That sucks... I can't help, but i've got a lost key story... There were these two guys diging through the bushes at the base of Lovers Leap, we walked up and asked what was going on. They showed us their pack with a big hole chewed in it and torn up cliff bar wrappers. I guess the snaffelhound liked keys as well. That little fucker must have been laughing all the way back to his hole...

I don't know climbing? You guys are wrong! I have been up Rainier via the Liberty ridge route, Edmunds Headwall, and Tahoma Cleaver just to name a few while most of the people are going up the stupid dog route DC ass route. Where is the glory in that route? Don't tell me I can't climb while most of the people here taking shots at me can't do the routes I do!!! If you want to kick me off fine, but don't tell me you guys doing your DC routes is better than the ones I did and that I don't know climbing!!! Who cares, shut the fuck up chest beater...

hmmm...what do you have a girlfriend who doesn't like climbing or something...

werd matt...'xcept I thought we were just all finding multiple ways to agree upon the same thing for absolutly no other reason than to waste time...it rocked! and just for the record, dwayner ain't the old fucker that I once thought he was...just the middle aged fucker....

It was nice to finaly meet all you folks...keep it real.

there is no try....

A belay gun also sometimes comes in handy. DO IT OR ELSE!

You probably wont want to drag a seat up with you. I'd opt for the butt bag on a free route. the smaller ones can stuff up inside a helmet (ecrin roc or something similar). Seats are the only way to fly for aid though...

I may be just talking out my ass here (as usual), but I'd imagine that most local guide services based in Katmhandu would rather pay a Nepalese man pennies, than an American man dollars... My buddy Matt guides over there twice a year. He may be interested in having a partner based in Katmhandu. PM me and I'll give you his #. He will be back from Pumori sometime in May. Good Luck, have a blast over there!

Besides, you can go lighter and faster climbing this way.I've even done this with a portaledge in the pack. It makes you hungry for the lead after thrashing through a chimney section. Man, fuck that...especially on a steep wall! I can see it working on the Liberty Bell, but for something like the Leaning Tower that would be a very bad idea, walls are suposed to be sort of fun, not miserable. Save the second some grief and haul the shit up.

I'd get the Half Dome. Why, cause I have one and it kicks ass. I think that if you are spending one night on the wall, or two, you more or less have the same amount of stuff. Maybe more food and water, but that isn't super significant. Your bivi/storm gear is the stuff that takes up the most space, and that is a constant whether your on a grade V or VI. The Half Dome works for everything. On grade VI's I use a smaller bag underneath with day stuff like lunch and water and rain gear. The Dome's straps are cush as well. Plus its short and fat, easy to reach the bottom. Hope that Helps!

You guys need to chill, firts Alex you're sounding too much like a needy fiance. I speak from experience. And J man, he just wants some beta for christ sakes.

One of those things almost killed a buddy of mine in Alaska. They do not breath...realy, ask the rep. It is not breathable fabric. Or at least it wasn't a few years ago. Not to knock on your shit Zeno, good luck selling it.

And sunscreen...

Thanks, tommorows cool. 2:00ish??? [ 04-09-2002: Message edited by: Lambone ]

Yeah, the Westwind was cool, too bad they stopped making it in '92 or something...That was back before NFace turned to the darkside. Those Swedish tents look like the Westwind.
