Wild nice crew in the house.

I think they demonstrated any thread I post in is fair game.

It must be difficult keeping straight which avatar you are logged in under. Do you keep all the names and passwords in a spreadsheet?

You mean like someone who calls them self a climber but doesn't climb more than twice a week? John, go fuck yourself. Paul. Wow! Go to lunch and miss out! Paul: just because I scooped up Hannah before you could lose some weight and convince her how cool you are in lieu of the fact you interact with people more online than in the real world doesn't mean you gotta hate on me.

Right on right on. I started my M-F in March and found I had way more free time than I did in grad school so I kinda went crazy. Climbed every weekend with the exception (had to move) of 3 during that time period. Good stuff. I definitely know if I was in Seattle I would have put less on the but still a small price to pay for quality climbing in WA.

I was until last week. Since it's now 3 hrs to Yosemite..... Lucky bastard.

You mean like someone who calls them self a climber but doesn't climb more than twice a week? NOLSe, you are a very funny guy. You seem have these bizarre standards and ethics that have nothing to do with reality. If I up my climbing to three times a week, do I get the special NOLSe "Official Real Climber" certificate for my resume? Nope. But if you climb the girth pillar you can find some biners.

When I don't have to drive 700 miles to get there? Sorry... thought you were in PDX after you expressed some interest.

When are you coming out to drytool night? Or would that put you over quota?

You mean like someone who calls them self a climber but doesn't climb more than twice a week?

You mean like posting/calling people out under multiple anonymous avatars?

Define regularly. And where are you alpine climbing?

Over 40K from March to Dec. last year on my … lots of oil changes. Even more suck is some of my partners can't drive a stick (d00kie!)... From 16-20 when I was living in Eugene I put 225K on a rabbit (sold the car at 325K miles!) driving to climb in OR almost exclusively (lots of trips to smith). Roughly 50K a year!

If you are carrying stuff check out the grivel manu. Good small pack that climbs well; chest harness is integrated into shoulder straps and removable. I don't ice climb with it but use it a lot in the summer. http://www.grivel.com/

750' short on Davis. If you think the approach cliffs are bad enjoy the descent. Across the street looked good.

I can no longer do Wednesday nights due to work commitments so I’m moving the weekly session to Tuesday… next session is this Tuesday Feb 8th 3:30ish – pump. If you would like a second session let me know. Please PM me if you are planning on attending and what, if any, gear you need to borrow. Newbies are welcome and encouraged.

Not necessarily the last great problem but possibly applicable: Get after this thread Mox info OR last great problem West face of Matterhorn Other examples abound.

Yes... slung just like a large hex.

I'll buy you a new one... your choice.

Headed out of town tonight; I can't make it this week. Regardless I encourage those of you who can still make it to go. Ivan: do you want to organize? Sorry to ditch last minute!

Anybody have a trad partner in Texas willing to swing pitches? I'll buy s Thanks for all the info so far!

No one, especially me, said anywhere that my opinion on windshirts (or anything for that matter... routes... ratings... etc) is more correct or valuable than anyone else that contributed just because I slung gear in a gear shop for a few years or spent some time in the back country. It would be asinine to believe such; compared to most users on this page I am still a newbie. Anything I or any user posts on this page is merely my opinion… nothing more, nothing less. I only offered my opinion to DrC… he has every right to consider or reject it just as each of you can also do. That’s how the gear critic is suppose to work. With that said choosing to personally attack me instead of offering your alternate opinion is fucking weak. If you can’t stand my post tone or content use the ignore user feature; it’s what it is there for. And if my climbing experience is so hollow why is it that you feel so threatened that you feel the need to personally attack me? The race is long and in the end it’s only with yourself. See you in the mtns. JPF

And I'm out.

1 of them is Ade's and I dropped 2.
