Let’s face it, if you’re a desk jockey and spend much time in front of a computer, you’re probably no stranger to the various online watering holes known as climbing forums.

NEIce.com – I live for the winter, and throw a party when the days start getting shorter.
CascadeClimbers.com – Hey, the Northwest isn’t just about mountaineering, we have rocks too (big ones)!
