And doesn't daylight savings time start this weekend? = extra after work pitches.

Sounds just like vantage to me, except they cart off the carcasses too quickly. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a bug. At least there is still the excrement.

The power drill and the fools driving them have made a travesty of climbing at The Coulee. They are the only reason that the place is regulated now.

A 2nd vote for Rat Creek. I recall one especially memorable section of bus-size talus with the floor between the blocks covered with devil's club and slide alder sweeping over the tops.

OK then. It's 5.10.

quote: Originally posted by chucK: Anybody climbed Lingerie? That's rated 11d or something did not seem too bad (on toprope) if you just stemmed out to Sex Party the whole time. That is exactly the case. If you stem to Sex Party at all then you have not climbed Lingerie. And likewise, the crux is at the start and is very difficult to hang on and place pro well enough to keep yourself off the deck. Lead Lingerie without stemming to the climb left of it and you will have no doubt that it is all of 5.11d.

quote: Originally posted by kevin page: It's been snowing here in Leav every day since at least monday. Everything is buried and probably won't get back to climbable conditions for at least a week or two. Kevin, You have a keen grasp of the obvious.

quote: Originally posted by Jarred Jackman: Don't know how cold you like it, but Vantage was 26 degrees cold yesterday. I was out there the day before and climbed "Corner Pockets" with my five-year old. Buck up.

Ray,Guiness from a can? You are a degenerate. Free,I will chill on the name calling. But realize that I am here primarily for the entertainment value. Hitching nylon onto wire is still stupid, for reasons obvious to "almost" everyone. And hitching nylon to nylon (or other runners with even lower melting points)when there is a possibility of whipping hard is only slightly less stupid. I think that was constructive. Can I go back to name calling now? I'm bored with this thread now and so is everyone else. [ 03-20-2002: Message edited by: Retrosaurus ]

Gues this means Eric wins.

I've got a 1/2 mile private road and it drifted shut about 9am today. The neighbor 1/2 mile further down the road burried his 4x4 in the drift in front of my place and I spent 3hrs getting the both of us stuck and unstuck and back home where we belong. The wife is gonna get to park at the main road and walk the last half mile home. Not what I had planned for the first day of spring. So quit ya whinin'!

quote: Originally posted by Dru: i found that once, climbing with a partner with prosthetic limbs, you could leave limbs detached behind you as pro points. those artificial hands can be used in many spots - fist jam or finger jam in cracks or crimpin on a small edge. im surprised wild country, BD and split'her gear do not make lines of prosthetic hands for pro.... OK, OK. But I am NOT giving up my erotic plastic novelties.

Erik,Just how big are ya any way? [ 03-20-2002: Message edited by: Retrosaurus ]

I have my own version of a cheater, oops, stick clip. My television remote control. I just sit on the couch swill beer and click. Don't have to experience danger, get cold, dirty, sweaty or scared. virtual climbing.
