yeah i think SNow Creek Wall is notorious for finding cool gear. on an attempt of Outer Space in July my partners and i found a HB cam just sitting a crack perfectly placed just waiting to be found and once we retreated we found a number 11 HB chock just sitting in the sand underneth(sp) the wall!!! WHO WOUND LEAVE A #4 CAMALOT JUST SITTING THERE? if that were my peice and the follower just left it there i would go crazy those thngs are like 80 bucks and then rappel and get it out...hahaha Aidan

i have heard that bringing one tool might be a good idea but just because it is snow covered rock. and it might be useful on the third pitch were a fall on snow would send you sliding. have fun Aidan

MR.GT, hahahaha Aidan

yo i might be up for it...e-mail me Aidan

MR.GT, dude i am in 8th grade...i hope you dont like thinking naughty thoughts about 14 year olds. you sick sick man. hahahahahha Ade, what do mean summer is coming be happy!!!!! . the tetons, rainer, baker, shuksan, the pickets, the north cascades, N. ridge of Stuart. its going to be alpine climbing for 2 mounths!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INDEX!!!!

jon, if you would check the times of the posts they are all after 4:00. they might be working, they might not be, so you shouldn't jump to conclusions. they didnt mean to put you down they just dont want another advertisment to be put on the site when another slide show rolls into town. i also agree is was annoying and would prefer if no one puts another ad on in the future. Aidan

yeah thats what i have heard cool thanks for the first had knowledge Aidan

Alpinek, thanks yeah i have heard the guano chimey is full of shit!....guess its true is the approach to the north ridge hard it lloks alfully exposed. Wolf, what does that mean? just wondering? Aidan

Paul, nicely said Aidan

Wolf, hahaha. dude if smelly poly pro turns you on ....you need serious help and i feel srry for your climbing partener when you two get back in the warm car after a nice, long, sweaty day of climbing in the north cascades, with a long drive home...... i dont even want to know....hahaha Aidan p.s. anybody here been to the Tetons ever? anyone done the north face of the grand? or BLACK ICE COULOIR!

Hey Dru, you cant forget Deprivation on the North Buttress of Mt. Hunter, VERY COOL! Aidan

hahahahaha

no one else whats to share......(snif) (snif)..heh

Does anyone have route info/current conditions/pics of the mountain? thanks Aidan

True, True

yeah those guys on the NY gully came back fine. it was Colin (he posts here regularly) and one of his climbing buddies i forget his name. the conditions of the route are as follows: no ice at all just snow covered rocks, and they couldnt find the aid pitch....weird huh? i was at home sitting on my ass looking at climbing books and my partner was out there haveing a blast without me!!!!! lame huh?...hahaha. Aidan

Geordie and Wolfboy, thanks for sharing. Aidan

David Parker, your right bolts do save lives Aidan

I agree with Rodchester and Jim, let them choose for themselves. but i also need to say that i think the people who have replyed dont under stand the point. dane talked about bolting a route that is thin ice. the smallest screw is 10 cm. now thats thin. and if anyone is climbing of stuff that is thinner, they are wrong in the head. for example steve house climbed a pitch on Howse(sp)peak, he called WI6. it was thin ice that turned it to extremely thin ice at parts it went to the second tooth of his picks. now that is scary. and although he is an awsome climber, i think he was wrong in climbing the pitch. if he had fallen he probably would have died, or been seriously hurt. but back to the point. leave the bolts for the sport climbers. Reinhold Messner called bolts " the murder of the impossible". now if you ever encounter thin ice that cant be protected traditionaly (i.e. pitons, ice screws, cams etc.), then is wasn't meant to climb and you should back down and go find some nice fat plastic blue ice Aidan

i have heard some good things about them and some bad. they dont hurt your buget and i hear the stink pretty well. the bad thing is that replacing a pick on one of these is more difficult that BD tools Aidan
