If you die in the mountains, for sure you will die alone, cause nobody will climb with you, you come across as such a dick.

Those boxes are a great way to max out your freemail account memory in short order.

"for" him or to get away from him? Climbing is a weird sport to get into "for the chicks" (im all for chix getting into the sport tho, 'hey ladies' ) cause the gender ratio seems skewed towards males. Figger 8 if you want to meet girlz I would think the chick factor is higher in beach volleyball or grass hockey. Or ringette!!! [ 06-05-2002, 10:45 AM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Ifn I dont go alpine climbing I will see you there. Otherwise have fun. Take a number and join the crowds heading up The Ultimate Etc. Lots of smoking ledges. Or you could start a forest fire on Angels Crest a la Beckey in 62.

At least climbing you depend on your skillz first and gear second... unlike skydiving frinstance where you got to trust your gear 100%

quote: Originally posted by allison: I think you are confusing 'trench foot' with what my people call 'jungle rot'. It's from bathing in your own foot-sweat, and causes the look you describe. I got it once and had a hell of a time getting rid of it, cortisone cream and sandals for like two weeks. Miserable. "My people" you mean like from Venus or what? I get bathtub feet from hiking for 14 hrs in plastic boots but it takes like an hour of wearing sandals and it goes away.

They might help for hitchhiking to the crags, just grab the back bumper and hold on...

Peregrines on Chief are maybe nesting on NW Passage/Wall of Attrition this year.... biologists are going to confirm then open Freeway etc earlier than usual this year... howcum USFS cant do the same?

Liner sopcks do prevent blisters. Sometimes. The worst thing for blisters is a pair of boots that dont flex with your foot (not broken in). So the more socks you wear the more padding you got... sorta like a double boot. Try buying your boots a size too large and wearing 6 pairs of socks..... And if you ever seen someone with real trench foot you would not call sweaty foot after 1 day, trench foiot. With real trench foot you cant walk at all for like 3 months and your foot is swollen up like it got attacked by a swarm of lustful wasps... buddy got that on baffin doing a wall and had to stay in bed with elevated feet for 2 months. you need a one way moisture vent in your boots i guess. not a vbl but a vrl (varpour removal liner)

timmay dont you think scotteryx liked getting all the emails about the Hood turf war on the now locked thread, between keilbasa and the rest of the world, as well as about page tops on Muir Hut?

Gummy bears, landjaeger, sesame snaps, choklit for lunch. Bloatmeal, or Ichiban/Ramen, or choklit pudding for breakfast. That instant potato thing is too gross. Lots of garlic for dinner, maybe with soup and/or pesto and pasta added to it. Beware of boil in the bag curry eruptus. Jaegermeister and a bud of the good green for after dinner. Esp. in Muir Hut.

poison ivy not east coast. visit skaha in the springtime and see. except the skaha locals walk arounbdwith little spray bottles full of herbicide and exterminate it wherever they see it. personally i think that is dumb. poison ivy, like Leavenworth wasps, Vantage loose choss, and Coast Range devils club, just acts to moderate the crowd scene.

The Harting slot is the permanently-soaking wet, no-pro chimney one must climb to go from Movin to Montana to the black Dyke above the big roof. I totally diasagree with the idea one must climb big roof to have freed Black dyke. By that criteria Lynn Hill did not climb the Nose Free since she used the chipped Jardine traverse to bypass a bolt ladder & pendulum on the original Nose line. Or Grand Wall does not go free because every move of the Bolt Ladder on the lower slabs has not yet been done free, and Cosgrove avoided the 'fixed rope' pitch with a 13b from the top of Underfling to Perrys. Yeah I bet Alex and Tomas would do the deed if they came to town. They would probably prefer to work on something like Up From The Skies though.

here is a trip report (not mine though) [ 06-04-2002, 12:15 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

The girls all say it's quality not quantity...but you and I both know they really want the trask schloooooooooong. your unit is an #0.3 on the BD Cam scale.

its the book with the phone number and home address of everyclimber from alaska to florida for continent wide couch surfing, free showers, and backyard bivis.

Who knows maybe Maddaloni did the roof? BUT I still call Dean Hart & Jon Jones's ascent the first free.

Stubai est mort. Vive l'Austrialipin!

100 here we come!!!! Big wave Dave you got any other Johnny Come Lately subjects to discuss like whether or not the retrobolts on Dans Dreadful Direct should be chopped, or who should have played Jon Hemlock in the Eiger Sanction, or what you did to trask's mama?

quote: Originally posted by crazyjz: Dru, No one can claim to free the Dyke untill they free the first BIG roof. Deano didn't do it, so he hasn't freed it. And I hope no one adds bolts to it. I was as scared following it as Rat was leading it. Bogus rationale. Have you ever tried to lead the "Harting Slot"?
