just call yourself an AMGA 'aspirant' ... I've seen a few indy guide types use that spin to fake some 'official' credibility.

what's your technique for swaging the nylon string?

I saw one white copy, not bound in any fancy way.

the Index general store has the Clint Cummins one

last weekend there was a purple camalot stuck but rattly on Godzilla. A long nut-tool and needle nose vicegrips would probably get it out.

jane hengeveld is my climbing hero. someday I hope for the honour of watching her top-rope Doing the Dishes

however the variation finish which traverses far left at the start of the sixth pitch and continues up blueberry and mud choked chimmenies sports ONE thrilling move of 5.10 lichen slab. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

and Oregon is the only place where you ever have climbed or plan to climb. [ 08-28-2002, 04:52 PM: Message edited by: fern ]

like I said above, 'Ha Ling Peak' is the original name. 'Chinaman's Peak' is the lazy popular label. Maybe they should rename it Mt. Trudeau

McLane apparently proclaimed the route overbolted and john Howe lamented that the bolting was 'saggy' (i.e. you can sag on the bolts at the cruxes) ... With accolades like that it is an instant classic.

if you don't know the way down from the centre summit then try not to get benighted.

rope below: star chek p2, triage arete, totally clips, some other thing at smith that crosses a bunch of other routes and ends at the top of a cliff rope above: naturopath, besot and flushed, BBQ da pope do slab climbs count as sport climbs though, even if the only pro is bolts? 'cause I sure wouldn't want to take repeated whippers

FWIW the zipper on my Bibler (~6 yrs old pre BD, Eldorado bought 2nd hand) is a YKK. No troubles after multiple weeks of alpine living, and not taking much care about straining it. I think you got a jingus zipper and you should raise hell. The holes in the floor are your own fault though, and easier to fix anyways. Personally I'd rather have a lightweight floor with 0.005% by area seamgrip patching holes than a heavyweight floor.

more lego picture not for children or Boeing employees how about some Kraftwerk?

the real dru has less hair on his head and more on his palms ... I mean chin ... plus glasses. Looks kinda like this

that's not dru that's Andrew Port and that's not even his own helmet - total set-up
