so, who wants to go bouldering? (and i do NOT mean at the husky wall!!!)

that's real purty!

quote: Originally posted by Dr Flash Amazing: Plenty of bouldering around Leavenworth, isn't there? yeah; now that i look at the climbing guide there does appear to be quite a few of them. somehow, though, i'd rather drive to squish. if you add the drive and hike times together i bet they're pretty comparable. well, at least using my drive and hike times!

haven't had a ton of experience with carrying it over yet, but i really like my grivel rock. (it's got a narrow frame that's "helpful" for retaining climbing mobility.

don't you know that the best sex happens between two people who love each other?

"hard" is relative. especially in boulder problems. i can work some stuff on the wall; i just don't get a workout from it. a workout, to me, involves sore muscles more than "sore tendons". anyway, i just prefer to boulder in relative seclusion, surrounded by nature, and on REAL boulders.

dude, im dissin the rock cuz itz uglee. the gym is where i play in the wee hours of the morning before some people even get out of bed, and i get way more of a workout there than that wussy little wall could ever afford me. when it comes to bouldering i wanna slap my hands on the clean smooth flesh of one big rock stone, crimp my fingers on nature-made edges, and fall onto a bouldering pad surrounded by dirt and lush forests.

trask, can you lead 5.14 sport? i'm looking for a man who can take me to the brink of heaven in more than one realm of existence.

geez, dude; you're not looking for much, are you?

sk, we both know those guys are all just jealous and frustrated! (except for jkrueger, that is; at least he's got one of us! )

just curious if any of you have used the mini traxion as an ascender for self-belay ...

off topic, but i can't help myself. (it's the first thing i thought of when i saw this thread title ... triumph ... the insult comic dog

lucky for him, i don't choose my partners based on looks!

thanks - mostly about soloing via tr, but "interesting" anyway.

yet another reason to move to squamish. (as if i needed another one!!!)

my silent partner isn't getting shipped out until monday, so until then i need a real live talking one. sunday or monday. not too far away since my car's "hurt". super multi-pitch sport routes 10a-c would be cool ... but easier trad would work - for leading i mean; i can follow into the 11's. pm me.

if it doesn't even look like a boulder, i'm NOT interested!

quote: Originally posted by Dr Flash Amazing: Uh, anyone see any, err, resemblance between the MadRock Flash and the 5.10 Anasazi Velcro? i actually thought they looked kind of like the 5.10 ascent. but really, don't most climbing shoes kind of look alike?

i just gave wren industries my credit card info. i actually don't like attention. i'm kind of anti-social in some ways -- or, rather, i enjoy doing things on my own (yeah; that's it!) , and that's partly why i wanted this device. anyway, i can hardly wait for my new parnter to arrive ... (no more stressing out over not being able to find someone else to climb where and when i want!)

"the hooker" ... hmm ...

in terms of the-closer-to-seattle-the-"better" ... where? (and is there a guide for that?) ps - not interested in concrete, and looking for v0-v4.

TG: If you qualify, Wren will give you a pro deal at wholesale - which is an "affordable" $135 (thanks to my car being rear-ended while I was in Salt Lake). Don't know of any other deals around.
