Geogratis is the ticket. Thanks for the reply. I wish we had something like that for the states (we don't do we?).

Anybody know a good shop to buy topo maps in Vancouver, BC? Need a pretty obscure quad, so a well-stocked shop is a must. -Nate

I don't need bolts... I would settle for people not booty-ing pins and stoppers from the rap stations.

Still tons of terrain up there to be climbed. As for descent anchors, the two bolt anchor works well for your routes but it is pretty/really hard to reach those bolts from either skylight. We have a pretty good anchor (could be better) just above March Madness. If an anchor could be established from each skylight, it would be just two rapells back to the base.

Where are your lines in relation to the ones I put there?

I pulled this picture off of this site a few months ago. It's obviously not the best shot of the face but it might be the ball rolling. I'm not sure where your route went Wayne. The blue line is what Colin and I did in December it finishes in the right skylight (with the bolt). My understanding was that your line finished in the same spot (hence the bolt) but started further left. So I penciled in the yellow line but its just a guess. The red line is the route that Dan, Colin and myself climbed. It finishes in the left skylight. I know that at least a few other PDX climbers have been out on the face within recent years. Anybody have some lines to contribute? The wall has so many different possible routes depending on conditions and how hard you want to push it. We need a better descent route though!

Ya its worth it... just ante up for one. I also use the OR version. The BD only has six slots, but if your using mainly shorter screws you can oppose the ends and you should be just fine.

It's completely white.

I had four packs of sharkies and half a german chocolate cake cookie.

Don't know if you can still find these but I have a couple pairs of La Sportiva sandles that are similar to Chacos. I got them for $20 and they've been awesome.

I believe Wayne Wallace's web page had a Black Spider topo on it. You probably won't get a lot of information due to how ephermal and seldom climbed these routes are. Also because it tends to take a lot of work to find the Spider in condition I doubt many people will want to give up their hard earned info.

Start mixed climbing it will make ice feel easy. The falls are a lot safer too (use your judgement though).

Really Bill? You had to go there. And isn't it country hand jive jubilee?

Wow... that's like getting lost in the parking lot at T-line.

There was an old PDX bouldering guide. I think the PRG carried it, I'm fairly certain its not there now. Maybe you can find it online?

Black Diamond Fusions $200 Still in good shape. Just normal wear and tear on the shafts. The picks have tons of life left in them. I still have the wrenches and spacers. La Sportiva Trango S 43.5/44 $50 I can't remember if these are size 43.5 or 44. Regardless I wear 44s across the board and these fit. They are the earlier model, not the GTX. The soles are in good shape so they should have a couple good seasons left. Black Diamond Speed 40 Pack M/L $50 This pack is essential brand new. I think I've used it on maybe two climbs. Local pickup (PDX) or shipping. Paypal works for me.

I climbed six weeks to the day after I broke my clavicle.

J'Berg is fully roadside... so pretty much a walk in the park?

Liberty Crack Free?

How much?

Are you kidding me? I can guarantee that there are many elite athletes working out this way and pushing themselves to the limit and even puking...maybe not at theie time trial, but in their preparation for sure. So you're saying that an olympic athlete is not going all out in a close race and is holding something back? Maybe, who knows what goes on in someone's head. Although I'd think most folks at that level of competition are going all-out in a way that none of us could even imagine, 100%+. At the end of hard race, these guys aren't puking or rolling around the ground. You'll see cyclist a immediately get on the trainer and spin out, a runner does light jogging etc. It is possible to work really f**ing hard and still be able to cool down properly. Of course nobody at X-fit really cares, it is hard to brag on your WOD blog about a cool down.. Sounds much better to talk about puking or passing out. If I had to guess, the olympian doesn't curl and hurl after the 400m because he has trained beyond that... simply not possible to make him throw up after 50 sec. of effort. I would guess that applies to many elite athletes.

Would there be anything left?

That explains why I haven't became an uber-human yet... forgot to follow coach's WODs to the T.

A WOD with a rep scheme like that is usually done: example deadlift, pushup, pullup 25, 15, 9x in this order: deadlift 25x, pushup 25x, pullup 25x, deadlift 15x, pushup 15x, pullup 15x, deadlift 9x, pushup 9x, pullup 9x

Is there a question?
