  1. I've done them both. My Mom's Muscle Shirt on Flathead is better then both of those though. Don't get me wrong, Montana is killer and Blodgett has some great climbing and is definitly worth a trip, but most people might feel that its not worth the nine/ten hr drive when the Cascades and B.C. are closer ...
  2. Yeah there is great climbing in the B-root. But I think in the 6 yrs I climbed in them I only did one route that I'd say is actually worth the drive from Seattle. But I also wouldn't say that the approaches are any worse than the Cascades. The Cascades approaches are longer, but there's more to climb when you get there.
  3. Jordop you're being a dick. Lack of beta on climbing in Montana isn't so much a conscious effort by local climbers, its just because there are fewer climbers and the climbing is real "adventure" climbing, isn't that great, and isn't exactly a destination climbing area. If someone motivated to write an updated guidebook, I don't think anyone would really care. Anyway, Bug knows alot about climbing in the B-root and so do I so quit whining. Also a lot of ascents there, recently anyway, have been in the AAJ's. Apparantly you're just too fucking lazy to look. BTW: asking people at outdoor stores in Bozeman or Missoula is real hit or miss b/c they are both college towns with serious fluctuating residents. Employees may not know shit since they've only lived there for 2 months. But you might also find someone who knows something.
  4. Looks like better skiing than climbing

    My Deal...

    Mike, those guys suck. You and Dan - and faster than all thse big wall climbing volcanoe slogging gapers. Fuck 'em.
  6. Elene looking stylish as usual.
  7. Unless you are a complete gaper death in the mountain doesn't come from where you rack your #3 cam it comes from shit falling on your head and other objective factors.
  8. I've led pressure chamber once and followed it once. I had to hang and pull on gear both times. It is tough.
  9. Mixed ice lines in the aplental area accessed via ski lifts are a great use of the area I think. Bolts or not - I could care less. Though I imagine if bolting not allowed lots of pins would be used - I sure would.
  10. That's because I'm an enigma wrapped up in a riddle wrapped up in spandex ???????????????????????????????????????????????????
  11. Then why do you keep asking to "wear it on the next pitch" when we switch over at belays?
  12. Gear slings are great but they always get caught up in my kilt. And there's no place to clip the bag pipes in.
  13. Somewhat better than abandoning them, but bringing them to the animal shelter to give them a chance at adoption seems more humane, and more legal. But maybe this was just part of his esoteric plan to get national media exposure for his puppies. Now they will be adopted for sure.
  14. If you think murder mystery parties are a good time, you definitly can't go.
  15. Big deal. I downsolo-onsighted that in my approach shoes back in 1982. Serious though that is sick. But I think that 5.12? solo Huber did in the Dolomites was more ridiculous as it involved some insecure friction climbing and was way fucking exposed.
  16. That is sad. What a tool. And a dipshit to boot.
  17. Rock On. Perhaps the Bad 80's Fashion Forum might be even more appropriate.
  18. kids should be working not having fun and laughing.
  19. (Un)fortunately 15 day forecasts aren't very accu
  20. Like the Ancient Greeks, I sacrifice a goat and see how the blood splatters.
