i got the garmont mega-ride no too long ago (4 buckle) and they are great. the performance is great, they ski much more like a standard ski boot, but are still light and tour fine.
depends what you want for performance. my old boots were fine in good conditions but i got sick of the sloppiness in variable conditions.

Ondra. that is quite a road trip. this is after all the rock climbing forum. I am sure if it were some cool alpine climb everyone, including myself, would be giving some praise.maybe all of you with your lame responses should be taking it to spray.

went for an afternoon backcountry ski up above source lake and it was snowing pretty hard. there was almost a foot of new snow up high, still a little funky underneath.
it should be a return to the deep stuff this week!
-
rock skis!! i'd hate to see what would happen if they actually hit one. the are some pretty nice high speed turns.
-
whats the address? any age and or skill limitations?
oh yeah if you want to compete there are lots of categories, youth through open. Also a masters (45 and over). get details here www.stonegardens.com
guess i assumed everyone would be most interested in beer
-
Stone Gardens yearly bouldering competition is this saturday, Nov 18th. The comp is running all day and the On-Sight Finals start @ 6:30pm. After the comp there will be a party WITH FREE BEER!! come check it out, should be a good time and some strong climbers.
Also there will be an Access Fund raffle. Also red bull will be there giving out their stuff.

I don't have a problem with removing that anchor, although i have climbed and enjoyed it many times.
My real questions is why they removed only one!! If it was an effort improve the purity of the climb then why leave a bolt right next to a protectable crack? I am assuming that hard guys still clip that bolt. or are hard climbers just trying to shut out the easier ones?

an entertaining read. try this link http://flickr.com/photos/60919971@N00/sets/72157594313051605/

Just did that 4th pitch earlier in the summer and i have to say it is a really fun finish. seems like a waste not to do it
-
we were just tring that saturday. i was able to reach the next holds from the feet you mentioned, there is a decent undercling on the left that helped. then crimped up and high stepped to those holds, there is one more hard move before you finally get to a good hold, still i think the hardest move is right off the ground.
-
we went by the base of st vitus to do rock on and saw the large group at the base. i was glad we had chosen a different route. i guess they climbed up to broadway and then lowered a pretend victim all the way down the slab.
hopefully they were not too busy praticing to help the guy who actually got hurt
-
I had planned on enjoying a day off climbing in the sun at index until my partner bailed this afternoon. was hoping to jump on a few of the classics.
PM if interest.

climbed in 11worth on saturday, beautiful weather. we did a few pitches at keen acres, a couple fun climbs up there, keen something (?) being the best.
then we did another roadside attraction, which is a pretty fun climb, a great way for a lazy ass to do a few more pitches. just as my partner was climbing over the bulge/mantel on the first pitch a whole family pulled over and got out to watch him fall/struggle over it.
-
it is definitely doable in a day, one real long day. much easer in 2 days. but if you are fit go for it.
i've done CD in 2 days a couple times. did the easton in a day on skis and we summited pretty late, noon, but the back down was quick.
-
Since those 2 areas encompass most of the western wa bouldering it make sense. does goldbar really need it's own guide book?
call it hwy 2 bouldering
-
i'll buy the guidebook when it comes out, subject to review of course, but i doubt i'll be visiting gold bar a ton. i've been there a few times and the climbing is fun but the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired with the hoards of offroaders, trash and clearcut. the Leavenworth part should be great.
i have checked out the mountain project site and it is pretty cool, but without a guide book for reference i have no idea where most of the climbs refered to are.

partner found
-
anyone up for climbing at index tomorrow? just want to get out and do a few of the classics to get in shape, looks like it will be dry.
-
every time i am out there i see a car or two with tons of crap in it. If your car is completely empty then there is nothing to steal. i usually even take the face of my stereo just to be on the safe side.
-
i love my mythos, but they might be a little soft for a heavier person. they have held up great for me. they are great to climb in. i have found them a little soft for lots 4th class type stuff.
you might try the tradmaster if you want a little stiffer shoe alpine type shoe

this is the second hand version. saturday afternoon, someone fell while rappin' down rogers corner. they had 1 rope so they were doing 2 raps and on the second rap they fell about 40ft then fell further down the ledges and was taken away by ambulance.

-
maybe this should be required watching when you get you cc.com logon
