  1. I heard there was a bee's nest on it. Is this true? Anyone done it in past years?

    Aid Climbing 101

    The yates aid ladders are the best in my opinion. They are very easy to step up in. Also the plastic handle makes getting higher up in them quicker.
  3. Split Beaver can be done with 1 #4 camalot. Most of it isn't wide at all.
  4. Why the hell do peckers cost so much now? B.D. raised the price this year to $15.95! To add to that I haven't been able to find Hurricane Beaks lately. That means all we have are overprised peckers and auks(pika, pretty good).
  5. Daryl, So how dry does Arch Enemy stay? Always wanted to try it. Looks pretty spicy because of the expando! IS that flake all nailing? Or can I get some cam hooks into it?
  6. Anyone with the mag wanna scan me the article with cedar wright in it? Or at least that topo of Sentinal? I'd really appriciate it if you could do this for me.
  7. I'm not really into sharing a bunch(kinda bragging). Me and a few guys are planning on doing the Badge in April. I'm planning on doing the other routes I've asked about this spring and summer. I'm only 16 and depend on my parents driving me up to Index or Squamish, so it is kinda hard to climb when I want to. I'll post some pics or maybe a bit of a T.R. Here is me at I know it is of an easy aid climb. But I normally forget my camera.
  8. I'm looking for any info on the regular A3+ route going up the Badge in Squamish. Any info on the route or rack would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. Jake
  9. My buddy, the one up there on sunday, said that he beaked into one or two of the deadheads.
  10. Where is it this year? When's it in effect? Please help! Jake
  11. I thought it was for lower town too. I guess I got that from erics post. Just don't let anyone see.
  12. I should have read before posting! Scott that was one of the things I was interested in. Here are some routes that I'm wondering about; Snow White, A3 part of Frog Pond, Golden Arch, and Abaraxas? Anyone know about these?
  13. There are trees everywhere at Index. Make your anchor one of those.
  14. I'd really like to know what aid routes have gone clean at Index. I heard crazy jamie sent artifice clean. So what other ones have been sent clean? I heard Golden Arch went clean?
  15. Well he said it had "incredibly technical climbing". If you look at some other lines of his you will understand that the climb is harder than other A4s around it. His other A4 wall route requires 40+ heads(mostly #0's and 1's)! I was more just telling people where the route is, since no one knew when I asked the question.
  16. I got an email from andrew and he said that the route starts on Java Jive and has techincal climbing on it. So Dru was right about the area which it was in.
  17. 20 under today! Not near as good as a couple months ago. But still better than all of you. Does anyone else scream at their computer when you miss a putt? Also one of the holes in the back 9 has an error. The ball goes out of the thing into the background. It has screwed me several times. Damn game!
  18. Burp, For some reason I think you are quite dumb. Or maybe thats just the beer talken.
  19. 17 under isn't that good! I played that game a few months ago(exact same one). The lowest I've ever gotton was 23 or 24 out of 48. That is like 24 or 25 under. Try and do that!
  20. Too bad. It's really sad it happened to someone so young. I feel for the family.
  21. I'm wondering if any of you guys have done the A3+ aid pitch on this climb? Any nailing? Is it a good climb?
  22. Just don't fall and everything is ok. Index is a choss pile! Let us choss lovers have it to ourselves.
  23. At least it is a free piton. I bet if you sold it, you could get some new gear. I sure as hell don't mind some free gear.
  24. What Dean P. did on the Half Dome and El Cap is pretty impresive. I think it should have got the trad award. As for Beth, Country Boy is mostly a face type style climb. And there is some fixed gear in it. And how is pinkpointing really trad? That turns it into a clip up. So Dean should have got the trad and someone else for the big wall. The rookie award was pretty sweet. The runner up for the rookie award, Russ M., had a pretty impresive accomplishment also.
  25. Doesn't matter. I'm just interested in knowing what our state has to offer in this form of climbing.
