	Hasn't voted	Bummer! Well, you guys are always welcome to stay with us when you come. Smith, now you're talking! :) How late is too late to go there in the fall? Etsuko is healing well but it may be another 1-2 months before she can climb on real rock. I guess sport climbing may be a way to go for her this year since it is usually steep and has smaller injury risk... I definitely want to make it happen this year!

	Hasn't voted	Misha, goes without saying that you guys will stay with us during your return trip to PNW. As for Smith, Oct. is probably the optimal month weatherwise. But many years, we have have good weather into November and pretty much climbable conditions year round (October we still might have stable weather for some cragging in other places like Darrington or WA Pass). Smith crowds start dying down after like mid October or so. Good to hear about Etsuko's foot recovering fast! talk to you later Radek

	Voted 10/10	We basically got to the top of the initial steep section that gains the crest when it started spitting. A light hail started, then lightning from various places around us, then heavy hail! Using one rope to rap' meant we also had to traverse a pitch to get to a suitable lower rap' station (i.e. largish trees). Man, that was an adventure.

	Hasn't voted	Man, you have some bad luck with this climb. Both times when I climbed it, the weather was impeccable. Well, third time is going to be the charm for you!! :) I am sure that it was beautiful and fun nevertheless.
