Look at that sporty Euro style drop knee.

PLanning on heading to Index, L-worth, N Cascades, Colchuck Lake area, and Squish. Mainly looking to do superclassic stuff at all grades (well, not .14 but say up to about .12). Got the Cascade Select...the seasons/when to climb don't do me much good form that book. With bird closures etc, I need you guys/gals input. Interested in doing stuff like N Ridge Stuart, ROTC, Outerspace, W Face of Colchuck B-rock, Girth Pillar, Grand Wall, etc. Some alpine ice stuff would be cool too. Obviously looking to maximize our climbing while minimizing approach times etc, but we're not too averse to long approaches. We'd like to get a couple of climbs out of the long approaches anyway. So you could help me by recommending stellar routes, and a rough agenda...like do I hit Squish first and then work down through WA to miss nesting closures, or hit some stuff going up and others going back? The bird closures, and the bridge stuff going on, as well as my non-NW local expereince have me at a loss. Thanks in advance. You should plan on taking your wall gear to Nelson, hooking up with some Kootenay bud then putting up some Grade VI FAs in the Valhallas or Leaning Towers.

yeah and shimano is coming out with an SDS compatible crampon for mixed mountain biking and ice climbing

I think that that battle at Picachu Peak was won by the kid with the most cards... correct me if Im wrong... my personal favorite Pokemon is Evil Geller

Charlet SnoWalker is full strength steel and is about 2 grams lighter than the Grivel air Tech not to mention about $20 cheaper at MEC.

what level of Rock course do you teach hitting the ground in - basic intermediate or advanced?

quote: Originally posted by freeclimb9: Dru, Lady bugs to the rescue? You are naive. For starters, Lady bugs prefer temperatures of around 70 farhenheit which doesn't happen too often in the the valley during summer growing season. I'm of the third generation of our family born in the San Joaquin Valley, Kern County. Our family still owns the homestead farm of my great-grandfather near the Tule Elk reserve. I don't think you'll school me on the problems of the central valley. If you want to see grown men become catatonic with fury, make your organic cotton proposal at a valley gin co-op. Ya just like the Alberta ranchers when you tell em you are working to increase the range and habitat of wolves, prairie dogs, hawks and cougars. Aren't those American cotton growers getting sued for reparations by descendants of slaves now too?

And go to the Bugs. And do the FA's like Dru says. Yeah Dog! Soloing alpine rock in the Rockies = Russian roulette on choss piles.

That isnt a farmers kleenex that is a baseball kleenex. Oooh, free9 organic cotton threatens agribusiness industry. So a weevil infestation will happen - that can be biocontrolled, like with ladybugs. Meanwhile non-organic cotton is the largest user of pesticides of any agricutural product per hectare ( I guess you guys use acres) and is poisoning the water table of the central Californian valleys. I'd love to see them get wiped out and be replaced by organic cotton, weevil or no weevil. PS I cant quote stats on any of that so you can look it up on Google if you want the true #s.

Farmers kleenex = finger in nose.

Im gonna borrow a HILTI TE-10 and go to town! Bzzp bzzp chukka-chukka-chukka - bRRRRRRRRRPPPP! Looks like the pro on this 25 meter route will be 3-4 bolts and 1 cam placement (to keep sport climbers off it). Having the first pro require gear is even better than putting the first bolt high to keep unwanted crowds away. "Waah my cheater stick wont reach the bolt waah!"

censership is rong... ui mean sillee... um bad.

Hee hee I am going to drill this weekend. BRRM BRRM BRRM!!!
