well see, seriously i might be into it but i already agreed to meet up with Erik and a carload full of "sport bra wearing hot climber chicas"* at Smith Saturday... and Im not bringing any Snow or ice ghear with me cause this is about to be a Rock and sun only road trip. had enough snow and wet for a few months. * Im not gonna get in trouble for posting from a PM am I

I had a Maxim rope. it sucked bag. never again.

Climb Tomyhoi from Tamihi Creek road. Drive to base of north face (2wd). Climb nice snow gully to summit. Sort of like N face of Shuksan without the White Salmon approach. Easy day trip.

it looks like choss.

two wrongs make a right, this is sort of like, lets violate international law to invade the country of a dictator we put in power and supported for 20 years, correct? damn mtn goat either you got a good case of double standards, or you are anti-war!

best rope is a booty rope. i have scored 4 over the years but only have 2 now cause i had to share.

Maybe a package tour with Yellowman, the Red Elvises, Orange 9mm, Tom Green, and Deep Purple? would they play the blues

works fine for me. i can't believe someone actually had sunny weather on Aspiring. i believe that picture is faked

I think Trask is jon. Discuss.

30+ hrs late Wrong side of the mountain SAR called out Probably an E2.

didnt trask himself upload that pic to photo gallery? i thought it was gonna be another wolperdinger.

That's quite the generalization. People solo for different reasons. soloing is for losers who can't find a partner soloing takes big American ballZ inflatable partner huh

he already did incredible hulk onsight excellent adventure onsight then he gave it up for bouldering highballs.

only soloing at your redpoint limit onsight otherwise its just a form of chestbeating

peyote is aid

should read

your chicas!

index is climbing alpine MAY BE just hiking 'cept the 14'ers jailbait...

However, only one of those dudes you mention has soloed Astroman BUT BUT BUT he wimped out and didn't solo the cruxes!!! Unlike Peter Croft

Ya those three define E5. Hell ya might even call that Antarctic Shackleton shit New Wave E5. Or that guy in Selkirks a few yrs back hit by avalanche while snowmobiling, both legs broken, crawled on snow pulling self with chin and 1 arm for 18 hrs straight to train track, along train track for 6 hrs, then just barely was not hit by train when they saw him and stopped. I think the scale went something like E1: blisters, late, rain, bug attacks, snaffles eat horsecock etc. E2: as above but unequipped bivi, OR, had to leave $100s of gear behind to escape E3: ditto but lost, OR, serious injury E4: injured AND lost, unequipped bivi, no food, outta gear, bear attacks, etc. E5: touching the void/ You arrive back to your own funeral.

Duh... thats what houses are for, eh.... Obviously you've never been to Nelson and seen the wild Ganja growing by the railway tracks.

Ohymygawd not it cannot be true. that book was clearly evaluated by scientific criteria as to what the most classic routes in the whole of North America are or ever would be, and any attempt to argue with the choices of Steck and Roper is verging on blasphemy. stay where you are perkins, a squad of Reeducators is being sent over at a double-goose-step pace to take you away! 50 Classics not the best lines. Huh. Obviously written by a jealous person without much climbing experience. Failed on a bunch of them have ya?
