Is that the strive to be a loser tax idea. I agree with the make less pay less idea. But things can be more complicated than that. [ 11-13-2002, 08:57 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Looks pretty cool and short to me. My fav is the Tilman part-In the same year, in Houston's words, he and British climber Bill Tillman "went on a picnic" and found the route by which the world's tallest peak, 29,035-foot Mount Everest, was first climbed three years later. Tilman kicked so much ass over anyone nowadays it's funny. Cheers to Bill Tilman's adventures

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 see used overboots in Marmot Bellevue store all the time. Might be a chance to find some there. [ 11-13-2002, 06:32 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

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.

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.
