... when the summit register is covered with snow in winter, parties will find it hard to sign in..... I don't say you were NOT the first since last fall, only that the summit register is not a reliable way to determine this.

duh, that was my point too, what exactly are we arguing about? it breathes exactly the right amount for winter ice climbing, cragging and spring alpine climbing

you mean like when you are leading Air Guitar at Vantage huh Can't believe you went there Drude...Damn that's taking a man's woman....and his beer i figured it would be a good way to point out even falling at he crag is not "safe" and should be avoided whenever possible. a reference to the Kropp case is merely a cited instance of where a crag fall was demonstrably not safe. lots of others in ANAM. dunno what's so low about it.

and it is even more low, to bring back a dead thread, make a meaningless post "I heard that blah blah" and then see who gets all jumpy and defensive cause your fake rumor has struck home to them as true, MINX????

I see on the Gripped bulletin board, that there has been a death in Squamish. Here is the thread http://www.gripped.com/web/forum/toast.asp?sub=show&action=posts&fid=8&tid=1913 There is no info yet except what ppl have posted: that it was an experienced, Seattle based climber who rapped or was lowered off the end of the rope while approaching the mid station on Exasperator, groundfell and died. More info will be presented as it becomes available.

This from the guy with Arcteryx everything. I bet you sent them one of those "why don't you make it in camo" letters too didnt ya.

Even if drilled on rappel, on many slab climbs, it's better to have the bolt at some sort of stance or rest where one can stop moving long enough to suck up a bight and clip. At least on 5.10+ and up slab, for me, I find a lot of times a smooth motion is the only thing that keeps me going, and if I stop in the middle of some friction moves, POP. If that stance is (gasp) above the crux, so be it. Then again I have once or twice put up climbs on lead without bolts due to lack of a drill, and deliberately located the bolts placed later so that when one is cruxing the bolt will be below foot level and the crux hence uncheatable or as the French say, "obligatoire".

Dude next time send me a PM cause I never read the partners forum Not that I wouldve been in Squampton this weekend anyhow...

it was EP and party.

no no no, she doesn't care about performance, only that it "looks great"

Then why is he talking about Clinton's THC denial instead of his "I did not spunk on that woman's dress" denial? SHEESH!!!

you mean like when you are leading Air Guitar at Vantage huh

if Clinton is a "THC addict" where is the Rasta knit cap and cronic blingbling and redeyes and trail of Munchies induced junk food wrappers

gee matt - maybe the stance they hand drilled from occurs inconveniently after the crux instead of before, huh???

but but but: the inner fleece is breathable the outer stretch layer is breathable the glue binding the layers is not breathable so they use a glue grid to bond the two instead of a continuous layer its not the discontinuous glue layer that makes it breathable so much as it doesnt make it unbreathable, if ya see the difference.

This looks like a fun day out. If, unlike today for instance, it is sunny. Look real close and you can see a line of tracks marking the route. Shorter day trip from the car than via Yellow Butte Disaster I believe.

so tell me why someone is browsing THIS thread six months later
