Just 5 minutes on grammar/spelling would go a long way. If you could copy/paste your text into MS Word and do a spell check, it would enhance the reading greatly. I'm no spelling bee either, but I usually just run quick spell check before I post something to my site(s). There is a ranger station in Pinedale worth referencing for checking mountain conditions.
*8.17.04 - Nice improvements. Thanks for the reminder on my initial vote.
thank you for the good vote. I'm still actually revising the Overview section of the Main Page (what's there is from the previous maintainer of this page).......just can't get around to finishing it.
Nice page (except for the erroneous apostrophe in the name).
So are you going to submit something that you did last summer or fall or this winter for the Northwest Mountaineering Journal? Come one, the NWMJ is counting on YOU.
Thanks for the good vote Paul. The apostrophe is now dead.
Come on man, you're pulling my leg with the journal submission thing, right? Aren't you guys looking for something more "hard core"-type - as in 1st ascent, first winter ascent, first naked ascent etc....(not trying to be a sarcastic smart a.. but I did not think that anything we did was worthwhile reading for others)?
Rock climbing adventures count for the NWMJ too. I thought maybe you had done something new (not done before) this year that is worth mentioning. Something on Steins Pillar? The journal seeks short reports (100-500 words) and long reports (1500-2500 words).
2005 started out rel. slow due mostly to weather. That Whale Dome TR I wrote was pretty much the only worthwhile climb we did in '05 so far (here).
If the Steins Pillar TR (Oct. 30, 2004) qualifies as something the journal might think is worthwhile, I'd be more than happy to contribute that (either as is or I can clean it up...you know, foul language I'm so fond of and all :)
Sorry, I was confusing. I meant things you had done from July 2004 to present, not simply 2005 outings.
The Whale Dome report is not applicable to the NWMJ.
The Steins Pillar report is applicable. Given the dearth of reports on this formation, I think it might be worth submitting it. I'm not sure how many words it is but the limit is ~2,500 for long reports. It could be tightened if needed, so that shouldn' t be a problem. A simple imprecation here and there (especially as dialogue) is not a problem but could easily be edited out. You could submit the report. No guarantees we'd use it but that wouldn't make you cry. After all, the report's already written. There's very little work for you to do on it. There is no issue with recycling SP stuff. The report would look different in NWMJ. There would be less photos for one (or you could imbed some of them as text links--in which case you'd maybe want to link to the .jpg URL not the sp photo page URL).
White Buffalo, Grade III, 5.12d. Established by Greg Collins and Kent McBride in the early summer of 2006.
Quote from Rock and Ice magazine (Issue 156, January 2007):
"The route sports a 300-foot arching finger and hand crack that goes at 5.11a and 5.11b/c. The crux is a dicey 5.12d face that Collins and McBride protected with three bolts and two pitons."

I'll check my photos at home to see if I have a shot of Warrior II from within the Cirque.

Is there an issue with "recycling" stuff that appeared here on SP?
Anyway, if you think there's something you can use from my TR's, I'd be more than happy to contribute it.
