In 1998 and 1999 I worked in a climbing gym. Since that time i have only climbed on plastic once... Until a few weeks ago. Yes, i bought a year pass to the local chalk filled room. I sold out. Stupid warm winter.

Just nail your way up the East Face crack. I heard 2" angles work real good.

no silly it's for money makin money makin super disco disco breakin

But can you defend ironing in a bikini?

Are you the one that looks like you are practicing taking a dump?

CBS post of the day!! Isn't there some way to test it, maybe with some reagents and a petri dish?

looks purty though

I get the feeling the Monsters are kind of this years testing of the waters and by the time you wear out the picks that come with them there will be an improved version that you will probably buy instead. Lots of churning in the ice tool market the last few years.

Hey Adrian what's the deal with that Login page and how come there is no way to register?

PINK LYCRA!!!!! woot

Good thing they are almost all wearing helmets. The pigeon action in commercial zoned urban areas can be intense!

Maybe Maligne Canyon or Ogre Canyon? Close enough to town and possible to get a couple of short pitches in.

The guy right in the foreground with the lime green helmet has shorts and gaiters, and cold knees.

Based upon my strong Christian principles I would have to marry myself first.

No pagetops? Not today anyways.

I love how a lot of the advice on this thread is contradictory. This can only serve to illustrate the fact that there are no rules. I like watching people play out the scripts and roles they learned from previous relationships as if nothing has changed. "My last girlfriend liked pancakes so I will make them for my new girlfriend's birthday." There is something amusing about the romantic failures of others.

Of COURSE that's Fred, who else would walk around with a coil of rope and 2 hexes nonchalantly slung over his shoulder just incase we met any girls on the trail (all we met was Mark Landreville )

Urban Assault!!! Those chunks of plywood must make it at least A0+

You can climb something like Blanshard or The Lions no matter what conditions are like so they make a good destination when you don't know how the weather's going to be. What is an easy scramble when sunny and warm, and an easy snow-climb when covered with an April snowpack, can become quite interesting and challenging with a layer of thin melting snow, verglas, hoarfrost or in the pouring rain.

If the first ascent of a climb is made in winter conditions during calendar winter and i later climb it in summer, can I claim a "first summer ascent?"
