I just ran by a black spotless range rover/tiny housewife combo in lake oswego the other day. she pulls up and three scruffy urchins dressed in raggedy jeans w/ chains hop out with their skateboards. whatever judging a band by it's fans is like judging a book by it's cover there are plenty of "Tusticlimbingbums" out there as well, take Conrad Anchor for example...

pretty clever

what about after asgard melts out? like around now, you don't need an axe and 'poons do ya?

jon, you girl...

damn, just missed 4:20

Law Goddess, Well, for studio stuff my fav is "Junta," cause I like the classics, more complex musicaly and less "popy" then more recent stuff. Personaly I only really like listening to the live stuff on a regular basis. If you want just a single disc, "Slip,Stitch, and Pass" is sweet. Or Denver from '97 from their latest live releases (3 discs for 25$)

Anybody read the forum over there Man those guys re-define the term spray. If you start to think that trask or Greg W, or anyone else here is bad, just go surf over there for a bit. You will come back with a new faith and respect for the CC.com crowd.

Those were the coolest snow formations I have ever seen, makes me want to go check out the Andes.

I never seem to hear it CLANKing over the hexes though. 9mm The size and shape of the brake biner make a difference also, I use a round pear shape locker like the Petzl Attache.

Hey, where did the rest of "todays posts" go? i'm only seeing four now...

Stefan, but what if you wanted to ask a question about the TR or beta? Would you start a seperate thread about the other thread

Let us know if you do it! Sounds like fun, well sorta

otherguy, Had a veiw of the Ice Cliff from the N Ridge at the end of September. It looks rather gnarly down in there right now. The glacier was rumbling all day, and rock was falling all over the place. Bergrshrunds and crevasses were huge. If you haven't seen it in person you may want to reconsider, I would say that getting up it would be very technical and dangerous now. But who knows, you may cruise it???

Hey jon, Some good ideas there. You could maybe split up Ice between Canada and Washington/US... A tech tip page would be cool. Ski Mountainiering, or skiing in general would be cool. How about a favorite links page? But here is an idea you might consider. How about fixin the homepage? "Intech by Dru" is gettin a bit stale, and the Last 20 + 40 post links are still down. Just a suggestion, I'm not complaining

Hey Ryan, Just Curious, can't you walk off the middle? Did you have to leave 18 rap anchors?

IEHHH, ouch! Flick your wrist abit more and you'll bash your nuckles less. Gloves may stop the bleeding, but it still hurts just as much. And avoid wrapping the rope all around your leg like that!

Hey RobBob, Looks like you registered in September, so where the hell do you get off complaining? Shut your trap newbie. Or are you just an old school lurker who has comeout of the closet?

I think it's a nice idea Erden, but I don't think renaming the route would be the best thing to try and acomplish. Goran fell on Air Guitar, and I think it should remain. Plus although I never met him, he sounds like the type of guy who would want us all to climb it and -on in his memory. Then again, I don't really climb out there, so my opinion may not be worth much.

Caveman, Yeah, it does kinda suck if the power-point of the anchor is down low. If that is the case I ussualy just go off my waist. But most of the time I just try to rig high and go straight of the anchor, it's safer anyway if the power-point is above your waist (for several reasons that I'm sure you are aware of). Let me give an example: I led up the 1st pitch of the Gendarm on Stuart with a doubled 37m 7.8mm chord. The rope barely reached enough for me to belly flop onto the ledge. I riged an anchor with a crodelet extended down below the ledge, and could barely get enough slack to clove hitch in. Then I put the Reverso on the chordelette biner and belayed my bro up with two strands. He is a big heavy guy and had to hang a couple of times. The thin (7.8mm) ropes did not slip under his body weight, but I was holding them very tight just in case, with an extra knot back-up. Pulling in the slack was a pain in the ass. I don't know what this example illustrates actually, but I think you can get a few important details out of it.

I bought a pair for wall climbing and Cascades alpine stuff. I am very happy with them for both. I fit them small for free climbing, so they are a bit tight for long approaches. The stiffness is nice in aiders, good for climbing, but they feel like boots on the trail, only way lighter. They arn't waterproof. I blew a hole in the toe rand aiding in them, but Ramuta said he could fix it. I don't own newmatics, but they work fine with my strap-ons. I'd say get 'em, good stiff shoe. But if you want a waterproof boot go with the La Sportiva S's.

'tis quite steep lookin. Is that you Ian?

Actually, friends from Tahoe have told me he's a total prick. But I like the way he skis.

Benman, nice job1 Were the sun cups (pentientes (sp?)) still pretty large up above the icy section past 11,000ft ish? They were about three ft deep at the end of August. Just wondering if they had filled in much.
