  1. Hmmmm. I wonder why the snow levels up there are so low? Maybe warm weather snaps consolidated the snowpack.
  2. Dreamin'. Its all gone with the warm weather
  3. I could see it being useful for LONG ice routes in the greater ranges at belays or when you just need to stop and fuck with stuff, not so much for when you need to rest on lead.
  4. Saw some pics from that mind-numbingly long alpine ice route Mic Fowler and bro put up in China last year. Those dudes had standard leashes, but also a cord with a skyhook on the end they could hook onto their tools for an instant anchor. Seemed like a good idea, you could tuck it out of the way unlike a dummy cord.
  5. Unfortunatley, Distel the extent of your "climbing talk" is limited to discourse about roadtrips to Bish, during the course of which you play with your v-pad and say "sick" a lot. Maybe you could just tell us who the 8a.nu Euro superstar of the week is who just sent everyone's sick proj in only 2.34 tries.
  6. 10-15 ft. thin sidepull = 10c. Smoots wrong as usual, and 5.9 is easy, but its still 5.9.
  7. yeah but there weren't any boobs in TTV
  8. Nice. There's a good article on these routes in a CAJ of Fern's I was looking at. I don't know from what year, but maybe Fern or Don does.
  9. I think that operation is mostly self explanatory. Run a copper tube around the canister, with one end going up to the flame. I think there's even a more detailed description in the Book of Twight.
  10. I bring a dual purpose avy-poodle
  11. Exasperator isn't overrated if you don't have little mini fingers and toes. I'd say its right on to underrated even. Givler's crack's never been 5.8, always .7. And that traverse pitch on Outer is legit 5.9. You're just straight wrong today homes.
  12. Dude, you need to be a little more discerning about who you clmb with. A little bit of grab-ass on the glacier is one thing, but big wall masturbation is down right wrong.
  13. Whoaa!!! You boulderers are so wacky! Those crash pad shenanigans and communal chalk-bag hyjinks are the ultimate zany rock climbing antics.
  14. Approach to Lib. Crack is 20 minutes. Unless you are old fat and slow. Bivying on a wall is easy. Hauling up all the shit you need to do so is not. If you're too slow to climb lib crack in a day (I know a medium-fast party that did it car to car in 7hrs., and one in the party had never aided or jugged before), fix the first three then go down to the pub and return the next. Its WA Pass - alpinelite. Take advantage bro.
  15. knifeblades under windowsills are bomber
  16. pave it all, that way we can just drive to the top
  17. Herb if you get dissed by nugstop I'll go climbing with you buddy. I could use a nice scented oil massage before the difficult leads.
  18. Were they? I usually have trouble telling if someone is real or imaginary even after I meet them in person.
  19. I've "used" 'em on a couple occasions as pro and as anchors. Though I think if I farted they probably would have fallen out. They work a lot better for staking out the megamid I tell you what.
  20. It don't matter. Noone's interested in associating with a little itty bitty gym climber. I do know some midgets who post here, but they climb trad and shit.
  21. sorry, but yes, by about 5 years. Bullshit. The older the berry, the sweeter the juice. thaz the blacker the berry. Shit. She's probably blacker than a motherfucker too.
  22. sorry, but yes, by about 5 years. Bullshit. The older the berry, the sweeter the juice.
  23. Good thing you got a pickemup truck to haul all your gear to the gym.
