I guess persistance pays off. Ever go 3 or 4 times in a row to get a climb in? If not it might happen some day. I know I have been guilty of similar acts.

The best thing to do is talk about all the routes you wanna do online. Then set yourself on a pedestal when other people go out and do them by referring to the crowds and how you were glad to be at home gaping and armchairing it .

RE:whenever I think it's screwy that qualified applicants cant get accepted into colleges.

DD do you mean for college acceptance or work? or just whenever...?

Lee I have a couple of older guidebooks if you want to borrow them.....

Amen what an article

RE:Damn, z, you are a posting mofo this morning. Maybe you are not the trask but instead the caveman? Nope

What a fucking tweak.

Castle Rock is ok. Lots of bouldering in the woods if it's dry.

I dont like camalots or beal ropes. I prefer either metolius cams or dmm and edelwiess ropes are the best on the market. Even the lowliest gaper knows that

I'm just saying that form of super technical descending does not appeal too much to me. It seems too contrived. Skiing is usually contrived but its fun because you're going fast and feel like you're flying espescially in the pooder. Climbing is contrived but usually you are atleast attempting to use the most practical way to get up your chosen route for you, whether aid, free or what. For most of those ski descents talked about in this thread you'd be better off walking down in crampons. Therefore methodical ski descents using ice axes and ropes are contrived and impractical too. Though I know those dudes, esp Troy Jungen (who my buddies have skiied with) are fucking bad ass and sick sick sick. I'm not arguing but making points. - If you want to criticize and not participate then well- some might think less of you. Because it is dangerous and it is daring and you have to climb crazy mountains under crazy conditions *sometimes* to do it.

RE:Most of those "ski descents" are stoopid as far as I'm concerned. Its more like down climbing with a snowboard/skis attached to your feet . If you can't actually "ski" without stopping a bunch and digging your edge in and using an ice tool then what's the point besides to say you've "skied it"? I could probably down climb some 5.6 with skis on but it doesn't mean I've skied it. Its just way too contrived. But whatever... to each their own. Yeah to each their own is true but to actually do what you are criticizing is kind of foofy too. Someone could say they'd rather aid climb than free some hard shit too.

Nice but that's illegal

North America Ski History I don't know the accuracy. Probably some or maybe all is accurate but also very incomplete.

RE:Ptor and Troy (team dirtbag) W face of Monarch (skiied down 5.7 rock route) etc. actually would that be Chris and Ptor

RE:I’m not sure what the Whistler crew is skiing but if it has any resemblance to the Alaskan-type lines I see in ski films, it’s a far cry from what they’ll find on Thermogenesis. In any case, I feel the locals have the advantage because timing of the snowpack and weather is much more important than your ability to ski steeps. I admit the locals have the best shot if they have the balls and conditions. I recall a couple of these guys skied Robson via the NF (YEARS ago and not repeated) and have skied other peaks in the coast range over 10K feet this year. I'm not saying they have their eyes on it to begin with but don't underestimate them if they come around. It's all talk anyways

RE:If they funded Rainier out of the military budget they could call-up Ray and Mike to be rangers! Class 3-95 I'm done with that shit. 3 people dead from hypthermia and shit. So much for Clinton doing something about it. He couldn't figger out what to say for the dead soldier's families so he hid in the white house. Anyway I doubt I would be accepted there unless I left a bong in the hut at Muir!

RE:I used that as justification for not paying when confronted by an LEO type ranger near Curtis ridge. I guess I'm responsible for the whole fee increase "issue." Not to mention my personal responsibility for other people's actions, the weather, and Winona Ryder. My bad. NO shit. Where's that Gauthier cat? I bet he woulda ticketed you too. Irresponsible lout! j/k I hear Mike's the cool mofo ranger type we need around

RE:Uber Lhotse Traverse FA post monsoon 2004. JC Lafaille, T Cesen, S Karo, Y Kosholoenko, R Borbon Remove the uli gaper borbon and maybe so. I think the russkies are bad ass! I am also german so blaus me einen.

RE:well, except for maybe the frenchies I am french. and the french seem to climb better than the americanos. But I hate thier politics and style. Lots of frenchies are the best high altitude climbers around.
