re: sharpening your own ice screws
Paul_detrick replied to northvanclimber's topic in Ice Climbing Forum
OK for what its worth, CSNY, I had 9 screws sharpen for under $15.00, {150 a piece). So Im turning you on to my source. JIM'S SHARP ALL SHOP 135 G st. ne Ephrata WA 98823 509 7542849. Took him about 3 hrs. UPS, Mail, FEDEX. Hope it works for those that need it. -
Routes are forming up fast, climbed clockwork today, lots of ice around. Temps should be good all week.
-
Around noon. On another note, the beer routes are not in, but we did the bottom pitch of clockwork orange and it was kool.
-
I was out climbing yesterday in the palisades, got a call from someone at work saying the police scanner reported a accident at Quincy wildlife area. They were concerned it might be me. Not to be morbid but has anybody heard anything.

Having posted on this subject before, it really should be machime done. You can find small shops that sharped tools and they should have them. A guy around the blook ( small town) does lawn mower blades, knifes and saw blades. The angle on saw blades is simaliur to screws. He did mine and they work great. -

Nice job, it came in good a few years back should have bag it than. Does not form every year, again nice job. -
Climbed the right side saturday and was ok, nice and fat, it is warm here. Trotskys revenge was done on the left side, thin but in. Not much in the lower canyon,champange was not in , clockwork orange not in, or cowgirls get the blues. If it gets cold again everthing should come back strong, lots of snow melting, and more on the way, nitetime temps are cold but way warm during the day.

Snowfall is what we need. 1996 great year. Not much snow at all, if we get snow and it stays around 30 degress that tends to make the best routes. I hate to say it but it got too cold too fast, but should get warmer here this weekend, lets just hope its not too warm.
-
My two cents, I belive it depends on the quality of the crack, to me pony keg is harder than air guitar, only because it is alkward to climb,and I can't get my hands in clean.

Back before all those boots wore it smooth.

I did not see a name on that site, what is it please, those are good prices. -
My contact today said he could see nothing on his way down,(banks)lake was starting to refreeze, was warm today, may go rockclimbing Friday if it stays this way.
-
Theres some starting to form,but its going to take a week or more, just pray this cold hangs around.
-
WTFIT?
-
What happened to the post with the last years model, could you post that again please, I like the new model but the price was good on last years. Thanks Paul

Its pouring down rain right now, forcast is for more of the same. We have had more rain in the last week than I remember in spring time. Might get more than our 7inch average this year.
-
OK I've had enough, I like my BD ice- $100.00 gloves. My hands are never cold, and I hear everyone else say there hands don't get cold til your out climbing, and see them wimpering, when there hands start thawing out. Wear whatever you want, my hands won't be cold, and I don't care if yours are.
-
Nice try, sounds like a troll to me. Its been raining here the last two days and allmost all the snow has melted. If theres ice it will be crap. might take a drive tomorow I have the day off.
-
Hey did you take those Saturday, looks like me climbing,are you one of the two who I talked to about the ice? Nice shots.
-
Right side of punchbowl is starting to come in, cowgirls is touching down, nothing else is formed all the way yet. You could climb both these but it needs another week to form good. Climbing it now could mess it up for latter, unless you climbed real light, no bashing. Not really worth the drive for a easy WI3.
-
No ice yet, been watching, but its way to warm during the day. Will post when something forms worth climbing. Paul
