    My tale of woe

    Best. Trip. Report. Ever. Wow, glad you are OK.
  5. I think there might even be a 5.13, or at least 12+ now. "The Power of Lard," on the E face of Snowpatch if I am not mistaken. BTW, there was a new edition on the Randall/Bensen (I think, puplished by the Mountaineers anyway) guide out last summer too, but it's no great improvemenrt on the old one. Mostly the same-same, but with a couple of new routes.
  6. The Bugaboos - One of the World's Great Alpine Rockclimbing Centres by: Chris Atkinson and Marc Piché
  7. I would bet that between the high QC reject rate, the large amount of work, and the low volume, they really aren't that profitable.
  8. Oh, heh, sorry. Kind of a touchy subject for me. still, %-wise, you are probably doing pretty good so far. :shrug:
  9. We are allowed to respond, it's not like this is a "girl's only forum" is it??
  10. My all around rock shoe always seems to be the LaSportiva Mythos. Keep trying other things, keepcoming back to those.
  11. Dru - 1 OW - 0 see here
  12. The screamers I have, which I think are pretty standard size, would extend, 8-12" max.
  13. Fantastic Exploding Rectal Syringe. Not so popular I here.

    drink tap water

    Or pay a lot more ... and still drink tapwater.
  17. I keep all my gates the same way, but the top biner is easy to flip, once clipped, so if I need a gate out of a corner or something, it's no big deal. Here I would be climbing from right to left, and "C\ is a biner with the gate right and down: x \D | C\ becomes: x C\ | C\
  18. Nice job. Pic #2, is that from Wedge Pass?
  19. Have rope coming from the back to the front, that's the rest.
  20. I saw one slide show she did in Vancouver, and thought it was one of thew worst shows I've seen. She was not full of stories, and she did not seem to be even the least bit excited to be there. Maybe she was having a bad night? It was just like "We went here, then we went there, and this is me on some rock there."
  21. Tied off ice screws are bad news. Much weaker than shorties. Can't remember source - BD testing I think??
  22. The more I hear about the Wasatch, the less I want to go there...
  23. Ahh yes, ID vs OD. Oops. fern is right of course.
  24. Stephen, I don't know what Pebax is exactly, but try talking to a good whitewater kayak shop, they usually know someone who can do plastic welding.
