I learned this yesterday on Mt Washington - Pulled a monster sized hold while downclimbing the N Ridge unroped, landed on my ass then flipped backward over another ledge before stopping myself on a patch of scree. I feel like an asshole and should have been using a rope...

Ya know, I just saw someone at Smith 90 feet off the deck with a stick clip attached to their harness. 'Sup with that?

Oh, check the Mazamas climb page before you head out for a climb in Oregon

Yeah, no kidding. I hadn't climbed rock at all before this year, and now I'm leading easy trad and doing alpine routes previously unimaginable. No classes, few books, just a lot of searching and sifting and slack time at work, followed by as much climbing as I could muster. I've met, drank, climbed, and puffed with almost a dozen good people that I've met here. Climbing has done so many positive things for me this year and for that (and this site) I am grateful.

Has anyone had any experience with this store? They are online at www.northbynorthwest.net and have some good prices on some stuff I've been looking at. Just don't like to order online from someone I've never heard of. Thanks.

Shred - Wanted to do something alpine this weekend, but Smith sounds inviting. If you want to head down Bend way and carpool, drop me a PM or email.

Word. In all seriousness, CC.com rocks, thanks Jon and Timmy. Through it I have learned to climb this year and have met, climbed with, drank with, and learned from so many people here.

Wait, they have a reverse-bungie? Now that sounds groundbreaking. How much was that season pass again?

Darnit now, don't be dissin' on SkiBowl. 45 minutes away, and like a 750 ft vert on the upper bowl! Really though, there's some fun terain there. I'm boycotting Meadows this year (and have let them know why in writing). That said, first big powder day that Heather Canyon opens I'll probably be there, hmmm.

Anyone know of special deals at SkiBowl? It seems like they always have some that aren't really advertised. Last year: - AAA discount brought a midweek pass to $20. - One Friday there was a deal that if you came in with a receipt proving you bought $5 worth of certain Oregon products you got a free ticket. Funny thing was that one of the things you could buy was an Oregon scratch ticket. I bought five and won a buck on three, and ended up with a $2 ski day (though I don't recall ever turning them in ).

Huh huh, you knew what is was, nerd.

Damn, if TG is bringing the beer, I am there...

I did, but I thought I'd leave it for you.

'Tee hee'! Poppin' Fresh!

The old stuff from the nearly empty gallon cans sitting around in my basement just seemed to clog it up. Totally agree, new fuel will disolve all the gunk better than old fuel too, it seems. Although, last I checked MSR stopped selling fuel with their name on it? That's what I heard from a couple of local gear shops, and I can't find it on sale anywhere. Hmmm. I got a coupon in the mail for a free can from MSR not too long ago because their records showed that I had recently bought fuel from a bad can batch, where the cans leak and cause fires.
