skyclimb

So I messed my index finger up good on the SGH by icefall. This was about four weeks ago. I had x-rays taken and nothing was broken. In the last few days I have noticed a lump on top of my index finger between the 2nd and third knuckle. I don't think it could be bone, so I am in the same boat as you CBS. What the hell

Sunset slab is excellent, as are the climbs on the arete right of asterik pass. Another great climb is that 5.7 sporto start to spiderman. I can't remember the name dammit, and now its gonna eat at me. Spiderman is great! Spiderman is great ! Spiderman is great! Oh did I mention that Spiderman is..... lycrophondyte is good, but its nice to have micros instead of passive, Ohh smith, ohh smith, where would we be without you, our local crag, not at all a hag, but rather a kind, gentle reprieve, from the monotony of singular pockets and ruts

Sabertooths.... My first pair of crampons wer SMC's with the orange rubber straps... Sabertooths.... The metal is actually fairly resiliant to mixed as well

Gear Heads in Moab had offsets a few weeks ago... Neptune mountaineering in Boulder probably has some as well, being as Colorado Custom Hardware(aliens) is based out of colorado. However REI has a huge contract with colorado custom hardware, so REI gets precedence over smaller shops. REI doesn't seem to specialize enough in rock gear though to carry offsets?

to PMR and the other people who helped out. Sounds like things would have been very bad had the climbers not been seen

Climb: Mt. Rainier-Gib. Ledges Date of Climb: 4/3/2004 Trip Report: Pen(Dulton), Nate, and myself(skyclimb) decended on the muir snowfield at 4:45 friday evening. A full moon illuminated the hike to muir, and natural air conditioning was at its finest. We reached Muir at 10: something to be pleasently suprised by the elequent and admirable company of Hannah(girlclimber). We began climbing at 4:45a.m., reached the ledges, did the exit chute, and topped out above gibralter rock. Due to a white-out we didn't summit, but had a great time decending the Ingrahm Direct. We then entered back into the sunshine! Girlclimber will post a more detailed report, but this route is in condition, and seriously rocks! It may take her a few days though, because she is going to give the nisqually icefall a try today! http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=4155&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=503 Gear Notes: Crampons, Ice axes and second tool(didn't need) Approach Notes: Blah,Blah,skies needed, Blah

There will most definatly be a bridge still. Park in the overnight parking lot, clearly marked. No one will hassle you except for the snow plows, which have a knack for spotting sleeping climbers. They then play the game to see how close they can get to you vehicle. Its all in good fun though

Rock On Jon and Tim

Nice work Luke and co. Cool send on the triangle Nice crack skills E, looked a little wide at the top there. Good old thigh jams eh

If I am not mistaken, the flatirons are closed to climbing for a great deal of the year due to birds nesting. I think the ban takes effect from jan 1st. through sometime in mid-summer. Any beta on this??

Depending on your comfortability with snow routes, june and july are prime in colorado. Mt. of the holy cross is great, with a couloir sunk way into the mountian. It rises for 2,000 feet, and tops out at the summit. Keyhole is great. crestone needle and peak are great, but are a little technical. Rock is solid though. Pick up colorado 14'ers book. Third flatiron is a great suggestion. Try gore peak outside of vail. Great 13'er in an awesome setting, with great diversity, and 4th class scrambling. Near boulder there is also the indian peaks wilderness, which is accessed via brainard lake. Awesome scrambling up there. Do it under a full moon for full effect.

and a # 3 camelot

there is a solid layer of ice with approx. a foot of unconsolodated powder on top. THis unconsolodated powder is forming a breakable crust. I posted the way I did to inform people of danger on other routes. If you read the avy forecast it is primarily for north-east east aspects. This obviously doesn't negate the danger on other aspects, but west facing routes would be very dangerous right now due to the death cookies higher up, and avy conditions. END

Climb: Mt. Hood-South Side Date of Climb: 3/28/2004 Trip Report: Started climbing at 2 this morning. Put the boot track in on the hogsback. High avy danger. Lots of WHUMPS on the way back down. Lots of death cookies on the summit ridge. Bergshrund is slightly open on the right side of the hog. Approach Notes: SKIS, and man did that kick ass

I sometimes have these pains in my left elbow. I have found that rest coupled with coupious amounts of water do the trick. The key is to keep the shit lubrucated.

Like new condition, 2 person, 3 season, retails 150$. Make me an offer.

Black diamond alpine pants! Best to find them on sale, or used though

I will eat your plastic die plastic die

Actually i just got over a dozen pitches last saturday at squamish, up to .11d. Witnesses, Check; Pictures, yup; am i going to post them, nope. Aparently i am bieng called out on it, so next time i go i will take pics of every move and post a lengthy trip report of every ringlock on exasperator. All joking aside, i think that nobody here has any beef with luke's climbing preference. the only thing they would like to see is a little self restraint in his chestbeating. i go to larabee and clayton and area probably every other day now but i dont need to tell the world about it and post pics of every problem. I know luke personaly and think he is a great kid, but i also see how he does get a little over zelous in the fairy tale land of the computer. an example of this is when somebody asked for advice on the weather on dragontail, distels answer was the weather forcast for central Utah???? how that relates, i dont know, i have already gotten the point that he is going to utah, many many times. This fighting shit is all boring, everybody thinks there right. I gaurentee tha people would not say half the shit they doo here if it was in person, face to face. lets just have a good old highschool brawl at the next grasslands meeting, then we will be over it and get PBR'ed. if not, get over your bitching. And if this shit keeps up hot karl's for all you mother fucking bitch ass hoochie momma fucking whores.... Eat a hot karl bitch All we need is a little peace....smoke a dubie, and wanka tree I prefer the middle ground...... hope thats enough drift to end the fucking hell outta this meyhem...I am going to the desert where i am loved... bye.... thats the end.... no more fucking story bitch.... death to the pig.... HAPPY

where is the six-shooter gremlin when you need one? Guns smokin, problem solved right?

THis is the best fucking thread I have ever read

Yeah, I have been doing that for a little bit now. Atleast soaking my head in some good cider. yeah buddy, that makes everything feel good.
