  1. I'm proud to say, I have never removed any of the fixed pins or webbing on them. I've always just left the webbing on the pins on Iron Horse. I have taken all the bail biners I can get off of routes though. I saw a nut and a biner up on Narrow Arrow Direct a while a go. I should have gone up and got it. Did any of you? Booty

    bugs

    I had one of those head nets in Alaska for fishing. I think my hands got a lot of bites on them. Last week, I was up in some alpine lake fishing. I have quite a few bites on my legs. At least I'm not dead yet. The news said it would be smart to remove all standing water from your yard to get rid of mosquitos. Damn! I live on a lake.
  3. http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?m=8354#msg8361 Look at bringme beers reply.
  4. A long .10 route might not be to easy on you. But then again, I just suck.

    rain are suck

    Had Index to myself yesterday. It rained pretty hard at times but I didn't get wet at all. I love steep routes.
  7. Thanks for the info. I was wondering when it was going to get closed.
  8. Sucks to be them. Sure glad Index doesn't have problems with fire!
  9. I know Marmot carries some of their stuff. I'm not sure if they have the shield harness. I know I've seen it there but I didn't look the other day I was in there. Just give them a call.
  10. I don't know how he leads such hard aid like that! I heard he dropped one down in zion. Sure would suck to do that on a solo.
  11. Russ sells killer gear but sometimes it takes a while to get. My ledge took 8 months to get! But it is way nicer than that BD piece of crap that was broken the second I got it. Russ makes a bunch of other good stuff too.
  12. I bent the head of my yellow alien a bit the other day in a daisy chain fall. It still works fine. Not sure if it would be my first choice for free climbing though.
  13. I haven't tried zeros but my guess is they are pretty dang awesome. Otherwise aliens are all I use for small cams. I have 12 of the things and place them all over. I also have 2 sets of tcus. They are excellent and I have no complaints but aliens just seem to be superior.
  14. I bet there aren't any walls like index around there!
  15. Orifice is hard for the Squamish! All three of the climbs on that cliff are hard for squamish grades.
  16. 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.
  18. Split Beaver can be done with 1 #4 camalot. Most of it isn't wide at all.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. My buddy, the one up there on sunday, said that he beaked into one or two of the deadheads.
  24. Where is it this year? When's it in effect? Please help! Jake
  25. I thought it was for lower town too. I guess I got that from erics post. Just don't let anyone see.
