i have one of those black diamond blue rings... used to squeeze that thing all during my classes in high school and while driving....(ahh, that explains all the tickets...) anyrate, they definitely are a good idea but, bouldering is the best way to get strong... buildering is the second and lifting free weights is the third. grip strengtheners imho is the worst.

i climb all year. i ain't knockin his idea... i just think its a waste of time. but, I am me and he is michael_layton.

a nice topo of a great wall and direct line up to the top picture stolen off chucK's website...hopefully he doesn't mind.....

hey just cuz i am polish you little beyotch...doesn't make me a dumbass..... you say stuff gets lost in a mound of crap i say print it off before it is lost or save to your favorites.. where did i say routes you don't know about? maybe you can't read. climbers learn about many routes after they are posted here... eg infinite bliss, gato negro, triple c's, traverses of many peaks, or even the northern dihedral on snow creek wall... the point is mikey, i think your time would be better spent studying for the chiro exams then writing another instruction manual online or not... but, what do i know, i am polish and a dumbass and definitely not as cool as you so go for it.

stfu mouthbreathing windowlicker where were you last month when i needed someone to climb eleperch splitters??!!!? huuuuHHH? probably sraying on the internet no doubt.

maybe you should link those threads with the good beta to a printer or word program or even save them as thread favorites.... is the chiropractic profession not looking very promising for you or something...or do you need more money cuz the goverment won't loan you enuff??? anyrate, go for it and good luck....

online versions included. i gots an idear. why don't you start a website where people post the same shit you are referring to in your topic post.... oh wait. thats what cc.com is about. but, fer sure go for it mike, cause you can't fail until you try.

you bitch that was sooo last month. grrrrr....

you sure it wasn't related to combo of grip strengthener and bouldering.

actually limestone can be really killer...the stuff in the nw mostly sucks bad. go to the southwest in arizona or the verdon in france for better repensentation. then climb granite....slightly better rock imho.

climbed the northern dihedral of snowcrick today with cappellini. should have been called the northern dirty ditch. however every move was sweet....especially when jammin into dirty, flowery, bushy, mossy hand cracks... every pitch was solid .9+, 'cept maybe the last one at 5.8 or easy .9; highly recommend someone going for what I think might be the 4th or 5th ascent....unless more people know of repeats..... one pitch i was pulling sheets of moss (at least 4inches thick)off the cracks and i found a piton underneath. nonetheless, the route is way cleaner than before and deserves more attention. it is located in the obvious corner along the right (north) side of the shield. start in gully below two tree and follow the killer crack system. 4-5 pitches...gear to 4" with emphasis in hand size pieces and tcus...although we didn't have helmets, its probably a good idea..in the shade in the late morning....goggles also helpful until this climb sees the traffic it needs... enjoy...i think this dethroned MJane dihedral as my favorite route on snow tick.

dude you are lame. nolsE we don't need 50+ photos if they are not sending granite in all of them.....

it is limestone. good fuking luck.

just what people need....another instruction manual. good thinking mike. i suppose having six topos of the same route with different perspectives is better than one or none at all.

is worse than anything in the world... oh the anticipation and angst. must climb soon or you just might blow a fuse. thanks for this fine media to vent my blabbering mind of goo. ahhh, i just heard him pull into the driveway. finally. what is your worst waiting experience??

they have all said that before. i am sure you will sucked back in before you know it. cheers mate and best of luck to yah!!!!! my door is always open for you to go crash if your in the area and want to go roped climbing!

word. topropin chains is bad form...and wears them out quicker for the next guy; which in fact may be YOU!!!!!!!!!

the bodhistava has spoken.

its fuking on!!!!!!!! give me a buzz.

anyone know any details?

thats like saying that masturbation is practice for sex. exactly right, both forms really don't satisfy the inner fire.

bouldering is practice for "real climbing."
