Not only that: On January 31, after 20 days of projecting and a mere week before leaving for a six-week trip to Europe, Adam Stack made the third ascent of Tommy Caldwell's Kryptonite at the Fortress of Solitude near Rifle, Colorado. Originally graded 5.14d by Caldwell, Kryptonite's grade came under scrutiny after François Legrand's aggressive cleaning produced a hold that second ascentionist Yuji Hirayama said makes the route 5.14c. Stack, however, chose to avoid the manufactured hold, calling his redpoint method "Kryptonite au naturel" and confirmed the 5.14d grade. Oh my Gawd!

Climb more. Eric Horst suggests that the bulk of training climbs should be a couple grades below your max to teach your body to move more fluidly over the rock. Also you can substitute endurance by climbing more efficiently, using the minimal amount of effort on each move.

That explains alot.

Hey! My post yesterday on Dru being a little "quick on the draw" also was deleted! I guess this means that Dru also probably wear lots of polyester and plucks his eyebrows. Beware!!!!!!!!

Hopkins lives in Santa Barbara. Wolfe.....Wolfe, on the other hand, is a regular contributor to this bulletin board and goes by the pseudonym Cacao de Amor, or something like that. Fudge Packer?

Much like cc.com. Except the bit about potential.

I guess this includes the 18 minutes of foreplay.

I'll second that. I bought a pair in Seattle at Outdoor Emporium for $32. Light and cheap. And kinda breathable.

I boulder, I gym climb, I clip bolts, I climb trad at the crags, I peak bag on scramble routes, I climb alpine routes, I slog glaciers, and I try to climb ice. But I don't give a shit what you think cause I'm doing it for my own entertainment and enjoyment. Have fun.

Can't argue with that....

I. screw ewe. I think it's a come-on.

Marmot Precip. Any real complaints about this jacket?

I have a similar windshirt from Montane that I take on every trip. The material is water resistant, not waterproof, so it sheds off mist and light rain and snow, but you'll probably get soaked in a downpour. I wear it over a base layer while moving in cold weather, and will layer fleece insulation under it in when moving slowly. I still carry a light waterproof, breathable jacket in my pack, but only use it in the rain. Works for me.

That's nice.

New this week at TROLLER.COM: Glue on bolt hangers. Breaking strength 0.1 kN. Comes with fake stud so it looks like it is a drilled bolt. Glue these babies on the rock, throw your chalk bag at a few random spots, BINGO instant sporto trap! watch em crux, and go to grab the draw...pop! pop! pop! just like Pringles! Don't forget the colored tape marking the holds!

barrier - n. a thing that prevents passage or approach. (Webster's New World Dictionary). So a vapor barrier prevents passage of vapor. Like the garbage bag (hefty-esque). I understand the concepts. I'm personally a big fan of windshirts over baselayers for travel in most conditions. But the windshirt isn't a barrier to vapor transport. It does slow down transport, but it is not a barrier.

Well, Twight says fun isn't necessarily fun. A vapor barrier liner should be a liner that is a barrier to vapor. Barrier as in impermeable. The point of the barrier is to keep the outer insulation dry from sweat. Polypro? Yuck. Wool Rocks!

Ummm.... This doesn't make any sense. A Vapor Barrier Liner should not be breathable. What's up with that?

The bright side is that you'll have more time to spray on cc.com!
