Do you have too much money? I get by with two: a homemade daypack (probably 2500-3000 ci), wt 1.3 lbs, and an Arc'teryx Khamsin 62. KISS.

How would you know?

Juggy! Buy me a plane ticket and I'll go do it! to him.

Being young never precluded being cynical.

Lucky bastard. I wanna climb.

Muffy you're wrong:

I wasn't looking for chipped holds, I was looking for holds. And if Adam put up the route, every hold will be chipped.

When I have a couple spare days I'll read all of your post Erik.

Speaking of chipping, I took a close look at Churning the other day (I gotta try it sometime) and it seems like all the pockets are the same size and perfectly round! Is is true that 90% of the holds on the route are chipped?

You should consider GA, that's Gumbyholics Anonymous. Reach them at 1-800-lovgumby

Only uglier. Looks like a one-piece suit, like the ones that Blanchard, Doyle, Twight, and Robinson wore on Nanga Parbat. So if you see a guy wearing that suit with a BRIGHT orange pack, it's me. Luckily my ice tools match my pack. Phew!

CAMPUSING IS THE PUREST FORM OF CLIMBING. ALL CAPS REALLY ANNOYS ME.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously.

You love Gumby, admit it DFA.

My stick clip wouldn't reach the first bolt! It's a fun route, though. Almost as good as Gumby! I think it's pathetic/hilarious how people who redpoint .13s keep whining about the classic moderates.

I got me some stylin' blue and yellow windpants that I sewed myself. Along with the blue and yellow jacket I look like a freakin' Euro! I really like the windshell though. It is very light, so I can wear them as my only layer as protection from mosquitos in the summer. They are nearly windproof, but since they are so thin I have to wear long underwear beneath them unless it is very warm. Also, the nylon that I made them out of is pathetic, very slippery, very water-absorbent, and an after-market DWR won't work on it for some reason. I wish I could buy some EPIC, but Nextec won't sell it to individuals. Oh well.

Don't exaggerate, man. Everybody says something stupid at some point.

I was thinking about drytooling there, caught an earful from a couple of assholes who claimed that drytooling will "fucking destroy the rock". I left.

Whatever

Kidding, but seriously, what would you do? Peace at all costs is not peace. It's dicatorship.

Too true.

Light and durable? No can do. Arc'teryx makes some 15oz gore pants though. Cost a lot, but nice. What I use? I haven't worn rain pants in a year. I wear my windshell pants for everything. I have some miserable REI Elements pants for if I ever need em. They have a horrible fit, but what the hell.

Huh?

Thanks.
