Boy am I glad that Pink discovered animated .gifs CC.com will never be the same.

I have an old Forrest Mjollinor and a Grivel Rambo straight shaft. Oh, and GOOGLE: Link for the Thor another at Spadout

push it out a week and I won't plan to climb at Index that day.

I doubt it. Index is known for pig heads and bolt/grease wars. It also has one of the burliest belays evar on GNS. Last tiem I was up there, I found a trail of MGD cans leading to Private Idaho, keeping up another important Index tradition.

You bitches owe me a beer.

Back in the 1970's it was a first knuckle pinky crack all the way. Then Kit Lewis did the whole thing via lie back (in Galibier Super Guides). He pulled so hard on the edge of the crack that it actually opened up to its current hand-jam size (and is now 5.8+).

The first bit is thin and rated .10a to the intermediate anchor below the bouldery .11a move

It's always a great day for bacon.

I will drink beer and talk shit. Wenizzit?

your mom, calling out my name.

There's a ton of shows, but... Pollstar

FA used pins, pins are ok.

I recently bought a DSLR and was shopping online. Preferred and a few others had really good prices, but I had never heard of them. One google search convinced me to go elsewhere. I'm all for googling any online retailer I haven't done business with. The internet makes it easier to take advantage of people, but it also makes it easier to bitch about people who have screwed you over.

The weather will be excellent since I can't go climbing.

On the other hand, we have had a lot of snow this year. The epic bushwhack could be covered. I recommend taking skis and checking out the scene from the side of the resort. You can see all the way to the sadlle and still walk back to you car to change gear. If it isn't covered, be prepared for an old-fashioned sufferfest. Bring some leather gloves for the devil's club belays.

Upper ridge: Come in via Ingalls and over Goat Pass. Bring approach shoes and aluminum crampons. You may gaiters to descend the Cascadian Couloir. Ice axe if you aren't comfortable on steepish snow Complete ridge: Stuart Lake IF the bergschrund on the Sherpa glacier is "passable". I don't know what passable means for you. After doing the complete N Ridge, I would want it to be pretty casual. Ice axe and crampons to descend. FYI - It can snow up there at any time. I was on the W Ridge in mid-July and encountered a storm that left 1/2 of rime on the rocks. I was on the North Ridge in August and it snowed over night and early morning. Bivy at the notch. It's one of the best bivy sites I've used. There probably won't eb any water. The complete North Ridge in a day is a bit of work. It's not for your average climber, but you don't have to be superman either. Route finding is pretty easy once you find the first pitches.

I couldn't let this go:

It's like two highschool kids getting together for a post-prom romp: Kind of awkward, neither side quite knowing what to do.

FYI - "Good Food" is a misnomer. At best, it's passable.

I will be purchasing one of those mofos as soon as they are available.

206 bitches I will post again after I've had a shit

Holy crap! Dave Schuldt climbs?

Now I can't sling the stuck cam like a chockstone. /sob/

That sounds like "south" to me.

I haven't been to the spires, but I was just up at the pass. There were patches of snow on the North Face of Burgundy Spire. Most were easy to avoid. I would bet that some of the flatter shady bits still have snow in them. Some of the routes may have wet spots.
