olyclimber

Buddha Ruska, in West Seattle. Good stuff.

Reminds me of Seinfeld episode about "Good Naked and Bad Naked".

I thought this would show up here sooner or later

I see a theme going here... Oh ya...and it's "oly" for Olympic Peninsula...not Olympia!

Nice meeting a bunch of folks. Great slides too.

This reminds me to the 4 point booty I found on my bumper.

Is this that Schultzy's place that we're headed to tonight?

Evidence please? You know I saw that one coming... Proves nothing! Any other officials there to verify? Yes, of course I do everything according to the speedclimbing rule book. There was this guy: And the guy in this photo holding the official timing device:

Evidence please? You know I saw that one coming...

Damn. Lucky bastard. Wonder what the story behind that is? Hmmm...right up by the border. Was the gear green?

Does is count when you find gear you forgot you had in your own basement?

Used Mountain Hardwear chapstick found hiking to Camp Muir in 5 hour car-Muir-car speed ascent.

I would expect first limiting factor you would experience from the cold would be the battery life. I've used my Canon S400 (uses compact flash) in temps well below freezing, and the only problem I have had is shorter battery life.

So sayeth Beckey in the '46 AAJ (not the War Edition):

That explains a lot. Yes...I've already started.

BFH: He posts on this board.

Anyone from West Seattle headed to the snausagefest? I need a ride.

Now that is how to lose! I'm proud of these guys.

another cc.com jewel.

Actually, I came across this bit of trivia in an AAJ from the 40s. There is also a nice little story about a Mt. Constance climbing accident by Norman Bright in the '43 AAJ.

Olympic Mountains Trivia Question- Who named Warrior Peak?

I've always had a strong pulse, and have never had frost bite/nip. In fact, I done plenty of climbing in leathers without really noticing the cold before, but for some reasons these boots that I thought would be toasty had my feet numb (they are a good fit and I wasn't wearing crampons). Anyway, thanks for the ideas with the inserts...I'm going to give that a try. Does anyone have Scarpa Alpha Ice boots? What do you think?

I'm looking for alpine use. I have a pair of La Sportiva Nepal Extremes, which I thought would be plenty for winter in the Cascades, but my feet got pretty cold last winter after spending a couple days on a glacier. I guess it could be just a circulation issue with my feet. The rest of my body was fine. The other reason I'm looking at plastics is that I can wear the liners when sleeping. I've never owned plastics, and so I'm not sure how much of an improvement as far as insulation rating they are compared to a boot like the Nepals. I also accidentally left my boots outside the tent last winter and had to thaw them out to get them back on my feet.

Yes. Thanks.

What are you wearing? My feet get cold easily, so I'm looking for some well insulated boots for use in winter alpine. What have you found to be the best combination as far as plastics with a liner? Anyone using the Intiuition liners? What shell?
