ha, ha; super tr! and that first pic is awesome.

i'd be up for hitting a squamish pub club after work.

squish is WAY better than smith. closer too.

i think the only benefits of using twins over a single is that the system is redundant ("safer"), you can rap farther, and you can split the weight between two people for carrying purposes. you can always use twin-rope technique with half/double ropes. (roca also makes nice 8.1 half ropes.)

where/when's the pub club??? or are you sporting underagers again?

on a related note, wtf's up with spyware?

hey swaterfall - back from the big T, eh? sweet. let's get on some granite. so long as it's not pouring rain that morning y'all wanna meet at starbucks in the am or something?

i might be up but i'm REALLY out of shape ... and we should probably see how squishy it's gonna be first.

on that note ... i agree.

that's great. he's better than me!

you know kids - like to chew on everything!

imho grivel 360's go in even easier and in much tighter/stranger spots. i think all ice screws rack weird so i don't care that they don't rack as "nicely" as some others. i have the panpipe for when i think that's going to be an issue. how many i carry depends on the route. probably not the best bet for the serious gram-counter but when time's of the essence ... .

if you ever want to head up to squamish, shoot me a pm.

yahoo, kim!

i don't think i'll be in town early enough friday. i could possibly make saturday morning - assuming the weather holds out ...

had a cool thundershower up here in whis last night. always nice to see real rain instead of that seattle drizzle. i'll be in squish regardless ...

yeah, but is the pillar okay?

what do you want to do at murrin?

that's exactly what i thought! nice little story there ...

some ass-related graemlins:

what a place to disappear.

hey, that's something i've been wondering about. i have a pair of the top machines (leashless) but i want to now add a pair of "more traditional" alpine tools to the mix - not that i want leashed tools , but i want tools with plunge-able shafts. (i haven't had any problems with the finger trigger but then again i don't do much wi6 or above .. yet. ) anyway, my point is i really like the alp wings, but since the geometry is different from my top machines is that going to make it more difficult to switch between two sets of tools during the season? just curious about other people's experiences ... (what would be cool is if the tech wing came with a detachable pommel that could be interchanged with a totally smooth-plunging piece.)

mmm ... yum!
