maybe its the sunlit buttress directly below the summit?

'bout time you washed thosed hands! cc.com has finally achieved it's goal of engaging the media in a sprayfest. a dubious achievement perhaps, but compared to the efforts terrorists make to get attention i suppose we can live with ourselves. I bet it makes item #3 on the 6 PM tonight just between Grammy follow up coverage and interview with Saddams barber's dog.

OH MY GOD GOOGLE MISSED IT!!!! try www.number11hexcoffeemug.com

aluminum does not cause alzheimers i forgot what does anyways you could always have it bronzed!

no he's gonna tie the kid off for pro on West Chimney of Shiprock...

i heard a story about dean hart and randy atkinson retreating from the first complete ffa attempt of Freeway waving a #11 hex around on a long sling to fight off a peregrine mom that was dive bombing them for coming too close to the nest. i also heard there is a place that if you send them a #11 hex will make it into a coffee cup for ya.

i just bought a #8 rockcentric over the weekend and it turns out i actually need a #7 so i guess im in it for that too.

9 cm huh was anyone wearing a snorkel

the question referred to a SECONDER. ie on a TOP ROPE. hard to fall upside down while seconding on picket-protected snow climbs. im certain you could do it if you try though!

i saw Timmy O'Neill at the VIMFF and a good line from his show was something about "Colorado womyn's patchouli scented armpit mullets" dude if you ever get the chance to see his show do it. the imitations of George Bush, Heinz zak etc. rocked. as for Nude ascents you could show your rash on "The Rash" pitch at Darrington, or is that at Static Point?

only if you fall or tip upside down. dont fall.

if you have a wand/ski pocket on the side, slip it thru the compression strap on the side and down into the wand pocket. i can do it without taking the pack off but i had to practice. better yet, climb with your pack open slightly, with the top pocket stuffed down into the body of the pocket, and just stick the picket down into body of the pack.

maybe she was trolling you

all that and i didnt go to squamish. did a bit of bouldering in west van while hiking with my dad, watched 2 eagles play drop & catch with a salmon.

The ridge you refer to, has a trail rising up onto it from the Wall Creek trail. if you hike in from Ashnola River, you can find this trail and climb to treeline easily. Going along the ridge MUCH better than going in the valley (ive done both as far as the border)

"running boards on SUV = never drives offroad loser" i hate runningboards even more than the Pontiac Asstek

and THIS

camera takes pictures through clothing

i think its at joshua tree?

i have found climbing plastic, to be good for strength, but bad for technique...squamish technique anyways. The biggest holds at Squamish would be jibs in a gym.

one thing a 70cm axe is good for is hacking your way thru devils club. if you sharpen up the adze good you can hack those fuckers off clean with a golf type swing.

take a quark, they're light. ok maybe 600gm isnt as light as a 400cm aluminum axe but... aside from not being able to probe for crevasses there is no disadvantage. i just make my partner go first anyways.

scene of the crime?
