I'm not sure how waterproof you're looking for, but my Olympus Stylus takes great pictures and has survived many soggy PNW sea kayaking, climbing, and skiing adventures.

what the fuck is 1337? oh, wait, I think urbandictionary's defintion is spot-on: n. 1. Nestled between 1336 and 1338, 1337 is commonly known as a number, or for the more advanced; an "integer" 2. Often misused to satisfy a lamen's ego, the self-proclaimed 1337 will misuse the title, pretending to hold Xtr3m H4x0r capabilties while in fact masturbating to preteen beastiality at 2:00 AM with baggy eyes; anonymously hassling n00b's with better things to do than kill their babies over mindrot such as Everquest and Warcraft.

My wife and I are headed up to Banff for a week. Can anyone recommend an area where you can TR some easier climbs (<5.9)? I checked out the Sport Climbs in the Canadian Rockies guide, but it didn't have any info on TR areas. Thanks!!!

Pike's IPA is also fine

Size 10 purple Scarpa Invernos for sale, cheap. These have been well used, but have lots of life in 'em. Liners are in good shape, and the shells are pretty much indestructable. I'll let 'em go for 2 sixers of good brew.

Bought them last year, and only used them a couple times, on account of I don't really like how they fit. They're in really good shape. New, these shoes are $90, and I'm asking $50 . . . but will consider other offers.

por que?

I'm looking for some new approach shoes. Anybody got thoughts on the CTCs? How do they climb?

If you have a full day, make sure you hike up to the Druid Stones. . . one of the most amazing places I've been. The long hike is well worth it, on account of not many pad people are willing to make the trek and the views of the valley are spectacular. The Druid Stones themselves are absolutely stunning While fun climbing, I though the Happys were sub-par due to the over use, particularly the obnoxious spewings of the Chico State brahs and others. Unless you like bouldering to the incessant sounds of "Fucking send it dude! Do that bitch! Come on!", I'd avoid the happies.

sold.

You can get a pretty cheap laminated tri-fold bouldering guide that covers the happies, buttermilks, druid stones, etc., at Wilsons Eastside sport. Last spring, my wife and I camped at a small commercial campground north of town . . . I can't remember the name, but it was attached to a big park w/ ball fields, etc. It was a bit expensive, but the campsites were grassy and shaded and they had showers. Most climbers camp at the pit, but it's really dusty and, well, a pit. I've been to some hotsprings out in the valley, but don't remember the details. Ask at Wilsons. Make sure you spend a day up at the druid stones. . .

Seeking Mid-week Climbing Partners I have the upcoming week off, and I’m looking for partners for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (9/16-18). I’d like to get out and do some moderate alpine rock routes (Vesper, Cutthroat, Liberty Bell, SEWS… or whatever you got in mind) or cragging (E32/38, Lworth). I’ve been climbing off and on for 10 years, and I’m safe, competent, and easy-going. I have a good-sized rack and ropes. My one problem… no car. I live in Seattle (Phinney / Greenlake) and I can bus around the city to minimize your drive time. Gas$$$, pints, etc. in return. I’ll be out of the house most of the day, so PM me if interested. -d

climbed the tooth yesterday (6/20). Approach is on dry trail until source lake, then snow up through the approach gully... just follow the obvious boot track. The snow in the approach gully is quickly melting... depending on your comfort level, you might want to bring an ice axe for decending the gully on account of its kind of funky.

even better time waster, but not for the faint of heart... http://www.andrewconner.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pinguxtreme.swf my record: 925.2

My wife and I will be down in the Tahoe area in early May to visit family. We were planning on taking 5-6 days to do some casual cragging, bouldering, camping, and plenty of lounging. Our initial plan was to spend the week checking out tahoe... sugarloaf, truckee, etc. However, it looks like it might still be snowy and cold. Anyone climbed in the Tahoe area this time of year? Camping recommendations? Our other option is heading down to Bishop... plenty of bouldering, bolt-clipping, and hot-springing. Any recommendations for camping in the Bishop area? Thanks.
