thanks for the info! c'mon people... climbing at night, riding a chair lift to the climb... is there a better way to unwind after work?

mattp, we'll do both of those, and while we're at it we'll make sure that anyone who meets us up there will ski/board away with a good impression of ice climbers btw, how does one include in their reply a previous post that they want to address?

i've never climbed there either, but the time i have free to climb on the weekends is looking thin and so i've decided to climb at night so i can get more laps in and make improvements before everything melts this year. i went to the above mentioned flows upvalley on sat, and they were covered with snow. it was suggested to me that i climb the inbounds flow, but i decided against it because i didn't want to be there attracting attention while alpental was busy... so by climbing at night i will 1. be able to keep my nonclimbing commitments and get some more practice in on the ice before its gone, and 2. not attract attract too much attention to myself while doing it as i presume there will be few skiers there. if that seems just too horrible then go get yourself a badge and gun cuz you must be the ice police

so my weekends are looking way too busy for february and i'm getting nervous that i won't get on anymore ice this season while looking through loren's website (cascadeclimber.com... check it out if you haven't already) i found a great idea... climb at the in bounds flow at alpental at night! so here's the deal: i want to go out there after work while the ice is still there. i get off (work that is) at 5pm, but can arrange to leave maybe 1hr earlier. i'm looking for eastsiders or people that can meet me over there as i live in bellevue and don't want to drive back into seattle at 11pm. i have a car (4wd) and will drive. i guess its pretty extreme measures to go through this trouble for maybe 3hrs of tr'ing, but it could be my last option for this year... any takers? post, pm, or e-mail if interested or if i left something out and you've got a question

don't you mean master-beta?

shit! half the people veggie and i climb with are the mirror image of the Olympic Master... just over in the cascades. no offense to anyone of you cascade masters reading this... but damn we've done some stupid ass summits! i will say this though, my tolerance for pain and misery has gone up 10 fold since getting in with that group. maybe someday i'll be 1/2 as tough as stefan of course i know that in the back of veggie's twisted mind i'll always be a pussy sport climber... fer' sur and just to put some perspective on these super summit baggers i did a trip last winter with a guy whose DOG reached its 200th summit! (the dog was about 5yrs old)

rei brand sleeping bags are shot from day 1. in my opinion (not that you will care) don't go cheap on your sleeping bags. ie only buy bags with high quality down/construction and if you're buying a synthetic get primaloft or polar guard delta. go to promountainsports for the primaloft bags.

hey that's not the 'tude we're used to seeing from the antagonizer... get in character man

whoa! antagonizer is all fired up. go man go! you gonna f*ck the brain holes when you're done

okay so i will likely take a beating on this one but... what are some good techniques for cleaning pins on alpine ice routes? thanks in advance!

ahhh. klingon reveals himself as "horny bastard" #1 you said it first buddy. i think our ride is pretty full to the lillooet drink o' thon, but if that changes your welcome to come along. i'm harmless myself (as in married) but i'd watch out for the klingon. as for you capt. kirk... (i love how these names can evolve) if icegirl isn't down let me know and i'll follow you up some slushy fun sometime. cheers mates

whoooohooooo aiyyyaaaaaayiiiaaaa bring on the ice... cold beers in lillowet!

weiner! oh um i mean winner

chucK has reminded me of a term used to taunt people that have yardsaled it (another good one) while at a safe distance on the charlift... FUBAR. anyone know what it means?

veggie i still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at your reply

vegetablebelay sick hard pull-down i like the term manky... i use it to effectively communicate to my partners that i do not intend to lead the indicated section w/o actually having to say that i am pussing out (that's just implied)

maybe we should let chucK demostrate the solo-fall, and when you do that chucK, please keep quiet so that anyone below you can stand there unknowingly until your drops down on them like a ton o' bricks (that's not meant to be a fat joke spray on!

caveman. i was at castle that day the walkie talkie came u tumblin' down... and it DID hit me. i had no idea they were mtnr's. i can't remember exactly but i think she didn't yell anything b/c she didn't know what to call out... radio? wtf! its like when you're rock climbing and something falls... rock! bitch! rock!

caveman... do you find that you scare off many would-be girlfriends with those sharp serrated gonads of yours that can take you up the EDM?

that's the right area. the lower falls is lower angle and can hold alot of snow. when the route is bare top to bottom it is 50+ meters. 2.5 hr drive for a snow plastered route... but when you're in the 'ham visiting the in laws for christmas like i will be... happy holidays!

as per david letterman (years ago)... paul newman owns a volvo wagon with mods that "from 20-80 will chew anyone's "

when i get a dog he will be a black lab... and i'm gonna name him PROPHET
