Also a keen way of doing it is to buy something in bulk there and say that you are going to divide it among friends. Say for a present or just to try out. That stuff is pretty cheap.

I am not going to steal them from the store, and I'm not going to go over there and buy sometihing every time I need a little bag. Actually worked in a grocery store for years. I dont know how it is there in that one but it might be good advice. Call it stealing or call it being thrifty. Depending on how many you intend on using for spices is the real question if it was me. Taking about 5 or 10 might not be a big deal. Heck even just ask someone working there if it's ok.

Rumor persists all over that the Yokum Ridge is great. If I lived near there I bet I would try it...

What's so easy about it Are you judging from reputation? What if I cant climb 5.10 but weigh 98lbs and think A4 is easier. 36 pitches of A4 could be easier Also how was I to read your mind about using the word "wall" [ 11-13-2002, 04:06 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

How many times you done it? Anyway it may be but it sure took a long time before El Crap was climbed. It's so "easiest" not even the Hubers have lined up for the free ascent [ 11-13-2002, 03:45 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

I'm not spilling but you'd also be surprised the projecthex was not one of us high profile sprayers. That weasel

I know who you are bozo!

All kinds of unfriendly spray. Everyone seems to blame it on me these days. But alas I am not guilty!

Sumner axes seem to have a good reputation as beign solid tools for steep ice. I'd return it but if anyone has one for sale I'd buy one too.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: No but someone had tagged "PROJECTHEX" inside the crapper at Grasslands. That Sweet Granite In Renton thread was one of the best Underground Sprays ever and I am envious. Dru and MF206er are not the same. I know who ProjectHex was now and I will never tell. He can fuck of though

quote: Originally posted by mikeadam: Climbing mountains is a serious life enhancing activity that has made me the person I am today. Furthermore, this board has really enhanced my overall experience in the mountains and given me much in depth thought about which glacier axe I'll need to send Denali. I am not sure how it's helped my climbing, but it must have somehow because when I am behind my computer I want to touch climbing in some manner. THIS IS IT DUDES! No matter how inane. So let's share some friendly 'ol beta with the gapers out there. YAH! I realize now because of the effort of many fine individuals and their subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, attempts at social engineering that it's important NOT to spray. I should fall in line with the BORG and become one... What is important is that I gain recognition via my postings and culminate the love and respect of my fellow climbers. Posting in a friendly and appreciable manner will lead to this end. Praise BE! AMEN! Hey let's create some catch phrases we can all share together at the next pub club Therefore I resolve to only post useful information on the web so everyone in the climbing community will see me as truly being one with them, and for them. Cause I care. Furthermore, I love Seattle and Oregon liberals. If it weren't for them, transplanted Coloradoans, Californians, midwesterners and Southerners wouldn't have any people to denigrate. Spray War.

I got a POS but my old 4x4 nissan kicked much ass. Bummer I totalled it at Tahoe. Best vehicle I ever had and dumb not to buy another one immediately. My next car a truck

If you want to drytool check out Ha Ling NE Face I hear it's never been done in winter. Hurry its' winter there now!

I dont know what the m grade is. I doubt I would seek them out but good to know they are there.

Righton my best ice climbing bud has a border collie mix that he picked up at the humane society that was roaming highway 20 in winter. The best damn behaved dog you ever saw. He's really good to her. Never follows us on ice climbs and shit. The only bad thing I ever heard her doing was trying to climb up the Silent Running route this summer while they were rapping. Ninja climbing dog ! But that was admittedly the owners fault....

BTW does anyone else think drydroooling on granite is difficult as fuck on slabs

From the looks of it I have to say that it aint in my bag of tricks. But damn with the trees like that I had to assume it was the Cascades. Forrest is that you or one of your buds

I'd like to ski into Prusik over the Xmas vacation and climb the West Ridge. IF the weather is tolerable by me. I'd go in either way.... Any takers just send me a message.

I've only done about 2 winter climbs besides waterfall ice that I can think of.... They were fun. Triple Coolers and the North Face of Castle Peak (Tatoosh Range). Both were fun and totally different from each other. I'd climb them both again......

My dog is aggro with everyone and will bite at first chance. He barks and will chew on left out packs and ropes especially. I take him climbing all the time and leave him out Seriously the things I am trying are introducing it to as many other dogs and people as possible. Make sure the shots are up to date! Mine are. Then I want to make sure the critter is obedient as possible for it's brain capacity. Sit, stay, HEY! (when he's doing bad), and not being aggro are my goals. Barking is something I dont think I can eliminate but might come with the breed. My dog chases the cat all day long around my house but is pretty friendly. About the jumping on your leg comments- I dont mind it that much right now but as soon as someone complains I will make the beast comply. He's already pretty damn good now at the "HEY!" command which he translates as listen buster you just fucked up! So if I was to say HEY! he usually sits down or chills out. As far as dook. I clean it up. Also I take dog dishes and food out in my pack if I am out very long. I dont feed my dog (okay not all the time but 90%) out of anything but his bowl. I am teaching him now that there is a cat bowl and his bowl. He's having a hard time with that one though.. Dogs kick ass and can save you from avies I hear.

YOu have to look at it from this point of view. Just because it aint hardcore dont mean it's bad. If there will be TRs to gaper ice or things like it then it is hurray. At least people will be out learning on the right track BTW gaper ice and other climbs like it are fun
