You just figuring that out? The truth is that only some one dumb enough to fall off setting up a toprope would bosch a route.

Hey Im-a-bone, and all you gym climbers out there; come on outside and have fun, and keep those rescue helos flyin' Retro

It protects just fine.

Leavenworth Mountain Sports also rents rock shoes.

The only overwhelming concensus is that everyone who posts here is an idiot.

I cast my vote for removal of the DDD bolts, although I'm not going to run out there to do it without a concensus either.

Bronco, Congratulations on "impulsively" stumbling on to a superior product. Black Diamond really dropped the ball when they started making hexes wired only. Wired Hexes suck. The Cable springs against the sides of cracks making placement and removal more dificult. And in horizontal cracks the cable sticks out like a stiffy allowing the rope to transmit all sorts of motion to the nut. Wired hexes look better on the shelf and on your rack and save you the extra steps involved in slinging them, but are vastly inferior when it comes to function. Tying the not inside the hex is the only way to go. You can even go so far as to use a water knot inside when a double fisherman's no longer fits. I feel secure using this knot inside the hex as long as the ends of the knot is jammed tightly within the nut ant the tails of the knot are left as long as possible while still ramaining inside the nut so as not to interfere with endwise placement.

Dru, I just had a tremendous urge to kick you in the nuts. If you would just remove that sheep for a moment...

I use the HB offset nuts and truly love'em. They often degrade a R/X route into the realm of sanity.

No. More like insufficient snowcover in a couloir filled with sharp shards of stone.

How about The Hemorrhoidectomy Glissade?

!!! Winner !!! But it was more like a library, than a single mag.

Try again ladies.

Negative.

No answer to PP's Q? But another trivia test. Why is Library Ledge on Outer Space named as such?

The Bugs

I are it!!!

Hey Cpt, The reason that that outhouse works for the Mtneers is that they are so used to hiking nuts-to-butts, that they never notice the smell or even if something gets on them.

Charlie, A quarter of what? I lost a quarter, but it was in a zip-lock. [This message has been edited by Retrosaurus (edited 05-10-2001).]

I will be at Ingalls Peak on the 2nd of June with 40 cub scouts. We will fix lines on all routes in the vicinity and then on the 3rd everything will be in place for extended top-roping and trundling clinic.

Hey Cpt, The reason that they wouldn't let your bud share their campsite is that they didn't want any extra competition for the tent-hopping event later that night. It's not their fault, they have just been watching too much "Survivor" on TV and your bud was voted out of their tribe.

Vik, You really need to fix the topos on the pitches connecting the Iconoclast dihedral with Library Ledge. It is grossly misleading; indicating a 5.10c single bolt face climbing runnout. It is any thing but this; and is contributing to many persons avoiding this classic route.

Isn't that a dating service for people that drive Jeep Cherokees?

Q: What do The Mountaineers have in common with Oscar Meyer weiners? A: You only find them in packs of eight, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-two, forty, forty-eight, fifty-six, sixty-four, seventy-two, eighty ... [This message has been edited by Retrosaurus (edited 05-08-2001).]
