Jeez, we are up to Version 9.0 now, and almost 150 new routes 5273.pdf

Looks like a San Juan island/Olympics/Spokane choss pile

Page John Scurlock and get him in the air.

Well, given the short and unpredictable season it's hard to plan a vacation around it. On the other hand, when SW BC is in it's definitely worth coming here. bullshit.

Sounds like they shoulda brought deadmen or pickets instead of screws....

I don't think long steep hard and nice is the definition of world class. Just nice. I mean, Mousetrap vs Cascade Falls. Mousetrap is longer, better climbing, slightly more hard climbing, and no real avvy hazard. Makes it better in my view. But Mousetrap has a one week season if lucky while Cascade is around for 5 months. That's the real difference. As for nothing on the Coast equal to Stanley Headwall or Rundle - it's here. Seen tons of that stuff. Mostly not right off the road, though, so it hasn't been climbed yet.

Seems like they postdate Montezuma by a couple hundred years, hombre. That was Cortez the Killer, a Spaniard.

The fact is this area is shit for ice, period. Just to prove my point I have done more then 50% climbs listed in West Coast Ice, and since according to you I have done shit, but climbed 50% of lines, then this area doesn't really offer shit. 50% is a failing grade, and sounds like you filled the bowl with turds and not buds

Quality and frequency are two different things. There's plenty of amazing climbs in the Rockies that rarely form, like the full ice version of Terminator.

Bob, fact is you haven't done shit on the Coast and that's why you have so few climbs round here to try to compare to Rockies.

I haven't climbed too much with Nomics but the Cassins weigh about the same and have pretty much identical clearance over bulges. I didn't really notice any difference in grip utility, but that was using thin gloves. Might be different with thicker gloves. The Cassin grip is definitely simpler and less adjustable than the Nomic. I think the only difference between the X Dry, X Dream and X All Mtn is the grip, and at least on the model I have, it's designed so you can take the whole one piece grip off the shaft and replace it with a different model grip if you want.

fixed that for u

I have a pair of BD Fusions, a pair of the Cassins (I think mine are the X Dry, but the same ones are now the X All Mountain) and a pair of Quarks. The Fusions are ass. They are heavy and the grip is dumb. They bounce when I swing them. The Cassins are the best tool I've ever used. Been ice climbing for 20+ years. They also DT better than the Fusions. The one area the Cassins let me down is in alpine snow climbing. The geometry puts your hand more in the snow than with the Quark and they don't plunge shaft quite as well. So I use my Quarks on spring/fall alpine routes and the Cassins on everything else and loan the Fusions to people that want to try out ice climbing.

bullshit pseudoscience geology. "true granite" is vanishingly rare. granodiorite and quartzdiorite and quartz monzonite and tonalite are common as dirt. makes no difference, hook wise. also why are you cam hooking on a free climb anyway? and why would cam hooking on an aid climb alter the free climb? so much for logic.

North buttress of Sabre.

Just proves you should do heroin every day for 20 years like Ginger Baker, and outlive the bassist.
