I am surprised you didn't mention Septic Death

We call those snowmobiles aid climbing. The only valid ascents are made from sea level

Yeah camp at your car or climb it in a day cuz that place is ugly to camp at

Snoboy you are now a celebrity. Can we still drink brews together

Right on Lamster, I guess I could have ditched the word useless. However it really is not good to belay off the anchors if they are way low from what I have found. There has been a time when that was my only option to get anchors low down. Then I tried it and it did not perform. The bad part about finding out that way is that it's too late to take your partner off belay you just have to deal with it for that pitch. [ 10-08-2002, 10:26 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Who knows but I am ready to climb some heinously steep WI2 routes [ 10-08-2002, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Hey Dru are you racing to the Rockies in order to climb the Replicant

I am a dj so I dont rap. Walk into the sani-can opposite me and listen to my farts make a melody

Well I think m&m is pretty crappy. He just talks and can't even rap. At least someone like Ice Cube has rapping skills. He's just some white dude with issues and the media eats it up. Anyone can just talk shit into a microphone. I guess people will buy any trash these days.

Or did you mean to ask another question? I've never had a crampon come off or work loose. The climb in the photo was only three pitches of low-angle ice (55 degrees?), but I had no trouble. Perhaps you'd like to send me a pair of Rambocomps so I can do some "real" "ice climbing". Contact me for my shipping address.

Right on Col. (saluting) Less rope to manage could be deemed as quicker too.

Hey whatever man. I have climbed that peak a few times. Everyone has their own ideas. Most of the times alternate anchors are found on ledges and you can walk around safely anyhow. I have never used more than one rope. One time I used a single 30 meter line too.

Hiking = good exercise more burgers

I can't say I would bring 2 ropes for rappels. Nor would I recommend carrying the extra stuff in there. It sounds like you hit some wind.

Nisqually is the shortest approach. Cant be it. But I cant figure out what the point was. Although I dont see why anyone would want to climb the upper portion of the glacier above and left of muir directly. [ 10-07-2002, 12:20 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Did anyone have issues with the reverso when the anchors were below or at waist level with 2 ropes? seemed like much a pain in the ass to me and I preferred to not use it in the hyped up manner of belaying 2 followers in this situation. I guess it's really not a design flaw initially but it almost seemed like the device was rendered useless in this situation if you asked me since the rope management sucked ass. Maybe perfect belays work better

In all due respect I think Air Guitar name should rename. May we all think of Göran if we hear or do this climb with a loud nad\or famous guitar riff (which one you may choose in your own mind) since he is a memorable and notable person in history With a memory like that everyone will have a unique but positive thought

anyone going from east side Would like a ride

I would stick clip with 300$ aluminum trekking poles and a
