  1. yeah, but i liked this 1h 40 min drives to the climbs. leave b-ham at 6, climb some steep ice and back to town just in time for a happy hour.
  2. picked up my copy just in time to watch the ice melt away. anyway nice to see it. the only comment i'd have is that too many pics makes it a bit hard too read at first. but that's just my opinion.
  3. now that info might not be correct since i have heard Dave Leahy climbed on Summalo Bluff (Buszowski route) on sat.
  4. kit couldn't climb out of you mama's bed if he wanted to. the guy needs a hand cart to wheel his gut around.
  5. now let's talk proper shep shagging technique: 1 put thir hind legs into you high boots- hence they can't buck 2 use you vecro glover for better grip 3put them at the edge of the cliff, harder you push- harder they push back
  6. dale, i thikn it's the matter of what you get used to. i love my darts, i think it's the best ice crampon. very light. i also like sabertooth. i think they are the best all around crampon out there. and Don, once you get used to it sidelock is not any harder then any other rapid fix system.
  7. to whoever wrote this piece of shit all i can say: get off them drugs. i know nothing, but it fucks up you brain.
  8. just don't go on trips with people you don't know. specially from this web site. and even someone can climb your personalities will not match which can make for a very long trip. for me the best partners are people who can climb hard and have the same sick sense of humor.
  9. as soon as it gets good for ice climbing around here it turns warm! after climbing in sw bc last 2 weekends i must say if it stayed cold long enough we would be ice climbing mecca (sw bc and western wa). did some quality ice, one could compare to the best routes in the rockies. this rain shit sucks though. and it's going to last long enough it will melt it all to shit. btw i can't believe how sore i am after climbing 9 pitches of ice over the weekend, i guess i am getiing old
  10. why in the hell didn't you drive to hope?
  11. yeah, tagged another car at the Plum parking lot (sheep shag). btw i don't envy these mofo's on the pc valentine. we saw their headlamps waaay high at 6:30 pm
  12. plum had to see a lot of traffic last week. it also had less ice on the last pitch compared to the pic from your trip. also a gaping hole spewing water at the base of the steep part. last night climb was turning to slurpie..... fuck!
  13. no, nothing like that. just read your pm
  14. nothing really to talk about, just took our packs for a walk.
  15. well, so far for cold weather. but i am fucking tired after last weekend. some quality climbing.
  16. today 01.14.2005 @ 1:15 pm Piotr Morawski and Simone Moreo summited on Shisha Pangma- FWA. wind was up to 125km/h. congrats! and no, frenchies do not get credit for FWA
  17. i don't think it will be all that bad if it lasts only a couple of days. but if it lasts longer it will turn to shit again in no time. i just hope alpine routes start shaping up. cold snap after warm front! now that would be worth it.
  18. as usual, next week weather forecast calls for warm conditions with rain. most likely last chance for low elevation ice is this weekend.
  19. yea, but you need to get to it on boat? wanted some ideas for routes for the next couple of weeks. mr freeze was not wi6 for sure. just training for the rockies.
  20. churning is good 12a if you have it wired. dreaming is easy and not that scary. the slab is 10a/b at most. and if you want to see real run out route go to elbsanstein or czech sandstone.
  21. so what is the hardest route in this area anyway?
  22. canada is not my country yet. soon though....
  23. you should tell this guy to get off the drugs. like 12 hours of warm weather is going to melt the ice???!!! like i said- town full of wankers.
  24. b-ham is lame. town full of wankers, only looking for excuses. 2" of snow fall down and the whole town shuts down. 3 days later people still drive with chains on doing 15 mph in a 55 zone- straight insanity. seattle is just an overgrown village with no real culture and driving there sucks. and most of the climbing in the n. cascades in wa is just low angle chossy/mossy hikes. move to canada son
