carharts a fad? they are utilitarian. I have been wearing them for at least 10 years. I am sorry I made fun of schoeller. I know it is very shishy and all, but it just plain sucks.

one more time for old times sake?

carharts and a nylon jacket has done me well since i was 5... no reason to change now cause some yuppie fad is in swing.

I'll see what I can swing. I would be interested in going to squamish.

why not bolt it then? it'll do more damage smashing in a piton once a year (until the is a yellow TCU) than putting in a bolt. I would say that if it keeps getting yanked out, either do without or put something permanent in.

Yeah that is what I figured. That is cool though. As for rain, I have live in Washington for long enough that I dont think it'll be an issue. I am just stoked for all the killer fishing! Thanks for the confirmation.

tru-nuff

And I am sure it pales in comparion to the gallons that were dumped during the mining days. Seriously though, is there any practical way to reduce the lead contamination in a place like that? It seems unlikely and expensive.

I am moving there in a few months. Any good climbing... I thought so... I know the fishing is great... Just hoping the climbing will kick ass too... wishfull thinking?

you can get the orbits to last an hour or more... BIG POINTS!

182250 somebody want to tell me why i play all these stupid games? I got that on one level!

when are you guys gonna realize that schoeller is a piece of shit? all of you are complaining about it pilling and how it loses its water repellancy... tell ya what. I would rather have some cheap-ass gart sport's nylon get-up (which is what i currently use) than your wanna be dirtbaggin' yuppie ass clown suits. But "I am hard-core I promise!" "I drank Cobra in camp 4!!!"

fahqin eh!

spray came up as buttery chicken...

oh my god!

WTF?!?!?

Yeah, there was some shit that sloughed off of the cheif, but nothing huge. If it hit you, you would have to be unlucky as hell and likely wouldn't hae made the drive over. fer real, that was some of he funnest climbing i have done in a while! Jump awn it!

We were gonna do the whole squamish buttress, but after seeing how wet and cold it was on calculus crask, we bailed on the ledges. It was pretty desperate in a few places. Especially on the slabs on the top which completely covvered with running water. I imagine it was all frozen solid when we started up as it was cold that night! Fun as hell though.

Squamish was a blast! Hit up some classics and some longish routes. -1C didn't stop us this morning, but when the feet and hands went numb, the going got a little tricky. Damn fun never-the-less. Who's with me to go again? I will pull some pics of exasperator off my DV cam later.

or give me $10 and i'll bring it down to you. (y)

Paul. It really depends. Did you have instant discoloration? or did it come later? If you got frost bite, it could be quasi-permantent, but frost-nip cn do the same thing and will go away. Just be uber-careful man cause you are extremely succeptable now. Have you gotten it checked out? Don't wanna permanently screw that up. Losing a toe would suck, but then again it didn't stop messner.

Back in my day, we called that constructive criticism.

helps beat the clumps out.

thanks... we'll check it out.
