slap some balls on suzy

nobody has mentioned city of rocks? Or not out of washington but that limestone sport crag north of spokane... forgot the name its in smoot though

i have a hard time believing that tape was the reason why that party couldn't keep up with you. But maybe if you tell the same story in a couple more threads I'll believe you. And who tapes for royal flush, its a boulder probelm whats next taping for psycowussy because you can get a fist jam on it

i thought maybe it was chaps with his Belay gloves

sweet, late night drunken biking this could get interesting

its okay i like them that way

why do ducks have web feet? To stamp out flaming forest fires. Why do Elephants have round feet? To stamp out flaming Ducks.

where the fuck is that how about someplace on the ave so we can crawl home

No, I was just making a quick trip to poland to visit your sisters. Euro girls are dirty!!!

Gary and Dan I will drink with you guys on thursday

a regular poster, who we haven't seen for a couple weeks, got his radio stolen there and a few weeks ago

I have had trango extremes for 3 years now (so i think they have been redesigned??) and love them. Yet warmth and waterproofness can be issues. I have used them enough now that I know how my boots work and these aren't probelms if I'm paying attention. The primary reason I wear them and keep wearing them and can't wait for winter is they climb so well. Anyway my feet get cold if I put them into the boot cold, say if your car camping while ice climbing or in the mountains. I prevent this by sitting inside the cab first thing in the morning with the heater on or if thats not an option putting them inside my puffy while eating breakfast. They also get cold if I were them to tight. Sometimes I crank them really tight for a hard lead then untie the laces at the belay its like screamin barfies for your feet. As far as waterproofness as long as i keep the leather treated its not an issue. I have to do this very frequently though like very other trip or so. And once the leather gets a little wet your pretty much fawked so don't get any snow in your boots. I have scrapa alpha too and rarely wear them. They climb like shit compared to the extremes. And they aren't any warm part of this i think is because my liners are to small.

well for since I'm under 30 and actually enjoy sport climbing though I mostly climb trad all throw my 2 cents in even though I have only been to midnight once and didn't climb that route. How good are the actual bolts that are present? It seems to me that the quick easy keep everyone happy solution would be to add a long sling to the bolts as it appears there was in the 80's. However, the bolt is probably now 20 years old. I guess Erikn could speak to wether or not it needs to be replaced. If it does then placing a new one better position seems justified. I remeber talking to Jens about climbing at rattlesnake rock and he talked about climbing zweebes (sp?) the 12b to the right of rock n rattle. I remarked that it looked hard and scary with a bunch of rusty quarter inchers he than said that 8 or 10 years ago those bolts weren't rusty. It seems to me that you can't talk about doing the route in the style of the fa if the fixed gear has degenerated over time. but then again the exigisting bolt may be perfectly find so only knowing what i have read here and never having seen the route, (not a very good position) I would say if the bolt is old and manky replace it to a new improved location with something of the stainless steel variety. if its find then just add a sling to it for now.

yeah, nice work Jens I will second Waynes notion for a picture of the line

Just found out I have it off. Would like to climb Springboks on Les Contes Going climbing in about now, will get back monday night, pm if interested. ps. I don't have a car and I live in Bothell

Haven't seen anyone toss anything but some one did base jumped over past me on DH/LA

is the Beckey-Chouinard harder or just better rock/ better climbing. How did you climb kearneys wandering 5.9 pitch?

I want to know if its still $5 for Squid or if there is an additional "ink" cleaning fee.

anyone know how broken up that glacier on Goode is?

Err, where is Polish Bob when you need him. I'm sorry but this isn't the first time I have seen someone claim that pitch 4 is 5.11 and there is no way thats true. Compare it to pyscopath which is 5.11- and way harder. Pitch 4 is 10c max more like 10b. And pitch 5 is no harder than 10a/b. Sorry for the pointless ratings drivel. Nice work by the way

once I finish up my tps reports

Catching the boss spraying, Do that on your own time and we need the count page down here asap

i know a lot of people going up there. Its going to be busy probably best to go climb elsewhere this weekend.
