  1. $60!!!! fuck!!!! when is it going to end. lasportiva sells a pair of flip-flops for like 35. mec rules!
  2. not only you are full of shit, but you are a moron. big fucking deal, you were hit from behind and nothing happened to you (keep checking your back for a couple of weeks, since the whiplash doesn't usually kick in for about week or two). so the dolt was talking on a cell, like every other asshole around seattle area. try to punch the guy and you will go for an assult, pull the piece and you'll do the time for attemted murder. what is a big deal with fender-benders? you are lucky anyway, i am working with a woman, who was dancing tango with a semi- truck.
  3. courtenay, good point. same with pt's or md. homework is the key to any recovery. also few more things. the excercises or stretches should never cause any pain, burning, numbness or pins&needles sensations. so if they do, stop and ask if they can get adjusted to your condition. you should not be sore from the treatment (chiro or massage) for more then 48 hours. if you have a chronic condition learn to recognize your symptoms before a major flear-up. usually your body will let you know before it starts breaking down. it's much easier to treat an injury before it is a full blown pain/inflammation cycle with the excercises you should have some changes within 1 week. if you don't, they are not the one you should be doing. if you go to massage therapist they should be able to access any tissue within 15 minutes. if they don't they are not accessing the right tissue. i know i am going to catch flack from other practitioner, but this is my opinion on this subject matter.
  4. tres hardly forms, maybe this year? how do i get to red wall wonders, i tried to find it once and i couldn't. maybe it wasn't there? any betta? is tres visible from the road high on the right side of the canyon (forgot the name of that creek)?
  5. dale, i just think that syncro is not that good of a route. i did some good wi3/4. i just don't think it's that good of a line. shreek i thought was much, much better. so was loose lady. but that's just my opinion. as far as shreddie, yeah grades don't mean shit, i know. i have never seen this thing form to the ground. nor the theft. is shreddie climbed as mixed then? when i saw some ice on shreddie i thought it looks pretty tough for wi5 or 5+, but then again i am a wanker. i think there are only 2 real grades on ice. something i can do and somethin i will not get on... as far as the theft i thought if it keeps getting bigger might go and check if it would go as mixed. dru- the ice on yak was for real, there was no snow on it at all. yak crack looked really good as ice climb, i shit you not. there were several good looking lines before revelstoke. most likely they just get burried in snow later in the season. also around roggers pass!!!!! i was going to drive back there, but then it started snowing. all of these lines are under big avalnche slopes, but man, talking about some big ice!! some of these routes were like 200m high and steep! anyway i am convinced now that early season is the way to go.
  6. so was shreddie climbed this year already??
  7. btw, as i was driving by yak early nov there was ice everywhere. i mean there were at leat 100 ice climbs between hope and golden. most of the ice on yak was looking easy, but yak crack looked very interesting with ice on it. dru, i though shreddie was 5+. anyway, don't get it why people pop a big wood over synchro. i mean what is a big deal about a 2 pitch wi3+? synchotron looks way better. and loose lady is way more fun to climb, specially if it is thin.
  8. if you see how the cam is retracted it would be hard to cut any of the part off and still have functional unit. but what do i know...
  9. shining wall (g4) by kurtyka-schauer and south face of k2 by kukuczka-piotrowski.
  10. pm me for a tel. don't have enough time to explain over the net. easy fix anyway.
  11. hardly! he is right. look at jim beyer. that guy has fitness level of a grehound bus driver.
  12. Sounds like someone's been missing the weekly visit to the back alley proctologist! Power != Style. Never has, never will. fuck off, what is your hardest rp? 10a ? show me best climbers lacking power? your statement just shows how lame the climbing secene is in wa state (or wherever the fuck you are sizzlechest). newsflash-80's are over, stop smoking dope and start training
  13. you still don't get it, don't you. it means, that if you have guns you can get up on anything in style. and that's why you need power to burn. and maybe that's why huber did a couple of the routes in the mountains like Shievling or orge, routes you will never have a chance to get on as you lack the discipline and power.
  14. heavy petting zoo ?? who is providing velcro gloves and high boots?
  15. i wouldn't call that a problem . just a training regime
  16. i didn't go to the ice fest, so i can't answer that. i think i made a mistake, it is above a left hand line, long easy ice flow, usually wet, to a WI3 finish and a big, big tree. you can see that cliff above from the road, can't miss that one.sorry about the confusion, it was some time ago since i climbed in rambles area.from the big tree belay you can see the cliff thriugh the trees and it takes about 15-20 minutes to hike up there.
  17. something like that. they are very good routes btw.
  18. easy mixed routes. hey i just remember. above right hand "Rambles" back in 98 or 99 i did a couple of very cool pitches. after you finish righ line "Rambles" go up hill for about 20 minutes. there is another cliff with at least 3 lines. there was a very skinny "cigar" on the left side of that cliff. initial 5 m pour over a cave and during fa was maybe 30cm across at the base. "Polish Sausage" WI5 PG, 20m. don't sneaze, might fall off (if you know what i mean). rap off a big block at the top (double sling left in place) to the right of that line there are another lines (about 20m down the slope). there are several crack systems (good granit, natural pro). there are 2 mixed lines, in a true polish fassion mixed. bring set of cams, kb's, la or two stoppers and short screws. both are about 25m long and are about M4/M5 (depends how much ice). use a tree (sling left) to lower off. have fun!
  19. wtf ? isn't it "non technical climbing" called scrambing or hiking? . try to contact Chris Koziarz, he was there last month. check lonely planet guide, there is a lot of info there (about hiking).
  20. btw, for all of you wankers out there. areal boundries is in, for the first time since 1993!!!, so is ice-t. now go do it or i am calling your shit. if you don't do them you are just a bunch of sprayers.....none of that cascade, left weeping wall polar circus will count for shit. i am drunk as hell right now, so i don't give rat's fuck what you think about me cunts
  21. some of you had a chance to meet me in person . met kirk hammet from metallica. had a beer with lemmy from motorhead back in 86. fucker is crazier then i.
  22. mental shortcut dru. yes, on pilot mountain. vapor trail, it was in too.
  23. terminator (after winter 85/86) was down only in the winter of 96/97. it was down earlier this winter- someone climbed earlier in nov. 10 years after was in and thick earlier- received nomerous ascents this season. la goute was in too. that is a very stout and nice line, too bad it has big avi slope above. earlier in nov (saw it on 17th) pilsner had to pillars touching down. there is huge slope above!!!! agree with someone- carlberg is not safe. talked to someone who was avalanched of it last winter. the leader was knoced down by the slide from the very top and took 12m ride. there are no trees for a reason! also on the approach this little slope produced a slide (i saw it in 96), wich broke trees about 10" in diamiter. as far as other "myth" safe climbs is whiteman. sure the climb is safe, but the approach canyon gets burried in the snow fall. and this is the precise reasons i do go there in early november. there is more ice and no snow. the picture of trophy wall shows sea of vapors is in and vapor trail too. looks like stuck in the middle is in the typical M7+ condition. there is also twisted and some mixed lines formed on mt stephen, so go and check it out before it melts out!
