Norsky

Just got back from a reunion in Oslo. I only got out one day for some fun bolt clipping with some locals. There's loads of awesome climbing right outside of the city. In fact, there's a subway station about 5 minutes from the cliff I went to! Imagine a 25 meter cliff just over vertical with glacier polished granite reminiscent of Petrifying wall. Anyone else have Scandinavia stories? I hope to visit my cousin in Goteborg, Sweden to go bouldering on the island of Hono someday.

I give up, where's the Zip? I could not find it in any of my guide books.

What about length of the sleeping areas? I'm considering a purchase, but I'm wondering how my 6 foot 3 inch height will affect things. Any input on this? I'd like to get a Euro or Westie.

In 97 I spent a couple weeks in Cham. You can camp for free by the first frique station at the Plan on the up to Midi. Try the "Chalet" hotel clear across the valley from Mt. Blanc for partners or cheap rooms. Enjoy!

Is Messner's Yetti involved in this?

Sewer Rat at Skaha. Who dunnit?

Lot's of people hate the Exit, but you have to admit there are some killer lines if you're into bolts. There's Amazonia wall, Nevermind Wall.

What you talking fool? Topping out on that was nice!

Ahhh, gotta to go wash my hair now. Name one route where a hairy runout is necessary with a flex #3 camalot. That's the real question.

Et tu Dru?

Name one granite route where tri cams are essential without a hairy run out.

But seriously, why?

hey sparky! I sent the whole thing. And it was 15 minutes of my life I will never get back. The last hour of chatting in this rag, I'll never get back.

While doing my homework on Vicuna Beach I came across the hugest recommended ticklist I've ever seen. Check it out:http://bivouac.com/UsrPg.asp?UsrId=30

Don't get me started on the Tri cams again! Your fears dont dictate my decisions. Do as you wish. And this whole time I thought Tri Cams sucked, when it's really a lack of huevos on my part. I'll remember to breathe deeply as I place that next Tri Cam into the placement that "nothing else will fit in".

No (non fixed) Tri Cam has ever held a fall. If you think this is not so you're wrong.

Don't get me started on the Tri cams again!

Nice call Dru

When I did the DC about 10 years ago, it was tolerable cause we camped at Ingrahm Flats. Still, seeing the line of headlamps coming up around 1:00am was very creepy. Loads of shit and puke as well. Someone coiled a hoopsnake in the warm summit vent!

So let's hear your pics for all time worst chipped, crowded, etc. routes. Whilst bouldering (no it's not a crime), I checked out Kakodemon Rock at Squamish and saw those two drilled out lines on the uphill side. The worst one was seriously a line of "bowling ball" holes all the way up!

What the hell? Have y'all ever whipped on a horizontally placed forged? I have not and that's why I'm still around.

Tough TR. Next time check out Chamonix. Day trips to 12,000 ft via gondolas and get back in time for cheese and wine for dinner. More importantly, what did you argue over???

What possible reason could you have for such an offer? Forged is Strom Thurmon while flexible is John Sherman.

I for one am coming off a three day trip to Squamish. We all had a great time and the only injuries are a pulled hamstring from hooking. Jarred...where art thou?
