Come on, way too easy, Pearly Gates. BP, you Fuck nut!

Looks to me like the first one is 300 Motivational Tapes, but that's 10b in the current guide and 10a in the old (possibly 9+ in the white book, I gave mine away). The second shot is of pitch 1 of Heart of Gold.

get some new pants, bitch

...glass and a head-buster

your bag must be empty... chill

...just couldn't let that one slide...

I just spit begal and tea all over my computer Muffy, um why do you have a begal in your mouth? We don't eat dogs in this country!

funny, I was thinkin a similar thing about the selection of ladies that would qualify...

Did ya take a fly rod? It's catching not fishing, ummm, um!

Thrutch, just couldn't hang in "retirement" could you?

3/8" would be best but... If there is a concern about preserving the nature of the route ... They also make 1/4" Rawl 5-piece that would hold far better in that crap stone. Oversizing to 5/16" to allow Fixe button heads is an option as well, although the stone may fail while pounding them in.

I think it kinda depends on if you're an edger or a smearer. A frequent partner of mine is an edger and uses a board lasted shoe to stand on the micro edges. I believe he uses the Sportiva Focus. I tend to drop my heels and smear, even on small edges, and prefer a much softer shoe without a board. I love the Scarpa Marathons with that EVA sole and had good past success with the Mythos although they did not fit my feet properly. cheers!

all claims of BP guarding the gates of "Bumdom" are true, he's a full on charity case, yet he is one of the finest partners I know of... motivation? not an issue... step up to the plate? he's first in line BP- I'll trade you the use of some cams for a copy of some of those pics,

Bitch needs to tighten up...

Why do you need a climbing specific hammer? I have used both an Estwing and a Vaughn rock/brick hammer for quite some time. I have a Yos hammer and it sits in a box in my basement. If your doing any hand drilling the Yos sucks. The rock hammers clean cracks way better as well. I have done a few aid routes involving strteches of nailing and can't give you a draw back, of course I haven't nailed a route with the Yos. Both rock hammers ran about $35.

I'm not sure how it is so easy for folks to generate an answer to your question over the internet. As JoshK pointed out, it may be feasible for some to complete your objective in a day (brutal) but far more only complete Backbone in your allotted time frame. You know your and your partners abilities better than us and could answer the question more acurately. Good luck!

Love it! I have a Pika Mntneering and a Rockpecker, I never use the Pika anymore. The set screw on the Pika is a major pain in the ass. It comes loose after a few dozen blows and your constantly stopping, locating the allen wrench and tightening it so the bit doesn't fall out. I have dropped more than one allen wrench and lost a few set screws as well, so carrying extras was necessary. The Rockpecker has a "tool-less" chuck that seems to hold the bit well. I haven't logged a bunch of time with the Rockpecker but it's lighter, has less loseable parts, and doesn't require tools to change bits. In my opinion this makes it superior to most of the others on the market.

Give the roadside shizzy a rest, obsessive one. Doin Thur.-Mon. in a super double top secret hush hush spot, guarded by a brutal approach. You're more than welcome to join the festivities if you promise to hump me some . There will be 4-5 others so partners won't be an issue. Let me know if you want to go. *nice pic!

Got in 6 pitches on Sat. (Yard Art, W. Face Peak-a-boo Tower, Snaakes, Animal Farm) before the consistent piss began. Saw lots of "climbers" wanderin around starin up shoulda just got busy instead of waitin to see if the rain was gonna stop, start again, or continue. As usual, lots of . Damn were there a lot of boaters around this weekend. Pope, was that you in Gustav's? Holy shiite does that Gwen Stefani do it for me!

Well stated, Matt!

The author of the article was not one of the FA's. Why is it so surprising that they don't read this sight? Most of the people I climb with don't read it either, I often wonder why I do.

I would not recommend "retro bolting" any route without discussing it with the guys who put it up. If a party doesn't have the skills to complete the route, there are chains and they can easily bail, seems safe enough to me.

They thought the area in question was 3rd/4th class and didn't require bolts. From your posts, it sounds to me like you might be the one with the ego issues. They may not read the drivel on cc.com, so why should they respond? If you aren't comfortable doing the route without a topo, why did you do it? It has been common knowledge that there are route finding difficulties. Why go up there with that knowledge and then come back and make a big stink about it? If you're not comfortable with it, don't do the route! Can't you come up with something nice to say? This is why people will not post new route info on this sight. After all their hard work for others, you're bitchin about their egos. You should re-evaluate your stance.

I wasn't aware we were discussing a particular meadow, I was commenting on your blanket statement "machines have no place in the alpine, end of story". Why, are there oil cans and beer bottles strewn about? I doubt it. I would consider riding over an expanse of exposed meadow an example of poor judgement. Exercise? I don't think anyone called snowmobiling exercise. It is undeniably physically demanding though. I have far better things to do than argue about this any further. I can agree to disagree.
