  1. Omega screws suck anyways - not taper and impossible to clean. You CAN however put them on old BD screws with a little effort. I hammered them on and used an "epoxy weld paste" smeared around the bottoms. Three seasons and still on :tup: Partners might give you some good looks though . . .

     

    ClimbOn in Squamish had em last time I checked.

  2. I would be against openning the road. This summer we mt biked up to fluffy kitten wall to the wonderful thing about tiggers, it was probably the nicest climb I've ever done, really fun! One of the greatest things about it was that there was no one else around! It was a nice change to the zoo of other crags closer to the road (not that it's unexpected). Gertlush is right, such a fast & fun ride back.

    No one goes there anyway, regardless of the road :snugtop:

  3. conjunction junction what's your function?

     

    damn it all mikey i was trying really hard to not get that stuck in my head. My shrink will be billing you :cry:

     

    I acutally have that video :rawk:

     

    Dru, that photo is a mixture of consumate Vees and suspiciously equalized Ys.

  4. Jim Carr: This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.

  5. I read that artcile and also thought that bit about "climbers who persist in climbing" Slesse to be a bit much. Jesus, If my eartly remins were in that cirque, man, I'd want some company. See some ccol kids goin for the FFA of the East Face . . .

     

    Darin that's a nice bit . . . yours? You should send that to Alpinist. Tres cool :tup:

  6. Climbers sometimes carry mountain locator units, which send signals about their whereabouts to rescuers. But search officials said they do not believe the men had such a unit with them on their climb.

     

    “We still get plenty of climbers who don’t equip themselves with them,” Hughes said. “It’s not the smart thing to do.”

     

    Ummm, okay . . .?

     

     

  7. :lmao:

    McGrath: Reg, Reg, that reminds me. I was coachin' in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible masturbator. He would get deliberate penalties so he could get over in the penalty box all by himself and damned if he wouldn't...

     

    Jim Carr: And from Mile 40, Saskatchewan, where he now runs a donut shop, number 10, former penalty-minute record holder for the years 1960 to 1968 inclusive, Gilmore Tuttle.

  8. I carry multiple pairs of light fleece and/or softshell gloves for climbing and a pair of mitts for belaying.

     

    I was looking at MEC's Dr. Sno glove ($45) today, and thought they would be good for ice. Snug fit with good dexterity.

     

    The Dr. Sno gloves are good and have a nice leather palm, but my favourite has to be the Cloudveil IceFloe - the only problem is there is no membrane and you can get pretty wet.

     

    New BD Punisher looks like it may have solved that problem - anybody tried it out yet?

  9. i've owned the Predator since May and have put over 100 days on it. I LOVE THIS PACK! I have used it for mountain slogs, overnight trips, ice, alpine rock, etc. It is the best pack I've ever owned.

     

    I really wanted this pack to work to replace an old venerable Lowe Alpine Attack 40, but I found the predator totally restricted my head movement. Is the frame removeable? I couldn't find a way to rip it out and I was getting sketchy looks from the cooperative staff :ooo:
