    Mantras

    I haven't seen it mentioned here but I always weight the rope before i unclip to make sure everything is good. Also when rappling in the alpine but some gear in a clip it before pulling the rope how many times have you read "A climber was pulling ropes after a rappel and was knock off by rockfall...."

  3. i have only used a reverso twice but does anyone find it hard to keep the second or seconds tight with the reverso when they are moving fast over easy terrian? maybe its just a symbol that we should be simul climbing

  5. looks like catbirdseat is in the lead so far
  6. I recieved one but didn't fill it out so i got a letter requesting that I fill it out. Why would i fill it out when i could spend that time spraying??
  7. I personally am not taking the class but I climb with two people who are. I trust both of them. Personally i think its like all things in life your going to get out of it what you put into it.
  8. The pin was just a regular old rusty piton. I saw an off width not to far up and left of us.

  18. are you talking about heart of country or the third pitch of gm. Since you say two blue camalots i assume the third pitch of gm.
  19. City Park Well actually we climb godizilla today and as we were rapping down i notice that city park was bomber finger locks and feets that are good even by indian creek standards. So thank you will put that one on the list.
  20. Oh heavens i almost forgot its appears to be a double for those times you need extra length.
  21. I bet it's red... actually its a rather lovely blue and white stripped spectra sling avaible at rei for 16$.
  22. Hey daylward that was me and my friend jule that arrived in the parking lot as you where leaving. Thanks for the approach info. although when we got to the 2nd creek we couldn't remember if you said go up or don't go up the creek. We eventually got back on the trail though. We ended up getting spanked by the the southwest buttress route. Mostly because we tried to climb up to far to the east. Once we figured it out we where out of water and it was getting late so we descended. The southwest buttress descend should work find. Definitly bring two ropes for it though. Theres a gulley near the start of the west ridge that looking up i saw some rapp slings in. Rapping from there should get you to 2nd/3nd class heather (we did a belayed down climb/traverse to reach this point) From here 15ft down a gulley on the west side of the buttress is a horn to rapp off of. Then one more double rope rap gets you to the glacier. I would recommond this descending this way because that crevasse you jumped is probably no long passible considering how hot it was on monday-tuesday.
  23. The best is when the japenesse tourist in the canadian rockies ask to take your picture.
