    No boo boo kisses. Really stressful weekend for both of us. :disappointed:

    I don't like the sound of that.. I hope the week has started off a little better for you both.. albeit with a black and blue hip.. :)

    My friend sent me an email last night "you're in this, you should probably watch it."

    wish i was there

    If I were single I'd start a guide service where I took ladies backpacking in the most beautiful mountain settings, bring in a lot of different cupcakes, and then spend the time in camp looking great and being a good listener.

    I'm finding myself coming back into the thread more and more just to see what photos you post NorthCascades. Beautiful.

    I've always wanted to do this. I'm kind of afraid of heights. I've done plenty of rock climbing, and love it. But it's never been this airy. I usually go to a crag and climb near the road, if anything ever happened help would be there a lot sooner. But I've always wanted to do this in a true alpine setting.

    For comparison's sake, this is me in my profile pic. The river isn't more than 150 feet down, and the route below me is a 5.0 to 5.2 if you go up the crack. I prefer taking it as a friction climb, going up the "blank" section under my left foot instead.

    My state is covered in trees. Plenty of logging, historically and today. They put up hundreds of lookout buildings on top of various mountains, people would spend days in them with binoculars in the days before satellites. Kerouac worked a lookout on Desolation Peak, wrote a book (Dharma Bums?) there.

    Some of them have been removed but many are still standing. Some are open to the public, you can hike to the summit and then spend a night indoors. Some are first come first served, others you can make reservations. I've never stayed in one but need to one of these days.

    This one is on the top of Lookout Mountain, near Monogram Lake, just outside the park border.
