Good point Except those moves tend to be fuckin strenuous!!

Big deal. Its the same move over and over again. You can just get away with that shit in France. Here they'd arrest you for being El Quaida and shit.

Fuckin Communist Hippy. Just like you damn liberals to leave the country on some acid-eating sex trip to Thailand right when your country needs you the most. For shame young man.

Huh? This is so untrue it makes my head spin. where did you hang out, the mall at Tysons Corner? The people I hung out with were from all over the country and the world and had huge diversity of backgrounds and view points. Contrast to here where apparently you get issued your green suburu with a dog and a "free tibet" sticker when you get your 206 phone number. Since when does diversity equal Clean, White, Professional and Suburban? Though I'm sure the people you met there had some enthralling opinions on the current political issues of the day.

Hell no. A friend sent it to me from Montana. I think its one of those motion triggered game cameras. Not photoshop though.

I lived there for a few months. It sucked. Ass. You can boulder at some slippery ass place called Carter Rock where you can work on your footwork to the point of extreme nausea. But there is actually a lot boulders in the woods around there that probably haven't been climbed on since George Washington was cranking v6. Seneca is like 4 hours through lots of traffic and super windy west viriginia roads. Other than that, just don't mention alpine climbing to anyone or be prepared for blank stares and a look of complete incomprehension. Also be prepared to deal with omnipresent self-righteous suburban volvo driving beaurocrats and perhaps the most bland monoculture found in any city in the country. However, so as not to be totally negative, D.C. does have lots of awesome dog parks and a cool dog owner scene.

There it is: Empirical proof that drinking causes coherence and clarity.

Yeah that five inches of snow and driving wind up at Hart's Pass on Saturday would have been "great" for climbing.

Attention Whore.

North Ridge of Stuart (if that's what they did)would be pretty slow going right now too with the snow and probably some verglass.

Be wary of wet rock and snow up high esp on north faces. But have fun beyotch. I'm goin craggin in the (partly) sunny weather.

In the spring of '98 on a warm clear day after the roads opened up in the B-root we drove up to St. Mary's TH and hiked up the peak. Ate some lunch at the summit, then skiied down the middle of the huge bowl behind St. Mary's across a partially frozen tairn. Continuing north into the Kootenai drainage we found natural half pipe for another 1000' vert. Finally, after some sketchy turns on wet snow on rock we began a heinous down shwack to the creek. About 3500' of hero corn in all. After an extreme log crossing across a roaring creek with tele boots on we hiked out the canyon past the sport routes to a stashed truck. One of the best days of many I had in the B-root.

Why'd you shoot that poor reindeer in the ass?

If only 50 ft, 5.6 who fucking cares anyway? I've used Triblocs to ascend skinny ropes. They worked just fine.

On the other hand, DRU, notched nose can lead to nuts getting hung up when you're in a tight spot. But I drop shit all the time so I shouldn't talk. MC - Nelson carries all that shit.

CHEVY

Mixed alpine season? meaning wet snow and rock?

Why do you need to practice scaring the shit out of yourself?

But hey, desperate times require desperate measures.

Ken can cook

Mine have been pretty worked on multiple alpine routes, frozen overnight on glaciers, and fallen on. Seem to be holding up just fine.

It depends on how far above the last piece you are. If its past your feet and the rope goes between your legs when you fall instead of one side which would result on getting flipped ass over teakettle and a nice rope burn on the back of your knee. A lot less likely to get flipped if the rope runs to the side not b/w your legs.

Corn Bread ... ain't nuthin wrong with that.
