jay Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 friday--sunny and dry at the smoke bluffs and malamute saturday--sunny and dry on the chief sunday--gray and dry (and unfortunately very crowded) on the apron until 3 or 4 when the rain finally came endless canadian hospitality endless entertainment by ray a guest appearance by fred a toast with alpineK after his ski tour many beers at howe sound pub--too many for some, eh crack? a bird's eye view of a crazy rollover car crash in front of the parking lot (hey dru, do you know what happened? i'm sure you were down and out by then...) all you can eat sushi in vancouver for $19 cdn what do the weathermen know? especially here in the northwest. squamish rocks!

hikerwa Posted May 20, 2002 Author Posted May 20, 2002 On and off sprinkle in l-worth all day. clamshell cave and hammerhead rock, dry, but crowded, several large groups on all the easy stuff. placed some gear on top rope, tested placements, most were pretty bomber! all in all a good day, topped off by some entertainment of a first time drunk at the restaurant bar, glad we weren't with her, and several cold ones. yay, shoulda gone to squamish.

erik Posted May 20, 2002 Posted May 20, 2002 naw you was glad you stayed in the lworth........ accidently climb scw on sat, people said it rained but i never noticed...though some of the darker, shinnier spots on the cliff seemed less positive..... did someone drop something...???? i have it! no one else was on the wall when we were....i love the wilderness in the wilderness.....we saw some people top out... didnt see larry on sat evening in the parking lot...kinda missed not being detained and interrogated after climbing.... also didnt see colin's tracks off of greybeard from the descent of scw??? not sure if he climbed it...it was warm in lworth!!! didnt even see any ice!!!!

RedMonk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 aw....sk has done her research....i am begining to like you more and more.... now....if you just would have come to leavenworth.... Quote
RedMonk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 we'll see....l'worth forthe long weekend? bring the hubby.... and no...for the record that was not sexual in nature.... how about it? Quote
sk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Sorry, Already have plans to go to smith. See you there? Quote
RedMonk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 sure i got some boys down there.... what days? can i meeet the elusive hubby as well? are there any good trad routes there...or is it all chossy sport like evryone says? Quote
sk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Student wall is trad... Basalt. Seems nice, although I'm no expert. J would be stoked to have someone to climb trad with I'm not sure what days... will post closer to the weekend on climbing partners. Quote
bellemontagne Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Aside from the Student Wall, Smith has some great basalt cracks. The (Crooked River) Gorge is full of AWESOME trad opportunities. If you can lead harder trad routes (>5.9) then you will love the Gorge. There are some classic multipitch cracks in the welded tuff though they aren't quite as aesthetically pleasing as the cracks in the gorge. However many of the topouts of the multipitch cracks have aboslutely wonderful views that make the journey (and quite possibly the wait in line) completely worth it. Quote
sk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Weather looks like it will be good. See you there!!! Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 I dropped a green metolius cam on outer space last week. Quote
RedMonk Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 thanks pretty mountain.... the gorge sounds sweet.... Quote

I think we got out of there before that car crash, we were probably eating asparagus in salsa by then. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 You're so cool Dru. I think we smoke about 15 bowls and waited 2 hours for some gal to lead a 100 foot pitch. Then dropped our ropes down for locals too scared to lead the last pitch of Diedre and while looking at NW passage heard the crash. Your chestbeating is not necessary Quote
