I work with a gal who goes at least 350 lbs ,I think her undergarments are made by Omar the tent maker, they would be hard to miss.

This is kind of funny. Frist lets talk bikes. I rode a harley for while, and yes I and my partners made fun of the rice burners rockets, or any thing else you want to call those piece of shits. Now for calling routes, red point pink black or blue, who cares, nobody but the person who is climbing it, so they can fill better. I don't need a name to make me fill better, it is what it is.

I have to agree, i've done Olympus, what a great area, instead of a day you should do a week, the wildlife there is way kool. Just my 2 cents.

I have allways had a dog, and I think there great, but I don't take mine climbing, and I don't care for dogs at the crags. If this is not a troll, you can take your dog but how you going to fell when something happens to it. And if it acts like you said something will happen. You will do as you want, but so will I.

Lambone glad you are ok. We were on Danials and the weather got us too, and after reading the posts from last weekend ,we were not the only ones. They said it was going to be nice and it sucked. We deal with it. Life goes on, and yours will because you did the right thing. now some spray, did you ever get them both in the bag with you.

Now thats funny

A few years back we were going to try and do the flagpole, and went up crystal,what a pain in the ass. It would be easier if you started traverse about a 1/2 mi. before you reach the creek. But if you don't know where its at, you will go up the creek which sucks. Go light. If your looking to go in to the enchantments theres better ways.

Yes Alex was the man. I've never heard anyone on here say bad shit about him.

Find someone near you who does saw blades. I got that addvice from this board, and it payed off great. The guy did them for three something a piece, great job. He had a machine sharper that was for those round dril saws(augers) it was kool.Just like new. Good luck

Mt. Stuart, no rope , no iceax , cotton shirt. Afer that we thought we should learn something about rockclimbing, and the rest is history.

good luck, I don't think that thing gets climbed much.

we are all doom anyway so who cares, my kidds want to go to L.A not alaska.

I ran in to Bill alot down at the coulee, and he was a nice guy but he could be a asshole, I am not going to start saying how he was my best friend now that he's gone. He was a climber and so am I, we shared the same passion for the sport, all climbers are brothers and sisters to me, and I know I will not agree with all of them on all Isuees. I will miss Bill, he was a big part of the coulee, weather I agreed with him or not, I would like to think he is in a good place, climbing that big crack in the sky.

I like to put most of my cams on the gear loops, I fill it lets me move better, I keep a couple of cams and sets of nuts on the gear sling, which makes it easyer for me. I have 13 cams and 2 sets of nuts, but don,t allways take it all, I will take 2 sets of draws, 6 locking binners, and 7 24in runners. That has got me thru everything so far in good shape, hope that helps.

Did outerspace today,left the parking lot at 500am and started climbing a730 just beat a party that slept by the creek. Sun was shining on the wall until we started to climb, clouds move in and the race was on. I have not done that route in a couple of years and could not belive all the gear stuck on the top two pitches, I hear people bitch about bolts, what about that crap, you want to pull something out here you go. Just beat the rain, it started pissing on us but did not come down hard til we were on top, fun desent down the gully on wet rock. Hike out in the rain and headed to gustozs (ps) , all in all a good day.

Just got done doing a cervase training workshop, and used both setups, and the tiblocs work fine, this was at a firestation so we were able to climb up high enought for a good test. The tibloc slides great up the rope for a fast ascent, when you unload them they become free from the rope and could even slide them back down, which I thought was kool, nothing to open or f@#k with just easy working. I would like to try them on a icyie rope to see how they perform.

Went down to Vantage today with my son to do some bonding and want to thank everone for staying home, it was a great day, climbed at the sunshine wall which I try to stay away from, but with nobody there it was kool. Do you think you can do it next Sunday too. Thanks

I agree no bolted cracks, faces are another story. But I would like to see bolts put in where needed. It seems you have climbs that are way over bolted or routes that you deck out half way up. There has to be a happy middle. Bolts are not going away, but lets use them only wind needed. I have seen some routes latley that have had bolts added, that were not needed,if your not going to deck out(one pitch routes)than don't add any. Climbers must get the word out, no one will do it for us. This is a good start now send this topic to all the climbers you know.

Thanks iain for answering that for me it was right on, I think this is a good topic, and good replys, theres more than one way to do just about everything, just be safe.

O.K I can take it, It was not that bad, I've seen worst. Outside of the bible tumpping, story was good. Spirtual stuff was right on not religous. O.K. flame on.

Don't run the rope thru the chest harness, just carry it by your side, what if you are the middle person? you could end up side down. I perfer 1 or 2 coils for walking ajustment.

Is this a troll?

I use that system when i'm climbing more than one pitch, but use one long runner cliped to both anchors than clip the x. But if you don't want to leave any booty, you have to re tie your knots on anchors, and its not that hard to tie two water knots the same size.

You guys are missing the point, its not the best way, it's easy to have one piece of webbing for one bolt, equalize the anchors, do what you will but I will allways change it.

I know this was on here not so long ago, but the last couple times I've been out I've come across them, people please don't use them. On one they used two peices of webbing, so I untied them and put them one from each achor, whats up?
