Trees ARE fixed anchors. That damn Mt Index is gridded with em.

No, the Salewa ANTZ is a double-rope, auto-locking belay/rappel device which has been available since 1993/1994 if not earlier.

Get a Salewa ANTZ.

Bear North Face, The Diamond, overhanging.... Chief was BASEd jumping off the Prow wall above S gully.... you glide out over the Apron when your chute opens... Whatabout the Crooked River bridge near Smith Rocks?

Escape From Kyrgyzstan Rock Opera ALSO STARRING: Billy Corgan as Singer Smith and Trey Anastasio as John Dickey.... David Lee Roth cameo as German climber...Ed Veisturs as Ed Veisturs...

get some of that zit cream teenagers use and rub it on your shoulders and back before you hike.

check out this site for alpine packs like the middle one above: hello alpine kitty

and trading 5L of water for a chance to jug some fixed lines Chongo hitchhiker style. also forgot to mention filed down Pika Mallards! and use of helium balloons while hooking delicate flakes.

enjoyable slog?

My fiancee crosses the border daily, and it was news to him that they were going to require passports. If they are, when? (Dru?) I get asked both ways (up and down) every time I go thru Sumas.... but i always have passport so i dunno what they do if you dont have one. shoot you? ask for 30 pushups and a lap around the field?

aid climber can always get past the missing heads with some extensive trickery: cam hooks zerocams splither gear onecam units, 'popeheads', duct tape time bombs, trained squirrels, or stick clip your next piece or whatever....

Like maybe one dude self arrested and held the others or something? If they weren't roped up why did 7 of 8 fall in, maybe they all stopped to dig out their modems and laptops and make a summitpost at the same time and just happened to be over a hidden crevasse???? Dru, chill out dude Maybe you should start shooting heroin, it gets you much higher than the poser weed DRU: Posts: 4561 It seems like you got nothing else better to do in between flipping hamburgers at your minimum wage job isnt 'nwog' a racial slur? you got some aryan nations goin on at nwog.org or what? gapers like you that just got to spout off about some rescue somewhere and second guess should all just go fellate each other in a windowless room somewhere. kiss it

well did they chip to get those granite chunks or not?

check out I like To Gape At People Dying on the Mountain for more footage of suffering to watch from the privacy of your computer.

Every time I see that other thread I misread the title as the title of this thread...

Shit, 8lb sledgehammer, you can get chunks of basalt from Vantage with a toothbrush and/or a strong wind....

ya well the guy soloed Blessed Rage, Nemesis etc probably it felt cruiser to him.....

It can be faster to hike up the Upper Shannon Falls trail and link up with the road system, than hike from the gate at the chlorine shed... more direct.

You can clean old fixed heads with funkness or with a little physical lovin from a Lost Arrow... no need to chisel... or you can bounce test them that usually works

Go in via Shannon Creek and plan to walk from the first switchbacks, you will need 4x4 or high clearance 2wd to get that far. Snow should appear from where you turn into Shannon Cr valley if not before. Gunsight Gap couloir and west ridge should be white right now. I would recommend you try west ridge based on your previous email to me.

I can just see the musical interlude during the pre-Kyrgyzstan Muir Wall scene.... OOps I did it again, I bounced on your copperhead..lalalalala

quote: Originally posted by glen: If you ignore the ethical issues of gluing, chipping etc... The 2-part 2 ton epoxy is awesome for gluing rock. it is low enough viscosity that if you put it in while still warm, it will flow in well behind the flake and work well. A disposable syringe may be useful. I use it to glue chunks of polished granite to frosted glass and it works quite well. There is also a 5-minute version, but you would have to mix that in the middle of the route. Ya are you gluing on lead or rap-gluing? Ethical shmethical....
