That's a pretty vicious looking fish.

Jeff Lowe has instructional videos on Alpine Ice and Waterfall Ice. Watching the guy swing a tool is very illuminating.

How about these boots (Lowa Stuktura GTX)? They are about my size.

How fat is phat for a fat boy (200 lbs)?Sphinx said:Fat modern skis, big boots, bindings. Buy cheap skis, you'll really thrash them while learning. Get a ski with a waist 70mm or bigger.

It's either AT or ice climbing ... .lummox said:'youre entering a world of pain.'

What's the best AT gear for a beginner? Never downhill skiied before.

According to a post on Bivouac.com, the climber named it Chinamans Peak.fern said:perhaps a better question is: given the peak was originally named Ha Ling Peak after the first ascentionist (a dude named Ha Ling), why did people instead choose to call it 'Chinaman's Peak' for almost a century?

My favorite:
33. Lower-back tattooes. Lately, it seems that if there's no faux-Celtic design between your low-rise jeans and your baby tee, something's missing. Recently, we've been seeing girls with their names in thug font in that place. Must save a lot of awkwardness.

It's too bad some people feel the need to chuck summit registers.you could nearly always count on getting a history lesson out of the summit register -
"Unfortunately, some route names were better left abbrevaited due to their possibly offensive nature. The complete route names can be found in the first ascent information for those of you who are interested. Abbreviated names are denoted with the symbol 8< after the shortened route name. For example: Tammy Fay's D8<."mattp said:I don't know what Marline and Jim did in the new guide -- are these route names in there?Too bad Tammy Fay (the climb) is gone.
Why was Chinamans Peak in Canada renamed Ha Ling Peak?

Until climbers fall off, then they call the government to DO SOMETHING.erik said:less government involvement. this is a private activity, not one for the government to install ideals and rules into.

The ellipsis should also have spaces preceding and following.Necronomicon said:And it's no accident that it will be people like me that will lead humanity to the stars....and beyond.Notice the tension I carefully built with only four simple punctuation marks. Also notice how I refered to them as "punctuation marks", rather than the utilize the barbarian "period" synonym.
Are you are some kind of teacher?

Who will be the first to mount one on the back of his truck?

In another thread, avatars are railing against Beck for chatting with political types. The only way to maintain the climbing corner of public space is to keep an open channel for dialog with such folks.
Erik constantly bitching about the trail park program whenever rangers post on this site isn't the answer.

(Crackbolter's post seemed to have disappeared.)Alex said:mattp said:Bolted cracks are generally a bad thing and we need to make much more of an issue of this; we should try to correct the situation by, perhaps, removing bolts next to cracks at any "trad" climbing area (there may be exceptions); It may be OK to have a few bolted cracks in a sport climbing area.
What is the Icicle considered, then? My party climbed several routes in the Icicle this past weekend that were an absolute tragedy, with closely spaced bolts protecting what would be very reasonalbe trad or mixed routes.
Case in point, the 5.8 route at Stone's Throw. The 5.9 would go on gear too, or at least mixed after the first two bolts.
Why should there be any bolted, protectable cracks?

The adults are trying to have a discussion here. You two please run outside and play.cracked said:Dwayner sez:It seems that you were in need of a little history lesson plus some exposure to a perspective with which you might not have been familiar.
Yup, I certainly haven't been exposed to your perspective! You need to be more outspoken, Dwayner.
Dwayner sez:Your words, not mine. That kind of attitude won't take you far but I assume you are just joking.
Too many people have that attitude, apparently including your buddy Dope, uh, Pope.
Dwayner also sez:Good luck, dude!
With what?.....dude.

I'm waiting to buy a matching white schoeller jacket to go over a black polypro shirt and complete the ice cream suit look.iain said:I'm telling you, schoeller has been around since saturday night fever, travolta's pants are fine alpine threads

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh,

Ohhh, gosh. I took the term "the new Fred" to mean that the guy is a dork.
Think shorts over polypro.

True. The GoLite is rated only for up to 30 lbs. And by the looks, it probably wouldn't reliably carry twice that comfortably.Ade said:I'd been told that the Gust has the same problem as the Andinista. Namely that if you filled it then it would be too heavy to carry with any comfort. Don't GoLite say it's really only good for 30lbs or so (if not then I read this in a review elsewhere).
But if your load is only 30 lbs, why carry it in a 4-6 lb pack? The difference is about 10% of the weight on your back, or 1-2 days more food.
