You can bet when a squirrel climbs a tree it doesn't feel the need to post a trip report about it

Just cause the pitch was lead hammerless doesn't mean you can't use a hammer to clean.

BD's making a hybrid Reverso/ATC-XP thingy now.

We all gotta duck.

Well if the hanger is down, you will have to screw it upwards into the ice......

Flying s are God's angels.

C'mon man, think of the positives. Unlike a dog, that can only cath a frisbee when it's almost on the ground, Your flying snaffle can "fetch" the frisbee in mid-air. And would probably get a wicked spin from latching on to it, if the frisbee weighs more than the snaffle does.

"Q: Are you flying? A: No. But, we're falling with style".

westcoastice.com Salmon Stakes is not worth driving even from Vancouver to climb, IMHO!

Maybe it has a boulder start.

So here is a great trivia challenge. What is the peak in the picture behind the Snaffle? Is it 1) Patagonian spire 2) Monument Valley sandstone 3) Grand Teton 4) Dolomites 5) Something the artist made up 6) Der Toof!

Can't do Realization, but climbs 15a anyways. D Graham claims new 15a in Swissyland after failing to send Sharma's rig at Ceuse. Discuss.

Yeah, his results as I recall them were - if less than 2" of screw is sticking out of the ice, clip it if more than 2" of screw is sticking out, use a shorter screw instead.

Flying s - the new hot trend as housepets!

a common misconception. climbs are rated in the YDS by overall difficulty, not by the hardest move. in the case of boulder starts, it is much easier to climb a boulder problem off the deck, with as many tries as you want and no fall consequence, than it is at the top of a climb (particularly if you don't haul your rack up until you are past the bouldery opening moves) so the difficulty of boulder starts is not reflected in the overall number grade for the route.

U don't think the whole "region" thing just works by time zone Try setting your clock to west coast time.

wrong region, probably

radical offroading!

dude "the beast"'s snaffle army is awe inspiring!

Squid and olyclimber prepare for battle!

Ok muffy, here's the real picture
