Nice climb guys.

You guys haven't had your coffee yet?

Nice pic Dave. Did you head in from Rainy Pass? I punked out at the base of the route about 4 years ago, and need to get back in there.

wow...that went right over your head SK

Great article.

For long sloppy hikes with a bigger pack I like the Lowa low tops. Otherwise it's my old Sticky weekends or Chacos. Trask has son? Now I've heard it all...

Get one of these:

I'm surprised no one's taken a crowbar to it.

For someone who's only been around for a couple of months, you sure talk a lot of smack about two guys who have quite a bit of history on this site. If you don't like it, get lost. The only thing you've managed to do is spew about scuba diving and piss people off.

Hey Harmon...pay attention. He posted that LAST YEAR.

Don't matter as long as me and Amber are on the same rope team.

I scramble eggs... WTF is a scrambler?

I've used both on wet ropes and for me the tiblocs were easier to use because they release faster. The only problem is the teeth can chew up your ropes pretty bad.

I have also heard good things about Dr. Zorn. If you're nice, he might also write you a scrip for a Polish Bob Massage

That's been around for awhile in different forms, but the original might've been Messner?

That is so true

American Alpine Institute offers a good one. WMI/Nols just added a similar class, but it's in Lander, WY this year.

Board lasted shoes like the Ace or great for long routes and cragging all day. Manufacturers are getting away from Board lasted shoes because despite the fact they edge better than slip lasted shoes, they aren't as sensitive or "performance" oriented. Since the trend nowadays is going towards gym climbing (they're making gym climbing specific shoes now...pathetic), that's where they're focusing their efforts.

Or at the very least a prusik. I hope the recovery is a speedy one. I hope newbies realize that rappelling like you're in a bad Hollywood movie (not saying your buddy was either a newbie or rapping carelessly) only manages to kick down rocks and increase the chance of losing control of your rope.

I hear they might have Sauna Sausage Dwayner and Pope style on the main stage...
