  1. I started it, but that is cause I did the same thing with my friends who started climbing not too long ago. Gave out my extra axes and crampons. Sorry to say that I am fresh out. Give me a couple of years I will have some more ;)

     

    Have several old ropes but I would never give those out to anybody, that would be bad form.

  2. Check these guys out.

     

    Beyond Clothing

     

    Granted you have to order them but and that takes some time but the pants I got from them are the BOMB. They are my fall, winter, early spring pants. I got an older version of the Cold Play pant. Full side zips and what not. Last year I only wished for tights under them one day and that day was windy cold. Oh and they are the ONLY company I can get pants that fit. What only short people do outdoor activities?

  3. Go get a auto block and forget about it if you are bring up second. If belaying leader use it in ATC mode. If I was leading or following I would rather you use an ATC. It is good to know those friction knots but I have been lucky enough not to need them (fingers crossed and knocking on wood).

     

     

  4. Last time I purchased a parking pass for smith was at GI Joes. Now that they are gone where can I go in bend or redmond to get an annual or 2 year parking pass for smith? yes I now you can get them at the park but I don't want to have to wait for the old people to get there as I tend to start early.

     

    Want to start saturday at 8 am and climb till late.

     

    Freddie's?

     

  5. You could not get back your draws? The second had to go up the rope but could not take the draws? No fifi or no ascenders?

     

    Wondering cause I am planning on doing that route this weekend and I am the "more experienced" one:)

     

    Doubt that they will be there, but if they are I will get them back to you.

  6. Mnthippy. Sounds like we have the same foot. I have the megarides and they are narrow. After a couple of years I also decided that I need a wider forefoot.

     

    This is second hand but I understand that the BD boots might work for you. I have not tried them on as I have a tough time justifying the cost of another pair of AT boots. Thank goodness that the Megarides are nearing the end of thier life span :)

     

     

    I will be interested in what you end up with.

     

  7. First of all climb more. When I was strong at the overhangs I was at PRG at least 3 days a week and I bike an hour to get there. I had bad form but I was strong.

     

    Being fluid helps and I found that spending some time in the bouldering room helped alot on my movement i.e. keeping the mid section up not down.

     

    If you have been going to PRG for a while I would hit up the hang board as well. Don't do alot, maybe once a week.
