agree with allison. red rocks in march is near purr-fect. only problem is the place gets clogged with spring-breakers. you have to get up waaay early and sneak in to get first dibs on any of the popular trad routes.
i lurked for MONTHS before finally getting the cajones to actually register. now that i'm in, i still get scared i'm gonna piss somebody off and get thrashed.
how come everybody hates dan larson?
RURP frightens me.
that really surprises me that the alphas are so puncture-prone. you'd think the plastic would be stronger....think this is just a fluke or are all alphas like that?
on a side note, i think 'smoky mcpot' is the next funniest name after 'richard feel free to use dick pumpington'
thanks for the responses so far. i've climbed in the invernos before and found them clunky and awkward. can't imagine trying to approach in them. also had problems with shin-bang in them. hmmm...anybody wanna buy em? er, they're great boots, really....
is the alpha warm? could one wear them in say, alaska without supergaitors? they LOOK like they'd be great to climb in, cause they look really low profile.
oh, i didn't know about 'der sausage shoppe'. thanks for clarifying that, dude. maybe peckerschmecker isn't such a good nominee....you seem to know a LOT about that guy, btw.
i definitely DON'T wanna get on RURP's bad side.
i'd like to be the first to welcome the newest member of cc.com, jools, from whistler!
welcome aboard, jools! hoot, hoot!
...erm, yeah i don't know what 'hoot hoot' is supposed to mean, but welcome anyway.
what's the consensus on the alpha? okay on the approach? good on rock? warm? how about on vertical ice?
btw, i wear trango extremes for everything and i think they rock. i'm only asking about the alphas cause i saw bigwall pete takeda wearing them in one of the latest mags, so now i've GOT to have a pair!
this is mr happy.
i thought he was a meat inspector at der sausage shoppe in leavenworth.
besides, i like everybody--i'm mr happy.
mr happy has spoken.
