For ice climbing the best dog is a hotdog with hot mustard in the pub afters.

there is too much spray. someone please summarize the last 5 days into one succinct post

I bet I can go a whole week without posting to cc.com. Starting today.

i saw some weird "tracks" near overseer once. about 15-16 inches long and one was foot shaped and the other two were just ovals in mud.

get one of these for each climber and clip into the anchor points with it with draws or lockers then get the second to do the same thing when they arrive. since we are talking sport - it can be better for the climber who will lead the next pitch, to clip into the chain links if the anchor has chains, and have the belayer for the next pitch clip right into the anchor bolts, but not all anchors are set up this way so it may not be possible.....

i chipped deep holds in yo mama last night using a nesting peregrine and she bolted!

Snowshoe hare

Think of the even more ice climbs with a snowmobile.... or helicopter

this TR is good and you didnt have to bribe Mary Ann with a raffle ticket either

its to prevent boulderers from spreading crash pads

Well MY teacher went to a secret meeting in an underground city in Tibet with a bunch of immortal lamas and spacemen

That's like taking a fall down a WI2- with boards on your feet and pretending you meant to do it right If that's the analogy you want to draw...Just remember you'll always be a wanker skier. wanker skiier is an impossibly high plateau far above my current gaper bumbly status. i have no where to go but up, and down i guess.

skiing is for times when the rock is wet and the ice is melted

Oh, reeling, whey do yew think I putt that in that quay? How does hook taste

We'll be drinking When we're skiing We'll be drinking I get wiped out But I get up again You'll not ever keep me down

If it was the right bar there might be some "women" there

It turns out now they climbed the SW ridge, and the Alpinist featured unclimbed line is the SE ridge So the SE ridge is still unclimbed Still sounds like a cool route though.

Yeah, that was a rough one too. Rob Taylor on the Breach Wall was pretty rough as well, but more from the hospital conditions and sadistic nurse after the fact. Doug Scott breaking both legs on the Ogre too, and Bonington carrying him down partway and him crawling partyway.

YOUR mom knows I'm not wearing ANY right now

what about Joe Simpson on Siula grande huh?

give every person on earth the right to have 0.75 child. so 1 man and 1 woman have the right to have 1.5 children. if they only have 1, they can sell the right to the 0.5 to another couple so that couple can have 2. this will create a global market in reproductive rights, which will 1) reduce the number of children born to the poor 2) provide a strong financial incentive to have less children 3) create a market based solution to overpopulation Everybody likes it but the Pope and the ayatollahs. BONUS MARKS: who did I steal this idea from? I bet Glacier knows and maybe off_white too. judging by their reading lists...

does that mean alpinfox isn't over at Mom's house right now

"taps with the drill?" i thought you just put your hook on the tiny edge and hammered the hook until it chipped itself a little bit more edge to sit on "it's just like excavating a bivy ledge on an alpine route"

chiselled copperhead placements? bat hook holes? tracked out sandstone cracks from ppl whipping on cams in soft rock?
