I'll translate this website with the shizzolater from now on dorks http://www.asksnoop.com/shizz_frame.php

Sometimes Mike King's mom makes journals about climbing in the area. Best to call him. Echoing other's thoughts with 2 cents. You never know til you get there.

i am sure your granparents or grangrandparents were all natives. i am sure they spoke perfect english too. why don't you pull yer head out of your own arse- you're getting high on fumes from turd overload fucking clown puncher. fucking doss cunt I sense the anger. Does anyone else Glassgow kiss my ass - actually I think you are funny so dont take kiss my ass personally- please note that sisu is a good guy. There will never be a way for all immigrants to take those tests. It's unreasonable and will never happen any time soon. Having lived in Euro land for 2 years I cannot back his arguments but can vouch he is a good dude. IN Euro land many and sometimes most (depending on the country) speak English fluently. I can only recognize that as superior in some ways to speak 2 langs. However everyone's shit stinks too so dont put anyone on a pedestal.... This is the US and yes the main language is English. So expect to speak it or work on it if you live here. Spanish is the 2nd language obviously When you go to Italy I'm sure they might expect some Italiano when you show up in a small town. If I was to migrate there I would expect to communicate in their language to be honest.

Michael, Just acknowledge evil fat people that talk much shit are ok too then I'll believe your tr. Just kiddin' Sux ass and get well soon. I'd put a 5.4 TR on midway with a wall hauler for ya exept I might need it first on TR. Keep it positive. Heard you and notgotmoney climbed in the desert All of a sudden he should be named gotmoney since he bought me breakfast yesterday

Andanista compresses like a champ. Yellow pack used for overnight and day trip.... If you are craggin remove the top.

Bomber passive pro. Nut or tricam.

To be on the other side of da fence- I've smoked a bowl within 2 minutes of meetin Necro. I cant stand his political views. At least he seemed like an upstanding gentlemen in person. I can respect that. I have major doubts he will ever be banned here. Plus he might supply you with good beta some day. I just did so be QUIET

Yeah we didnt get started until 1-2 pm on route. Kill your buddy Flailed nicely. Notgotmoney with me. Tell your buddy took cam out first try on Castle. Then gave it away to oriental guy. Turns out nobody there owned it. Even more ammo to back up my argument that your buddy's time was wasted and his argument\instigation was kind of retarded. Cheers to him trying to be nice guy but it was fucked on both our sides. Did he try to squeeze trigger before removing the "eyesore"?

Jumping on the bandwagon- YOU R ALL SO SUCK!!!!

It seems to me that the famous incident on K-2 with Pete Schoening, Dee Molenaar, etc. involved a quickly placed boot-axe belay which saved the day for the whole big rope-team. I've never heard of anyone else ever pulling off such a feat. I dont know the specifics of that arrest but have heard of it. I know it aint easy to arrest just one other climber if he\she gets moving. You can convince yourself otherwise by justifying this ONE situation but that's pretty silly if you ask me.

A little better I suppose. I've climbed a fair share of dirt. The rubble chockstones in there are pretty cool in a way. The bushes didnt bother me a bit.

I'm not having a cool\tough guy contest. Those were MY thoughts about the overhyped route.

I think putting that many people on a rope is a possible hazard. Situations dictate though... I believe more than 3 on a rope would be hard to hold any falls. Also I think people bitching and complaining about it could be a good eye opener for others. Of course you cannot force anything like rope and glacier travel technique on them though. It's up to them to make those decisions. I'm no alpine master but I know it's FUCKING hard to arrest a fall without pro sometimes.

YOu can probably pitch an I tent around the 5-6th pitches. I remember some large ledges. The bivy spot 2 pitches below Gendearme is really small. only good for bivy sacks.

It's a much nicer feature than the climbing. The climbing is ok but nothing stellar. I'd rather climb Orbit 2 times.

Yeah Pro to 2 inches. The tunnel is fun. I can email you a better topo than Beckey one. A very uniqe summit worth visting. Nevermind lost my topo- It's easily gained from a ridge traverse via Prusik Peak.

Dont matter to me. If you think it's that good speak up beyotch

Or "Alpine cragging" if you will. Depends on how you look at it. I just enjoy the crevasse walking and glaciers. You cant match that in the Sierras for instance. If I wanted to climb good rock I could climb at Wa Pass or I could go to the Sierras too. But the subject aint about that. Thinkin about Kangaroo Temple this season Elitism of a definition is so silly

I'm confident that the best time to climb at Midnight is in April.

My comments about routes. And most of them are found in guidebooks. Prusik - Any way up should be good Stuart- NOrth Ridge Slesse- NE Butthole Index- left of NF - think it's 195? route or so. Forbidden Peak- ER direct Obviously everyone knows about these routes. I dont include Wa pass spires because there is no actual alpine setting. It's more suited described as sub alpine but with excellent rock in most areas that are unmatched in nearly any part of the range. To sum it up it's just cragging near the road for most of the Spires but NOT all.

Phukkin a! I have been making less and less of these type of trips over the seasons. I'm working it to a science on my part but they are bound to happen every now and then. It's the worst too. Often I find deleting bivy equipment and warming items like sweaters or replacing it with lighter stuff is the main key. The second key is the rack and rope for me. Not sure how everyone else looks at it. Obviously it will vary. I just got me a summer bivy setup for 2 - Betamid and getting bug net with it soon. That's one setup that has already made some changes. Another thing is I carry less comfort gear to be helpful. The definition will vary according to the person though.

I get humor noting some people are dissing routes they have not climbed and recommending ones they have not done too. They could be right in the comments but just a thought.

Fuck who knows. Queen Bess sounds like the best guess to me. I've taken photos of it but from the opposite side. I didnt bother to read your website or which direction you took it from\looking to. Sounds like you didn't climb the N Ridge of Wedge. It's better than Eldorado and a long way to drive just to slog up the descent. Bummer for you.

AHA!!!! I caught you looking at topos Shame on you
