not that this means anything, but i was watching the streaming coverage and they said that one guy was lifted out and the other had an injured wrist and was continuing down with the rangers.

he's right. i tried another one of the ropes ad got the 20% off. BUT, i just bought that edelweiss, so unless somebody sees a more compelling reason to send it back...

What Gear tab?

Check out Gear Express for a 10.3 Edelweiss Axis 60m Everydry rope. No tax or shipping. i bought one on Monday. The link

Took this while trying to find an internet cafe in Matsumoto, Japan in March 2004

Yeah, If you climb up to the crux and find that you're out of position or you need to switch your hands, just DYNO dude! Whatever you do, don't downclimb and reposition yourself. That's a sign of FEAR!!! Thanks, Pax. I was trying to hold my back at dis foo. d00d. You connected Pax to AlpinFox. A year ago that would've gotten you sent to AlpinPrison.

I ended up buying the Edelweiss 10.3 Axis Dry 60m for $114.95 at gearexpress.com

This has nothing to do with the thread, but I was in NJ (Princeton) all last week on business and I've never been a place so ass backwards. 55 mph speed limits on the freeway and you can only buy beer at a liquor store. Everytime I leave the PNW I am quickly reminded how rad we have it here. I feel sorry for everyone else when I fly into their flat, disgusting, suburban cities. The PNW

At rockfest, one of the guys told the us that if you used a dry rope out 2 or 3 days in regular rock climbing, that it'd lose its 'dry' abilites (because of the wear on the sheath). This sounds incorrect to me because i thought they treated the individual fibers, not just the outside of the rope. The reason I'm asking is because I need to buy my first rope. I need something for all around use (glacier, toproping, sport, one day trad). I was thinking about getting a 10.2 dry 60m. Is that a waste? Should I just get a thicker standard 60m and a real thin dry 50-60m?

I ended up buying the tracker. YAY!

Apparently you missed all the signs at the old location that read "We have moved. We are now located at..

Man...those are some good prices. What's the general consensus on the X1?

Not that good? Are you on crack? Gorditos rocks. I hear that taco truck on Rainier is really good. Seriously.

that was the dood from FF. He offered it to my gf first But then passed it around

That was me! Nice meeting you man. You sure took off out of there early. See you next time.

Went and had a great time. Got some good instruction from one of the FF guys and met Paul from Mountain Sports(?) who belayed me and vice versa. Won a pair of new Montrail rock shoes in the raffle. Met MisterE and saw Bug. Froze in the rain during the slideshow. Even the gf had fun. Will be there next year.

I hope it doesnt rain. Im trying to make a point to my gf. see ya alpin

i think the idea was to buy one boot to handle two jobs (plastics and light hikers)

Anybody else have these boots? Had them for two years and get mad blisters whenever I wear them. Can't stand them. Sucks too because they were like $150.

Rad shots! I spent so much time admiring Shuksan this winter. can't wait to get out there this summer and climb it.
