That looks like a pretty nice line :tup:

Why don't you just go climb them and tell us about them :tup:

Wouldn't that be with? Toot is what you do lines with off of a hookers ass.

Hey MtnManMatt, Do you have any better photos to show how you attached those spurs? Not that I'd be using them a lot right now, but it would nice to know how to do it. Cheers

Wow! I would have thought last weekend would have been busier, but this past weekend was the shizzle :tup: Nice route

Nice job. There's a lot of potential up there :tup:

There is a lot of stuff up there and I suspect some exploring would discover a hidden cirque or two with some real gems in them. Of course, it all depends on how cold it's been. :tup:

Man, you should have stayed there and gone with us on Sunday. Anyway, whatcha up to next weekend

Nice, that's a classic looking line :tup: Gotta love belay caves

Schweet :tup: Those all look great. I wonder how many years it will be before they come back it That's WA for ya. :tup:

Gotta love the Rockies, North and South :tup:

Here's my take on thing: Alex was running late....we were supposed to leave the house at 5:00 not 5:30. So, sensing my irratation Alex decided to throw a few more curveballs in the day by "trying out some new crampons", which one by pure conincidence was missing a toe bail. This was all a plot to test my level-headedness, but I vowed not to give in. With a non-functional crampon, now he has to grovel to borrow my new crampons so he can send his FA's On the hike in, he takes off ahead while I'm snapping photos and subsequently I take two wrong turns near the creek and lose the trail. A few loud whistles from me later, and I hear Alex hollering a few hundreds yards down stream. I finally catch up to him. Alex proceeds to lead a nice route called "The Ten Essentials", which I TR, and then gives me the sharp end to lead an ice chimney. Next we swing over to the unclimbed line "Dial 'M' for Mounties" and Alex decides to borrow my rock gear too. The nerve of this guy. He leads it in fine style and I do a lap on TR. By this time my frustration was beginning to get the better of me, so I decided to leave his slings in situ as payment Next we walk up stream a bit to another nice pillar, and Alex convinces me to lead it. While climbing I decided, "screw this guy I'm gonna start dropping gear on him." I drop an ice screw, this misses him, I try a tool as well, failure. My scheme isn't working, so I lower off to see if I can enact my revenge from the belayer end of the rope. By this time Alex is keen to my intentions, so he leads up past the middle of the rope so I will have to second the pitch. Since we only have one pair of crampons between us he proceeds to convince me to "catch" my crampons from 40m above. As the first pair comes flying down I think to myself, "Those are going to hit me right in the hea........". Swish, a branch catches the pon and Alex breaks into an insidous laughter. For the next 20 minutes, he proceeds to throw chunks of ice at me as revenge for trying to harpoon him with my tool. Fortunately, I am able to move around enough to where one chunk hits the branch containing my pon and it nearly impales me as it comes crashing down. By this time, we both had beaten each other up pretty bad, so we called it a day. Lots of fun :tup:

Right ON!! :tup: Keep the stokey coming. Loving it

That's a fine line :tup: It was one of those weekends

That's spectacular :tup:

I think it's a man's eyes you are trying to refer to. Usually the women get coated with something entirely different.

There is no ice in the hills there, these are not the climbs you are looking for.

I think Rob is talking about a climb at Banks Lake, called Agent Orange. The one that leearden is talking about is Clockwork Orange. Clockwork Orange is located up the hill from the Sun Lakes State Park, just south of the Dry Fall Visitor Center. I haven't seen that touch down yet this year, but it would be cool if it did. Not sure about the last week, but I think it's been pretty warm over there. Nice day out on some ice none the less though Rob :tup:

Saw you on Evening Magazine Erden :tup: Is John Curly that much of a dork in real life ??

Wurd :tup:

Oh, and I forgot to mention that they make me look good on the rock, too. Except for CBS, he's to hardcore for me

Why? He doesn't use email or a computer. Probably because he thinks they are more evil than he is.

When praticing for self-arrest, I have always included sessions with and without an ice-ax. It's allows good to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Gotta love the boy scouts :tup:

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face when he's holding a pair of ice tool

No, I mostly have hung out at Madison's/Skylark. Mainly because the owner is a friend of a friend, and I've gigged there a few times, too.
