Rafal Slawinki, Rob Owen and Ian Wested managed to do first winter ascent of Greenwood-Jones route on Mt Temple N Face. Details are unknown, since the party was on the top of the peak as of last night. it's dr. Slawinski's 3rd FWA on N. face of Temple.

no, the point is not to invent a sport and pretend you are good at it.

fyi, most likely it is a cutting edge in this type of climbing. but this post just shows you are jizz gurgling fuckface. my advice: go suck some dicks- don't bother writing about the subject you have no clue.

how come US team totally sucks donkey cock in biathlon? not only they can't skate worth a crap, but they can hit targets! wtf?! for a country "based" on gun ownership it's pretty lame. even Canada has a better team!of course all the trigger happy rednecks on this site can come up with a long list of excuses. just a reminder: 1.in sports second is as good as last 2. excuses are like assholes- all of them look the same and all of them stink 3.T-A=0

yes, after reading your shit i must admit your are most definitely one of them...... Fortunately for American citizens, your green card won't get you a permit, tool. hey jizzface- i have a us passport, so suck shit through the tube and enjoy it wanker.

Mark- as far as I know REI, MG and MEC- 2 of them the biggest outdoor/climbing gear retailers in North America discontinued selling Aliens some time ago. And for a good reason. After yet another accident, where under force of a small fall it basically fell apart REI and MG conducted independent testing. The results were down right frightening. Some of the units tested at random fell apart between 800-900lbs. The most serious problem was inconsistency of the numbers. These things were discussed on rockclimbing.com for a while. Also astonishing was the initial response of CMH, which treated the reports of accidents as a bunch of people kicking shit up on internet without merit. I know I am partial to Metolius gear, but let's have some objectivity! "i have used the new metolius cams and i agree there good, i just don't think they're a finished product yet that should be on the market."- oh, give me a brake! like Aliens are finished product??!! And let's mention the triggers! like the one on Aliens are that great? Most definitely CMH and their death-toy Aliens should not be on a market. I don't think they still implemented ISO 9000. I know there is a reason why they are not UAII certified.

http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/master_cam.htm I looked at them last afternoon while at Metolius shop. They look kick ass, first units are being shipped to REI and other outfitters in the next couple of days. I hope once and for all they will finally put a nail in a coffin for CMH and their garage production of Aliens.

what? what are you trying to say? I read in the AAJ about these big ice fifi hook things used by Russian, Polish, Ukranian climbers for ice and frozen turf. I wondered if you'd ever used them and if so how they compare to Spectres etc? no, it's rather ancient method. There was a vast use of "jedynka", which is a rock piton, similar in character and use to birdbeak. I don't know why russians are in the same bag as poles? anyway- i think as far as gear it's bit of misinformation.

kozak- your depth of knowledge about central europe equals the "expertise" of Rice. pretty much you both know 2 things- jack and shit and jack left town

this is the biggest bullshit i have read this week. plain untrue and dangerously stupid.

Oh, and illegal immigrants are of zero importance beyond serving as Karl Rove's 2008 stand-in for Gay Marriage and Abortion - illegal employers are the heart and sole (literally) of the problem and if you could do the tally you'd find hypocritical, but nonetheless patiotic republicans are the vast beneficiaries of illegal employment. in 2006 US granted 50 work visas to Mexico. Average wait for work visa to the US is about 18 months. After getting married it took "only" 13 months over 1100 bucs in fees and 5 trips to Seattle to get her a greencard (in the meantime of course she could not work). there are cases people wait 3 years for the FBI background check, which is necesary for citizenship on permanent resident status! immigration office is a friggin joke. after making an appointment with CIS we drove do Tukwilla from Bellingham. it was friday morning, only to find out (after talking with an officer there) that people with decision making power work mon- thur! wtf!

Pushing it back? WTF are you talking about? NATO is still in place and expanding into eastern europe, and the EU is expanding there as well. So what are you referring to? Democracy in Russia is a joke, I'll grant you that. But they've certainly been defange in terms of expansion into Eastern Europe and beyond. are you THAT stupid or just pretend to be. what friggin democracy in russia? like the last elections in ukraine were not a "probe" how old methods would work again? maybe think Gazprom and their constatn threats of cutting gas off to central europe? how well nato is doing we can clearly see in afganistan.

"This war" did not divide our country. Our country has been divided for 30 years. I think most Americans would like the Iraq occupation to end, the question is how to do it. Most "dialog" on the topic is all about blame, recriminations, and attacks, include this thread. Just look at the jackass glassgowkiss for a prime example. In any case, back to the topic at hand. I don't think the war in Iraq is the primary cause for our higher gas prices and cost of living - it's about the dynamics of the evolving world economoy, peaking of gas supplies/production, and shifting trade dynamics, and our lifestyle. How will we address these moving forward? By harping continually on the war in Iraq and Bush, and namecalling? Please. hey asseyes- first step to fixing things is to admit that mistakes were made and analyze them- something this administration is still not willing to do. btw there is big difference between making a mistake and acting in a bad faith, which in a case of this administration we are talking the second option. it's not name calling you politically correct bastard- it's saying how it is. and by casting your vote for this group of people 4 years ago and now whining about it makes you simply a cunt.

and which administration is pushing it right back in?are we talking Reagan or bush? i think this administration did everything possible to reverse the gains from the early 90's in central europe. as well as undermining every military alliance us had.

what? what are you trying to say?

yes, after reading your shit i must admit your are most definitely one of them......

the tests done by BD some time ago showed that strength of the screw depends on the angle of the placement and the quality of the ice. also turns out that 13 cm screw held the same as 17cm. one might argue that the energy absorption by the screamer is achieved by lengthening of the fall, hence not real energy absorption is happening.

you voted for him, didn't you? so stfu cunt now. you lost your right to speak on this topic whinny beotch. letting bush win once - maybe you can call it a mistake. let him win twice- plain stupidity!

Think biofuels and corn prices. think all time high budget deficit, think currency in a gutter 2 wars (with no end) and pretty much most of the production moved to your friendly china. do you think corn or biofuels have anything to do with this? btw- during this administration there was the biggest single increase in government hiring in the past 50 years! how do you explain 18billions a week on a war nobody can win!

This was published several times in magazines. this pole is kind of silly.

Last weekend it was t-shirt climbing in the sun!

i don't know what gives you this idea? granted there is still some snow on north side of the Chief on some ledges, however freezing levels are waaaay above 2000m!

maybe your mom is into this kind of shit. that would explain your behavior asseyes !

yeah, you are one of them

Rudy, one more thing. your thinking is friggin selective. a lot of photos posted here on this site are posted without author's consent (violating copyright laws). second, i am sure you as most of the posters here obtain permission to shoot pictures abroad, in the native language, right? so get off your high horse. it reminds me a friend of my (aspiring photographer) who was explaining in detail, how important it is to obtain permission to take a picture. yet when in china he was shamelessly shoving lens of his camera into locals faces without any communication (even he said so). total double standard. i am sure simon and his hippie girly always asks abroad about taking pictures in the native language of the country- NOT.
