That websites way tits. I joined up so I can share my pictures with the world

If you don't pick up the skiers, etc. hitchhiking, you will get BAD KARMA. If you ever find yourself in a similiar situation looking for a lift as part of an outdoor trip (from trailhead to trailhead, etc.) no one will ever pick your ass up. You'll have to walk because you have BAD KARMA.

Will's got the good beta. There's also a couple good coffee shops in Springdale, Dirty Ass Campground like Will said, and check for dude's racking up or chillin in the official Zion campground parking lot. We met a wierd ass dude from Boulder who was soloin' shit and looking for partners there last time. My guess is that there won't be LOTS of climbers there that time of year... too fuckin hot.

Its funny shit. The story takes place in some blue collar factory town in Pennsylvania. They go hunting outside of town and their in the Cascades. Hollywood.

Matt, sorry we missed you on Saturday. We saw your tracks heading down the northside of Heather ridge from the "col" just past the frozen lake. We skied off the south side. It was extremely wind blown on top of the ridge but good once we dropped in. We set off a few slides about a foot deep, one of which was pretty big. The week layer looked to be a result of wind loading. We had about a 1000' run of untracked heavy and deap turns through steep glades, ridges, and gullies. I would advise anyone to stay away from open bowls and faces in the area. The weak layer isn't too deep but could become potentially dangerous if released along a long crown. Steven's Pass backcountry is way tits. [ 02-11-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

shiiiiiit.

I bought a pair of used newer Asolos from 2nd ascent. They suck. The shells pinch my ankles becuase the liners are thin and crappy. Like they tried to make super light weight liners so the boot would be light but it just doesn't work. You can't lace up the liner either so the tongue migrates and that contributed to more ankle pinch. I think they're way beat, but maybe they'll work for your feet.

I've heard its cold as balls down in those canyons regardless of how hot it is outside.

1400 different colors!!!???? No way!

Does anyone know when Britney Spears' new album is coming out?

The writing in Rock & Ice is pretty good, except sometimes they have this guy named Will Strickland or something. He's no good. Like his report on Portland. It was way beat. I've seen some of the letters he's written to them too, he's out there... you can tell he's a reefer addict. Where do they find these people?

Which organ is that, the Love Organ?

They must have just had that one in Canada.

Dude I'm scared enough of offwidths and squeeze chimneys. I don't know how I'd do in a real cave. I've also already had my lifetime quota of being in the close vicinity of bird and rat shit from rockclimbing that I don't feel I need to subject myself to voluntarily cruising around places where these little nasty nocturnal creatures live Plus I don't want to buy all that Euro-stlye Petzl caving shit. BUT, like having sex with fat chicks, you shouldn't knock it till you try it. So maybe I'll try it.... caving that is.

What does Erik say after sex? "Get off me Dad, you're crushing my cigarettes!" [ 02-07-2002: Message edited by: specialed ] [ 02-07-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

Lee Majors = Capt. Caveman

If its too hot to do any walls do some canyoneering, like spelunking its the retarded bastard stepchild of climbing.

Sea of Dreams on El Cap. Since he's not a climber have him lead the A4 copperhead/hook pitches. You don't need alot of skill, just CAJONES.

vegetablebelay is Gary Coleman!!! I knew it!!!!

Nothing left to do but smile smile smile

I'd skip Zion in June unless you like horrendous debilitating heat. The average high temp in June for Zion is between 90-100. I've been there in early June when it was 105. We left out boom box in the car to go climbing and it melted. You can chase the shade, but every wall gets a fair amount of sun. But I don't remember any peregrine closures.

When I was a relatively new climber we were climbing a "classic" 10a sport route called 11th Commandment in Kootenai Canyon. This dude in my party was leading and was about 40 feet up when he got into a pumpy move he couldn't reverse and yelled "take!" The last bolt was at about shin level. He took a routine fall onto the bolt, which pulled, sending him for another thirty feet or so (with stretch). The next bolt held and he landed on top of his belayer, about 3 or 4 feet from the ground. That's the scariest thing I've ever seen climbing.
