Just put up a tarp

Forget the beer pig. Just haul back a big bag of Greenpeace. Way lighter anyways.

I'll kick your ass if you don't agree with me See note above about bringing a picket [ 10-23-2002, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Never had a problem with it in those situations. It worked flawlessly. Bring a picket if you need to or dont believe it will work.

I got this fucker and it works on any ice. Just putting doubt into the theories (cough cough bullshit) that radically bent tools with pinky fuckthings aren't good on low angle or alpine ice. IT'S AN ICE TOOL If I'm burying the shaft in snow then I am walking not climbing ice [ 10-23-2002, 10:00 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Any of the tools with the radically curved shafts are going to suck for anything other than vertical ice and mixed climbing. Whatever I use my light machines without a problem on less than vertical ice all the time. I used to think they did not work well on it until I actually tried it. That's what I get for listening to people tell me when and where I could use them. [ 10-23-2002, 09:42 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

I drink oil - some call it stout. That is a pretty damn tough carcinogen

hard to fall off

I'm always down for bashing dirty hippies

CASBC (climbers access society of B.C.) is working on access. After climbing there a few times I can see the potential. Plus I like it better than a few other popular spots. I decided to join the CASBC in hopes my money will let me legally climb on the lower half in the future... I don't recommend monkeywrenching

Some running water... hey cavey, you know i don't know anything. this sounds good if you're hungry and thirsty, but what exactly does that mean for ice climbing? It's good. Just watch your melon for the ocassional falling rock. Don't listen to these suckas. Dinner Plates happened I bet because the ice fractured easily and was bullet hard. I climbed it and understand. Sometimes we call them comments "armchair mountaineering"

2 of my buds climbed it sunday. Reported - bring the helmet, dinnerplating ice. Some running water...

The northwest will never be dry in winter during my lifetime. Maybe dryer than normal is a good description. There will be abundant amounts of snow eventually. I am not desperate enough to travel with skis on my back up in the mountains yet. Heck if it's that bad I can always do some great winter mountaineering.

I think I drank 8000 beers sunday I guess if anyone was desperate enough they could go ski Rainier or some other volcanoe. It's not that good up there yet.
