A single set of dead lifts twice a week (or so) Squats with same frequency and weight, no leg press. Ya know, I was thinking about it and because I am lazy and dont want to change weights I just grab my curl bar ( I work out at home ) for performing the dead lifts which has all 10lb or smaller plates making the bar only about 3" off of the ground as opposed to the larger plates like you see in the pics of the rock and ice workout. I think I'll try to start the lift a little higher, (use a stack of books or something) maybe I am getting too low and straining my hamstrings too much. ouch!
  2. I wonder if Ted Nuget knows there are 2 routes at Index named after him.
  3. some people get that way from eating beans and broccoli
  4. erik was out there saturday and said he took a portable hairdryer to dry and warm up the rock for his soft girl hands.
  5. Cortnay: Why are my upper hamstrings and lower gluts sore after performing deadlift exercise? I typically "warm up" with a 30 minute run and do 20 - 25 reps of a lighter weight. When I started this a few months ago I thought the soreness would go away after the muscle group got used to the exercise but, I am still getting sore. WDF? Oh yeah, I found a good article on weight training for climbers: http://www.rockandice.com/index.phtml?section=performance_show&content_id=180
  6. It sounds like the guy was genuinely concerned about his dog and took the trouble to bring it with him and rescue it. I don't think you should take dogs climbing or skiing personally because situations like this will occur. He mumbled thanks for the help, what did you guys expect a grandious handshake and reward of cash? He sounds like he was embarassed and your berating him probably made him want to get as far as possible from you quickly. Sorry if you find this offensive dan e, but you and your friends sound like whiners to me. So you loaned him a "COBRA" for a few minutes, whats the big deal? I hate to be inconvenienced as much as the next person so maybe I missed your point. Was it the dog or the mumbled appology or that he is not a top notch climber? BTW: I thank you for helping the man and his dog, that was very nice of you.
  7. quote: Originally posted by Lambone: The gym is the only place to learn anything about how to rock climb and mountaineer safely.Nice troll! right up there with your comment on "The Freedom of the Hills" being full of garbage Lambone. I say the gym is the only place to learn how waste your life away; safely of course. Stay away from the gyms and go to the mountains. jpb19752001 - the first reply sounds apropriate in addition to a rope, harness and belay device.Try to go with erik, use your head and you will be fine.
  8. He has built some sweet 4x4 huntin rigs as well. Several have graced the cover of 4 wheeler magazine. All equipped with a killer sound system of course!
  9. get a throw blanket or pinetree candle or a fleece bathrobe out of the "cabin" area
  10. and you must like the smoke of the "evil weed" if you are staying in the hut. I'd say bring a tent and camp at the bee-hive if possible. It looks like a really nice bivy and you can trundle the RMI shack with big ice clods for entertainment and a little extra work out. [sarcasm] and if you stay in the hut you should disclose that when talking about your winter climb so people don't mistake you for a real climber cause everyone knows "real climers" dont accept any assistance or cheat in any way [sarcasm]
  11. only if you want to try something harder mattp
  12. he is in bellingham man - unless he drive a VW van with 4 flat tires his drive won't be that long.
  13. What? Who took the picture of your dad? Let your dad know a Ford would have made it all the way over insead of getting stuck on the hip.
  14. quote: Originally posted by Beck: Hi all, just read in the Times that Marrin Volken's giving a talk tonight at 7pm at the main REI store on "skiing Snoqualamie Pass"- I think he's got a new edition of his Backcountry guidebook out or something. In addition, he might drop some beta on the upcoming Randonee Rally his store's sponsering with Lifelink up at the pass March 31 Isn't he the guy who made Alpine Trekkers famous?

Everyone else is an avatar of caveman or me. Includingyoutrask. Now I think there might be a third. Everyone else I have met at Pubclubs and out climbing are probably just actors hired by Caveman as part of the conspiracy to decieve me. I am willing to play along with you though.

I expect they're pretty accurate, and they probably wouldn't mind. I think they might mind me flopping my smelly boots in the fruit scales. A lesson here is WASH YOUR PRODUCE before you eat it kids.

    Sorry I left you out Lambone, Super WOO HOO!! to you as you were the unfortunate inspiration of Caveman's rantings. He couldn't have done it with-out you, dude. But,now I am have a quandry, I thought Lambone was one of Caveman's avatars all along and now I am not so sure.

    quote: Originally posted by vegetablebelay: Hey man, throw a little credit my way too willya?After all the categories were dominated by death threats, I calmly brought all the old topics back up with a friendly yes, well done! I felt myself slipping into meditation and breifly considered countering your actions with a back on Cavemans death threats, but, I seemed like it would have distracted from the legitimacy of Cavemans posts if there is such a thing around here. And I had to get back to work

    Come on Ray!

    Nothing against Lambone, I never met the guy, and as everyone knows, don't take nothing on this website seriously. Point is, I logged on yesterday at about 2:45pm and CAVEMAN WAS DOMINATING the board. Almost every topic showing on the Main Page was owned by Caveman! It was really intense here in case you missed it. Truly a landmark in Cascadeclimbers.com history. He does it again -the SPRAYMASTER Capt. Caveman. What will he do next?? We wait in anticipation.
  21. Thanks AlpineK! I'm gonna try it tonight in the dark!!
  22. probablly not a very succesful hitch hiker.

    I wouldn't take that dog (or any dog for that matter) climbing with me. She grew very protective of my wife over the years and so whenever my wife wanted to punish me or just show off for a guest, she would start slapping my shoulder and give this high pitched yell "hey, stop it" and the dog would flat out attack me biting and slobbering and everything. She thought it was sooo funny. I tried everything except an animal psycologist and letting it sleep in our bed to get it to like me. In the end, that dog disliked me almost as much as I disliked it.
