Oh yeah and j_b some of us were climbing ice in 45 degree weather last week. Here's a wind chill factor table. With winds up to less than 20 mph at 40 F its right around freezing. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/windchill.gif

j_b, I 'm not going to argue with a dimwit that doesnt bother to read what I wrote in it's entirety and then successfully process the information.

With an average max wind speed between 20-30 mph between 0700 and 1500 (prime climbing time) I bet it's plenty cold enough. 2 or even 50 miles away north or south on the crest it could be way different for instance as well. I believe I remember climbing one "alpine ice climb" this year in pretty damn warm weather...

He was too busy lookin down some skank's shirt to notice. Charlie if I'm 190 your 250

I never said gym. Raiders!? Shit it's all about Detroit 'wings. I see that losers last year shut up after they won the cup

Yeah you see lamebone- when you were bouldering on fake shit I was climbing the real mountains like toof and pilchuck. So go back to the gym.

I'm going to invert my beer glass You guys think too much. I am not going to think but go climb instead If I had relied on the weatherman I'd never get anything accomplished in the winter. Not that I accomplish much

You guys should eat each others crust

Your next

is there a big joint attached to one finger

Yeah dusting- 4 feet deep wallowing. But i's not a payback. I dont go there I just jump on opportunity.

Dwayner that looks like flebleble on crack tryin to climb Colonial Peak in winter

I watch spray. I think all those poozehead suckers know what I think. The ones that disagree get the toilet coil dropped on em.

I agree with Matt's comments. The best rope I own and the most durable. I chopped about 6 feet off mine by swingin my axe into it but otherwise no complaints. Cant complain about user error chopping a rope.

I've mellowed out?.. Not really. I just find most things boring. You can bring me a beer you beer bitch

I'm not sacharrine nice. I still think scott's clueless.

No shit eh. Hey Pot'teryx just so you know those weren't schrunds that's what happens when an avalanche happens. It' leaves an avalanche wall........

Well Matt I was never dissing anyone. It appears to be through Cascade Crags. It's a nice store Cascade Crags. Very knowledgeable personnel work there. Any retailer want to give me benies I'll put content on my site too

RE-Well, I remember some Barry Blanchard comment to a Nepal liaison officer or some such, about the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat being something like having sex with death. So there, that's as good as I can get you when it comes to a real alpinist. I'm just a weekend dabbler myself, try to mix it up when I can... ********************************************* I climb all the gaper routes and sometimes they feel like Nanga Parbat shit. I still don't see DFA doing that so he's got to be more of a gaper

I bet it's ok. Maybe some of us should chip in for a webcam to be installed every winter until we know it's in

i got the stratos 9 mil too. Good rope. Drop tested over sharp angles\edges. Read the edgeproof test. I think it's been known to be a better rope for this reason. http://www.edelweiss-ropes.com/anglais/edgeproofed.html Edelweiss “Edge proofed” ropes are tested to a factor 2 fall with the 80 kg massacross, not a rounded bar, but over a sharp edge only 0.75 mm radius. Traditional ropes fail this test but the Edelweiss “Edge proofed” ropes withstand it.

are you guys playin computer nerd games again

Matt I'll be happy to have your support. You can even chime in with corrections. I'll be sure to include bivvy spots and smokeout ledges.
