Talk about "hippy-ass". What a chump.

I'm not rich but pimping out Erik as a male prostitute does have its financial rewards. But I'd rather carry and fall on pre-sewn light weight and stronger (perlon?) slings than some hippy-ass tubular webbing from the 70's.

Fuzzy Bunny slippers at the belays. Way more points if you suprise your partner when he climbs onto the belay ledge by wearing a gorilla suit.

Thought maybe they'd opened up early or something. Maybe the birds left. Maybe someone shot 'em and BBQ'd 'em during last weeks nice weather. But who cares I'm going to Smith!!

I generally agree with MattP. Passing or being passed usually sucks. Thats great incentive to not put yourself in that situation by either climbing more obscure routes with long approaches, getting up super early, starting late, etc. Sometimes congestion on a route is unavoidable but its common sense that if you start a route right behind some gumbies there's probably going to be issues. Maybe in PDXclimbers case, their best bet would have been to come back another day once they got to the base and saw the situation. [ 04-10-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

Leaving a liberal (2-3") tail on your waterknot is a good pre-caution as well as checking the knots just as you would the rest of your gear prior to a climb. Using shoulder-length slings also gives the flexibility to extend them to reduce rope drag on wandering routes. Y'all climb with swami belts and EB's too?

I;m wondering if there is an expedient way to make QDs from pre-sewn slings or should I juts save the bucks and wait until I can afford a set of draws. I've heard that using webbing and the water knot doesn't produce very reliable results and should only be used in a pinch. Expedient Way? put the friggin biners on the presewn slings and ta-dau you've got a quickdraw. I like to duct tape the ends of the sling togethor to pinch the biner so they don't rotate all over the fuckin place.

Old Town is a good tavern. A little pricey, but agood place.

Hard to go wrong with Sportivas. Very well designed and fit. I've used Makalu and Nepal Top. They the bomb.

Anyone have any updated beta? Royal Collumns or Bend open this weekend?

No haul bag no ledge no backpacks short fix simul climb fast fast fast

Yeah what a viscous killer. We should put Coltrane in the battle pit with Roxy and take bets. They'd probably sit there and stare at their belly buttons.

Screw you Cocksucker!!!

There's a difference between talking shit on cascadeclimbers and being a rude self-righteous asshole too others you meet in the mountains (or at pub club). [ 04-09-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

I'd go but Erik stole my rasta knit cap last weekend and I just can't boulder without it. And I don't have my crashpad or big communal chalk bag with me. Damn.

Stay off the drugs there T-rask.

A lot of my snowboard/mountaineer/climber buddies have split decisions. You can use this setup with mountaineering boots, and I've heard the performance isn't bad, and you can tour anywhere and you'll be ready to climb. You'll also have a board that works great for b/c snowboarding with regular snowboard boots. YOu can also buy a conversion kit, pretty cheap but I'm not sure of the actual cost, that allows you to turn a regular snowboard into a split decision. My buddy Solon did that and snowboards gnarly shit with it. And you won't have to learn how to ski! [ 04-05-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]
