"Holy shite dood, I think that's Fred Beckey over there!"

Shit Cracked, all this time I guess I have been riding on my monoski sideways. Thanks for posting that awesome picture.

Reverso, does everything a ATC does and more. Handles skinny ropes just fine too.

I was at a experimental film showing one night. One of the film was this woman having a baby. When I saw the babies head crowning, I let out a loud GACK!!! and about lost my dinner. Everybody in the place turned and looked at me, needless to say I couldn't watch the rest, for fear it might ruin my sex life. Crowning, hopefully never see that again.

Shhweet

Ok what the hell or where the hell is Tilly Jane??????

It seem more likely than not I get a ton of crazy bullshit popping up instead of the thread I want. What gives???

Good to hear the ice is still hanging in there. Have to amke another trip up there soon and enjoy some more Lillooet ice. Thanks for posting Don. Cheers

I have been using this way of tying in for years now. It is easy and not bulky at all.

But do you got zero, the trade show issue that never went to stands? It is really sweet no ads what-so-ever.

Yeah that is going to be a rad show. Yo BP I was playing Amon Tobin last time I gave you a ride up to the mountain.

dude. sauna = steam. steam = boiling. boiling = 100C. Dude. He said the sauna was heated to 100C. That would roast your skin. not necessarily. in the army they did tests where they heated soldier volunteers at like 200C for two hours trying to get them to pass out etc. if you reach 100c at a slow rate of increase your skin has time to adjust (sweating etc). There is no freaking way I am getting into a sauna at 100 degrees C. I use to go to this place that had Finnish style suanas (wood burning) and they were hot, 160 degrees F. Most electric sauna will get up to 120 F, gas ones hotter. I find 140 F pretty comfortable, but a lot of people I know that sauna regularly find 140 F pretty hot. The heating source I can see getting to 100 C. Sauna does not equal steam it equals dry heat. Steam in a sauna is only periodic and it is generated right at the heat source.

We can start by banning the one that has all the answers, that would be sure to make things a little more disorganized.

I think it is more like a seat belt, yeah it might help save your life in a accident, but there is no garantee that it will.

Right in town there is Mission Gorge there is some climbing there, not that good though 1-2p routes for the most part bolted. Then there are a ton of manufactured bouldering and climbing areas under the express ways. Up in Santee there is some bouldering, have been able to find it though. There is a Sport crag south of Rosarito near the ocean very short approach there was a mini-guide published in R&I. South of Ensenada there is Pico de Diablo good alpine rock lines there with cool views down to the Sea of Cortez. There is Toro Blanco has long aid and free lines, very sketchy area though a lot of drug running and cultivation going on in that area. There is the standard that were already mentioned J-tree and Tahquitz. Alpine bouldering above Palm Spring tram approach, check Climbing I think they did an article on that area. No alpine that I can think of right nearby.

I don't know Icegirl, even with the small turnout I really enjoyed myself. It was good to hang and talk to a few people, that night it happened to be MattP and Gary mainly. It is a bit of a sausagefest, but I don't really show up to pick up on women, I show up to have a beer and talk about climbing mainly and whatever else, beer and conversation and sometimes make plans for the weekend. As for including theatrics of dancing girls, wet T contest, or having it at Hooters to increase the numbers I would probably wouldn't show up cause that is not what it is about for me. Those sort of tactics are best saved for a party. That is what we should do. This week we would have been great for a bonfire and beer at Golden Gardens.

I know I am splitting hairs here, but. ....Jump turns like the way Josh describes, you are linking turns and using the fall line to move. If your skis are perpendicular to the fall line you should take your ass to some easier terrain. It does piss me off though when I see snowboarders side slipping, one, it ruins the terrain and two, it give skiers something to bitch about and end up lumping all snowboarders in that group. As for skiers not being able to side slip that's bull, I see them out there, granted not as smooth and paved as a snowboarder, but IMO makes the slope worse (beginning stages of crud) than a snowboarder, unless the boarder scrapes off all the snow and leaves ice, which eventually happen to some tracks. As for being envious on crud days, crud is still hard on a snowboard. The day you should be envious are those powder days where you can surf the slope, or spring carving day where it is fast and only turning where there are turns in the trail, or a good bump day, or you know what I guess all the time. Snowboarding rocks, speaking from of the experience of an ex-alpine skier, ex-pinhead, and ex-XC skier, it's the bomb. I agree with your last statement skiers need something to bitch about I guess, probably because skiing just isn't good enough.

Blah blah blah. Come on can't we all just get along. Seriously, there are good riders and there sucky riders, there are good skiers and there are sucky skiers. I have seen just as many skiers destroy a beautiful powder line by side slipping and doing hockey stop jump turns. David to answer question, yeah boarders can do jump turns, but in my opinion skiers and boarders doing jump turns and going perpendicular to the slope do just as much damage to a powder line as side slipping. And jump turns as you described is not really linking turns and you're not really skiing when you are doing that. I look at skiing and boarding happens when you are sliding on you base. As far as the commitment part in making turns in tight chutes, I think it is harder on a board. I feel like accelleration much faster on a board, which makes it scarier, thats my opinion.

I don't know about that Dave. The south side is definitely rocking, but that run we had right under the Arrowhead rock was shweet. Just didn't stay really steep long enough, but definitely steeper than the south side.

Hey BP, I swung BR last week after the movie to have a beer withcha, but the doorman wanted a 5 spot to let me in. I skipped, definitely want to catch up with you sometime. If for some reason the Mods have banned you then or making it a pain contact me through e-mail ken4ord@yahoo.com. K

Aww come on, PBR taste just like all that Canadia swill.

Dude nice report, it was fun climbing with you and Dave. We'll definitely have to go up and climb some of those other lines up there. Dave where is some of your shots, can't wait to see them. Oh yeah Pax, by the way the picture of the top of the route was of the two guys that came up after us, it would have been very difficult for me to be in that picture, while setting up the rappel below you while you shot that picture . Dude you shouldn't smoke so much crack. To a great weekend, a beer for each of us and one for Dottie.

Jeremy Jones is way hardcore snowboarder. Beside Half Dome there a ton of other difficult first descent all over the place that he has done. I agree the quote is sort of stupid, but he definitely deserves respect for pulling off shit that most people can't even fathom.

There are a few. First multi-pitch climb, I was climbing with a buddy head was leading all the pitches. Craig would get to the end of a pitch and yell off belay. I would take him off, and he would pull up all the slack. Then I would start climbing and about 25(+) I would hear your on belay. It didn't really register until I was up about 5 pitches that I wasn't on belay until Craig said I was. This spring on Raineer I was caught in a white out with out a tent and only with a summer bag up on Lib Cap. I spent a very cold night shivering out in the open with all my clothes on. Thank gawd that only went on for a day, I figured I was good for 3 but I really didn't want to find out. Another time soloing Solar Slab in Red Rocks. I got up through the first initial pitches no problem up to the big ledge. Then I started up the corner above. About 250 feet I realized that I was on another route and not sure how hard it was. I had three options continue into unknown terrain, downclimb, or traverse to the actual route. I decided to traverse. Definitely my scariest solo about halfway across things started getting ugly. First it started snowing, then the holds were becoming quite frail. I got to a point were I could climb back the way I came and all the hold were shit. Eventually I made to the route with a huge sigh of relief. Those are probably the scariest moments.

He wouldn't have gotten out of the crevasse without that rope. Well he knew that he wasn't feeling Simon at the other end, if he would have left it hanging up through the opening at least there would be a chance of Simon seeing the line and looking for him. Eventually he needed the rope though once he decided he was going to try and get out.
