oh my god, I just clicked the link...you wern't kidding. OR must be smokin some crak these days!

whoa...are you saying these gloves cost $250 new? Sheesh....those must be some damn good gloves. Are you sure you don't meen $12.50?

Hey, it's a cool climb. Dirve up HWY 1 towards Cache Creek. About 20K before Cache Creek, turn left on Hat Creek Road. Watch close, it is a small sign and easy to miss. It is about 20 minutes south of Cache Creek. Dive up the plowed but snowy and ice road for about 8km to the end. Park just past the last ranch. Don't try to drive up higher because it's easy to get stuck, and theree is no place to turn around. You can spot the climb from here on the left, low on the cliff band past the ranchers pasture. Search around for a good hole in the trees, it's is down low. Don't jump the ranchers fence to cut through his field! it looks like there are tracks, but they are horse and cattle prints. Access is a sensitive issue here, so far he is cool with climbers, but there are more of us now. Instead walk up te road for about 10 minutes up the hill. Once you are up aways past some curves, cut into the woods. If you run into his fnce here, follow it for a while and eventualy you can get through, at the top of the hill it kinda goes away under some big fallen logs. Now contour back down the hilslide. It's kinda tucked in te corner of that cliff band, hard to see until you are right there. The climb - 1 full 60 meter pitch. or there is a belay ledge half way. its mostly moderate grade 3, but steepend to 3+ for 20-30 ft at the top. Good topout, bolts on the rock to the right. or tree anchors. Have fun great route

yes... cleaning my cookies didn't help me either. I can't log in from the homepage... welll, I sorta can...but not really... fuck it

a "tripple negative" still means no, right?

dude thats a realy great web site! thanks for posting, I'm jealous!

It's kinda too bad there isn't a larger selection of plastic boots out there. I would consider the Alphas and Lowa's to be the best, not a big fan of Koflachs. Asolo might be another brand worth trying on. They have been refining their plastic boot line alot over the last few years. My wife is looking for a pair for general mountaineering and ice climbing, but there really isn't a boot out there that holds a small womens foot well. Alphas arn't made small enough, and the other brands she has tried on the length is right, but her heel slips outa the boot....bummer.

"whats your point" was short for buy some danm boots that fit and quit whining about it. Or just unbuckle them on the lift like everyone else. If you are so lucky as to ski 5-6 days a week than maybe you should consider it a worthwhile investment.

oh, yeah i can respect that...you just need to be more specific. Drive down to the Valley with me this weekend for another route in a push. Otherwise I'll be all by my lonesome.

girlclimber, your post is a bit out of context . I wear a helmet all the time, rock whatever...ok, maybe not bouldering...but I hardly do any of that. One of my buddies hit his head bad once while belaying a biginer up Cathedral Peak (Toulumne), he was a 5.13, A5 climber and Paramedic. If it could happen to him, it could happen to me. He recently died do to head trauma from a wakeboarding crash. Helmets or bust

Mt. Biking A whole 'nuther way to spend rainy days, nights after work, all of you pay check, and down time (i.e. work)on the internet! http://mtbreview.com

possibly, although I will not be sure if I can take friday off untill proll'y the last minute. It's something I'd love to do though...

My BD Halfdome took a seroius hit from a falling chunck of ice in Lillooet. Hardest impact I have sustained...ever...saw stars. But the helmet didn't crack and I was otherwise impressed. I am glad I wasn't wearing a foam helmet, people say they can absorb just as much if not more impact, but I'm just not so sure. Anyway, I agree with Dru, hlemets crack, they should be considered disposable.

Jens, the bolts were ice covered back before Xmas. have fun!

yeah, had to give the old plastic boots on Si jab, just for good 'ol times sake. these lings could be good for lots of stuff, especialy in the sierras where you don't get much real glacial ice...

Jonathan, you should really consider wearing plastic boots on the Mt. Si trail...

Hey, TLG...If you do see Angela tell her Matt from VW says hi! She is ussualy at the Chicks with Pics gigs...but I think she avoids this place. lummox and glassgow...take your flexing contest to spray. Yes, WI5 is hard, yes alot of people climb WI5, yes it's all relative, yes Dale soloed Polar Circus before Christmas and is my idol...get over it.

what's your point?

Forget Devils Punchbowl...climb the other stuff in the area, way better. And you can still TR most of them if you don't wanna lead.

Hey guys, cut it out or I'm gunna have to play evil moderator and hit delete. Dude's try'in to sell sumthin, get yer own thread.

I don't know about all that physics mumbo jumbo...but it seams like if we do send a person to mars, the hard part would be getting them back.

Of all the funny things said in this thread so far, this takes the cake. WTF
