That is hpw Index is brutally honestly shows you at what level you truly climb at

Nice report and tell the elusive 009 to show me that movie

ON to that Sky Valley Book- DCramer you should get gear sizes instead of climbing styles. It helps the bumblies like me understand what to take. Vague description of climbing style I find misleading. Like - I did no liebacking on Roger's Corner Spray it don't say it!

I may try it out just to see the difference. Dan E. It is not a straightforward thing to do. I never thought of it and was showed by pms. Try it. I think it is pretty easy. I just dont like those sort of leashes..

Your right DCramer. You also imply that people like me dont offer anything to the community. I would offer but depending on the situation. I would rather give my money than my time. Time is very valuable to me. If those dudes dont post sorry bout that but I am not going to beg for them to either. I bet I see these people all the time too.... Some people dont even own computers or have jobs. Will is a cool guy dont bash him. I imagine that if someone sent me topo of Bear Mtn that would be cool. I must admit I am the largest spray here ONe thing I can say is that I also offer as much info as anyone else on moderate routes people like to do. I am a moderate type of climber eh. So spray on and go climb stuff.

If anyone would know it would certainly be LUCKY. Maybe he will surf here today.

Lucky is cool. I truly dont like the idea of removing bolts but it is done.

Fucked up beyond all recognition

I know that I can expect Index 5.8 to be Squamish 10b and willplan my leads accordingly. At least with Caveman belaying me I know there will be a soft landing if I crater! And crater you might. I got just the 5.8 for you

I wonder why he was flailing on that roof. Must have been a bad weekend for him. OH well. I wait for the day Dru shows up for his beating at Index

Did you get your membership money back. At least you could get some hot chicks # at some non climbing event.

Is that related to Shpoopi?

Where is Kelowna anyway. Dru?

Yeah down with it

quote: Originally posted by Bronco: There is no other kind of flailing I've seen. Acually, that's not true, if you've seen me try a 5.12 move (I'm not even close) then it can look pretty meager. I will bring the rope rocket and you will flail when trying to follow. It is a whole new level for me

Mounties are good. I bash on them for humor. Heheheh. I am just as gumby as dem!

quote: Originally posted by chucK: NO, bite ME! Dude, newbies drop shit. Castle Rock 5.5 is newbieland. Some newbie almost creaming you from a Castle Rock 5.5 is no reason to be railing against the Mounties in particular. It coulda been anyone? You ever dropped anything? Chuck Chuck it was not the first experience like that nor the 2nd nor the 3rd just one that I particularly remember.

Used to be a cool place a long time ago. Bummer.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: "we built cairns at every belay" - what, like you took a dump or what? follow the feces fossils? Yes look for the dook ! I dropped a coil on every ledge!

quote: Originally posted by chucK: Alright, I enjoy the occasional dumbass mounty story as much as the next guy but some of this is getting a little ridiculous. The mounties have as much right as any of you on any route out there. If they get there first, I say tough shit for you. The Mounties post their itineraries on the net. You're on the net right now genius, check it out. Phil Fortier's site has it linked. With that info you can avoid 'em if you really hate 'em so much or beat them to theclimb. It's not hard. One time I called up the leader of a climb posing as a member interested in signing up for the climb, just so I could get the exact details of where they'd be and when. I know some of you whiny sportos out there probably get a little bent out of shape because you don't wanna get out of bed early enough to beat theMounties to the Tooth. Then you bitch about the clusterf*k of newbies up there. Well, tell ya what. All the people soloing the Tooth, think YOU are a newbie too for using ropes. Follow Dharmabum's example. He encountered the Mounties out there, he adapted, he turned the situation to his advantage. Captain, Bitchin' about the mounties on a 5.5 Castle Rock route? What do you expect? Ninety percent of the people on a 5.5 Castle Rock route are gumbies, likely to drop stuff. Deal with it. What were YOU doing on a 5.5 Castle route? you f'n gumby. Do you bitch about looserock at Vantage too? And what a f'n hypocrite you are! "I dont like the large numbers being pumped into the mtns". How long have you been climbing? I'd bet less than 5 years. Maybe 3? If trendiness of climbing is a problem, then YOU are part of the problem. And Erik, "chill out bro!! and you gotta see both sides of the story here dawg."??? WTF's up with that? Let's see, 13 mountie-bashing posts, 1 mountie-supporting. The one supporting was payaso and you shouted him down. You're the one who should chill out and listen to both sides of the story. And Will, a spelling flame??? How originel. Disclaimer: I took the Mountie basic course. I think I got some good, cheap instruction, and I also understand how some of them are a'holes. But at least they're a non-profit group, a club. I think they deserve their share of the mountains as much as any of you other key-whackin' punters. I get much more p'd off by guides making money by doing shit like comfortizing Outer Space with rapbolts. There! Put that in yer pipe and smoke it in the Muir Hut!!! Chuck Chuck bite me. I was trying to climb at Castle where I had never seen them before. Come on over dickneck and I'll drop some shit on your head and we'll see how you like it. Like I said before I dont own the mtns but I also did not volunteer to get injured by them. Fuck off Chuck.

Look how many people readin that other thread heheheheh. Must be the topic of the day!
