Many climbers that explored here were Euros- Fuetz, Beckey, Ulrichs etc.

RE: Well Marek made it and look what happened - now we are all so suck. hahha

RE: i'm actually all for keeping them off our "american" mountains. My family is Euro- and I'm down with them climbing or skiin' here. Everybody is just jealous There aint no Reinhold Messner's from the US. Some tough characters like - Beckey, Wickwire, and others sprouted out though!

RE:Lawn goddess have you ever met Foon? Or Ptor or any of the Whistler crew? Cause the Euros are in awe of the stuff those guys ski. They probably woudnt even need to rap on Thermogenesis. Yep I've seen the sickness on film and heard the 1st hand stories. I think Ptor, chris, and Troy et all rock.

RE: Where can I find one of those? I think holly is taken so you better look somewhere else

I've seen plenty of women climb hard. First one that comes to mind is hollyclimber. She climbed el crap 2 times now and done some cool alpine routes including NR stuart (gendarme) forbidden (behind my friend bruce and i) and other cool stuff. I got a woman and she climbs well too. Climbed a nice 5.9 finger crack with me this year The only complaints are that she might get on my case when the climbing is tough but it's all over when she's on the ground or the belay

Bring some skis and ride the snow, don't be gung ho or you might be buried under snow. Go for the sulphide it's safer right now I would bet money on that.

Well it may have been crowded but most everybody moved quickly and observed being safe to one another. Therefore it worked out fine. You could have climbed it the thanksgiving weekend instead - When I wanted to do it- or taken 2 sick days from work during the week. Or even went somewhere else (read post on sumallo and zero gulley - pretty accessible), climbed it during the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping, or whatever. It's not our fault that you didn't climb a route.

RE: They seem to be quite opposed to BD products on their website. Just an observation. I've heard BD can be quite trying to work with as a reseller. Lots of BD products are heavy and IMHO over rated. Though not all, and many of their products have a competitor's brother (similar). I think they might be geared toward the alpinist. Carrying the off brands that nobody else does is also a good way to get customers in to check out different brands and items. Also allowing some items to be used before bought is cool as heck. If you try to borrow an ice axe from marmot they will charge you to rent it and request a deposit.

RE: you also get to talk to somebody who knows the hills around here pretty damn well Yeah here he is gettin some in the hills -

If Ptor or one of them guys was after it I'd place my money on one of them over locals. Anyway- be as safe as you can. I'll be doing less daring things.

RE: It wouldnt be a Euro poaching it it would probably be a Canadian like Johnny Foon or Ptor. Yeah maybe so. You'd have to really want it. ********************************* As far as being photographer- Who's bringin the body bags?

RE: You're all so gullible. Did you think we beleived you in the first place *duh*

Talk the talk but to walk the walk is different. I dont think it's unbelievable to ski but lots of people appear outwardly more ambitious when they aren't standing in front of something like that.

I got my maps. Thanks Rye and coke with a whole barn please

Here's the beta. Bring a big set of nuts.

To climb the direct non north face variation of Triple Coolers one should ascend the slabs prior to the end of the Hidden Couloir. This usually requires some ice to be on them. The ice usually forms from snow melting out of the gulleys and down on the slabs. A number of people climbed it last season including vegeteblebelay and myself as one team. I would seriously doubt it is in condition for much *good* climbing. Matt is right that one could scratch their way up the slabs but that is pretty ridiculous and not really meant to be the way the route should be climbed. Bring your air voyagers. If you dont have a whole lot of experience ice climbing it could be scary. Although not very steep the ice was about 1-3 inches in thickness and the protection sparse when we climbed it. The rock slabs dont have much for cracks and will be covered anyway if it is in real good. Personally I'd wait until February and then give it a look or go. As for tell you when real ice is in- well it was in last weekend. You should have joined the crowds on Eldo or been a little more ambitous.

RE: I thought not coming to pub club was "being a pussy" But I shouldn't be judgemental of other people life choices... **************************** Some of us have lives. Besides I don't think it's that fun all the time. Once in a long while is entertainment enough for some of us.

I never said that but...

Ok Harry

Well the only reason you have a conversation like that is because only the pathetic would engage in them when greg w is not around while using his name as an example . It's called being a pussy.

I like slander. His ideas dont work for me. I made a deal with some dude that has horns. Some guy named Adolf was there with me.

RE: i was back there earlier this to climb it, but ended up climbing other stuff instead. A lot of people do things like that. I do too.

Iain, just because someone does not agree with you left wing politics means they are warped ahhaha.

TLG, it sounds to me like it was really in. Just he didnt want to solo it.
