go buy all the yonder mountain string band cds, intense!

yeah the lower picnic area with a small field is better, cops don't usually come down to the smaller area. No power that I know of, only a few picnic tables.

sounds good! it was a perfect run tonight, great temp! maybe thursday norman?

c'mon someone has to want to go running on this pefect night! edit:damn you all, I'm off to huff and puff! no not that Erik!

anyone want to go run a lap or two around glake? I need to get in shape!!! I'll be getting offline at 9pm so respond in the next 25mins!

Agreed, but that's something you have to factor in everywhere.

Then let's go climbing Alpine!!!!! I don't know why you haven't responded every time I say that. Let's get out there and you can ropegun for me!? Show me you're the real deal!!!!

Still 18 for a couple more months and haven't even been climbing a year. Onsighting mid-upper 10's and bouldering V5. The conversion for bouldering to sport is not even comparable though. They say that v5 should be like 11d or 12a? something like that. But I've been on a few upper 11's and would consider them much easier than v5. They don't take as much strength and usually aren't sustained. With ropes most 11's are a couple 11 moves and then 10 or 9. With bouldering it's usually 18ft of more than the steepest part of a roped climb. It's essentially the crux and then some. I have gotten a lot into the mental side of climbing and I climb outdoors every weekend. I'm not quite sure where the plastic figures into it, I just use it as training to get stronger. Same as a marathon runner running before a race, it's training. I wish I could do more trad but I don't yet feel comfortable on my gear placements and don't have a rack, so I need people to go with. But I go sport and bouldering every chance I get because it's easy and that is what most of my friends do. I'm going on a month road trip this summer strictly to climb, so we'll see how Rumr's predictions hold up, but I hope to just be climbing at a higher level than I am now. Distel

Yeah v5 outdoor is about the same as 6 indoor. Yeah I'm a skinny little guy too, 5'10" 148, but its a good thing!

v5 indoor or outdoor?

I remeber reading that post by CPB, good find Jay. Good post! JayB s. Said exactly what I couldn't come up with! Up for UW with ya anytime.

no I definetly agree with you fence. I try to do some alpine, a little trad, sport and boulder. I think I good climber should be able to do all sorts, but you also can't deny people who only boulder v7 and climb 5.12 sport are good climbers you know? I'd love to go bouldering with ya sometime.

Spend the next ten years becoming a good climber, then talk trash. Sucker.

Easy on Allison, she's a good gal.

The athletic talent? no big deal, let's just go climbing and enjoy what we do.

Yeah my tutu looks great. I don't see why you are dodging out now and talking about my knees, but whatever. Let's go bouldering sometime then, and then alpine climbing or trad or whatever you would like to do.

check out the bouldering gallery. AlpineK- Why don't you like sit starts? can't get off the ground, no offense but is that why? And comparing bouldering to synchronized swimming, c'mon now, you can do better than that. The problems may be short but let's go bouldering and see how you do and I will gladly attempt to go jam any crack. But please don't say stupid shit about things you can't do, I can't climb 5.10 crack without hanging, so I don't say shit about it. If we go bouldering and you climb well then it's all good, but don't trash shit you can't do.

bowlines are easy! marshall go buy a damn harness!!!! it's been like 5 months and you still haven't gotten one!? put off your next 40sack and go buy one!

good story jordop! Thanks IceG, too bad you didn't get out this weekend!

people who generalize boulderers and say that bouldering is lame.

What GregW really said: "my ass can't even establish on any of the shit that you did and I'm too old to put my heel as high as my chest. Further more I'm a homophob who is not totally comfortable with my sexuality." What'd you do Greg?

It was a beautiful weekend and I sure hope that everyone got out at least one day, so did anybody do anything really cool or hard?? I got one day in at 11worth and sent a few problems just below and right at my max, so I was quite pleased.

G-lake rocks! where CD? UT- if you want to live out of a car for a month and climb5-6 days a week I'm going on a trip leaving at the end of june.

aaahhh shit, not another california trip with Erik!?

How long are you going to be down in Yosemite? I'll be down in late June
