oh grow up

korn sucks thought i would let you know

A Big old Milkshake every night before bed should help

Marthas Mistake

War with Iraq, this is the route you tell everyone your going to climb convince someone from england to climb it with you, then don't.

yeah bolt clipper but most eight years olds aren't in highschool. Still if I had a kid i would get him or her ice tools, if i had two i would get them each one to save money.

all you parents should get your kids ice tools, maybe expensive but all in all worth it

still think you should the pinkpoints and put in redpoints where climbers after all

Had to work this weekend did manage to do the approach for the ne buttress of chair one day after work and pull on plastic the next. yeah i'm that hardcore

So we have already have a best/worst of 2002 thread i was wondering what projects people are working on for 2003. I understand if no one wants post there secret projects here but if you want to, i promise not to poach on any of them. So my are north ridge of stuart, kain route robinson, to get up something in the pickets on a clear day, start leading harder trad routes heres to all for entertaining my borem

know one tried bitch or cunt yet. Hold on let me go get my george carlin tapes hes got a bunch

I notice there was a colors poll with options blue, green, pinkpoints, and red. Perhaps as climbers we should go with redpoints. hahhah what a dumb joke. for tim and jon. I'll by you some if i ever meet you.

Bolt Clipper quit being so dam young and stop refering to Mark twat as an honorable god. If i ever hear you speak these words i will make sure to bring my knife when we venture out onto a crevasse field.

why don't you let us know, so those of us in washington don't have to drive down if there not.

There have already been several threads disguisting this. But anyway they are located off mountain loop highway, near the mount dickerman trail head. I would say they are more like firm snow then ice but are still fun.

and your aviater is winter, i find that ironic

nicely said

yeah, the vandals may not be a good football team but the greatest seahawk ever was played for them. Sam Merriman went to the probowl and still holds the seahawk record for most fumbles returned for a touchdown i believe.

Becky was a hardman. Hasn't he put up some 5.10 routes or did he aid those? I think the ultimate hardman challenge has to be something in the pickets. If your going to use modern gear then it has to be in winter. If your going to use army surplus gear and wear wool, you can be hard like becky and do it in summer.

I was wondering if you could french in the koflach verticals. I have woren the artic expis once and i couldn't french in them. If you can't french in a boot i would think it would probably rule it out of the volcano and moderate alpine ice stuff, unless you have calves of steel. Right? Caveman those la sportivas your friend uses for everything are they the trango extremes?

Never done it so i can't tell you to much about conditions but i hear the easton on baker makes a good winter slog, you can ski down too.

I agree with his thoughts that paying 60,000$ to be guided up everest is kind of lame. I image he feels much the same way i do when people who don't climb tell me they have climbed rainer. Then I ask if they were guided and of course they went up the dc with rmi. I know eveyone has there own sense of adventure but of the 5 people i have talk to that have done this none could tell me anything about crevasse rescue and only 2 new what i meant by self arrest. So is it really climbing, to be guide up rainer? I know everest is different but i image thats how he feels. Oh, and i willing be going to Kearneys side show on Thursday instead.

Metal Hexes sound cool I doubt there lying about strength, however, i to would question durability of the peices.

I got a sleeping bag from costco for 30$ it was been used in winter. you can get forged friends for cheap from mec. I got a mountain hardware etherenal shell for 115 from www.seirratradingpost.com I don't own a stove because if i really need it i bet my partner has one or i can borrow one. marmot mountain works has good deals from time to time. Bolt clipper got a brand new pair of rages for 300. I got a pair of Garmot k2 GTX for 200 from there discount section. I know Rei sucks but i got a pair of atlas snowshoes for 40$ from a scratch and dent sale. I also got trekking poles for 30$ from www.rei-outlet.com My favorite pack lowe alpine huate route was also bought on clearance from rei for 60. For maps find a friend who has topozone or one of those programs and a nice printer. It is mostly about being patencient and getting by with what you have though, take it from a poor college student.
