"... start hiking north, out into some remote area of Canada where you are welcome to try building your own economy of hunting, gathering and perhaps farming." hey poopbrain, last time i looked canada has the third largest oil supply in the world, they have largest diamond mines outside of south africa, better medical system. also last time i looked you have to pay $1.10 for 1 canadian dollar.

what i hate about these programs are 2 things: -they treat people like morons and cater to the lowest most common denominator -the recycle through the same shots over and over in the span of the same segment.

calgary, however the process takes about 12-24 months.

shitfeather- you also should shut the fuck up.

i don't have one (green card). that leaves you with your dirty ass- just like your mom- beyotch!

look, for one pitch ice routes you don't need them. as the matter of fact it will be safer for you not to have them in case you fall.

I like Will and I know he didn't have much to say about this program in post. However after watching it I must give it two thumbs down.

Get new guidebook for red rocks. a lot of moderate longer routes went up. we did a climb called Birdland. 6 pitches of 5.7, bolted belays, set up for raps with 70m rope! also in arizona there are 2 places to visit about 1h30min outside of Flagstaff. they are called The Pit and Jacks Canyon. Bolted limestone with a lot of routes in 10 and 11 range. a mix bag of ratings- some give-aways, some not so much. the great thing about these places is that the camping is free for now. bring your water though!

canada.

but his dick goes to 11

hey shitfeather- get your head out of your ass- i think you are getting high on fumes from your own turd! you are just one dumb fuck.

tool shed at baker ski area.

this is some funny shit! looks like this guy is from spinal tap! maybe his dick goes to 11?

no real climbing gym. the drive to squamish or index is at least 2 hours (mostly due to slow pieces of shit, who can't drive worth a fuck), 9 mo of rain a year (yeah, it pretty much rained every weekend this summer). for ice you have to drive up to BC- at least 3 hours! anyway- as soon as we can move- we are out of here!

1.Lead on route, then you lower and block 2 routes with your stupid top-rope! 2. you chuck a rope from above without warning (actually loud enough, so people below can hear!) 3. talk on the cell phone while belaying (even if it's top-rope!) 4.aid on popular free routes for hours. 5.have multiple top-ropes blocking several routes. 6.you are in MY WAY

I am a bit confused upon reading the guidebook: 1 is "Hit and Run" pretty much the same route as "Air Care", but going 5 meters higher to the top of the cliff? (and if so, why name the same route twice?) 2. is "Fender Bender" pretty much the left side of Icy BC? or is there another pillar between "Air Care" and "Icy BC"?

looks almost the same as the route Steve Swenson and I did about 10 years ago. it was winter, but it pretty much was exactly the same. I remember a quite steep (vertical) buttress, just to the right of us. Can't comment on crack- since most of the stuff was snowed up, however Steve placed a fair number of cams on pitch 1 for protection. I am quite sure we had our second belay on the same tree (the pitches we did were quite long- as I remember). Steve was quite sure this line was climbed before. anyway- imo i would not claim any "new" lines on this peak

http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/CABC0045 looks like more cold on the way!

sorry to burst your bubble, but what you are saying doesn't make any sense. Patagonia, along with BD, Metolius (except harnesses and cams), Mammut and even Alpinist relocated their production to China. Hmm- maybe you can explain to me how does it fit into your "feel good"theory? these items are produced in exact same factories as the good that end up in wallmart! let me remind you that workers in china are paid pennies per hour and the environmental regulations are faaar more lax compared to those in the us. so how does it fit into "environmentally friendly" category? I buy from Feathered Friends and I have a lot of Wild Things gear. but let's face it- patagucci isn't producing their stuff in the US anymore.

oh give me a fucking brake! anyone producing their shit in china or in se asia and are claiming they are for the environment are bunch of liers!

after looking through the latest issue of the patagonia catalog I must say: 1. prices of outdoor gear are out of control 2. a lot of gear is just crap only good enough to wear on the street. really pisses me off that my most favorite activity is turning into sport for rich and famous, not exactly the crowd i want to hang out with. discuss

german movie "The Experiment", "Finding Kitty" and "Hard Candy" are the best 3 movies I have seen so far this year.

Oooh! I'm so hurt! All that anger and insult because someone doesn't appreciate your favorite bolt-raped piece of choss! (By the way, when did you become an expert on my life?....what?...you aren't?...you don't have a clue!... I suggest you tone it down a bit...and while you're at it, if you're going to cite my real name as you did above somewhere, I suggest that you come out from behind your cubicle and use YOUR real name). If you fully understood the bolting polemic, then perhaps you'd understand the nature of my comments. I'm glad you have fun out at Exit 38...have at it...the place is ruined and in my opinion, it's a disaster.....I'd have more respect for it (and a lot of other smaller crags) if people would settle for top-roping these cute little routes rather than using it as a stepping stone from the gym to rampant bolting elsewhere. You can disagree if you like....others certainly do. P.S. So...what's your real name, "Lucky"? Come forth or sit down! And by the way, "expert", that's not even my photo...nope...and those aren't "hamburgers", they're "B_LT's". If you knew your cc.com history, you'd know that a couple of years ago, some of the bolt-drillin' folks here were paranoid that THE MAN might be monitoring cc.com and discover (SHOCKING!!!) that not everyone approved of bolting so in order to continue the discussion, some such folks resorted to using the term "B_LT" to thwart THE MAN and his insidious attempts to "google" the word "bolt" and learn the truth. I'm still laughing! "you one stupid fuck" can sum up your spew. what do bolts at some crag have to do with west face of k2? can you for once stay on topic? or are you just incapable of any logical thinking?

#1.chisselchest we are not talking about loosing freedom, but about stupid ass comment by stupid president. #2.asswipe- this administration is a complete failure as far as securing the coutry. do you know, that new EU countries are still required visas for the citizens to enter united states (like Czech republic, poland, baltic republics), while saudis are on visa waiver program? so how is it making our borders safer? i didn't see poles, mexicans or czechs flying airplanes into buildings! no, they were saudis/. #3. this administration is selling tis country to china- the biggest lender of the money to the us government. let me brake news to you- china is not a democracy. it's an ugly communist regime. something i know myself waaay more then you. so shut the fuck up you stupid fuck and don't tell me i am leftist.

yeah, i am sure you could check yourself about fixed lines?! i am sure you send a bunch of hard alpine routes on high peaks. get off your high horse and from behind your computer and show us how it's done. for all you complainers i must say- you can go up there and show how it's done. when you are sucking air your focus is on not loosing your fingers not on some fixed lines (that only a handful of people will ever see first hand).
