I was thinking Banks for rock or L'worth for ice. Maybe even something short up on Snoqualmie. I am interested in anything but skiing for now.

Looking for partner for these two days. Alpine, Rock, or Ice. I live in eastern Wa and am willing to drive to the west side.

It's good to have an opinion scotty. I don't always agree but, I would like to know how you got Greg W to pose for that photo! You guys must be good buds outside this bulletin board. PS Sweet TR Mitch. [ 09-19-2002, 12:23 PM: Message edited by: pu ]

I agree with you Greg W. I am full of shit and it is stuck all over that sweet angry inch of yours.

Unlike many products in the climbing world these new Grivel leashes didn't just go straight from the drawing boards to the production line. El Presidente of Grivel NA himself designed them and has been using them for the last 3 or 4 years. I have seen them in action. I would say that they are even easier to use than the old BD Twists yet far more secure on Vert.

Word up tbrent. You don't have to be a weekend employee for NASA to figure out if a leash design is going to work or not. Maybe just a little ice experience would help. Key points being ease of application and removal without body parts assisting, ie mouth. No unexpected detachment from climber,Like unclipping or loosening. The new grivel leash kicks @##.

I have owned the anasazi mocasym, anasazi velcro, and the anasazi lace. The mocasym will stretch one half size but it has a leather upper. With the velcro and lace you would be fortunate to experience a quarter size of stretch. I would size the velcro one half size smaller than the lace. These are not comfortable shoes but they do perform well. As per comparing them to sportiva miura's and mythos....5.10's performance shoes have a completely different fit. They pull all of your toes towards the inside edge, "asym toe design". For me I sized down 2.5 for velcro and 2 for lace.

The complete ridge would be nice due to lots of easy 5th terrain and a nice approach option from leavenworth. I must say that I am not horribly attached to the idea....I just want to go. Don't necessarily have to do the NR either. Could be something else maybe. Oh yeah, North Idaho, Not the sawtooths.

Looking for a partner to do the complete NR of Stuart via one of the lower variations around 8-30, 31 and or 9-1, 2. I would also be interested in doing the direct east butt of S early winters, or any equivalent.
