new SS crampons

I knew you fuckers could find something to argue about even after it opened Climbed the corner + FFA + Dods on Sunday and have oak today. I'm guessing somewhere on the SE corner. Spraying would be awesome... shit I'd support a nalpalm strike

Was in the parking lot @ 6 am Sunday in an attempt to beat the heat... seemed to work though we found old larry sleeping on the trail at the first switch back

Sweet! I heart deductions and granite

Does the Paypal receipt indicate that the donation is going to a 501c3 organization? I.e. does it cite the WCC as the benefactor or does it list Index Fund?

The tree ledge is the best place for that

Pentax Optio WP? Should be attached to a black camera bag. Some of these pics could be on it

I think I heard 12+ but could be wrong... send a PM to Wallstein he freed it last summer

bueno!

AFAIK no one (partner or not) has linked TRL and LC in <24 hours. Looks like you could almost link both solo Nice work!

Sorry dude but I was busy hanging out with SLC's premier climbing author :laf: I'll be back in the fall most likely

+1. And the humility. :tup:

I am waiting for a sample to arrive from a strap business. I will let you know what I find. So far $.33 a foot OMC

Angie's list is a good place to start. Get a few bids and dont hesitate to negotiate. Offer to remove the carpet and haul away any trash to see if you can get a lower bid.

Not if you have to replace it ever couple of years. Certain rental upgrades are tax deductible anyways so spending a little more only means more of a write off and less personal time investment down the road

1/2" tubular. Super compact/light, easy to make v threads with and just strong enough. Kinda hard to find though.

+1 on CCW. 3 packs with them to date. And Randy sells some fine art too If you need something with a frame CCW is out... BD uses lightweight materials so dont expect it to last forever. That said they make some fine packs

Is it still opening tomorrow 7/22?

Open tomorrow or not?

At ozone? That never happens

Bet you cant send it....... This is at a crag that no one from outside PDX would ever consider climbing at, right? The PDX version of Exit 38 in other words? Right except the grades are even softer

For alpine ice: 16 cm is plenty for both points of protection as well as the anchor assuming you take the time to clean off any surface crap. Nothing longer than an 18 unless it is a TR anchor for crevasse climbing then you want as long as you can get as screws will melt out during the day in the sun. For water ice: A selection of 10s, 13s, 16s and 18s should get you up most routes. Start with the longer lengths (16s and 18s) and as your skills improve start picking up the short lengths. Anchors will commonly depend on the quality/availability of ice but at least one 16 and an 18 is great. I have some used Grivel screws for sale... shoot me a PM EDIT: this only applies to stainless steel screws. Ti or anything else that has smaller threads needs more length

Nice work Wayne and Mike! That rock looks very cool! 1800'/15 pitches = 120' a pitch??? All that fancy prototype gear and you guys took 40 meter ropes?
