Bug

I just look at my pictures and wish I was still there.

Yes. I was thinking of the cord I used to have on my stitch plate that just keeps the plate close so you can always reach it. I have not ever used a Leash for clipping and unclipping. It seems like it would be in the way all the time.

I always have. Well, not always. hat time it ended up too far away for mr to reach it. It was a bummer. Now I use a reverso and clip it into my parabiner.

You ARE home.

My condolences. Words do not convey.....

I'm really glad she is OK. I suspect there have been some details left out. Tis the season.

Nice pics. Good call on bailing. The Colchuck can be a very fast ride down. Thanks for posting!

Hello?! Mom are you home?

I was just up there a week ago and bivied. I also free-soloed it 13 years ago in about 9hrs. You guys were blazing. It's big and we can't all be Peter Croft.

Good time! Way to cruise it.

Sometimes, the bivy IS the objective.

Glad to hear it. I'll bet she has a good story.

Group hug. Wankers.

I'm up for lots of 8s. Maybe a few 9s too. I'll be the guy in the poly pro shorts and XXXL Alpine Bod harness made out of tractor strapping. Can we use your rope?

Skip, Bob, Florence, Japanese woman with one leg.... get a f...n job.

OK, so I'm guessing I'll be drinking alone again?

Stick with the poly-pro an shorts. It's you.

And it could be argued that it wasn't a chondrite until it was a meteorite. Its composition was unchanged in either form. And also while it was a meteoroid. STFU NERDS GPA = IQ

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! Milosh, that guy has been trying to steal my rack for years.

My concern would be that the mass would be too small to put enough force on the rope to enable it absorb the force by stretching. Might it be like falling on a static line if the climber is too light?

To answer that question, the spray magnet one, most people (imo) just take ice tools and no alpine ax if they are going to need both on steeps. For something like Liberty Ridge where it can get steep but not real steep, an alpine ax and one ice tool. I used a Forrest hammer with an ice pick on it and only used it getting on the liberty cap serac and up the Liberty Cap snowfield. Feel better?

None of that spray was flaming you. Stop whining.

GULP!

Do they drink much beer?
