Ive met Kyle, at shipmens last year, and at Vanatge. Hope he does one this year. Don't climb much indoors, but when ice comes i'll let you know. Paul

f#$%@ up this is for Smee

Well I may get sprayed for this, but here goes. I help the Wenachee branch of the mountaineers with there climbing course, and will do a ice demo when some comes in. You would be welcome to come. It will be at Banks LK. ,which is a drive for you. Will top rope some easy grades, and just mess around. let me know and I will let you know when. Paul

Help! I have a few icescrews that need sharpening before season begains, called BD they don"t do it, I tried my shelf, no go. Anyone know someone or somewhere that does them. PLEASE. Paul

she was a earthly girl, so i treated her like dirt.

Pain is weakness leaving the body - seen on the side of a van in the R to P relay.

The frist couple of bolts are gone, its hard to tell which bolts are left( 4 vs 6), I could see two that were smashed and could not see the top. Mitch you should finish the job, its no good like it is, unless you want to put the bolts back.(just kidding). I saw the man in the painters suit yesterday,I should have asked him if he know anything,but I think he would set it right. Paul

Retro I think that would be great. Yes there is a thin crack there. I belive you , I have no reason to doubt your word. Like I said Its not the choping that bothers me, its the smashed down bolts. Thanks for replying. Paul

Jim Wickwire done a book signing in his home town, lots of kool people showed up. I met Alex Lowe And Steve House at a Ice climbing Demo, And I climb a lot with the legend himself Bruce White.Can't leave out Fred Stanley,great guys. Kooldude

If you go to the middle east wall at vantage,the bolts for pudding time have been choped. This was a cool climb, now it looks like shit. Who ever did it, could not get all the bolts out so they just smashed than down. How is this good for climbing? You don't like the bolts so you f##k it up for the rest of us. I saw someone make a remark about this route in a earily post, I hope it was not him, we have a lot of mutual frends, and do not want bad blood. why smash them down, there still there. I don't understand this, pulling them out is one thing, that I understand. It don't seam right. Paul

its never too hot, just find the shade.

Well people, how about another view point. I don't post here alot, but I read the posts allmost everyday, and for the most part, its O.K. The reason I don't post more is because I have nothing to say on those subjects, but I like to read what other people say. If I don't like the subject or the spray I quit reading that post( like DDD ) . When I have asked for info. I got good replys,(for the most part) and can throw my .02 worth in. Whats the point? THIS SITES FINE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. P.S. Thats my real name

If you liked zig zag wall, you will love middle east. Good clean cracks,lots of 10s, all in the shade. Paul

No were not ranchers, but we will be driving aherd up the mountain, a herd of students. Paul

Warning, mountain steers are climbing daniels, by way of peggys pond.sat. sun. Paul

It don't rain at Vantage, and if it does, it won't be much. Paul

I must reply. I think you are all right. In the U.S.A. they don't want you climbing, I allways hear how your gonna die from them. Thats not what I asked them, if they do not know, fine tell me that, but don't give me a line of shit. I like the guys up north,( canada) they have allways just given me the facts, no bullshit. Paul

Did the N.W. route 2 weeks ago, we went up Hook Cr. We stayed on the trail to Yellowjacket tower, than traverst around the top, it was a bushwack, til you get to the bolder field. When you come down, try and get back on the trail as soon as you can, or else your in for a death march. The route was good, if you take a 50 meter rope, you will have to climb up 20 ft to a pin with sling, and belay from there to reach the next belay. The repel did suck, too bad you din't put those bolts in a couple weeks sooner. Paul

Were going to try and climb the north ridge this weekend,if we do the Johndurm,(sorry about spelling) can we haul packs, or must we lead with them. Thanks Paul

Thanks Will, we are going for the fishing and to kick back, but what if theres some great lines there? I'd hate to tell people I was down there, and then have them say you should have climb that great route, ( or whatever) Ill check out those places. Paul

Kool, I look forward to hearing from you,thanks. Paul

Peter, could not have been said better. If people are new to climbing mayyybbbe they just don't know better,being kool about it,they just might listen. Paul

Hey does anyone know of any climbing around cabo? Going there May 18, any beta would be kool, thanks. Paul

I think you guys are right, you should all stay home.

Thanks Mneagle, after reading your post I went down to the office and talked to the wildlife people, about the tickets. I got one too. If you buy a fishing or hunting license you get the access pass free, if not its 5 bucks. For those who got tickets, you have 15 days to get one, which will let you slide on yours. Paul
