I find getting Dynafits on in deep powder is difficult. Having brake to fumble with as well would just be that much more of a pain. Just think of how many times you would get the "second" line down. Bummer dude.

I want to video my girls and other events and use it as a good quality still camera. The Stills are actually more important to me than the video. 6+ megapixel, 3x + optical zoom. Everything I see out there so far focuses on the video and does still as a secondary function.

GM is fun. The 10A pitch at the end (3rd pitch)is probably the easiest 10A crack at index. Or do the 5.9 pitch through the left squeeze, a few face moves, and traverse back right to the top of the crack.

Fig 8's were used as belay devices for a short time. At least, it should have been a short time. We stuck the belay loop (bite) through the small hole and clipped to the rope just like a stitch plate, sort of.

...and Index 9's. That will get you honed fast.

I just carry an extra 20. But that's down from 25 so I'm buying more gear for winter.

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.

Gay? Oh, never mind. http://www.bdel.com/gear/camalots.php I'll have to go home and double check this. Mine IS purple. Is it the older purple #4 one or is it a new purple #5? Anyone know if this is possible offhand?

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?
