I do remember that... just not the name If locks is your game you need to get to Trout Creek... or come with me to Idaho and I will introduce you to some real alpine titties

I don't know about the rest of you but unless a pitch was tits amazing chances are I won't remember it... and even if it was I am more likely to remember something about the route/pitch like what gear or the moves or something instead of the name of the route. Good example is though I have climbed at smith a little over a decade now including a great portion of my late teens I still can't remember the names of some climbs or if I have done them. Maybe I'm just getting old

2 long thin KBs 1 #3 LA 1 #4 LA (or equivalent shallow angle or Z pin) 2 1/2 angles 2 5/8 angles* 1 3/4 angle* 1/2 set of stoppers (emphasis on mid-range size) 6 cams from 1 - 3" 2 large hexs (or equivalent cams) screws, spectar? runners, screamers ballpark no more than 50 biners (lockers, etc etc) total for the team *for granite routes don't bother w/ angles larger than 5/8" *for limestone routes don't bother w/ angles larger than 3/4" disclaimer: mileage will vary; adjust as route and/or individual dictate Sean Issac, Will Gadd, and Mark Twight all offer rack recommendations in their respective book. Extreme alpinism is required reading for winter alpine IMO.

How hot is it there in say April or May or now?

Hmmm... How many months of the year can you climb ice in Canmore? Now how many months of the year can you climb in JT? Could it be that some months that you can go to JT you can't go to Canmore? Hmmm...

Last time I checked ice climbing girls tend to spend the evening drinking beer in the hot tub. Have fun sitting around the fire with Mr E talking about some girl you saw the day before and how the biners on her quickdraw were facing the same way

come to canmore

Sounds like primo conditions for a new routes on shiprock

Funny... I consistently get the same response about the one over my bed

DonnV was kind enough to get me a photo that has prompted me to wait a bit... I'd be keen to go as soon as this next cycle passes though... give me a shout

Distance please... I need to dial mine in

Do you have a strike attachment on your viper? If so can you measure the distance from where your pinkie would rest against the lower pinkie guard to where your pinkie would rest against the strike attachment? A pic showing from where to where you measured would be great if possible. TIA

Word to the wise: being that powderhound lives in Bozeman, MT hooking him up with a party/etc etc would likely guarantee you a free place to stay or at least a solid beta source for the next time you head to hyalite. Just a thought...

Can leave PDX at ~9:30 Tuesday night. Would like to meet at tline for car shuttle. Also would like to keep the rope use to a minimum.

Do you need a ticket to get in? If so can I get them online or over the phone?

Forget the parties let's go climbing turd
