whirlwind

nah sportos and boul;ders tend to rub in the ratings more than crack climbers, gotta get em back when we can

all 3 trad and anywhere, (squam index or 11) weather dependant i supose

any one free for some climbing this weekend?

i have soem of the same issues, i hate hostile group take overs, and it is hostile when a group of 20 or so people come to tr a handful of climbs and in alot of cases crowd out some of the better but harder climbs, kinda like the sportos that crowd out all the good crack climbs on sunshine wall.

holy shhh.

most definatly

i'll give ya 150

my bad

climb hand cracks for a while..

that topropeing trad is easyer than top ropeing sport... probly, the point was leading isn't

fucking tools clip em or skip em.. who gives a fuck

this might be true, but i don't think so. there is more to climbing trad than you think, yeah u might be able to lie back a 10+ crack right now luke but try lieing back that same crack and placeing gear its a whole new game, not saying u couldn't do it but it would take u more than a week or two.

where the fuck are the pics?

i don't remeber but i dont think they were right next to each other, and it was probly twisted several times

i don't know how the fuck i would shock load the chain while sittin on top of jellow tower , also at a hanging belay it wouldn't get shock loaded less there was slack in it and the leader fell and pulled all his gear, thereby shockloading the anchor besides for hanging belays i don't just use the daisy( and actually i dont clip 2 loops with one beiner either)

i once had someone tell me not to clip two loops on my daisy cause if it breaks i'm screwed. given they are right but i was sitting on top of jellow tower at the time and each loop is 800 lb test

tv does tend to take a couple of yrs off...

nice pics dude

where did u lose it and when?

where is cascade crags anyway?

probly cause i have no idea what or who that is

we haven't had a good war/ oil thread in a while so here it goes... while sitting in econ class today, reviewing supply and demand a idea came to mind that i just had to share. people seem to think that the war wasn't about oil especally since in the after math their has been no major effort to reconstruct the iraqi oil industry, which by the way seems kinda dumb since it would promote jobs for iraqi's and increase the circulation of money in iraq (hopefully). any way here is somthing to think about, iraq use to sell alot of oil to siria for dirt cheap, this oil was then used or sold by siria( most likely to russia). after cutting this pipeline off the demand for oil from opec increases, and with iraq no longer producing oil (for opec) supply at the same time decreases this brings about an increase in price. obivously this is why we are now paying so much for gass. but how does this help the U.S.? well it doesn't but look who is now getting extremely weathly ( even more so than they already are) thats easy the people that own oil; the Bush family the sadi family (who control opec, and also have very close ties to the bush family and ties to the terroists of 911, at least by nationality which may mean nothing but...., the same attack that was used to start war in afganistan, which then evoled and some how turned its attention on iraq) but who knows?

bump

definatly time to break in the old climbing muscles, was in sqaumish as well this week end, it was awsome
