Abuse of power isn't always evident, but I'm not following your drift. Which situation are you talking about? OW read the part about I dont care.

he's so bad ass! doesn't even care! come back from that one jon IF YOU DARE bwahaha ah 1700 hours and it's time to hit the road. Fukkin a people. I agree Muffy. Be good to j. Or else!

Get over your technology there buddy. I dont even care.

Sound like a defensive move to me.

Off White- I think she has it right in this situation. Abuse of power is just evident Aint I right

The amber incident was fantastic. I give a prize to my friend that invented it and followed through.

Yeah I know who amber was... But it aint no reason to make them public when they are claimed private. I don't really care because I say whatever I care publicly and they just delete it if they dont like it...

not surprising.

yeah! the canadain rockies yep I agree.

It is an incomplete route. But a route. But I would never claim the Ptarmigan Traverse complete unless I did the same deal as the first guys. Otherwise it is just a portion or variation.

If a route is created and named then it is a route. If you want to climb a variation of it then it is just a variation. No big deal and I don't see the definitions issue claimed. It's not really the South Face of Prusik if you climb the west ridge now is it?

Jim Whittaker and Barry Blanchard. Right on.

Thanks for hesitating over in the former Yugo-Slovak Nation and letting mass extermination occur.

In the winter there is cool bouldering at the Rattlesnake Lake boulder. It is limited but will have some good routes. I would not call it a destination from your address but if you are here and alone then check it out. Lots of bouldering in Leavenworth I agree. Just walk through the woods sometimes and you might find something fun. My favorite sport climbing spot must be Mt Erie and at Index. Somewhere near zoom should put you in a good area.

15)Thanks for not bringing in the tanks to somalia and getting more people killed than necessary. Way to drop the ball.

Never done the lowering with 2 people on a reverso. I think that sometimes that nature dictates your anchor positions. So a reverso can double as an atc as well. Making it a superior device. I don't really think mine is necessary though. It really does suck when anchors must be at your feet. In that case I have not found success or user friendliness with using it for belaying off the anchor. If you think someone is going to fall and must be lowered I cant recommend any solution since I am drinking 40 oz. Usually we climb on a level where if a fall happened then it can be recovered shortly without lowering.

I only like the reverso when the anchor is set in such a way (seems like above the waist or higher) that it is feasable to manage the ropes well. Otherwise i just use atc. Mostly we dont climb on a level at the same time that anyone would expect to fall.

Not nearly a year but closer to 5 months since we had it at the wanna be irish bar in (Celtic Bayou) redmond. It was an ok place to go since smoking was only allowed outside. Which is fine for me and seemed ok for everyone else. It's just the factor of getting people to show up that is important.

Damn I missed out on skian ian since I am ill. I hear that my friend Bruce was taking mtneers course with him as instructor some time ago. I guess Ian farted just at the belay and declared it ok since it was "freedom of the hills".

Climbing in groups of 3 is way more fun on most climbs. More people to make fun of, share the weight and share your experiences with. I have climbed mostly with either a single line with the followers simul climbing tied in 10-15 feet apart on the following end. I find the rope management to be superior for this type of use. Fleblebleb pms and I used this method when we did the NW couloir of eldo and it worked just great. Also I have climbed mostly on very steep ice with 3 people and 2 ropes, having the followers follow on single strands. I definitely think climbing in groups of 3 is real fun. That way if you make plans and one person falls out then at least you have a partner too

glen alpine journals are great. I do like the Canadian AJ the best.

Dru has 9 million journals and mags all over his living room. He must have been a subscriber or luccky benefactor at one time.

The final word is that skiing is more difficult in mountain boots. You can modify them plastics all you want but the best bet is just to become a better skier with your mtn boots or suffer. That's why I dont like to do it. I'd rather ski with ski boots on.

Just show them some good EXTREME photos. Put your camera to more use. I dont bother explaining it any more. I just tell them something along the lines that bobinc mentioned.

Outside Mag- the one that Krakauer used to print all kinds of erroneous, false and shitty info about Beckey and his way of life. I guess it was part of his ride to the top before Everest books.
