Figgers. I heard you drill sergeanted capp up some cool ice last month. What's next?
-
somebody should rap bolt it.
-
I'm gonna bivy at the base of the mtn tonight.
-
My bet is that someone like colin or those 2 dudes I saw up at Edlo a few months back will climb it. Not necessarily any one of them but they are capable.............

RE-I am wondering what will happen if we ever get a really cold snap. ********************************************** We get it. The year Drury Falls was climbed like 5 times at least sounded like a good example. I remember thinking "I am major bumgy don't event think about it" that season. There was time when we had good cold spells for it..... ********************************************* My guess is many who think themselves "experienced" will make some very bad decisions when the next real cold snap arrives. ***************************************************************************************************************************** "Experienced" is a relative term. When you walk up to that thing in winter it deserves attention, willingness, experience, common sense and motivation. Someone will send it. It just takes many formulas to match up. To imply that mass people will attempt it and get killed or hurt is a possible reality as with any route. But to thwart it like it will never happen is ridiculous and silly. There will always be people that attempt routes they are not qualified on. That's not necessarily any one person's fault. I think it's great the route is in the book. I think it's even greater that I can think of the day when someone tells us\me how it was. It may very well be a classic and you don't know it. Jim makes excellent books and thought they may have errors what book does not? For instance thousands will inevitably climb rated r\x routes of rock all year long.

Re-I think that gash down the middle of the mountain has a name. It's probably been climbed too. ******************************** What is that? Part of the Doug Klewin Dan McNerthy route? It looks intense! They are not schoolchildren....

For the aid climbers\skiers out there - my bud Bob owns the company and is a pretty cool dude. He lives out of Revelstoke. http://www.helicanada.com/

last I heard fred climbed in jtree last week with north by northwest and charlie. Mentioned to me something about skiing in utah after that. that probably means he's trying a 1st ascent somwhere though
-
Read the polls guys. I dont think anyone's dubbed it death route. But then again nobody's climbed it that participated in the poll either.
-
With more ascents knowledge of a route increases. It doesnt make things safer or easier but the impression of a route may change. Take the POLL And who has their chutes packed??!
-
Some may dash up what you and I call death terrain unroped without much thought.
-
I call it gaper-adventure
-
I buy beer. It never goes bad.
-
Maybe but pictures do some justice in convincing his route is good. Not that other routes are not. BTW I spoke with my buddy- he's mistaken his friend never climbed it.
-
damnit someone figured me out. Back to my weatherman and puegot \ miata comments. Where is j_b now?
-
Naw but I wasted a lot of time and entertained a number of people
-
peace thru power and war. Conquer
-
I got plans. My partner is the jap anese dude you saw in Yosemite this summer.
-
RE-Can't we just all get along ********************** No
-
He must be racing his puegot or miata up to the pass right now
-
Anyone in front should be considered a speed bump.
-
RE-actually I did not check on conditions today *********************************** You disappoint me. The weatherman sez it was 26 degrees just a minute ago at Snoqualmie Pass. Does that mean the route is in?
-
HERE HERE FOLKS j_b NOTES that the weatherman deems all mountain routes dangerous, uclimbable, a waste of time, or unsafe today. None of them are in due to the warming Therefore don't venture in the mountains any time from now on unless the weatherman sez so.
-
The way I read your comments is that just because the weatherman says it's going to be warm you aint going climbing. If I lived by that rule all the time I'd be watching more cliffhanger and shit (like you). Also you seem somewhat fixated on Chair Peak. There are other mountains out there and I was trying to note that but since you have not passed the introductory class to hooked on phonics I guess I understand. BTW how cold was it when I climbed Chair last? Did you carry a thermometer up behind us when we climbed it? I didn't see you there. The only thing I am advocating is adventure but you're too stupid to realize that. Also nobody said I was counting on anything other than going out there to do things sometimes.
-
RE-hey, be my guest and continue advocating climbing mixed routes in 45F weather (although it was not this warm when you did chair). You may be able to discuss it in the future. (where's the damn roll eyes icon when you need it?) you're a real peach, aren't you? **************************************** You should just stay inside and watch Ed Viesturs or Cliffhanger on TV instead of really try it. If I wanted to climb chair again I would go right now. If you want to justify not going up there in good weather that's your problem. Another note- if you cant read all my comments you're still the ignorant fuck.
