Anybody know about these boots? I can't find anything on Black Diamond or Scarpa websites about them. What niche are they trying to fill? I saw them at Marmot, and heaven forbid someone would actually help a guy out.

When has quality been a concern?

Is there any new info?

Is he into canine porn too? Bwahahahaha!!!

I led 5.9 once. It was scary... If you led more sport routes you wouldn't be scared and you wouldn't still be leading 5.9 Your call. No way, I'm just a 4th Class master of mayhem now...Classic Crack gives me nightmares and I break out in a cold sweat.

Classy AND witty! Nice, bro.

Gotta good post-holiday drunk going, there, nonanon?

I was thinking, "Bill Shakespeare takes a trip."

This is as bad as the "reeling in a leader fall" thread.

I've also been told to get a shovel with a metal blade. Of course, I was told this AFTER I bought one with a plastic blade.

Yeah, if Krak-head wrote the story, he would have villified Simpson for taking so long to crawl all that way and declared Yates a hero for being back at camp sleeping in his tent.

This is the stupidestest thing I've ever heard of, besides sportclimbing.

Oh, yeah, the sock!!! Although, at the holidays, I call it the 'battery-filled STOCKING', just to be festive. Feliz Navidad, beyotches!!!!

That's what I got out of that response letter.

Shit is kinda lame on the old Spray board. Let's create some chaos...aw, fuck, I just don't have it in me. Oh, well, at least I tried. That's more than I can say for you fucks. Jim, go hug a fucking tree, you bitch! Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!

You get to more lakes quicker via Snow Lakes. Plus, you hit the plateau right at Lake Vivianne which is at the base of Prusik - most beautiful spot, man. There are more, and better, views as you go up the Snow Lakes Trail than there are going up to Colchuck lake.

Kiwi, Depending on where you are going think about going in via Snow Lakes. I prefer it over Asgard Pass if heading in to Prusik and it's the same mileage. Just a thought; I know lots of gapers on this board think Asgard is the only way to go, but it's not. Roark

Found another plan...have fun out there.

One idea a friend of mine came up with to carry a p&s safely, is to use a mid-sized chalkbag. Most of them are somewhat padded and already have clip-in points and a drawstring.

Carpool options?

Rodchester, I read the post as having to do with Alpental's lease agreement with the USFS. My understanding, though limited, is that the ski area leases the land (or acquires a use permit) in order to operate. I figured that the ski area was going to modify their agreement with the USFS to close off this area in winter. Or, are they no longer willing to provide avalanche or rescue personnel to that area? It's their parking lot, right? Who fucking knows.

It's tension, because sportclimbing isn't...
