ski season just started and you have to buy a set of tele, randonee, and alpine gear. how the heck are you going to afford a big wall rack on top of all that ski gear? embrace the ski season for a few months. worry about the rack later.

Taking a short trip to Joshua Tree and looking for recommendations on trad and sport routes, 5.6-5.10. Also which guidebook would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

take a break from climbing and focus on another sport for a while. variety is the spice of life.

I think his point was your just another cc pocket hardman, who sprays far bigger than he can sack. yeah that was my point, but said with much less tact. If I don't know anything, then why are there so many people who agree with me? i am not saying you don't know anything, and i don't necessarily disagree with you, although i have straight skins on shaped skis and get by just fine. it is what works for each individual. what i had a problem with was your smart ass comment/diss to beck, on a valid point i must add, based solely on your own admitted experience off your website. some of us don't want nor have the money for 2 or 3 pairs of skins.

You're the only one on XCDs these days, Beck. I tried using my straight skins on my shaped skis. Once. The next day I bought fat skins and trimmed them to fit. It sucks to shift your weight slightly only to faceplant because you're now standing on the unskinned edge of your ski. Not cool. i love this shit. only on cc.com will you have someone who appears to have just started skiing (cracked) giving a bunch of crap to someone who has probably been skiing longer (beck) than said person has been alive. What's your point? Beck didn't even give any 'compelling reasons' against shaped skins other than versatility. My point is you talk like you know everything, yet you admittedly just bought the gear six months ago. Beck asks some legitimate questions and you bash on him. Why don't you get some experience before you start laying waste to everyone elses points.

Erik, Explain to me how that is worse than what Will is doing with this thread by publicly bashing ricardo. As I understand it Ricardo was discussing this one other person over a radio, yet Will is bashing this guy on the internet, even after he got his gear back anyways. What is the purpose of that? That is complete f-in asshole in my book to rail on someone over the internet.

"You killed my father, prepare to die!"

The best part of this whole f-in stupid argument is that Will admittedly placed one pin as well, so as far as I am concerned everything he said about climbing it clean is discredited. Maybe you were in over your head? Get over your lost gear buddy.

look in the travel section in the seattle times sunday paper. go with one of those little travel angencies that mostly deals with travel to and from south america, they usually have price quotes in the sunday paper. i believe we went with buena vista travel out of bellevue in 2000.

It looks like Greg already has someone lined up. Anyone interested in getting out on alpine routes or local cragging this weekend? Drop me a PM.

check your pm's

Shorts over polypro? attitude you are a dumbass. do you ever contribute anything worth a shit? why do you f-in care what someone wears? the best part is you probably couldn't even walk around your house in 48 hours.

go bouldering, it is much better for your health. plus you can put that super giant crash pad to use.

quit spraying and get to work you lazy ass

yo cavey what's up? i know i am a wimpy bitch. are you getting out this weekend?

no i think this is more appropriate.

yeah i don't know. you might see me up there.

time to go to bed rudy, you have a tough day of climbing tomorrow.

rumr why go to squamish and clip bolts? the masses want to know.

yeah i got another rope gun besides rumr. if he decides not to go for some reason you can be partner. either way hopefully i will still be out there. too nice to be working.

i might be out there as well. just look for the ghetto honda. tlg i think you know what it looks like. not sure what we will be climbing though.

so are you going stupidass, i mean rumr?

rumr slacker a$$ bitch, why don't you quit your whining and get back to work, you still have another 1/2 hour before you can leave.
