  1. Someone else will have to figure that one out. I have yet to go to Hood or Adams.
  2. Are you flirtin' with Minx chappy old boy?
  3. True CBS: you are the one that put a fluke in on Gibs chute. (I would have done the same)
  4. I'm stoked
  5. Does anyone camp at the Bivi area? It's only $4 and you get a shower Or is it No fires, no naked juggling, no bottles....
  6. When I came out here fresh from Colorado ten years ago, and living at or above 8k' for 7 years, I was able to run up Baker with no more effort than it took to play a casual game soccer in Telluride town park. The size of the mountain and the crevasses were what impressed me. That said, I'm a bit freaked now because I am going back this July to climb Hallet, Longs and the Petit Grepon in three consequetive (sp?) days with my old friend. He will be returning from a month long trek in Tibet. I think I'm gonna get spanked BTW There is no way they "drove" out here and did all that and "drove" back. It is at least 21 hours to Grand Junction. Another 5 to 7 from there to various points along the front range. Flew, maybe. Once here and doing all three with an acclimatized crew would be no mean feat. The crux is the drive and a long enough weather window.
  7. YIKES! Tell me; does that contain a rocket deployed chute in case you take that terminal whipper your mom warned you about....? And is it a Federal offense to carry that thing over State lines
  8. Thanks man! I found the necessary mapage via google btw: you want me to keep an eye out for your hat while I am down there?
  9. Gonna be down there first week (5th thru 8th) of July sans partner. Which would be the better camping spot to hook up with folks and generally hang; Grasslands or The Bivi? Thanks Goat
  10. Triple Black!?! Dude, the whole freakin' thing is black! Outta sight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. There is another thread on this, I think that is what Clintoris is referring to.
  12. So this is still going on or what? Sounds like people are still climbing there.
  13. I'm booked until the fifth, so maybe later this summer. I'll be gone from approx the 5th of July until the end of July. Bill
  14. This kinda looks more like a poll on transciever brands, likes and dislikes, in relation to user experience/confidence.
  15. I knew you two had something going on!
  16. Our foreign policy seems to mirror Bush's OK jitterjepp, we can negotiate.
  17. "Around ten years ago, a buddy and I bolted and climbed the the prominent easy arĂȘte route (5.6?) on the right side of the Silver Cliff. I was up there recently and saw that some one has re-bolted the route with new hardware. While it is good to replace hardware on a regular basis, this activist went too far and also added NEW bolt at the start of the route. This new bolt is unnecessary because the route was well protected as it was, and the new bolt is, in fact, dangerous because it is drilled into a DETACHED BLOCK. I take pride in my work and don't want to see it botched up by someone that does not know what they are doing. And in this case, someone could get hurt. Who is doing this retro bolting? PS. Does anyone have info on other routes at Silver Cliff?"
  18. You can link to jitterjepp cause that is his profile from this site. I'll copy the content of the "bolt war" for ya...
  19. Bad news RIP I wonder if they were coming off the ledges or were actually climbing straight up the chute?
  20. Maybe Carolyn was working for them the whole time and jitterjepp was lurking, gathering information and probing for weakness...maybe this was a great big set up...they knew we couldn't resist after our successful invasion of England...MN is just another domino in the chain...they saw it coming and prepared...Chaps is just the tip of the... ARRRRGGGHHH...... (maybe I should get back to work )
  21. Another WATCH OUT! At least one of their members jitterjepp has been a member of this board for awhile. How long till he chimes in We could be fighting a war on two fronts...
  22. LOOK OUT! A Bolt war Is about to erupt over the retro bolting of a rugged 5.6.
  23. Maybe it's Minx!
  24. Yeah Minx, I don't think even Trask can generate this kind of reaction with the post:response ratio Chaps has. (btw you are quite the woman of mystery, aren't you )
  25. How do you know Minx...Hmmmm
