Cascade (and other places) Trip Reports
Here are descriptions/trip reports from some of the climbs I've done
recently. Ok, it's not all climbing...
Please note that many of these reports were
reconstructed from my sometimes hazy memory, so all information
contained in them should be considered subject to verification.
Climbing is a dangerous sport and I take no responsibility for the
things that people might do based on these reports, etc etc etc.

1999
1999 was kind of an off year for me. I was working too much in
a city that's not close enough to the mountains. I have a vague
memory of going to Yosemite with my brother and climbing "After
Six." The next day we nearly got killed by a largish rockfall
along the Yosemite falls trail... I climbed in
the gym alot....
2000
A somewhat better year, still working too hard, but finally took a
leave and went on a nice trip to Bishop, CA for 5 weeks in
September/October.
