get your priorities straight man and get your ass to work.

Yes, i have heard of it. There are supposed to be big walls under them waters. Lets drain it and start doin some 5.10+ FA's.

In my opinion CB, It is hard to tell if people are just spraying or are real hardmen. My experiences in the last year in the NW has shown me that there are quite a few people cranking some hard stuff. I don't fully know why we are left out of the mags and I really am kinda happy about that. Look at cool places like Indian Creek. That place is far from being overrun with climbers but it is getting more and more crowds in the main areas. I like climbing in the NW and hope that every one else thinks its choss and gos to colorado.

Well, I doubt you'll get too many people saying they have "onsighted" a .10 alpine route because: a) they don't chestbeat b) they are out there climbing one right now c) .10+ is not necessarily something to brag about [ 10-15-2002, 04:01 PM: Message edited by: texplorer ]

I am riding up with Jkrug -so I might have a few on the drive up.yeeeehaaaaaa I was putting you in the NW legend status - with the venerable senor beckey.

Maybe you should try sport climbing. There is a guy on this site that loves to teach new climbers to climb. You might have to pester him with 10-15 pm's a day for a couple of weeks though. His handle is DR FLASH AMAZING.

Yes, its true, sk is now a working mom/climber. She is rumored to have given up her amateur spray status in order to further the procurment of a quality climbing rack. It seems the FBI was very impressed with her infiltration of the CC.com sport-climber terrorist ring in eloquent and swift style. Jon and Timm@y will now be able to shut down three servers because of the extra bandwidth available on the site due to sk's absence. The spraylines will be open for some quality rippin starting tommorrow morning.

But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Are you threatening me. . . . I am the great cornholio

CBolter- Add highlander and texplorita to your list, (even if we did a FA by mistake) Oh and there are so many f'in hardmen in the NW. You probably don't see them cause they traditionally climbed your bolted cracks back in the 70's with hexes and snafflehounds.

TG- free beer? I might have to start calling you fred.

The Texplorer will grace the rope-up heathen with his presence. Look for a long cadillac with a set of steer horns on the front and a #5 hanging from the mirror.

Greg, You gotta watch out. Dead snaffles are sketchy pro. You see, a live snaffle has those little claws to hang on with and those rodent teeth can act passively as well if they get topped out.

Thanks for all the beta everyone. It seems to fit along with everything else I've heard -some say its choss only realistic when covered with ryme, others have done it in summer. I was planning on heading up later in the winter maybe as early as thanksgiving if conditions look good. I am also intesested in some of the north side routes but I am not sure if those are in season this time of year.

If you anticipate getting out of the park after dark you can request a pass that lets you stay longer. You just have to ask for it the day before I believe. I have done Johnny Vegas, and Olive Oil and can reccommend both of them as well. If your feeling a bit stronger though head to the black velvet canyon. Ohhh baby, some fun stuff in there.

Hog?? I think you have me confused with someone from Arkansas. In texas we eat beef. Ya know, real food for real people.

I checked DFA, and to my estimations that is an anatomical impossibility for me. It seems a pair of large objects are in the way to hinder the aforementioned activity.

That is something for me to ponder on TG. Very efficient sounding.

Who is this Karsten fucker? I am Gladiator!

I would like to see that pic Cavebro

I've been sharpening up my Rages' for just such an occasion

Ouray is the dihedrals of Smith rock of ice climbing.

sorry carolyn, I don't know much about insurance except that I don't have any. I figure I'll just tough it out or bend over and take it if I get hurt. I have been climbing alot and have seen only two accidents in which injuries occured that were not climber error. i guess I just figure as long as I do what I'm supposed to things will go well.
