No prob Daniel... just bring some headlamps (and beater ropes if you have them) and we can get after it Ivan: medicate

I predict catbirdseat will attempt to answer this but will fall flat on his face as analytical chemists can't do thermo

No it was really listed as "5.8d" in the guidebook... I found out the d was for "old school scary hard wide crack that will eat you especially if it is snowing"

I lead a 5.8d at city of rocks last month... almost pooped my pants

Yeah... it might be possible but doubtful. You are the first climber I have ever met that loves trad but doesn't know how hard they can climb. I would say default to the hardest thing you have led. Seems fair...

My bad. Still... my original question stands... how can you love trad climbing if you don't know how hard you climb?

You said here you don't own any No fair stealth editing!

Wow! Chaps really chapped your ass today

Get in line

I have one or two laying around You, on the other hand Mr. "I care because climbing is something special, and I don't like to people degrading it by posting on a website about climbing with all this B.S." don't own one. You do, however, think you can climb 13b trad. Perhaps your advice is best suited for yourself

Every week. A pic of your C4 camalot might answer some questions about how much you actually climb... you've already demonstrated how much you can spray.

Post pic of #1 C4 camalot and I'll talk PS: gym climbing isn't climbing

chili dog what?

Post a pic of your #1

Based on this discussion I nominate thee for king fluffer Post a TR when you take your C4 #1 outside the gym

How would you even know what hard is? You don't even know your limit...

How can trad be your favorite type of climbing to the point you know which piece you are most fond of but you don't know how hard you climb outside?

I got plenty of tools to go around. Only bring your rope if it has been demoted to "top rope status" as the potential for abuse is great... Edit: oh yeah... Tuesday the 25th.

How many of those posts are related to climbing?

If temps hold I was thinking about a run up the north face on Wed night... if the temps crap out I can dry tool. Not sure if people have the time and/or experience for the north face so I hesitate to invite just anyone for this Wednesday night. If you are interested shoot me a pm or email.

Tonight as in Monday? I can't dt tonight Are you going to be there Tuesday?

Next session: 10/24/05 4pm(ish) - whenever... if you can't get there until 5:30 it's okay just make sure to tell me so I know you are coming Make sure to bring a headlamp... the days are getting short so we will likely climb after dark. A thermos of hot something might be in order also. As always let me know if you are coming so I can bring enough top ropes: 541.231.2062

Quit posting pics or I'm gonna come poach all the good lines
