with a Megamid I have had reasonable bug avoidance success by 1)pitch it right down tight to the ground. 2)don't open the door or go into it or even LOOK at the tent until 0.067secs before you are ready to go to bed. Then go to bed really quickly .... and try not to breathe too much. following these steps I have had no worse bug problems than in a normal tent where the door is opened and closed a few times in the evening while fiddling and cooking and reading and peeing and such.

The 2nd bolted belay for Westward Ho as indicated on the topo found at http://www.seanet.com/~mattp/Darr/dome.htm doesn't seem to exist.

propane torch to burn off the greasy spooge left on all the holds from the hordes of gapers conned into thinking it's a route worth doing. It's getting plenty of traffic already - 4 parties last night!

Isn't Denmark trying to invade the Canadian Arctic these days?

Ya last night. I remembered my shoes this time. I should have also brought a scrub brush, propane torch, and a towel. choss heap.

I give to Rock On and Godforsaken Land as "classics". Dirty greasy munge

what is at stake here? getting your name in a guidebook? big whoop

only 415? even this little swedish girl can overhead press a horse!

The worst chossiest rock I have ever climbed has been granite. eg: Crap Crags and N.N.Gully on the Chief, Mt. Reh in Anderson River group, upper part of Peruvian Flake in Yosemite. Weetbix schist in New Zealand was also gross, but at least you could kick steps into it.

the steepest parts of the graph correspond to periods of time when you were looking for a date.

me! I can be there around 9:30am

I read another access society bulletin about the bird closure, which states that while the routes between Black Dyke and Freeway are closed from 80m height up to Bellygood, Black Dyke and Freeway are themselves not closed.

I have been to Index 3 times. I have climbed GNS 7 times

it ain't the shoe it's the climber. but don't get them too tight - unscrunched toes. Fit is more important than brand IMO.

ya but did you notice that zlib compression is finally ENABLED!!! ... Fuckin 'A boyee!!!!! ... take that gumnutsybian!

is there something similar to a Trango S that still has a front welt for clippy crampons?

I am pretty sure that the closed area only extends up to Bellygood. The nest is in the Western Dihedrals which is below and south of UBD. The wording of the closure is a little ambiguous but I interpret it to mean the vertical extent of the closure is from 100m above the ground up to Bellygood.

I have heard it described as "a serious sort of fun". Some creaky/loose flakes and healthy runouts. The top pitches of Millenium Falcon are another option in that neighbourhood.

12.5" and I'm just a girl

dummies Completely Obnox...... etc.

her height doesn't matter so much as the length of her back. 5'5" is not freakishly short for pack sizing unless she's all legs and no torso.

why how big are yours? c'mon Bulging Biceps Chestbeat thread!! ....you must feel inadequate or something to bring it up

resize your pictures jerky bolder boy

we had this debate already. the smart people said yes-still-an-onsight and the dumb people said no-ground-is-off-limits.
