since you don't know how to jam properly (see thread about crack too small for your fist ) why should we trust your ability to evaluate gear?

that's so mean! i am preserving the sanctity of the onsight!!!

that fee box was pretty heavy too

lots more chalk build up when it dont rain for 3 weeks? personally i believe chalk is aid which is why i use it at every opportunity. also i like to chalk up off route useless sucker holds on hard routes, or throw my chalkball randomly at certain boulders, in order to fool other people.

maybe they can throw her in prison with the other "bad americans" like craig leubben and armando menocal who went climbing in cuba. and they could put jesse jackson in there too - didn't he hug yasser arafat once or something? in fact why not just open a special prisdon for nutty leftists and imprison them BEFORE they even do something silly to prevent them from embarassing your country. they could do something productive then, like make Omega Pacific carabiners.

but.... iain has been seen to be climbing WHILE DFA has been spraying online. does iain have a subman to make DFA-avatar posts or what???

looks like the infamous overcammed #4 on stuart n.r. but it aint PURPLE CAMALOTS ARE NOT HAND SIZE!!!!!!!!

yeah i'm reading the papers on that. ya got any journal article refs on that send PM. also more heating = more evap = cloudier weather= less sunlight=less melting.

it's all the fault of boring, oregon. let's blow up boring.

"young sprayers on cc.com explained their posts as mere boredom"

after translating from polish to english, bob, your post reads "I want to chestbeat and not get called on it"

http://www.cknw.com/news/localnews_detail.cfm?item=31467 I like the bit where they claim to have only been attacking people (American & Canadian, note) because they were "bored"

octopus garden in the shade, smoke bluffs is almost all hands there's a short section that is a bit wider.

penny lane cat crack blazing saddles all of st vitus dance but the wide parts last pitch of calculus crack cardhu crack all squamish right side of the pillier du cowboy boot at trundle dome,. l'worth

you can't fool me there is no devils range your TR is a pathetic attempt to lure USA based climbers to a hole in the map with vegetated, loose rock, constant rainfall, constant rockfall and huge grizzly bears! American climbers please do not fall for Jordop's cruel trick. This is NOT some secret area you aren't supposed to know about !!!!

you can see references to "moving together" while roped (incl. guides shortroping and more simulclimbing like techniques" in lots of European and British mountaineering narratives dating back to the 1930's. Not to mention Canadians in the Rockies where the Euro guides predominated early in the 20th century. Then again I heard that Washington climbers did not know how to jam, and liebacked everything, until someone went to California and brought back this amazing new technique in the early 1960's????

wicked stealing stuff back from a thief, its almost like Robin Hood!

I should have an AFTER for ya of the glacier between the peliades and American Border Pk. back from the lab sometime this wk. you can compare it with the 60's BEFORE shot in CAG III. it melted a fair bit... OTOH I am currently looking at some air photos of the silverthrone gl. in central coast mts where the glacier has not receded at ALL In 50 yrs . must be more snow there

snoboy's house is safely out of the way of both the lahars from garibaldi and the tsunami from the collapse of the Barrier draining Garibaldi Lake. should be a great view of the 100 ft. high wave washing downtown squamish away though!

i have seen a certain guidebook author copying out information from a certain publication (another guidebook) he was too cheap to buy, onto a set of mcdonalds napkins (too cheap to buy note paper when napkins are free) in the book department at MEC. or look at the latest ELAHO Bugaboo guidebook where a few drawn topos appear which look VERY SIMILAR to topos from the old Bensen Green guide with a few minor changes !!! or check out Smoot guidebooks which are SHAMELESSLY PLAGIARIZED from every other source imaginable

shit, i missed it!! FWIW Fred Beckey and co had a barbeque on the FA of Squamish Buttress way back in '59. They were roasting horsecock for lunch. The fire got out of hand and started a small forest fire which burned for a few hours.

the jug slab central routes (stepladder and moominland) were first semi-cleaned and soloed by me and dave vocadlo. glenn payan and jeff thomson later fully cleaned & bolted them & the two 5.6s with our permission to turn the whole jug slab into a beginning leader's crag. so that's what up with all the bolts. the only fully bolted 5.6 routes at squamish IIRC. snoboy's 5.11 project below jug slab is also fun. bring your own hangers if you plan on poaching it

lahars kill more people than any other volcano related hazard IIRC. there is only one conclusion YOU ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!! please make your will out to me. i need some more gear.
