    Caption Please

    damn, the pic didn't show up right.
  9. What kind of routes did you have in mind?
  10. This coming from a guy who calls himself a beaver?
  11. At least MFT is out there doing something as opposed to amassing 22439 posts.
  12. Occacionally NOLSe has some very good things to say. I'll add that you start your climb early enough to summit around sunrise. Most start from 11:00pm to 3:00am and it takes 3-6 hours. Also an earlier start will help get you off before the crowds.
  13. Chapter 2 I hope to sell a book on real alpinism and then go around the country beating my messiahanic message into the heathen posers through a series of dark slides shows.
  14. or just grow a really big afro
  15. Fashionistas this year are saying that wearing the sling on the left shoulder this year is in. Yes, it may be tougher for all you right handed tradsters out there but then again what is safety in the eyes of prana tops? Gear on the harness is so 80's shaw-dude. Put that pink lycra away and don your carharts (the green is in this season) and head to the crags for some fun!
  16. The clearly superior option for the fashion forward climber.
  17. What with heel spurs and all? Ice climbing is like slogging now.
  18. pics man . . . where are the pics?
  19. Yes, but I can only go one day this weekend.
  20. So who all headed out there?
  21. Matlock, you are a gumbie delux! Hit system either makes you sick strong or you get injured We get classes and yoga and shit but pay at ton more
  22. My System -its gotten me up .12 cracks and all the way up the Nose in a day 1. Slings, Quickdraws -on harness (slings doubled up in a way in which you unclip a biner and reclip any one strand to extend) 2. Metolious gear sling -aliens in front to larger camalots toward the back -nuts can go in the very front or on harness 3. Rack every cam on its own biner/all nuts on one or two biners 4. Take only sizes that you think you will place plus one size bigger and smaller (sometimes you misjudge from the ground) Problems with my system 1. stuff can swing around when you don't want it to. 2. it can sometimes be hard to reach the back cams 3. may need to switch loop to other side if in a dihedral Problems with racking on harness 1. hard to reach cams on opposite side if in desperate situation where only one hand is good 2. weighs down harness 3. less room to rack 4. gear gets in way of "thrutching" and "scooting" on wall 5. you look like a sport climber or worse (canadian)
  23. DFA, I listed routes that I have done that someone "must do." I picked them for the quality of climbing, position, classic status, and fun from different regions of the NW. I have personally done the pioneer route, soloed the W. face variation, and also did monkey space a few times. Maybe I'll suck it up and try the west face next. My "want to do" top 5 might be: 1. Yokum Ridge 2. Hyperspace-Outerspace-Orbit linkup 3. R.O.T.C. and Supercrack at midnight rock 4. Balanced Rock 5. Thin Red line-Liberty Crack linkup
