"Life's just a blast moving really fast better stay on top or life will kick you in the ass"

It's a tossup whether the next month's contest will be "Post like Klenke" or "Post Like Schuldt" to eesy. posteing like Dave Schuldtz is borring. i dont wand too look stoopit

Seems like on ice they might be nice. Everyone made the same arguments that Lummox is making when 60s were introduced. With the really skiiny twine you won't be paying much of a price in weight, either. :shrug:

Sprayshaw, you are one wierd mofo.

Go to Lilloet and lead the WI2s and 3s, or go to Marble and TR stuff. Alpental occasionally has ice, but it's been warm lately.

WRONG! 'Gehiem' means 'secret'. 'Heim' is indeed home, but 'geheim' is something else entirely. So it's literally 'secret state police'.

Canadia ice is in!

They suck! And all those geeks and posers in the Slot Couloir. Can you say "photoshop"? Just kidding! Nice site.

Actually it is lighter... Depends on the mass of the picket...

Aye, she WAS a cutie! And all the single horny ugly ice climbers lusting after her!

One of my frequent ski partners had unbelievable damage done to his shins by his big, new AT boots. He now covers the affected area with moleskin to reduce the friction, and now his shins are fine.

Either Smith or skiing.

South of 3fj there is a large hump with a bowl on the south. You pass by it when you climb 3fj in the summer. It's a great tour. Maxwell Butte is also fun, though a lot of it is traversing. Inconvenient for yoyoing, but fun. I'm sure you know about Tumalo. Another fun cinder cone is Black Butte. It's tough to find it with enough snow to ski, but sometimes in April you can get 2500 feet of perfect corn. Those are the tours I'm familiar with. Go for it.

What trashing of companies is going on here? That's right...none! The BD thread is a different matter, but please don't try to portray me as bashing anyone. Your self-righteousness gets old kinda fast, Allison. I went to FF today, who said they'll ship the gloves to CV and we'll see what they say.

I was just playing around with my new camera, and I find if you hold the button down halfway, prefocused, there is almost no lag time between pressing the button and activating the shutter.

You don't get it. And this was hardly a rant. They're nice gloves, but I'm disappointed that they didnt' last very long.

Hehehe. Anyone remember that thread? Back on topic. My Ice Floe gloves were bought on Friday. I climbed six pitches of ice on them over the weekend. One rappel. And one of the fingers blew a seam. I'd sew it back together, but unlike the BD drytools, they have a separate liner, so I can't get at the seam. They're going back. My other dislike of the glove is that all the padding and stuff makes them very difficult to dry. In conclusion, Cloudveil couldn't be farther from their roots, and are only intersted in making a buck rather than making quality gear. Well, maybe not, but these gloves do seem to have weak seams (no pun intended).

You only get to spray in the Gear Critic if you're a mod?

Rock climbing is overrated.

I did ND yesterday on TR. It's a really fun route, thin but good hooks near the bottom, surprisingly steep ice at the top. You can actually kick to get feet at the bottom. I'm guessing this is considered 'fat'. I still got pumped out of my mind.

I was in the same boat until last week. I bought a Canon Powershot S50, 5.0 megapixels, etc, etc. I figured I'd spend a bit more and get good optics, though as Ray says, 3 megapixels or so will do fine.

If you have thermo liners, why do you need orthotics? Have you tried not using the orthos? I had bad foot pain when I tried Superfeet in leather boots, the pain went away when I got rid of the insoles.

Yeah, for all those pre-dawn approaches you do to the boulders. Right? No, it's for the 420 sessions around the campfire!
