Tikka's kick ass. Get one for just when you think your headlamp is just too bulky to carry and or too heavy. You'll not have a problem packing one in your bag for those just in case situations

Yeah maybe Gordo can go over and watch some ice skating and wear some tights like they do in case a slide show comes to get in his way

If you want that sort of entertainment, turn on the discovery channel, or better yet, survivor. Why travel to the middle of BF nowhere to watch slides like you can at home? GB Like I said if it occurs just get some fresh air. Here smell this fresh air I dont have 50 friends up there so leave the bah humbug tude where you picked it up at. The Discovery Channel doesn't come in up there just 50 channnels of hockey. I gain more inspiration from a good slide show other than some spray which is entertaining as well.

I dont care for paragliding shows either. Show me some gnarly old Brit climbing up some rock climb with his picks and I am happy I dont care about those bolts either... Clinic sminic IMHO. down the beers and get some rocking smack talkin' guy to give a show if he wants. I dont care if it him climbing Honeyman falls or PlanB just as long as it is not too dull. Plus with the liquor flowing it will surely make it more entertaining than normal.

quote: Originally posted by fishstick: Unsure if slide shows are the way to go on such occasions, especially those with "famous" people. It's the locals (those that frequent the place) that have made the climbing what it is. The last time they brought in someone famous, he bolted a route (for teaching purposes) that locals had been probing pretty hard, ground-up, sans drill. Slide shows also suffer the same problem as movies do on a first date; nobody talks and you really don't get a chance to meet one another. GB I am down for some sort of entertainment. Fishneck you can leave the premises when and if a slide show occurs in order for you to meet people I dont care if it is local or famous just make it entertainment! Better than standing around doin the dickdance drinkin beer at a bar like you always can do

Maybe others have avatars for trade! No need to reveal who you are hehehe. I have about 7 or 12 that I would trade if someone has a new one I can use. No need to post just send PM

Maybe I should call my show Liquid Courage Aspirations. I seem to drum up all these climbs I want to do when I am drunk

We should hook up. Looks like I found a victim to drive. See you there. My internet home page: Http://www.Iamafatassmotherthatshouldbeasumowrestlerinsteadofclimber.spam

I was aiding both times

I like Erik's sig. I like to spray nonsense and verbage as humor to others. Chuck just deal with it. You are tough right

Good luck and be safe Wallstein. I 'll read about you in the magazines I hope

quote: Originally posted by daler: climbed at Marble the 5th and 6th. I led the deeping wall, although i wouldn't reccomend it as I did not get good gear until almost the halfway ledge. The ice was only a couple inches thick for 40 feet or so, with a couple of rock moves to start.dale Ice Ninja

Werd up to that! Also let's wish good luck to Wallstein whatever he may climb I bet it will be difficult I think he is already there (S America) and may find his Coral Sea in safety and success too. [ 01-07-2002: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]

We'll go up some cool offwidth or something at Index. Sagittarius to ringing flake would be a great introduction Brass Balls or Damnation crack are your other choices!

The only club I know is KTK. We promote driking and smoking. Also we like to promote slamming other gapers like us right here for pure humor Our membership is small and costs nothing (except a few pints of heavy or doobies). MtnRngrMikeadamDruCavemanBroncoand a few others that I decline to mention Please let me know, I dont believe any of us has ever climbed harder than .11a and loves to pull on bolts, talk trash, and attempt to sandbag fellow climbers when possible P.S. Rumor has it that members in our ranks chop bolts off sport climbs when we cant climb them. Hehhehe

Spray on da mounties. Watch out though there are some sensative fellows and gals lurking

Did anyone see Crack and Lambone? I know those lovers were there Yeah I find that with even +6 C (in Lillooet) I could still climb in certain areas from this year and last. You just have to know where....

jz put those coke bottles back on and get your aim back into shape. I'll have to sick the rest of the spray world on you if you dont get into shape BTW you dont even wanna see me ski hehehehe.

Jim is Rock Yoda I would not puke in his home Maybe just outside though ehhehehehe.

Well I was not really talking about that but if you want to imply that it was possible that it ocurred I guess it might be. I dont know if that past subject is related to mine though and dont beleive it so unless it is proven to be honest.

I recommend reading different books and magazine articles available at most stores. Jon Long books are good I dont know if they cover basic crack climbing protection but if you are just minorly resourceful it will prove to be easy I bet Then go to Index and hang out this spring or summer and ask to follow people up climbing on the Great Northern Slab. Following will teach you more than you would think in my opinion. At least if you are following someone competent. Post messages on this board and I bet there would be people willing to take you up some moderate short routes and explain some basic concepts. I am a sucky teacher so dont expect me to teach but I would certainly climb when available. When learning from others you also learn pros and cons on what gear you might want to buy, forming your own opinons. I think that is key if you dont want to buy gear twice because you did not get quite what you wanted the first time. That is an expensive mistake. Another tip is to climb with multiple partners of varying degrees of experience. I learn from more experienced and less experienced climbers all the time. Whether it is technique for pro placing or something else like new flashy gear I saw in a magazine in use. Climbing A1 cracks may be a good idea but initially I think it would have made my mouth sour from all the long drawn out work that goes along with it. But it is an option I would not rule out and a good one if you have patience and a lot of gear already. -Cpt

I was up on Mt Stuart's summit earlier last summer and was looking for my previous notes I had put in there with a friend back in '96. They weren't there. I think the oldest signings I saw (hazy memory) was in 98. Who cleans out the summit registers? Mother nature hehehe? Just curious if anyone knows anything about this subject. Curious Caveman scratches melon.

Bummer I hope it freezes !
