nice

cracked that auto sig rules

lmao

grigi, or whatever that sport climbing device is

oh nice job in getting back okay, just curious what time did you start climbing

I'm totally in agreement Micheal Layton. I think the most interesting part of this site is the tr's (unless there to long) even if its just a report on say the beckey route on liberty bell, then it lets others discuss the different variations to the route, etc.

Yeah, I suppose i would get hot too, if only wore my jacket when spraying and walking around town.

2770, the 3000 mark must be broken

Thanks, i need to make a trip there anyway

No, you can't work until you beat my score

hehe, oh shit i'm screwed i left mine at my parents house

2370 that game is addicting

I'll second the notion to get whatever nuts you can get a deal on. I have a set of Metolius curved nuts and some regular black diamond stopper. I a bomber nut is generally bomber whether or not its curved. For cams you can save money by buying forged friends in the larger sizes like 3,4.

Turns out theres alot on sale anyone know of a place around seattle where one could try some stuff on?

Counter attack! Come on i know someone has the skills

So anyone want to go head up there friday? I could go thursday afternoon and park at the trailhead or hike in.

There are lot of hikes that make for good conditionors. Alot of moderate to easy summer hikes make for a good conditionor in winter due to the longer approach and snow on the ground. I would recommond going up to sahale when avy conditions are good. You'll get good views and a little work out too. Dickerman and pilchuck are nice work out if you do them both in a day. Get a partner and try to due Ruth and Icy in a day.(I haven't done this one but it seems feasible). I guess the point is there are a lot of good hikes to train on. No one has mentioned the cable line on tiger yet, while not a day hike its gains about 2000ft in 1.5 miles its nice to due when you have a lot of other stuff going on that day. I would also recommond if possible to train with your partners, since you will be roped up together it sucks if there slow. My opinion on the weight issue is you need to address your strengths and weakness. When your pushing yourself up a slope is it your lungs or legs that slow you down. If its your legs put some weight in a pack and have at it if its your lungs go trail running.

There was an old thrashed friend stuck in a crack on the twin cracks route at index last time i did that route in october. Its probably still there though. Might work our art project.

I'll second that

That makes for a funny mental picture. oh and cracked your ice screws are getting smashed in rock if i get out

I think we have reached a new cc.com low. Took a shitty climbing topic to began with and turned into a debate on wether all or no caps is annoying.

The SMC pickets are cheap and they come with a pointed end. As jordonp pointed out this is great for firm snow, when you can trust a pick placement, or to kill snaffles. I find most of the time my pickets stay on my pack and i've only rearly used them for belays

something tells me i don't want to click on that link

They need you tell them because there lost, hence looking at the gps. It fact Dru is probably sprayin away on a gps somewhere north of the border right now. As for the tights i don't know and i sure has hell don't want to know about there sick canadian fantasy.

Thanks to all who replied I have plans now.
