This is a great thread, Nate ... thanks for sharing. If even one person learns something from what you've written, that's great. Another lesson that I picked up on in your story is one that is universally applicable across all forms of climbing: if you're going to change plans, give the new plan as ...

Ok then. Enjoy your search.

They still won't give up that hoary old nonsense about the Chief being "the world’s second largest granite monolith". It's tiresome, almost reedonkulous. The chamber of commerce or tourism bureau or something seems to have come up with the absurd claim decades ago, and continue to embarrass themsel...

Being 'adventurous' has no bearing on a crag that is so close to the city. If you want less people, you need to get...
