  1. Looking for a PRG partner for tonight, Wednesday and/or Thursday this week. 7:30 pm till you tap.
  2. Isnt a weekend trip considered cragging?
  3. CRAGGING: Jason Stuckey on the traverse pitches of the West Face Couloir on Mt Huntington, Alaska in March 2011 HUMOR: Dylan Johnson doing his best "a young Mark Westman" impersonation on the summit ridge of the Moose's Tooth, Alaska in April 2010. See pg 147 of Puryear's Alaska Climbing guidebook for the original

  5. I alternate between fish and plant oils to ensure my omega 3s and 6s are balanced which will both thin your blood but I've never had an issue at altitude... Then again oil doesnt exactly come with a warning label where as your prescription does... I'd ask Kevino on this board what he thinks
  6. Though not specifically ice screws new data supporting screamers from BD: Screamers?
  7. Optimum Sports Nutrition by Colgan is a good start
  8. Nice work dudes! One of the best in the cascades And yes for sure avoid the OW! Stay climbers right of it
  9. If they get 50% of the their proposed agenda completed in 2012 I will be very impressed.
  10. Nice work dudes! Let me say it: with the ample snowpack this would be an excellent year to do the girth pillar via the ice cliff and likely find it dry. Hint hint...
  11. ICE: Aaron Mulkey on pitch 4 of The Big Sleep Hyalite Canyon, WI5+/6- 4p Original TR here
  12. Buy the Newest, Lightest, Shiniest Gear Or You Could Die I'm not going to name any names
  13. :laf: Well done team. Next time car to car!
  14. 1st pitch is 3/3+... it doesnt need to be super fat as you can get really good rock gear (1/2-3/4" crack) on the right... as long as it hasnt delaminated I think you could get up it safely. We belayed the 1st 2 pitches (wee bit of simul to get second belay) and simul climbed the rest of the route. I could see belaying the last pitch to the ridge if the cornice is big but we didnt. Link to my TR: NW face
  15. Nice work guys... for sure a great route! Great to see others climbing it. But having climbed this route I gotta say you guys tilt the shit out of your photos! It is no where as steep as your photos make it look
  16. Talkeetna. Many thanks for efforts guys. Much respect
  17. Nice work kids. It was like that last year when I did it in late April :laf: Any pics of the first pitch of the NW face couloir?
  18. I'll be there tonight (7:30 pm) and could be talked into another session tomorrow. Call me dude!
  19. I actually PMed and climbed with Robert for a good portion of the winter. He works too much (are you reading this Robert?!?!) hence my request for additional partners
  20. I'm in Portland and always looking for weeknight PRG partners. If the PRG thing works and our outside climbing interests overlap I would be stoked to get out. I have trad experience and a respectable rack. Shoot me a PM.
  21. True story (so I'm told): Friend of a friend was on some el cap route and team above was dropping stuff on them at random. Biner. Nut. Etc etc. Annoying but nothing major. A day from the top dude is belaying and out of the blue LOUD noise and he's sprayed by something. It turns out team above him dropped their gallon zip lock bag FULL OF SHIT and it landed on the ledge next to him and exploded covering him and the haul bag. As they were near the top they were low on water and he couldnt get much to clean up and had to finish the climb covered in shit. :laf: :laf: :laf:
