cappellini

sorry they sold almost immediately...as soon as i figure out how i will remove the post

black diamond switchblade water ice crampons......$40 dcapp@tumwater.net

i smashed it to smitherines as it was ruining my wilderness experience...leave that trash at home

hithchhiking will work if your not filthy hippies....

don't be so complex.....if boreals fit buy boreals...i also have flintstone feet and boreals fit them like no other.....the best ones for all around crack climbing, particularly in the mountains are lasers...as long as you buy them the same size as your sneakers they are quite comfortable...if you have poor technique stick to board lasted shoes...buy balets, they are made by boreal....kaukulators are trash....they climb well but disintegrate if you add a little crack..i have a pair and they are covered with leather patches.....ripped out before i wore off the first sole........

i said the bag could give you the oversized fatass...but now that we're exchanging insults i guess the bag won't be as much of a problem asyour ass....

hang it from a leash like a hammer if you think it might give you an oversized fatass in widecracks

i'll trade beer for ladybugs....if someone were to scoop up handfulls and bring them to my house...i got aphids on all sorts of shit.....i hate the little pricks...

give it a rest caveray.........i've seen you cuddleing baby chicks in the bathroom........and besides you've already done the easy route at midnight...you don't need to go back.....its a long walk to aid climb...

WATCH YOUR STEP SOFTY...ITS A DANGEROUS WORLD OUT THERE

i SPOKE WITH THE TECHNICIANS WHO BRAGGED OF RAPPING DOWN THE CLIFF AND OBSERVING THE NESTS IN 2000, EITHER THEY WERE FULL OF SHIT OR THEY NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO BRAG TO RAT...EITHER WAY THE DISTRICT RANGER WILL CLOSE IT PERMANENTLEY IF PEOPLE DON'T STAY AWAY...DON'T BE SILLY, MIDNIGHT IS AN INSIGNIFICANT PILE..... LATEST NEWS...THE ENTIRE AREA IS BOOBYTRAPPED VIETCONG STYLE...THE DEVICES ARE INTENDED TO MAME, INJURE, AND TO KILL IN A SLOW AND PAINFULL MANNER.......I HAVE ALSO HIRED A BAND OF MERCINARIES TO LIE IN WAIT AND INSTALL EXPLOSIVE DEVICES (MOB STYLE) IN CAVEMAN'S VEICLE....WHEREVER THEY FIND IT PARKED...EVEN IF IT SHOWS UP AT MY HOUSE....

wow a sizeist boy with bubbies? you must hate skinny people too..........

raptor closures are typically in effect because biologists have little or no data to confirm nor deny that humans in the vacinity of nesting birds effect their likelyhood for successfull breeding....so for now only they can disturb the birds....... the only people to have observed the nests on tumwater mountain as far as i know were forest service seasonal technicians in 2000, not biologists nor climbers...as suspected they rappelled down and harrassed the birds as ordered by there supervisors....the birds were obsrerved to be following the 1950's marriage handbook: straight sex, misionary style, for the purpose of reproduction only...any deviations from this theme including sex in front of others will be considered a perversion and senator mccarthy will have you under survailance and you may be asked to testify under oath in endless senate hearings, regarding you, your hippy friends, communism and other archpatriotic activities... i have allowed curiosity take me up there to "harrass" these birds and found that yes they were in the vacinity .... they were on noontime and they were displeased by the general proximity of the cliff swallows and their insescent mobbing and harrassment...either that or they were hunting cliff swallows... rumor has it, the USFS has installed motion detection video cameras on midnight and noontime rock and in the castle rock parking lot...larry the legend has a sattellite link to these monitors and an in-dash display....although the closure is voluntary, there are a number of other citations that larry will be happy to introduce you to when he sees your ugly mug and/or your license plate in the future.....it is still unclear what they plan to do with the videos of the falcons getting it on..................

wow that pitch was easy.....what a waist of bolts...

If you want a long day of climbing without snow and seeping water look up on the icicle ridge. South facing quality granite, much nicer than the insignificant rubble piles by the road. there are a number of enormous cliffs, all of which have been climbed, just look up any drainage. they are all good and only about an hour or two from the road, depending on how much shit you bring. Moderate five star routes are easy to find, and difficult sections can be easily avoided and/or quickly aided if encountered.

I have dogs...when i recreate the dogs go....if the dogs can't go (eg national parks) i don't go...as far as a leash, they don't even wear collars....they tend to keep snafflehounds out of the packs and enjoy chasing other vermin..i mean wildlife for the city folks....my dogs listen and typically come to a quick wistle or a couple of claps...yea sure some humans are bad and their dogs may not know much but at least the poor creatures get to go out and have some fun...what fun is collar and chain, isn't that what the man has you fitted with five days a week and that is part of the reason why your at the crags......i agree with most of what you all say, although if the dog pissed on your rope chances are it stunk like something worse and needed to be washed or thrown out, that's why the dog felt a need to piss on it....if you don't want dogs at crags, than go climb in yosemite or zion...if a generally likeable dog is threatening you, particularly a german shepard, chances are you are acting suspicious or guilty and you might want to lighten up...humans have had dogs for companions since the very seeds of civilized cohabitation (the stone age), if you are so uncivilized that you can't appreciate dogs than go back in whatever cube shaped hole you crawled out of and leave rocks for cave people and their canine companions........

truely stupid......i love 1/4 inch bolts...they are faster to place...when they are new, they are not manky, when they are old they are old not manky, if someone wants to waste there time replacing them before they pull out on there own who cares...as long as they aren't doing it when i need a partner to do some real climbing and they are too busy waisting there time pulling out perfectly good old bolts..old 1/4 inch hangers placed by a climbing icon of the past four decades look really cool on your coffee table and make for excellent conversation pieces...i love to acquire old relics while climbing...i have a whole wad of the shit....drilling a bolt ladder on lead is by no means a big deal, it is a ladder, you are protected by your last bolt while drilling.....whoopdeedoodadaydipshit i drilled a bolt ladder on lead i am so brave!!!!!!!!! drill it on rappel if you can get to the anchor by another means, who #$%%^^@ing cares!!!!!truely stupid indeed....to experience the legacy left by the first ascent, the fixed pro should be replaced following each successive ascent........

you can say any foolish thing to my dog and he will say....f@#$$ck you gimmee some bacon or i'll bite your thumbs off sissy..........

stay away from any significant crags in the icicle or tumwater...they are dangerous dirty and not worth the walk....trust the guide books which pay no head to these rubble piles..i will trundle giant piles of rubble onto your head and fill your eye sockets with piss if i catch you up there...they suck...you would have to be an idiot to walk for an hour and a half to choke on vistas of the entire stuart range while sitting on flowered ledges and climb continuous crack systems for hundreds or even a thousand feet without needing fixed gear...there are better climbs on snow creek, go there......

oh yea before i go...kithkshultz..are you sure your not flaming????? cuz if so...sum boys hairn dryden prolly thank you gut a perty mouth.....

my favorite topic is back....a day doesn't go by when i go to sunshine wall and climb safely with natural gear, within arms reach of easily avoided, distracting, preplaced expansion bolts...or worse, spend the entire day looking at a decent line i haven't climbed in a while but can't climb because there is a group of ten camped out on some silly contrivance within arms reach of the natural line...they never finish and go away like the typical party leading with natural protection would.....they hang out on that tr all day, all ten at the base of the route not just the belayer... ..those bolted contrivances are masturbative convenience...mear contrivance created by the weak, lazy or momentarily disillusioned....it's like eating a fu#$%ing "Lunchable"....selfish, shameless, and unsightly... there is an almost unending wealth of excellent rock in central washington that is well suited for bolted climbing...there are currently hundreds of routes like these at vantage, most of them quite good...but there is not a logical argument out there that can claim a line of preplaced expansion bolts is justifiable, when within arms reach of natural gear placements..you people must be ignorant, arrogant, or just simply inbred...i aplaud the brave soles who chose the boston tea party approach to saying enough is enough....they are standing up for the rock we invite ourselves to climb on...show some respect, and for ch@##$st sake...live a little and use your rack once in a while.......if you don't have one you can borrow mine as long as you let me borrow your stick clip when i'm sport climbing...

yo e,face climbing is insecure...start pretending you look real sexy when you face climb, it may help more than the prison ownership thing....do you make carabiners too???? i'm too sexy for my draws, too sexy for my stick clip, too sexy for my tights..............

it's another beutiful day...forecast looks good all week....if your not a soft ass there will be plenty of dry warm crags...if not there are always boulders..bring a pad and a spotter and go to the hobo boulders, you may get busted up without..they have been accessible for months...above the forest sign at the base of the tumwater...there is an anchor on top of the big canoe shaped prow near the vine maple up high...good tr's their

[ quote: My old American made Moonstone parka is almost worn out. What should I replace it with? patch your old jacket and buy nothing....goretex doesn't really work that great in the northwest anyway....... if i didn't know better i'd think this self righteous uppermiddleclass thread was being posted exclusively in boulder...buy local climb global...

hey jerome...you got it wrong...smith is a good place to stop when you are on your way to a real climbing destination....you will never wait in line for a crack at smith...
