"The place having the most fun!"    Vantage was the most fun!

Tazz asks,"Its a 5.? what?"  Yana, leading replies "it is a 5.suck!"   

WOW!!! Incredible company, great weather, great place to be,  and fun, hard climbing. Oh yeah and no falling and breaking my teeth this time ...   I can’t think of anything so great!!

Spent the day climbing at Vantage again. Yeah, I know another report from Vantage...   I have lots of pics to share though...

It was so perfect. Yana lead all the route but 2.You ROCK Yana!!!! Thank-you!  Thanks to Mntwkr for his epic 5.9 lead!!    NOT! We chose route thinking it was a 5.9...come to find out it is a 5.10a. Good work Mntwkr!  I finished this awesome route!!  Whoo hoo!!  The crux was fun!! There was one more 5.10 that I made it through the crux but bonked after that. That one was a long route!!  I forgot how much I  LOVE climbing!!

I had fun shooting pics. Yes lots of butt shots.

Again... thanks folks for a great day on the rock!!!

Tazz, you have it all wrong. That was a 5.stupid, not a 5.suck. :-)

Thanks for the photos and the good times!

  oops I was trying to remember if it was stupid or suck.  Oh well...still funny!!

Best place to climb? Where ever I am at.

Still, 5.stupid beats 5.choss hands down.

Looks like a good time - one of these days I'll have to drag myself out there.

[Randy]

Looks like fun! Do this on the weekend sometime so I can go! 

[Yana]

Well, the stupid actually indicated my decision to lead it, not the route itself (which was lovely). But either way much better than 5.choss.

Randy - I see a weekend Vantage trip in my future at some point, but it's just not nearly as fun when the place is swarming with people. I will also be frequenting exit 38 on weekday afternoon/evenings once the weather allows it/days get longer if you are interested.

More great pics, nice. I'll have to head down there sometime...if anyone is leaving from the Seattle area and wants another belayer/easy top-roping climber send me a PM.

Yana,
Randy and I have been discussing the same about exit 38!  Wed evenings when the days get longer.   

[Guiran]

I'd be in for Wed trips to 38 as well.

[dacker]

Hey Yana! Mid-week daytime trips to Exit 38?? Yee-haa! Sign me up!! 
Wanna go to Mt. Erie and get in a little trad too?

I took a few shots worth posting..

There's a mostly unspoken acknowledgment among the voluntarily impoverished that it's better to be fiscally poor yet rich in experience-living the dream-than to be traditionally wealthy but live separate from one's passions.

Nice shots Josh!
Yay to Nature for the puffy cloud action!

I'm not always sure I like being older but being less stupid has advantages.

[tazz]

Awesome shots Josh!!!    Love the close up of Carla!  good stuff. Thanks for adding them on.

[jimmymac]

Great shots everybody!
