The area you mentioned is closed then?
-
Heard a rumor that climbing in Icicle Creek has been restricted in certain areas due to the fire. If this is the case does anyone know what areas are affected?
Thanks
Jim

Thanks for the beta guys!!

I was going to do it in two days this weekend with friends and was wondering where you guys reccomend bivying? I'd like to get as far up the route as possible on Sat and was wondering how the bivy area around pitch 8 is? Any other beta on a two day ascent would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

Antagonizer = OfficeSpace ?? Hmmm I see a pattern here.

and if it got ripped I woulden't have anything to wear to church. Aren't you the guy seen climbing in drag at exit 38? Maybe I could borrow one of yours.
I've got a black lacey number you can borrow. I had it altered to include gear loops.

quote:Originally posted by Peter Puget:I couldn’t resist throwing in my two cents worth into this thread. I agree that the Antagonizer is a bit over the top and despite being of a heritage that would be considered a target of his derogatory remarks, think that my biggest complaint isn’t with his potential impact on someone’s personal sense of well-being but rather how the penumbra of such remarks affects the site in general. Less egregiously offensive words and comments (e.g. fuck, pussy, bend over bi..) probably cast a more permanent and probably far darker shadow. Perhaps it would be possible to use some sort of censor function that will filter out posts containing offensive language.
Peter,
While I appreciate your intent, I would prefer that we self-censor as a group through peer ridicule. One day we're auto censoring this BBS, the next Stormtroopers are goosestepping into your bathroom and burning your best porn. Stop the madness! Oh yeah could you please start using smaller words with less syllables? ;-)

Dude you are the ultimate coward. Spraying all the shit you do behind an alias. Were you beat as a child or perhaps forced to play "Shaking hands with Jesus" with Pastor Grimes one too many times? Your packing around a lot of hate and the foundation for hate is fear. So what are you afraid of?

A few years ago my dad was in town from Indiana and I thought it would be cool to take him up to Camp Muir for the day. He's always been in pretty decent shape so we took off on up and had a great hike. On the way up though some dude comes hiking by us fairly fast sportin the full on Eddie Bauer look dragging his poor 10 year old son behind him. They really did not even have enough stuff to make it to Muir and he turns and asks me how far to the top. I told him that would not be a good idea without more gear and that it usually takes at least two days. He was like "Well it shouldn't take that long and I live near Mt Washington back east where the weather really gets bad, and I've been up that a few times ...blah blah". There was no talking to this guy. He had all the answers. I just felt bad for his kid getting dragged along behind this maniac. Never did see them again. Maybe they summitted and descended out the Emmons side that afternoon..lol
Another time a few years back I had just summitted Adams on a particularly cold day and up comes this dude wearing a grey two pc sweatsuit and hightop tennies. It was surreal! I even took a pic of this guy. Funny as hell!

quote:Originally posted by Cpt.Caveman:Poor technique homey! The problem with the offwidths is that everyone avoids them at the crags most of the time. Then when they do them they got no technique which goes a long way. Also which way you face when climbing is critical.. I say if you are bad at offwidths go do some laps on Damnation Crack and something like Battered Sandwich for starters. I have semi poor technique on them but this year I have been working on them. I often find that even though an armbar or something feels in secure I later toprope and test it finding that it is rather secure to move up on. Plus when climbing OW you usually get bomber cams that are better than anything you can ask for.
Yeah I'm gonna work on that. I just got the new Offwidth model hangboard by Metolius for my room. Problem is it's about 10' feet high and is made from about 400lbs of plastic. I'll get it to fit though godammit!

Ditto on that one! I would say that if you have flawless flaring, overhanging offwidth technique this would be a 5.8! This climb sticks out as one of the most awkward I have ever tried.

Cool. I just tripped across a great discovery then. piss + chalk = super grip. I can just see it now. People climbing with their chalk bag with their Metolius Piss Jar attached! LOL
Dru, have'nt been up to Squamish in 4 years or so and I forgot how beautiful the scenery (both types) is and how nice the people are. Canadians rock..eh?
-
Just got back from Squamish. Adding "Neat and Cool" 10a to this thread. Name says it all. I was pulling through the second bulge when my right hand slapped into a puddle of water! Very exciting down climb...chalk up..back up..barely f***ing made it! Total fun!

Sorry Rag-onizer,
Don't smoke dope either. Keep trying though.

You kiddin'. If Cavey finds the future Mrs. Cavemen then he's just going to club her over the head and drag her down the mountain by the hair. No pencil needed for that.

Here is what I assume: The lameass who left it does not know how to rappel and left it behind for the retreat off of the mountain. Therefore I will take it. No I did not take it, but if I came across this situation, you damn well better know I will take it.
Just be ready for the Karmic bitch-slap sure to find it's way upside yo head.

I'm going to exercise restraint. I have to admit that this thread has a bullseye written on it though. Good luck Nick.
