  1. What happens next - he fixes the cable?
  2. Chuck Norris' birthday cake doesn't have candles... it has flamethrowers.
  3. Don't wear a dedicated ice glove... or a waterproof glove. Something with a durable leather palm and a minimum of seams. BD Pursuit works fine. A nice softshell glove, leather palm, not too insulated, bulky or waterproof. Add a $10 pair of winter weight rubber palm gloves for approach and a pair of your trashed old but still warm gloves for belays and rapping and you're good to go.
  4. Can anyone explain to me why Sleep Country Canada and Sleep Country USA had different ownership and different corporate history and were never part of the same brand but nonetheless had the same damn slogan? It's confusing. It's like if Inca Cola was "The Real Thing".
  5. Why BUY a mattress anywhere else? Buy, not "get". Damn it.
  6. Didn't the Uriostes make a 2 foot cam out of wood for hanging body weight off of while bolting a chimney route in Red Rocks?
  7. It's a lot shorter flight to Pantheons from Mike's hangar, and the Bells are more fuel efficient than A Stars, but the big aStar at Hagensborg is a total beast - four big climbers plus a massive amount of gear move no problema.
  8. But not this weekend, cause it's going to snow.

    No, his mind is not for rent To any God or government. Always hopeful, yet discontent, He knows changes arent permanent, But change is. And what you say about his company Is what you say about society. Catch the witness, catch the wit, Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
  10. Highwayman's knot is a good obscure one with a quick-release use.
  11. he's too busy racking up the high score at pocket pool.

  13. The best climbing T-shirts having the most fun are the ones you buy out of some guy's VW van.
  14. If you don't know how to make royalty-free music it is time to learn.
  15. Can anyone out there tell the difference betwen robusta and arabica after it's been instantized? I'm still going to carry my backcountry espresso maker. It may be 300g but that's 300g of PURE POWER.
  16. I would bet it's one of the silly made up names on bivy.com

    JAWS just add water & stir
  18. This is one of the Mamquam summits?
  19. Colors aren't the only way to differentiate gear. Patterns and location can be used as well. Dude! the American flag and the French flag aren't the same just because they have the same colours? whoa
  20. For alpine, Leeper Z's aren't so great. I've gone through a couple dozen short LAs, Bugaboos and Kbs, and small angles for raps & so on and still have the same 4 LZs that I bought 10 years ago. A Leeper and two small-med angles works great for breaking open locks, though.
  21. Excellent trip report. The standard route is a popular hike and has been rated as "moderate scrambling" or "Class 2-3" in various guidebooks. Even allowing for ski boots and the presence of snow, calling this 5th Class might be pushing it a bit.
  22. OMG the Military-Industrial-Eddie Complex!

    HAVE U EVER FROSTBITTEN URANUS?
  24. It depends on what kind of rock you plan to climb. Short soft iron pins are often Lost arrow style and place in many cracks where the standard knifeblade or Bugaboo does not go in so well.
  25. By the way it's "Coast Mountains". The "Coast Range" is in Oregon.
