What are you Greg some kinda fruity hippy dweeb?!!! No, I just remember my dad making a few of those when I was little (late '70's).

No offense meant, but once you are put in an even marginally frightening situation, you'll change your tune. Summit or the death thoughts are great when you are sitting on your couch at home, but fox hole religion takes over when it all hits the fan. Plus, I don't want to be hiking along and accidentally put my boot through your decaying torso.

From what I read (might have been John Long), a group of three could move faster because while the second is cleaning, the third jugs another line and is ready to lead as soon as he gets to the belay so belay changeover time is minimal. The downside is that I think you have to carry almost two racks to make it worthwhile.

Von Spanker: quote:Originally posted by thelawgod: I know we's all thinking the same thing here, let me be the first to say it: Thelawgoddess: Fucking calm yo ass down!! It's great that you want to take up ice climbing this season--I'm happy for you, but as you've said right here on this board, your total experience is climbing some POS grey low angle ice (aka O-rock)--a whole 400 freaking feet--and doing some ice bouldering. Oh yeah, and that super easy, I-could-climb-it-with-my-eyes-closed, fake wall at Cascade Crags. That said, fucking stop acting like you know what the fuck you're talking about! Listen, you ain't no ice climber yet! You haven't even had a taste of real ice yet. As someone who's climbed ice for several seasons now, let me tell you, be prepared to shit yo fucking pants when you finally get onto something worthy of being refered to as an ice climb. It's scary, and, frankly, you might even find that it's not for you. And look, fucking forget about free soloing, solo TRing, drytooling, etc. Girlfriend, you're looking to get yer self killed. You are WAY over anxious about this whole ice thing. Look, here's my advice to you if you want to be an ice climber: 1. Calm yo ass down. 2. Quit acting like you know wtf you're talking about (and save some bandwidth for the rest of us) 3. Keep practicing with Col. Spanker et al--great exp. for when you actually do try to FOLLOW your first REAL ice climb. 4. Quite trying to be super ice woman--again, too cool that you're taking up this hobby, but ice climbing is not one of those things that you can safely jump into as fast as it appears you're trying to do. Take care o' yo self, and don't fucking get killed on us. All she did was ask where it was fuck face. Yeah, fuck... Yer messin' with the Colonel's woman!!!

quote: Originally posted by Peter Puget: Can I come too or is three a crowd. On a serious note, I've read that aid climbing in a group of three is very efficient. Anyone have experience with this? I can see the downside of not getting to lead as many cool pitches, so it wouldn't be that great of shorter climbs.

rbw - We'd better have a talk before we go aid climbing this fall... Greg

I carry a knife with me when climbing to cut old nasty rap slings, cut hunks of new webbing to leave as rap slings, etc.

I was surprised to find some of that in the Enchantments. I don't know how necessary it was as it was on fairly low-angle rock.

quote: Originally posted by Peter Puget: Greg - Are you telling me that if if we go aid climbing you will refuse to share my deluxe double wide portaledge? Nothing like company in a steamy doublewide to pass time! While you're hanging out No, we'll just have to have a chat beforehand. It'll go something like this: Greg: "You touch me in a gay way and I'll kill you." PeterP: "Ha, ha...Greg, that's a good one. What's for dinner?" Greg: "No, seriously, I'll gut you with my belay knife and make a macrame plant hanger with your intestines." PeterP: "Oh...okay. That's cool...how 'bout them Seahawks." And we climbed happily onward towards our goal. Greg W

Nothing more aggro than clipping shiny bolts in the "wilderness" Maybe if it was a rusty bolt with a Beckey aluminum hanger with ratty slings I'd be inspired.

Oh, the horror. I heard that was how you lost your virginity...

There's currently 69 guests...haha..huh, huh...get it? 69? ha...ha.. Okay, not any more but it sounded funny at the time (in that "wasted-at-3a.m.-fraternity-house" kinda way). Sorry... [ 11-12-2002, 09:32 AM: Message edited by: Greg W ]

Hit Peter's Stiftskeller (sp?) in the old part of town; supposedly the oldest bar/restaurant in Europe. There's another great restaurant right down from Mozart's house where part of the restaurant is over the street; small, intimate rooms for fine dining - don't remember the name (and I won't bother asking my ex-wife!! ). As far as climbing: climb the stone walls along the river or climb the outside of the fort on the hill above old town.

Preliminary investigation suggested that old collies did not like to be messed with when they ate. Further investigation two weeks later, following the scientific method, proved this hypothesis and added the second scar. Hence the reason you abandoned your dream of scientific research for a career in construction? Greg W

I've been down Bourbon Street - that's some freaky shit, and I didn't even go inside!!!

I thought that was the androgynous Dr. Flash Amazing
