You gonna order without trying on? Good luck wit dat...

Bah, gym climbing is neither. It's kinda funny that this place is so trad centric that the only jokes we ever get here are trads making fun of sportos - I don't remember any posts with sportos making fun of gym rats. It's like, hey, there's a piece of the food chain missing Anyway, I'd climb in a gym if somebody bought me a membership - but I wouldn't wear a helmet anymore than I'd wear one for calisthenics or a jog.

Since seeing accident at Vantage, every single time. Much sooner go climbing without a harness.

The Hilleberg tent catalog has this funny blurb about how zippers always fail sooner or later and that you should carry a spare zipper so you can do field repairs

Nelson has (or had) the zeros... aliens too... they're closed Sun/Mon, open by appointment only Tue, open all day Wed-Sat. I don't know how often I've gone up there right after a climbing trip because there was this thing I really should have had on the trip, only to remember too late that they're closed. Those funky hours have saved me a lot of $$ [ 08-20-2002, 09:54 AM: Message edited by: fleblebleb ]

Duh... I still have no idea where the is... Spill it, somebody...

Well, unless it was full... Hey Wayne, you forgot to mention what summit that was

Curious... what's the oldest summit register people have seen this summer? I haven't seen anything older than 1990 (Challenger). MountainMan's Buck TR mentions a register from 1965, that's pretty cool.

Is that the same Pat I climbed Cutthroat with after being stormed off the Carmigan?

I'm with Puget... take it easy, climb what you feel like, eventually the confidence comes back. When I started climbing I wasn't comfortable on even fairly basic stuff but I got better over time; since then I've had a setback, spooked myself, and now I am less comfortable than I used to be - but have definitely been getting better. Dru nailed it too... go have fun, climb cool alpine routes, enjoy being out there, forget about adrenaline climbing and even technical climbing for awhile. If you've ever come off a climb and thought, dang, that wasn't half as technical or difficult as I hoped, well, after getting spooked you have a new opportunity to really enjoy those technically simpler climbs.

I had a complicated alteration done at Rainy Pass... upside, incredibly well done, the garment literally looks like no work was done and it now fits perfectly; downside, astronomically expensive. I would only go there for way complicated stuff and it better be worth the $$-$$$.

Dammit... do I have to be Chronic Gumby after I'm finished with Chief Wanker? Where are those moderators? This one's for you!

That climb takes lots of cams, or hardly requires any pieces at all... depending on who leads it

This weekend, all over the couch. How was the weather up there?

Hey... Sloth, weren't you supposed to be bivi'd below Triumph last night? What happened? Too much ? Did you guys climb it Saturday morning?

What's the "complete Pickets Traverse"? Beckey's red book says "In August 1963 Alex Bertulis and Half Zantop made the first alpine traverse of the Picket Range, a 10-day trek..." Do the 10 days include both S and N Pickets?

That was kinda short notice Matt

I got photos of the NE Face of Fury, taken last Saturday/Sunday. I heard a couple of folks might be interested - send me email if that's you...

If you've climbed Crooked Thumb I'd like to hear from you...

Yeah baby, now that's what I call thread creep! Woo-hoo!

For the record, I was being sarcastic. But hey! We can turn this thread into a sprayfest instead

I took the boots to Ramutas and the lady there said sure, we'll stretch out the toebox, it'll be $7.50 and come back Wednesday. I was a bit surprised... I mean, shouldn't they want to know something about the shape of my foot? I wasn't too thrilled with the visit and I took the boots back home with me... Maybe I'll also check with Dave Page.

Hey, take it easy, I get the message - you're a gal, not a guy. Fine by me, go somewhere else for a date though. Didn't somebody else also mistake Trask for a guy or am I the only moron around? [ 08-15-2002, 10:35 PM: Message edited by: fleblebleb ]

Arcteryx gets this year's nomination for most slicked-up, pretty-looking, pain-in-the-butt navigation-nightmare of a website. It should be illegal to spend this much money on something and get a result that useless.

Yeah, dang, no more five page TNF slide show announcement posts, complete with yelling, boo-ing, thread creep and other goodies. A sad day.
