My kids and I are going to hit the trails tomorrow and we’re noticing some chatter online about some possible gate closures at off-road parks right now due to the government shut down. Figured this is the place to ask if anyone knows if our local parks are affected? Is the gate to Reiter open...
Hello old friends after a long break it’s nice to be back behind the wheel of a fun machine again. Money Mark and I took enough long walks in the woods that I needed my hip replaced, so begrudgingly I have some new limitations to try to except. Wheeling in the woods with my good buddies is...
Rowin, Awesome!! Good to hear from you. Infinate Bliss, are you a climber too? Fuck we were raised well weren't we! Hit me up if you want to go climbing OR rafting.
Good stuff on this thread :awesomework:
I was bullied too. Bullies didn't want to pick on little guys so they fucked with me because I was so tall and skinny, they thought I'd be an easy target. Bullies aren't tough, they just ACT tough. Usually the guy with the loudest mouth is the one...
Cool, I'm glad your in, we'll make it happen. My Dad and I were just talking and he thinks we should have some great water levels this year. It's gonna be cold either way at night but, I have wet suits, booties, life vests and paddle jackets for you guys. We'll pack a cooler and stop and make...
The idea is to raft the river during the day so you know of any new hazards. Obviously it would have to be on a clear night with a full moon and on a river you've done many times. I would tie glow sticks to all my friends/victims and we would all have on headlamps. The headlamps are for, just...
Ok, we'll work around your schedual. When can YOU go? Requests: rock climbing, alpine, or maybe white water rafting by moon light on the wenatchee? Mark and I are doing the full moon white water trip this summer!!!!!!!!
Would be great to have you out there with us suffering and laughing my...
It's a long read, I wrote it in an article form for my own amusement. Mark should have some summit photos to add.

In typical Mark and Darby fashion we struck out at 9:00 at night with the intent of climbing Snoqualmie Mountain over the next 2 days. A mountain we knew...
Mark has been doing awesome! He's able to climb all day for extended periods of time (most everyone else is only good for 2 hrs) and there hasn't been a multi pitch yet that he wasn't able to follow. The 5.10 he led was verticle and VERY arm pumpy. There's a ton of less verticle delicate...
Elements of "Extreme Snowshoeing"; Probably a Night mission, you have to say "slip and die" atleast once an hour, must sleep out in the snow overnite, find yourself wishing for a rope, you will probably tumble faster than the avalanche you start, no map and a vague sense of directions in a...
Money and I have been doing a ton of overnite snow shoe missions, there's some truly beautifull spots up at snoqualmie pass. Rainer and Baker are sweet too. I always like new people on the trail with us, hit money up if you want to tag along and can keep up, i'm not on here very much anymore...

Pic of the boulder out near Walker Valley. We climbed on it a little last weekend. It's called Equinox and it's super secret in the climbing community. We like being in the know, thanks Mauler

What the article doesnt say is that we had to climb that 5.10 in the rain because the editor was on a deadline. He wasnt a bad climber either, with a little work he cruised...
Infinate Bliss is not chopped! The route is still there, waiting for us.......
I went out the middle fork rd and did some hiking, found the trail head for infinate bliss. Hiked up there and finally put some eyes on this beautiful bigwall. Id say at 23 pitches that it certainly qualifies as...
