  1. In Europe we are eating horse, it is tasty if properly prepared.
  2. Hello ask any European, waxing is the way to go. no stubbles. just ask Arnold!
  3. Hello I am no avatar. Silly postings like this are the main reason why I am not posting more often. Be bringing a portaledge to Rope up!! We will have party on Castle Rock!
  4. Hello I am bolting the Toothie very soon to establish bomber fixed anchors for DJ portaledge party and climbers rave How many bolts should I place per pitch? The standard for such a graded climb in Europe is to be six or eight. I am also thinking there should be via ferrata route on north side.
  5. Hello all This party sounds like to be good funs for all. I am thinking it would be good time to combine with my portaledge rave party on the Toothie idea. Where are some good areasd in Leavenworth for having such a party? For safeties and ease of set up would be good to have or place many fixed anchors for the porta ledges. Also to have near a road or to be with a good trail for carrying up the generators and turntables and equipment. I am thinking with a full moon a disco ball is not to be necessary.
  6. is anyone in the chat room tonight?
  7. hello i am reading in new canadian alpine journal that when fred beckey had to bivouac with ray borbon who i think is capitan caveman on this site, in the nuit range, the last summer, he is now calling it his most miserable bivouac ever. mr caveman did you insist on being the spoon and not the jelly!
  8. hello i am thinking these grades are accurate mostly but with a few errors. australia has grades 15-18 but chart jumps from 15=5.9 to 19=10a? not so. the + added to British technical grades is silly and not used. there is no technical british 7c and only a few 7b. but otherwise i am finding this list very useful. for instance 12a sport route =7a+ french = australian 25, is true i am thinking. route like slinkin leopard in araps is about as hard as 7a+ like Caraibe at my home crag of Claret or as Flingus Clingus 12a at Pets Wall in Squamish

    Guess Who?

    You are girls skipping school and going to Hooters???? Should you not be going to see the Chippendales or are you skipping school to apply for jobs?
  10. isnt the cherry the main course and not a condimente? hey look! I get to make the squirrel today
  11. Hello It is good to hear of other competent climber liking to go fast and light in single push style of toothie. Did you see the fixed anchors we have been installing near PineApple Pass for Portaledge Party? We are now trying to find generator system so that DJ can spin musics and it will be like a Love Parade but alpine. Probably the fullest moon of August will be good for this event, yes?
  12. How dare they ban Big Wall Rocky? He is an experienced climber who only ever posted good informations to this sight!!
  13. Hello Friends! Summer is now coming to here! When should we have our portaledge Love Parade on the Toothie? I dont think too many new bolted anchors will be required. Mr Gowans may invite all the women he knows and Fence Spitter too. Between the two of them, that might be one girl!
  14. Hello I like this g-spotting.net Thank you for the link. Make sure your steak is not from British cow due to Mad Cow disease. Thank you.

    Huh.

    Chongo, Whillans, Daisy RIP.
  17. hello so far i have been climbing and training at this index town wall many times during the winter the thin cracks there are good for practicing for the leashlees ascents at alpine and in the competitions however the protection is not so good sometimes where there is only crack for tools and points i have improved several of these sections with bolts to allow mixed-climbing of these passages with protection opportunities i do not think that nailing should be done to damage the crack as it might make the climb easier. better to put a strong bolt in smooth rock glacis type, than damage crack and make it more easy by using piton. so far the hardest route i am sending leashress this winter has been ironhorse

    Haystack

    hello, you cannot fool me. that photo is not of si mountain. it is of the smith rock, asterix pass. i have been to that new ice farming area there, and found it to be mediocre. they need to have more ice and less drilled pockets there, to make for good climbing. thank you to whom ever deleted my trip report about Dragentail by the way. In Europe we are more polite than this!
  19. thank you all for comments you have given. cascade climber i will climb that route this year if you say so but surely we can speculate about grading before then? compared with say the Navigation Wall on Sleese, 22 pitches at 5-10d, to say a 12 pitch 10-a is also V sounds surprising to me which is why i mentioned it. liberty crack at V also sounds suspicious, but perhaps the aid slows down many? if you only aid the roof pitch, this surely must be a IV. perhaps harder if placements is not in situ. i have seen these mclane guides and do not agree with all grades he has given too. these routes on tantalus look harder and more remote than on joffre but joffre is given more high a grade in many cases. also this ice face in garibaldi park is given hardest ice route at td, is it really comparable to a td such as shroud on grands jorasses? looks like easier and mostly snow climbing to me.
  20. Why is this grade used for alpine routes. You should switch to European alpine grades like the Canadians are now doing. I think the NCCS grade in America is being abused to. Every person seems to inflate this grade a bit at a time. I look at example like route done by Jens and Ben on Nooksak Tower. They gave it Grade V for a 12 pitch route at 10a. Since it is remote and loose it might be TD- but is it really V when compared to V like on Slesse or in Yosemite? I do not think so.

    Mystery Photo

    hello climbers, i am thinking this game is fun to play too. this attached photo, is of an area i found in southern washington, well, south of tacoma i think. i dont know, but perhaps there are no climbs yet on this sharp arete or the dalle beneath it? the rock, seemed to be of granite nature to my eye.
  22. Hello, Are not many of those country getting american military aid?? As if anyone thinks Portugal is serious world power anyways. please. would they invade spain or what? like canada invading usa, haha. i notice that american capital is fleeing in advance of war, to europe, mainly ireland, france, germany, former yugo. this is why euro goes up, and american dollar goes down - mismanagement of mister bush. its ok though, in my contract i am getting paid in euro by my company, so it means i am getting raises every day for weeks now.
  23. Only leashless spray should be allowed on site like this. To spray with leash is the aid and style of bad.
  24. I went to this Rock Trip to see the best of America confront the Europeans on the home-ground. It was very sweet for several days as lots of the sending went down. There was not the fighting I had thought was to happen, but instead, friendship and peace feelings. I saw some of these hard-guys work on and do a new V13 etc etc. Myself I completed one V9, two V7, lots of easier ones before my finger was hurt with a flapping skin injury - and had a good party time in the natural hot tubs etcetera also. And Chris Sharma, he asked me to give his greatest affection to a girl named Kia (?spelling I dont know that good) for some time of love they spent together in the past. He said she lives in Washington so I post it here if you know her, please pass it on.
  25. after this post you know what animal will appear.
