man...fuck Bush. Thats all I have to say.

What movie was that again? I remember it ws cool, but I for get what it was called..."usuall suspects?"

Yeah, the pillars are the diversions, the ice in your photo used to be much fatter before they diverted the water flow. None of them were in back in December. Pretty fun for a 10min approach! Too bad ski-sports, good luck with class.... I have partners in Boz, just looking for someonne to share the drive with.

That is the main flow of G1, how are the pillars to the right?

Cool Bill, that should be a good route to take my Father In-Law up...

cool, thats just what I wanted to see, super mellow! Hyalite it is, I have room for 1 rider. Leavin on thursday as long as I get clearence from the tower....

Jordo, Feathered Friends, they can proly special order them for you.

I've got a pair. I like them alot. I got them 1/2 size too small, for free climbing outa the aiders, so they kinda suck on the trail. But they are awsome wall shoes.

P.S. I'm also considering driving to Bozeman for a 4 day weekend...

Anyone want to waste some time and $ up in Lilooet this weekend risking their lives on unstable ice that gets you soaked to the bone by the 2nd screw placement? I do, but my usuall partners think I'm crazy. I don't care, I need to climb ice, it may be my last chance this "season." I'll drive, all you need is gas, food, and hotel $. We can bivi in the truck also. Leave Friday, return Monday, unless we just get bored with whatever is in. Also planning on meeting Iceguy and his partner up there... Lemme know via PM, or email.

awsome photos! thanks for posting them!

no it doesn't...

Of course they support the fee demo, they have a damn ranger station in their store...what else are they going to do? I think REI has some "hardcorps" gear. Their ice climbing selection is just as good, if not better than anyone elses, and they have all the new fancy soft goods as well, plus you can get a Bibler there if you want... And they give you free stuff at the end of February, even if it's not really "free," it still feels like it! I can't wait...

cool, good to hear...thanks for the input. It's hard to evaluate a rope after one use, the true test will be how it's looking a year from now. Fresh ropes give me this warm fuzzy feeling inside!

Well good luck, Norwiegans are cool, I bet it wouldn't be too tough to find someone. Have fun!

Don't worry Icegurl, it'll be fat. Stuff doesn't fall down overnight in Montana, all the classic dependable routes will be in. Just go!

well...proly someday. maybe the supermicros. You got my pins bitch, I be needin em back...

I'm mostly curious about the TOCSEC waterproofing system they use. The information about it is very vague, both on the web site and on the tag. I just wonder if the strands are individualy treated, ie. how waterproof the core is. Lillooet should provide the ultimate test!

One main difference is that the width of the cam lobes is larger on the zeros, because the wire mechanism on the Aliens is inset into the lobes. That is both the main advantage, and disadvantage of Aliens, you get more lobes in the pin scar, but the springs get gummed up and are hard to clean. The zeros look nice, I'd buy 'em.

ditto...

Sitter, Check out issue #58 of Rock+Ice Nov/Dec '93, on page 73 there is an Ice guide to Norway. There is some cool looking shit there... I just happened to be on the toilet thumbing through that issue yesterday, odd coincidence... Have fun!

good point...

Misty Mountain makes good ones also.

The Splitter gears work ok for pin scars, but they don't even compare to Alien offsets. The best advantage to the Splitters is that they work good in shallow placements. I have one small one on my wall rack, but haven't used it much at all.
