haven't seen bugs yet ... but i feel the allergies knocking. :-(

i think there's more than one model with a toe loop. i was wondering more about the sole.

hmm ... i wonder if this the problem with my skins/skis. i can't get my clips to stay on either and i thought i wasn't getting the length right somehow. maybe i'll shoot them an email about it. just curious - what skis were you using?

which chaco's are best for friction climbing? approaches?

i prefer a nice rare tender cut of some sort with a strong "beefy" red wine. yeah ... life IS good.

my feet aren't that small, but i wear a mondo 22 shell. most AT bootmakers only make a 24 - although some claim a 23 by putting a smaller liner in them. i just realized this thread wasn't specifically about AT boots - doh! i'm sure i could find a "regular" plastic boot to fit (just under a US women's 6.5), but i was talking AT boots. i need an AT boot!

i generally carry both cord and webbing in varying lengths ... since you never know what's up. literally.

that must mean you have to work, eh? it's warm enough here to be hitting rock for sure, bg. why don't you come back and show me the local crags?

they don't even make a shell small enough for me to begin with! wtf?

what model/length load bars? and what do you mean by "mounts"? (i'm assuming you don't mean the feet since you mentioned existing roof rack.)

you can also troll for partners on rockclimbing.com. [gasp!] it was useful for me for california climbing and i've met some rather fun people via that site.

i spent 1.5 hours skinning some "fresh tracks" up a nice piece of corduroy this morning.

sometimes you just need a time-out ... you get stuck in a rut and it becomes less enjoyable. there have been days where i've been sick of skiing - and i love skiing more than just about anything else in the world. life is cyclical so don't fret! find a new climb you wouldn't normally do, go climbing with someone who inspires you or pushes you more than you normally push yourself, take some time off until you miss it, try a new sport for awhile ... lots and lots of options. mix it up, don't be so hard on yourself, and enjoy life!

that's not rumr's style. he's more of a kind of guy.

ha ha ... not likely. he's a rock climber tried and true.

i think rumr needs some love ...

i LOVE this picture ...

rumr lazy? what has this world come to?

would you post a pic of the snowshoes?

doh! i guess i saw the word "alpine" (and somehow glazed over the word "limestone") and assumed they were trad. oops - my bad!!!

distel, i love you ... but this wasn't a very nice thing for you to say. just because someone can't or doesn't climb hard doesn't mean they don't have any credibility. those inconsiderate fuckers who are bitching about your pictures and dissing on bouldering in general are really just assholes - regardless of what or how hard or even if they climb. you go, boulder boy wonder - climb hard and show us how it's done and how much fun you're having!

hmm ... long multi-pitch trad routes? sweet! post again near october, 'kay?

you wuss.
