  1. for solo leading or topropeing? for topropeing Ive used an ushba basic accender and then a petzl thing as a back up. but then I realized Id rather be bouldering. nic
  2. YOu know your bad ass or a dumb ass when, A. you have those Chek republic cams, (sp) those are bad ass, Especially when they are kinda old and you've tied your own slings on em. B. WHen you find gear dropped off the grand wall and think whoa this is a bomber peice dude. C. When you buy gear that has been dropped off the grand wall. hehhehhehhehhehheh nic
  3. i forrgot to add that your bad ass when your gear is really nice and you live in your car. It aint no trust fund ride either. nic
  4. Ya dude clean your bongs, I get bummed when I see some guy with full on mounaineering garb In l-worth TRing something, IM talkin gaiters and a full pack doing dynos on the 4th class blocks on mountaineers dome,.. WHat about dudes who like have matching parana pants and parana raver shirt. that stuff kinda bums me out too, I guess it all doesent matter I;ve seen bumblies and badasses wearing funny expensive lookin stuff. I watched a guy onsight Leave it to beaver 5.12 r IN J-tree wearing all dope arcterix stuff, made me want to wear it!! he he hahhah, nic
  5. I was craggin at castle today and watched trees on top o the ridge across from castle go up in big ass flames, the tumwater was full of smoke but for the most part climbable. nic
  6. Mf overhang cause I took the wipper off it today!!! I blame the smoke and lack of reto bolts hehehejehjjejeje!!!
  7. Second pitch of exasperator**** Givlers Air roof, that thing is hanus in a good way Upper pitches on the fin, dragon tail Thin fingers Arms controll/ short but fun apron strings, the list could go on and on cheers
  8. Stonerer gardens is cool but the uw rock kicks ass, where else can you crank with little scooter bumpin beats out of his beat up station wagon, coach training on,,RED TOwer!! and dr sniff, passin bowls. freak
  9. Pocket glacier, thats on slesse, anyway did the north ridge of stuart on friday, last week. no water after the glacier, we wernt planning to haul of the gendarme so we dident although we could have on the first pitch, The second pitch is a bitch, we couldent have hauled though cause I went out right after the main difficulties to a nice little nook//ledge and a good belay, there is a fixed and bomber camalot in the second pitch. I think you can go more straight up instead of going right like i did, that would make hauling possible. Have fun and let your partner lead the second pitch the first one is cool. The pocket glacier on sleesse, I had an axe but no crampons, a third tool type job and some intep crampon would be fastest, that way you dont have to do a dicey slab traverse to get around big seracs and shit, its easy just go fast. eh freak out
  10. I was out boulder crimpin early this morn and noticed lots of haze, the usfs said that the fires were just spot fires nothin big. hopefully that wont change. nic
  11. seeing the specter of brocken or what ever that phenomenon is called, twice right befor a hanus stormy bivy, then wakeing up in the morn above it all!! Plus Ive seen too many tick marks at swiftwater.
  12. dude you gotta check out backbone with the fin direct, its really cool, why does one book call serpentine arete and one call it a ridge? freakout
  13. Theres mass room for routes in entiat. lately some local wenatchee freaks have been scrubbing and opening up boulder problems, about 26 miles from the the junction of Hwy 97, up entiat river road, on the right side theres about 40 or so problems and room for more, I know its not exactly routes but its still cool, any one know about boulders at the fish hatchery? looked for them but couldent find em. nick
  14. I pitty the fool who gets caught bolting up cocaine crack, I would dig out my #11 hex clip it to a sling and get all medeival, hehhjhjhjhjhehehhehehejejejjjeeeeee Yo offwidth, when we gonna go boulder crimpin again. we should meet at banks lake when it cools off and do a first accent marathon!! In the middle of nowhere!!! that thing called Top Flight looks rad, ps hows your elbow? nick
  15. Timl hey I'm not sure the best way but I carried over and it was okay, exited via longs pass, leaving gear at goat pass will set you up for alot of hikeing but its doable I guess, it will take you a long time to get back over there after a southside decent, I would say go with really light bivy gear, carry over and go out longs pass, nic
  16. Gunsmoke effect? I ussually avoid that thing cause I cant hold on long enuf, , If the gunsoke theory is true then Birdmann would be a pimp! IM talkin pimp status. nic
  17. Entiat river road has some cool stuff, 26 miles from the junction of that road and hwy 97, the boulders are on the right, probably like 40- 50 developed problems, theres also some more down by the fish hatchery. which is closer I would suggest a trip up to squamish, Theres lots o problems there but you will be drawn to the roped climbing as well, you will have to decide weather to rope up and it will be an epic decicion cause everything is so good there. okay see ya nic
  18. Thanks,, IM stoaked to go exploreing down there. nic
  19. speed Ski decent on prussic Raddddd, , he he everything looked like a go up there on friday,, cheers
  20. Umm captian, I guesse is there any scrambles in Cali Towolomee (SP) that are totally bomb proof easy cracks like 5.4 and straight forward walk offs, I just wanna bring my shoes and chalk bagg. goin to the Valley for 3 weeks then gonna head into the high country to get away for a while. nic
  21. any of you know if good scrambles up to like 5.4-6 that are totally bomb proof, meaning that your not gonna fall off em, as far as sand baggs, if you can climb well at index you can climb well any where,
  22. go to climb prussic west ridge, make him carry the rope saying that you have the rack, get to the base and pull out 4 stoppers.
  23. Hey I dont want to climb but, if you get on guye peak bring a helmet, its chossy but much more enjoyable than the tooth, do the improbable traverse its super fun, route finding is kinda tricky though,nic
  24. Hey um theres a guide out called inland northwest rock climbs, its got all that shiz yo, post falls, china bend minnehaha ect..Its by Marty Bland, you should be able to get in Spokane at that Gym or mountain gear, or you can go to the cliffhanger climbing gym in wenatchee, I know that they have it there. freak
  25. Hey I cant climb but is your name ben? if so then I've met ya in Jtree and various spots in leavenworth. NIck
