The ballroom Time to spray about your summer so far.

Climb: Bugaboos-Many Routes Date of Climb: 7/19/2006 Trip Report: Post number one thousand? So, what should I do about that..... hmmmmmm. So, I got back last night and I'm still stiff from wrenching my back trying to pull the lugs nuts off the flat tire RocNoggin had while we were in Kimberley, BC on Friday night. Here is a sample of photos for you to drool over. We'll be telling the full story soon enough. Die Mannschaft Home for the last nine days Find the unrepeated traverse Me leading the 4th pitch of McTech Arete, luckily I had a few lessons that Davis-Holland taught me before I left. I did take one screamer though up high. Snowpatch, Pigeon, and the lower portion of the Kain Route on Bugaboo. Gear Notes: Double Cams, Stoppers, Slider Nutz, 10 Slings, Xtra biners, food for 10 days Approach Notes: Lame, Lame, Lame.

Nice pictures!

Skiing in July? That couldn't be fun Nice turns in those pics

I always thought of the difference in terms of generations. Traditional climbing is called such because it was the traditional form of climbing up until fixed anchors where invented. Sport climbing is that which ChucK described.

Thanks for the weather reports I'm planning on using them very soon.

Sounds like fun, in an alpine sort of way Way to fail

Good job!

Horses mouth says it could be two more years yet. Mountaineers are holding it up for whatever reason, and the horse is not happy.

Damn!! That's a tremendous line

I did, F*ck the hands, just stem the sucker to the jug.

Are you really tall? I think p3 is significantly harder than p2, but if you were tall (>6'3" or so?) you could probably reach the big edge above the crux. P3 is also harder to protect than p2. That makes sense to me and I'm 6'4".

Fred can pull 5.9, he just chooses not to.

Is that my picture of the N. Face you were going to get me? Nice TR, that place looks awesome. I'm glad I chose not to bushwack up to that lake with my friend over 4th of July weekend. He has a broken collar bone and would not have been pleased.

Did this on Saturday with a couple of buddies. Mec, ropegunned Rad and I up the 2nd and 3rd pitches and we rapped. It is definately some of the best climbing I have done in the state. Not that I've climbed much out of this state.

Dude, your so annoying. Why don't you go climb something for christ sake?

Hey guys, I was one of the ones there trying to trade you for shit-proof pants. This should be made sticky or something more permanent. Edited: Oh well, fine you already did it then

Seriously though, I have almost got into it with a former climbing partner (not climbing related). He went to Ouray and borrowed one of my ice tool and when he got back he had left a message one night saying he was going to sink the thing into my head the next time he saw me. I guess his daughter didn't help things.

I was out at 32 last night and there was this ropegun hangdoggin on this route. I was totally digusted and wanted to yell at him for hanging on the bolts on his project. What a flake

Now, if only the thing could answer the greatest question of all time...HOWZ DA WEDDER??

If you can meet me at Westlake Center at 4pm I can give you a ride there and back. Shoot me a PM if that works for you.

Love the pics

That's a great looking line.

It should be noted that you need two prussiks (one for each strand of rope your abseiling), otherwise you end up being a victim of similiar fate as "AlpinFox rappelling f-up victim #1". Good stuff here
