did you see the black spider? conditions

Inti Wanta to the upper part of resolution was done by two buddies of mine when i was down there last. 2200 feet. huge day. they topped out at sunset and spent a cold night bivy in the desert. However they did say that it was upper portion of resolution was a wild ride more bold than hard.

I heard that there was some cool stuff in the sherwood forest, like maybe a wooden hovel or bivy of such...did you see anything? I have always wanted to go camp up there.

glad to see the helmet made it

Agree, its all been bolted or chipped already. If you chip enough is it a new route? pics please:)

My days of working the weekends and late late nights is coming to a close shortly. I know that I am getting stoked about getting my harness back on. Who wants to join me in a dance for the Black Spider to come into shape like it did last year....should be looking good here real soon if we can get some nice weather and stable snow:) I don't pray but would consider starting.

pics?

sick! Did your head get a worse beating from the ice or from Shannon?

http://joelandneilsclimbingblog.blogspot.com/ Shout out to my buddy Neil down tearing it up in Patagonia. Crazy to think that I took Neil on his first alpine climb not five or six years ago and now he has two FA's in Patagonia this season. Super proud.

no harness....i want to just boulder on the beach

Bailing on AK, going to the Caribbean for some sun, sand, bikini's, drinks, and sex. I want to also bring my shoes and maybe do some beach bouldering a day or two. Anybody got any beta for me? Personal experiences? Tips? Oh I will be going last week of May first week of April.

bump

Looking out from my cube the last couple days seems like some shit should be getting done....anybody got some pictures I can live vicariously through?

feeling an itch...must leave audit room

shorter falls generate more force. The most force is generated on a fall will about 3.5 feet of rope out from the last placement. longer falls have more rope for the force to disperse from. so it makes sense that a short fall would cause a screamer to activate but the longer falls I have seen on screamers haven't.

I second that for sure! I appreciate his dedication to keeping the rest of us all safe and alive.

sounds amazing, makes me wish I was in the bay to slay

I don't get why you have to be so doubtfull of my post. Just because you don't know every climber in the Portland area does not mean I am lying about my climbs. Or is it that I have to earn my rank on this site? No wonder it took me seven years to finally register as alot of the people on this site come of off as total ass holes. Cheers Todd Thanks for the praise Dave and Bill. dude these same assholes you speak off sometime go through a lot of trouble to create an alternate identity...

I have been curious about this as well

please do!

Glad Home Feild Advantage came in this year, with all that ice on it and our bolts next to the ice make us look like wussies.

i have to work during the day.....anyone want to get crazy and try this thing tonight, if it doesnt fall down today?

anyone climb anything out there recently?

of ice? sure..
