hey for awhile i only had 1 star and then i rocketed up two. You could say my confidence in my climbing abilities doubled.

i download it, it rules for being free. heres the web address don't know if it works http://www.alpinist.com/callingcard/Alpinist0.pdf You might have to fill out there name, address, etc portion somehow i moved to las vegas and my email address is rockstar@hotmail.com

Is the entrance page gone forever. I found it was good for checking the lastest posts, that and the shot box was the best thing ever. Did it take up to much server space? Oh well guess i'll live

That is interesting. Fairwhether do you train by running up hill? Heres a question kinda related does anyone know if you can use the Husky Stadium to run stairs. I know it weird but i think that would be good training.

don't you mean g12. G14 are slightly more aggressive with vertical front points as opposed to horizontal ones on the g12s.

Yeah, I now that beckeys got a lot of fa's all over north america. I'm not competive I just see mountains and want to climb them so the tick list grows faster then I can check stuff off

like everything from the stuart to the picket range and would probably like stuff north of pickets just never done anything up in canada. dislike the fact that no one except beckey can climb all there is to offer

my undestanding and this may be wrong is that most cramps are caused by a combo of muscle fatigue and dehydration. Usually just drinking water will make cramps go away in my experience.

looks like cracked is going to have to change his avaiter again what will that be number 4

lol

yeah, i got promoted to the 2 star club again

thanks it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside to know you care

you better be careful about that i pointed out that i had 2 stars and the next time i logged on down to 1. You could get more stlye points for that drainage if you did it when the moss is wet I believe. Or perhaps in the middle of a thunderstorm so the water cascades down on to you. (sort like spindrift)

In little peter vocabulary class the teacher wrote the word indefinitely on the board. The teacher then asked if anyone could pronounce the word. Sally then stood up and said in def initely and the teacher said very good now peter can you used it in a sentence. Peter stood up and said When I felt my balls slap her ass I knew I was in definitely.

Do you no anyone who you could borrow tools from before you go spend the big dollars? I would recommend this highly. Also I won't rule out curved shaft tools. The curve is nice when clearing bugles. I have alp wings, they are curved and pulge well.

I'm sorry have you used them? They don't cut circulation off to my hands (Think about whose hands were cold on saturday) Believe it or not if there adjust right they don't sinch down to tight either, I thought this was going to be a probelm until I used them.

A lot of people who don't actually climb read climbing magazines or climbing books. I can't tell you how many times i have been asked questions while reading books at the uw bookstore from hikers.

Since there have been two threads today on probelms with black diamond leashes I thought I would tell you all the about the marvels of the easy g leashes. Just to let you know that I have only had the tools for a month now and have used them three times. The best thing about the leash is it easy to get in and out of when placing pro. Just place the tool, then move your hand out from the tool and move it up. On mix ground where you may want to grab holds with your hands you can let go of the shaft of the tool and the leash will open up but still be around your wrist (does that make sense) allowing you to grab holds place pro or whatever. Another postive is moving from shaft to head of the tool where all you literally have to do is move your hand up the shaft of the tool, making sure to move the loop up the shaft of the tool as well. The only negative I have notice is that once I wrapped a leash around the head of the tool when using my hand to grap handholds. But that was me just being a dumbass mostly. I case you are considering buying new leashes there 11 bucks from europe you would have to be buying something else order them. 33 from mec and 23 from rei sorry it was the only us website i found that had them but i didn't look that hard and i'm sure jim's shop has got them.

Bill Are you saying that eat nothing for 6 hours on climbs(give or take). If you can keep going strong that long then I'll just have to call you a hardman. One thing you may try doing is having you partners put there gu packs in there pockets. This way we they need there fix i'll have to do is reach in there pocket pull out a shot and continue. Before heading out I usually put a couple cliff bars in my pockets so I don't have to stop. Thats also kinda weird that you don't get the fast food burger craving I don't think I have ever climb with anyone who hasn't got it on a long summer day or multiday trip.

when i looked at the title i thought it was going to be about how yesterday people were actually talking about climbing Most of it was just who was up at chair on saturday but there was talk about ny gulley so forth. Today back to nothin but spray.

so i gues minimally confusing approaches rules out the pickets?

its 26 if you live in a state with unemployment above 6.5% washington has 6.6% I believe oregon, alaska, and Idaho are also above 6.5% pnw all the way

just wondering what elevation is index at? not the summit. the elevation of the town or the base of the route. somewhere around 1500ft?

Dwayner and Peter Nelsons books are called SELECTED climbs not classic climbs. The EDM may not be a classic climb but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be in his book. He mentions in the preface or somewhere else that he has climbs for all ranges of abilities. So the EDM is a selected climb to challenge those with the capabilities to tackle the route.

Graybeard hadn't had a repeat when the book was published right? and Colonial has only seen two ascents? I think it is just in there for us gapers to gawk at and know its there. Plus didn't jim do the first ascent. won't you put it your book if you had the fa
