You dont have to pass the knot while belaying with tied half ropes or on rappel. Other advantages of half or twin ropes- Ditch one rope for glacier travel. (lighter) CLimb easy terrain with one rope. (Less mgmt) Rappell half lengths when needed. (less mgmt) Often are bi color without paying extra money. Cost less (partner usually has the other half anyway) [ 09-18-2002, 10:12 AM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

Berchesgaden is pretty cool as well.

Never stationed there.

While you are there Garmish-Partenkirchen and other areas nearby are very cool. Alpspitze Zugspitze etc. Otherwise the beer is tasty!

I've been to Bavaria. You better get your ass over to the Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest 92, München.- Several of us chugging beers in brew tent. Some genius decides we should make a toast about something dumb. One of us insists on toasting the mugs with much efforts (basically smashing them together). On our next toast we smash a few liter mugs and the Kneffler gets his hand cut open. Off to the emergency room for stitches. Meanwhile my roomdog is hungry for a giant pretzel but has no money. I offer to loan 10 marks as he approaches the preztel man. He takes a pretzel and when the guy confronts him to pay he realizes he has no money again in his pockets. So he gives pretzel man a right hook and goes dashing into the crowd. Later caught and arrested by the Polizie (sp). GENIUS.

Chronic can be bought at nearly any street corner. The ale is piss.

Maybe Lillooet will have some ice this year. At least something to get festive about.

I'm just posting some mindless shit here. Is this the new Muir On Saturday thread

Conlin, I see your ass made it out of the Bering Sea

I found a victim\partner. We aren't going for Nookie Tower. Oh well maybe some other time. ANy other people that want to fight or climb with us just bring your boxing gloves or gear to climb with. That means you RopeGunHooker.

Cuz get some Nookiesack Tower and Shuksan look better.

IF the weather is ok this weekend I would like to slog on a N Cascade peak. Shuksan or something in that area. Wonder how the schrund is on the Nooksack tower ... It looks like an inviting climb.

Get out there and take more whippers.

Record this

If it's going to be a flop I aint going.

NO he didnt

Darrington has cool stuff. I'll second Castle Rock (one of my favs) Icicle Buttress has easy stuff on it. When thinking about Leavenworth dont rule out Squamish. It's about 1/2 hour or so longer of a drive and offers more rocks.

rbw I am talking about Harmon doing the braggin

I'm not racing or playing catchup.

Then he hitchiked back to my house from Kamloops. Hasta Luego. C-ya. I wonder how Fred and MSR made out on that tent deal. It was a loaner tent and he was pissed about it. They guy does not care if it aint his.
