Grades are a huge barrier!! Footwork idea: this is of course the lamest tip that I'm sure everyone already does, but just traverse using jibs at the gym. or climb routes with ok holds but only using jibs. practice dropknees! the best move ever....

SC - anyone who has sexually exploited or taken advantage of little children I tend to be a bit wary of, and so does most of the public.....That's all I'm saying, I think pedophiles are very disturbed people

he used to be cool, now he's just a deformed very screwed up woman...I mean man....actually does anyone really know anymore?

Arcteryx bora 30 has worked pretty butter for me....also only paid 65 for it though....if you can scrounge up a little extra dough, dana designs bombpack takes the cake in my opinion

That's sort of creepy man...I live on the same block as duke's, just on the opposite side......he could be one of my neighbors.....

Erik: this fuck face monkey boy from texas...... Couldn't agree with you more man, but he's from Maine partner

a drive down to smith for a 3 day weekend is never out of the question....

Anyone want to do something alpine friday? or maybe friday-sat? up for anything....

-computers -good cameras -records (seriously, I'm not paying $15 for used zeppelin...12 maybe) -ice tools -ice screws....just a tube man -guidebooks!!! no one has said that! 25 for the new vantage book!? I still bought it damnit... -incense at the Chai house

Unfortunately I'm stuck with a 2wd vehicle, but if anyone is going over to hyalite this weekend, I'd love to bum along. Obviously will help pay for gas etc....PM me

Much impressed by both sides of the dwayner topic, but let the scores be settled on the rock....

I live on the north side of g-lake and saw a rather large box of cds in the bushes in front of my neighbors. They were obviously left there, so I'm wondering if they are your buddies. looks to be about 30cd cases plus a black cd wallet (single height)....But there was a britney album on top, so if you don't want to publicly admit it's yours, PM me, just thought I'd let you know that I saw it! good luck!

Chalk bag on a belt for sure! 15) First rock route, some 5.4 in estes park, CO

Well damn, those pictures look awesome! good job guys,

yeah yeah, you say to go to triple cols?

damnit I just want to go bouldering......any beta on dry areas?

yeah, I don't have many ideas. especially because my mind is polluted with the thoughts of the arrival of my new crash pad, suppose to happen on friday..... If nothing else, I know there are boulders to be found in the woods

What do you have in mind?

muffy- thank you for attempting to bring order to cc.com. I will be sending around the petition to ban these later tonight for all interested

seriously man, if you can call those things "taas", she looks pretty bad man

These have to be the worst things to ever come into the climbing world.....Seriously the day you see me with a chicken hanging off my harness is the day I climb 5.14 Actually, they are also offending.......we're all going to burn in eternal damnation.....

You didn't lose weight training because you replaced the fat with muscle, which (trumpet please) WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT!!!! Thus, when you are training, your weight doesn't fluctuate that much, BUT you are in much better shape.

Yeah used them once, sort of awkward placement. Go with the omega-pac. Those placed better for me, the knob is good.

I completely understand both sides of the argument. They are permanent, they aren't that great for the rock, and they aren't the most attractive things. BUT they do open up many possibilities for climbing. Dwayner: "Having clipped bolts doesn't eliminate anyone from participating in the debate. This ain't about personal hypocrisy or saintliness. Much of it has to do with an environmental ethic. If you are aware of the issues, then you will understand the complaints, whether you agree with them or not." If you clip bolts, then don't say they shouldn't be there because you are using them. That's all I want to say dwayner, I'm not trying to pu you down or say you're wrong. This issue though gets brought up by too many people who use bolts all the time. The less impact on nature the better, but we have to be realistic also. Good arguments also dwayner, points well taken.

Not sure if anyone else feels that a certain particular route named washboards is overbolted, in november there was a bolt after every single move! What ever happened to taking those tumbling lead falls on slab? Bolting is always going to happen, yes it's bad in some places, but would there be any 5.14+ routes or very steep overhanging routes without them? Arguing about it seems pretty lame. Every climber at one point or another uses them, so unless you've never clipped a bolt in your life, why keep complaining? Sport climbing is fun unless the route looks like a waffle.
