First lesson of avalanche safety If you DO get caught in a big slide there's two things you can do: Step 1. Put your head between your legs Step 2. Kiss your ass goodbye

Wow, nice ovals!

Oh, you guys must not know about that secret shortcut road you can take through the Park from Gardiner to Cook that doesn't go through Wyoming.... Beartooths more untouched and wild than Winds. Better skiing, better ice climbing and probably more potential for rock FAs there than Winds. Only problem is all those fucking snowmobiles around Cook City in the winter, unless they're giving you rides into the climbing or skiing.

I've heard there good for bailing off of, but I've never done that

I use them to open beer bottles. That's about it. Good for anything else?

Double Bullshit Bone, You don't have to go through Wyoming to get to Cook City if your travelling down 89 from Bozeman, though you do have to go through the Park. Second, The Winds and the Tits aren't the best mtn's in the Rockies, even assuming you mean the American Rockies. The Beartooths and the Bighorns are! And best ice / bc bet would be to hit Banff then drive down to Fernie or Nelson. Kootenais

Dude if you walked your ass all the way in there it defenitly qualifies as a "winter ascent." But, shit, might as well get a right on a sled eh? I haven't done Thin Red Line for some reason but I think it would be hard to solo, because its got lots of free climbing. But go do it anyway!!

Really Lambone how long does it take to write a survey about how much people climb and shit and then post it on the .com? Can't be that bad...

OK then. It works good now.

In the photog gallery how do you delete your photos to make room for adding more? anyone?

Probably using feet or possibly a bike.

Do it anyway. 5.11 = 5.8 C1

Don't miss the Enchantments. Stuart Range is the best alpine granite in lower 48. Just don't tell anyone. Leavenworth cragging not too great for visiting climber. From Enchantments go to Index and then up to Squamish. And tell everyone it sucked when you get home

Will that's sick I'm movin to Georgia, not. Anyway there's no such thing as winter down here in So Cal. It gets in the low 60's and people put are all decked in sweaters and shoes and socks and shit. I'm like damn I got to put my shirt back on now. Fuck this shit. I'm goin to Josh this weekend but I'd rather be crankin at Index or skiin the cascade concrete or some shit rather than listen to all these poser so cal bitches talk shit about sumthin stoopid. Regardless...

Funny those dudes couldn't think of anything else to be pissed off about than... signs?

10-4. Zion ain't harder than anywhere else, and I'm aid climbing big wall weakman.... I just make Erik lead all the chimneys

This pitch in attached photo is by far the sickest, phattest, best ice I've ever seen in Field!!

I think Dean's linkups in El Cap are more impressive than a Slipstream / Polar / Weeping Wall linkup. Much harder (and probably just as dangerous) to climb El Cap in three hours than Polar Circus or Weeping Wall.

B.Y.O. Index death lynch squad eagerly awaits Sloth Man and his hammer and pins.

Benowitz has a humanistic component to his writing that Twight lacks. But not that its as good as Twight's.... Death, , and climbing.

Samet's recent article about posers / sprayers classified by geographic region or something of the like was dumb as hell. Boorish and stale. His article about the "sub" belay slave thing was only marginally better. Just not really all that funny. Jeff Apple-Benowitz on the other hand who writes for Climbing is way good. His writing (mostly of Alaska alpine shit) is real, jaded, and good. Not a whole lot of good, satirical climbing writers out there right now, except for Jon Sherman.

Lick my nooksack

There must be lots of in Oly

Hmm... perhaps you are corrent Mr. Brayshaw, but I think it is difficult to grade remote alpine climbs with the same system as used for pure rock climbs just a couple of minutes or hours from the road. That essentially makes the grading system irrelevent for remote alpine endevours. But maybe that's the point G-Spotter was making in the first place.
