Hey S@#ttalker. Would you please deliver me a topo of McClellan like you said you would. jandslindATPeoplepc.com Take care
-
I think so. I've been in the EXP for this ice season and I love them. It's not like they get replaced every year.
-
It's not hard. Consider joining the Spokane Mountaineers. NYC007 is a member, he can give you all sorts of beta.
-
The picks on the Monsters are replaceable and there have been rumblings about making a thinner water ice pick for these tools as well.

So, I am at the local gym the other night and it is kids climbing team practice. Little fockers were everywhere. Point being, I noticed a group of youngsters probably half a dozen ages 8-12, over by the campus board. Their coach was helping them campus and encouraging them to campus on their own. WTF. This doesn't seem like a good idea. Any thoughts on it?

The notion that you must live in Spokane to give a damn about what goes on seems rather odd. For all we know Dane's ego could be what our solar system revolve's around. Does it matter? I believe that the issues are what matters. Bolting holds on the rock so that someone without the skills or strength can do the move seems as preposterous to me as paving the Snow Creek trail into the enchantments so that everyone can enjoy the wilderness. As far as ego's go. IMO there is nothing wrong with an ego. It seems that it occasionally takes somebody with one to get stuff done. This may burst many of your bubbles but climbing is a very Macho sport and egotistical climbers are not an exception. I have worked in the gear industry for awhile and have spoken with many self proclaimed hard men/women. Rumr, are you suggesting that Dane wants to be nominated Grand Czar of climbing? Maybe Dane wants to take over the world and control the rate at which we revolve around his ego? It doesn't matter really. What matters are the issues of bolting holds onto climbs that are future testpieces and bolting easily protected cracks. Is establishing an ethic for an area a bad thing? Is recognizing that an ethic HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED IN AN AREA wrong? I have not yet seen this Rock and Ice ad. Maybe it was a little over the top. Maybe the quote was dumb. Who cares? Do You?

I have been climbing on mammut ropes for awhile. I dig them. Triodess is currently a black marking on the rope and not a braid change. My triodess has been holding up fine. As far as impact force goes, I would take a look at the numbers for yourself. I was comparing an infinity 9.5 to a Beal the other day and the mammut had lower kn's. However, as far as BW goes. I have owned two different BW ropes and the damn things were so kinky from factory to retirement that they wouldn't have been suitable for a rope mat.

I have a pair of the Raichle 90 degree EXP. They are comfortable and seem to fit me well. They climb water ice great. I would say that they are similar to sportiva Nepal in overall beef, but they have a slightly softer upper than the Nepals so they offer a little more dexterity. I was also impressed with their walking comfort. I did the DC with them in August and they walked great. AS far as the 90 Degree GTX goes. I have worn them and they climb Vert ice ok. If you were looking for a boot strictly for vertical water ice then I would consider some other options. However, they are an excellent choice for general mountaineering and for steep alpine ice. Comparable to Sportiva Lhotse's or the old Technica Altitude plus.
-
I have been using a pair. Very supportive, aka not sensitive. Would be a good alpine shoe. Seems to be lasted more like their approach shoes than a rock shoe. Edges ok, very comfy. No good on overhanging terrain. Pretty nice in hand/fist sized cracks.

These are the women's model size 7, 38, UK 4.5. They are in good/practically new condition. My wife wore them on a 2 mile hike and decided they were not for her. I want $50 for them plus $3 dollars postage.

Hmmm, let's say I go climbing at way honed area with my new Raveltek tools and I break a pick. How many stores do you think I will have to go to in order to acquire a spare pick for my off brand tools while on my roadtrip. They are cheaper and they do climb similar to Quarks. I suggest that if you choose to purchase them you stock up on accessories so you have stuff when your local shop decides to drop the line.

Seeing how I started climbing in the early nineties that would be how I screwed it up. I follow dihedral up to where it narrows and cruise right onto the top of Razor's edge. Thanks for the info. It is a great way to finish the dihedral.
-
Who wants to climb today in Spokane or Post Falls. I'll be going tomorrow, thursday, as well. Trad or Sport. PM me.
-
Don Q, Dihedral with Step Left of Boston finish.
-
I'd have to agree. Free Friends is probably the best one. However, as far as link ups go. A good moderate way to get to the top would be E Face Direct to the South prow, then cross over to Fun roof on the big ledge for your finish. Mix up the scenery a bit and never get too hard. Dane, Maybe when you come over for Fulton's reception you can make your trip to the 'Kirks for the summer.
