Nothing like living large...

Have you moved from acid to your avatar...how do you spell that anamita muscaria ?

those phoenix ropes have to be the smallest diameter single fall rated rope available ?

I gotta hand it to you hockey lovers..I mean you live in a country that never plays hockey highlights on the news and even when I am at a place like fox sports bar I have to beg and plead for them to put hockey on and I have to find the sattelite channel its on before they even look for it. Then they wine and cry and say oh you must be Canadian. Go Habs, last Canadian team in!!

isnt that deal ? All that sport climbing has made your brain soft

Awesome!! Good to see you are back at it and going strong!

ha fair enough, I dont know one person involved with this epic route nor do I really have any desire to climb it. I was just unimpressed with the title of the thread and what I perceived as jabs at the FA who by Blakes account had ledge fall and is now injured, just thought it was poor form. All is well and Im sure Blake is a fine guy.

Hey Blake seems like your more worried about some shitty one move wonder 10a than a fellow climber who may have hurt himself. Why dont you keep that attitude and your bullshit name calling in washington. Heres to hoping whoever hurt themselves recovers for the season and the send of their new route

The answer lies with the partner However, IF Paul was climbing the North face of Harvey he would have descended the backside and met up with his partner on the road which is only a short distance from the parking lot. So in realtity it would not be out of the question to walk back to the vehicle to see if he was there before calling or organizing a search. Dont take Dons advice lightly.

Trip: North Joffre Creek - Schneidelwurz Date: 4/20/2008 Trip Report: Really what can I say about climbing ice on April 20th..This ice climbing is awfully casual when you can go for a sit down breakfast, saunter in on a flat trail in about an hour and a half, walk up bomber neve to the base, then climb some of the best plastic screw sucking ice, followed by a daylight ski out and then drive home on dry sunkissed roads with your sunglasses on... ice cragging is great!! A very good friend who has been going to school in London for the last few years showed up for a social visit and managed to luck out on some good ice, we put together a kit for him and had a blast climbing Shneidelwurz. A phenomenal route in an amazing setting. The route on the left, Swiss Frommage on the right was sporting a horizontal crack Don Climbed Gee Wiz on the 5th and noted a large crack about 35 m up, here you can see Gee Wiz on the right which is now missing a 35 m high ice curtain, geuss the big fluctuation in temps was too much Toby pitch 1 Since Toby hasnt seen ice in 3 years and was having so much fun, hooting and hollering and being the nice guy I am I offered him the nice top lead im sure there is more ice time if your keen

seems like alright mountain climbing weather.. this is just some really cold air that may induce covective flurries/showers avoid the classic convergence zones and should be alright

Im with dmuja, stay way from my DNA. Who knows what they could do with it...

500mb = 5000 m 850 mb = 1500 m The last time it was cold like that up high was near the end of March this year which gave us snow all the way to sea level. Here again we are looking at some possibly very cold temps up high for this time of year and really even winter. A good article which ran a few weeks ago after the record cold Komo Article so its not quite over yet..maybe we can even get one more dusting at sea level

I bet alot more..wouldnt be suprised to see a few more feet accumulate over then next few weeks as fr levels hang around 500-1000 m

and just like that..they are here..took 7 days including a weekend and cost me 35 bucks in tax!! Yup MG rocks the nation

I find it really comfy and the leg loops being un adjustable is not a problem for me, however it wont be used for ice. Price didnt seem like an issue to me whats not a 100 bucks these days but i suppose if your on a budget cheaper is better That Hirundo sure looks like a strong contender at beating it though..the buckle system is by far superior and its lighter and cheaper...however the packable size of the arcteryx is amazing..so will see how the r320 stands up through the summer, so far so good

ya shit..I noticed the weight on the petzl..a few grams lighter, the double back is my thing too..have to look at one close because I do enjoy the Arcteryx packable size and not so much on my last few petzls.. 80 beans on the website too...Petzl may have it beat..however I didnt notice the Arcteryx restricting any movement for me

suppose it depends on what you want it for...I climb more in the mountains so packability and sleekness are more important, since im in the hills padding is not much of a problem because I have so many layers on and I suppose that negates any breathing problems that may be an issue..however I dont think the 4 inches at my waist and two at my leg excesivley sweat ? from the gym climbing ive done on it the padding is perfect and the breathing through my jeans is fine I think this is the best harness available for rock climbing..will see how the ice version performs..if I go that route

its a 100 bones..less than a cheap night out on the town

Ive spent the last 7- 8 years in petzl double back harness's and they have served me very very well, exceptional and very adjustable however with the new Arcteryx Harness r 320 there is no comparison it is hands down the best harness available and the new ice version I will buy next winter I can fit it in my jacket pocket comes with four full gear loops and a haul point, they actually redesigned the buckle so its quite easy to use instead of just using the same buckle design thats been around for years..what else could I ask for

Why not quit ? I would!

Must open your mind young jedi..im sittin at 6 weeks with access to 2 months LOA
