speaking of talking shit about wide cracks you or i haven't done the ultimate squamish o.w. day would be linking tall skinny people into public image...then blasting up bop till you drop, boogie till you puke and the scimitar on the walk out down the backside trail.

if you get lost just hike all the way to third summit and then walk east until you trip over the top anchors at the cliff edge, and rap in.

how many nazis climbed 5.13 - none. so merv, here is your chance to shine. but remember the money shot period is ticking away.

the perfectest day is the one having the mostest fun

yeah encountering loose belayer slayers is usually a clue. you guys DID trundle it right?

i don't see the 37 pitch first ascent of splitter alpine granite all free in a day, or massive doses of hallucinogens, on either one of those lists?

d00d i am looking for a partner to rope gun me up banana peel, iiss th@t 2 extreem for u?-

hike up the trail to the third summit and fork right out of the gully at the only place you can. there is flagging.

There wasn't a time-limit and I'm not accepting money from the guffawing frat-boys who offered it. How about concentrating on your own abilities? i'm interested in how my friends are doing.... there was a time limit.... my own abilities are just fine for the level of climbing I do, thanks for asking I remember last year how you said you could climb 5.13 if you wanted to. That's why the money was offered up, to help your motivation level. Guess even with the $$$ offer it's still out of reach for you huh? Oh well ya know what they say - this applies to Mikley Layton too - don't let your mouth make promises your ass can't deliver!

se chimneys of grimface... 600m route with 400m of chimneys!

how's it going on working your 5.13 dwayner? are you gonna send within the year time limit and get the money that was promised if you could send?

yeah but if you rock climb you will hold enough falls you don't have to specially practice belaying.

"My advice is don't ever go where there's any slide alder or devil's club"

I think I have been using an ice axe for 20 years and the total amount of time I practiced self arresting was about 15 minutes. What I have practiced is balance - not falling over. Hence my suggestion. 1 oz. prevention (not falling over) = 1 lb. cure (self arresting). Also to CBS point - I find when I have fallen over, about twice in the last 10 years, both times it has been due to wearing crampons and catching a crampon point in a leg or gaiter. So don't just assume if you have the poons on you will not be toppling either. Inbcidentally I have managed to self arrest in all seriouis falls just fine even with just those 15 minutes of practice. Including a 90m bobsled run down the lower ice approach pitches of Cascade Falls! I swung my ice tool into a bush as I whizzed by and it held Fear does more for my self arresting skills than any amount of boring practice falling would.

whois the climber having the most fun? alex lowe said it was the bestest one.

isnbt it on the other side of the ridge ie north facing rather than east facing?

what is the rock like, that long curving north ridge right of gordy's couloir looks pretty good in the photo.

did they reform or something? Devo Last I heard MM and GC were playing surf music as the Wipeouters.

what if everyone did as you suggested and joined up - who would keep the economy running? what if i couldn't order a burger or a beer because all the no-hope losers with dead end jobs had suddenly not only decided to enlist, but actually made it through training and into the service?

send send send you blew the onsight and settled for the redpoint!

false.

the best solution is not to fall over on easy snow!

he wasn't running in my riding.... I voted for a former Major in the Canadian army who served in Kosovo and ran the Fraser Health Region for 5 years afterwards.
