no go, not enough interest. If anybody wants to play in the future, just respond to this thread, and when/if we get enough responses, we can try again and get something going.

"Clinton to block"

Almost all the holding power of a good screw comes from the outer threads of the screw (closer to the hanger). Moreso, the actual thread length on 13 cm and 22 cm is pretty similar (or identical i think). Your statement is only true if the surface ice is bad, but the underlying ice is decent. Even then, you could clear the surface ice. On a mixed alpine climb where the choice was between one screw and zero, you are far more likely to find thin ice <13 cm vs >22cm. In that situation, the completely driven 13cm screw is much stronger than a half driven 22cm screw.

13 cm if you dont think youll need v threads 19 or 22 if you do

which one????????????

yes, obama weather sucks tomorrow, everyone should caucus

are those new reversos? how do they work?

"conceptionday" does have much of a ring to it

Presidents Day?? Quite the patriot!!

Moderate is a fair assement. Most of the climbs on the bottom tier up to Mr seattle are approached via relatively short, but steep enough to slide slopes. Proper routefinding can get you to mr seattle with minimal exposure, other climbs may require more time on prone slopes. Eric8 kicked off a few slabs above mr seattle last winter.

this might do it, but I think you need Topo ® software http://www.trailsillustrated.com/topo/file.cfm?fileid=780

obama wins georgia

argus - does that mean you will play if it fits in your schedule, or you would play, but your schedule is already full? Come on people, this will be fun!

or take it directly to cascade designs.

nice. the pictures of that first climb look awesome!

So, is there any interest in doing this? Can't play a very good game with only 2-3 people.

yeah, I think the insane level of commitment is the point. He only had like 3 or 4 ropes total, and did it all in a solo single push. Did you read that TR? It is mind blowing!

2002 subaru outback w/ ski rack - lately getting about 23mpg on hwy 1991 Toyota Previa AWD w/ ski rack and rocket box - seems to be averaging around 17 mpg lately. wish it was better.

Also, consider Sahale. It is stunning and nowhere near as crowded as the popular volcanoes.

Are you referring to the drip left of frenchman's in this photo:

Does frenchman's ever freeze really solid? On saturday, while the falls had a lot of ice, the center of the flow was gushing water with only a thin shell of ice over it. That was after a number of days with lows in the single digits. It seems like the spring that feeds it is pretty warm. I dropped a glove in a hole at the bottom of the climb and tried to recover it and it was downright balmy down there.

With only 6 more months of cobra, if your wife is ok with it, I think taking the job is the best thing you can do. Without insurance your wife will almost certainly be worse off.

true, but the new ones feel noticeably different from the old ones imo. Have you used them yet?
