There is a picture with lines drawn in on it floating around on this site somewhere.

Is that Spencer "The Kid" Winchester?

Tools are SOLD

Yes Please

"hate bags" is the term that "Al" from the creek uses to describe climbers from CO. I thought that while its not the best description it was so funny at the time that I can't but help use it. yeah I guess I am just spoiled and used to having the place nearly to myself. Generally, if your an ice climber your going to be a pretty chill dude or dudette

I just realized that, thats the Ice fest Weekend....Gapers beware...lots of hate bags rolling in from the south.

But I thought you just sold your fusions?

I have a Patagonia gift card that has $14.55 left on it and whoever buys my tools can have that to. Can't buy anything from them for that price so....must go to someone who is going to buy something of there's.

Looking to get out and climb some rock during the sunny day on Tuesday or Wednesday any takers?

That Pillar of Pain is one of the best steep routes I have ever been on, can't believe you hiked all the way up to it. Nice TR, Cody is a special place.

Trip: Strobach - FA: Ponderosa Pillar WI5 65m Date: 2/1/2009 Trip Report: Alpine Monkey and I (Bryan Schmitz) went into Strobach for some ice this weekend and ended up having a great time. The snow conditions were pretty prime, no post holing. We began at the Motherlode area on Saturday. Me looking pretty jazzed for the Hike in after the 2:15am wake up and the three and half hour drive that followed. Hiking In Some cool looking rock or dirt? 2 + hours later we arrive!!! In the words of Frank Snaders, "i am here now" Dropline through Bleeder Project Strobach Unclimbed A & B. Now strobach Unclimbed A & Ponderosa Pillar Me high up the route, the route was about 70 feet longer than we thought, topped it out and rapped off a tree. God look at all those screws what was I doing? First on The Right Left side of the watchtower Area We climbed the tongue and Hidden Delight on sunday A possible "Winter Dance" of Strobach in the upper left of the photo. The Watchtower, NOT Touching, to bad, but a good reason to return later. Approach Notes: Hwy 12 Tieton Road just east of rimrock lake, head through the woods towards Strobach Mountain. Follow directions in WA state ice. You can see the climbs on Strobach across the lake and would be a good way to check conditions if you had a scope.

You don't get the tax break, but the person who donates to the central asia institute, granted they have 501C3 status, gets the write off in their itemized deductions.

I was quite curious about it being "picked out" the route maybe see one ascent every other year or so. 5.11 trad WI6 , just doesn't get done very often

Any sweet photos of come and get it? Is it really picked out?

I have been swinging these tools all year and love them, I haven't bent the pics yet and I have 25+ days on them, I think you just need to be careful. Plus they don't bend they break. They seem to be an awesome all around tool that climbs mixed and ice terrain very well. If I had the money I would have bought the cobras because they swing a bit better but not much. These tools can take some serious abuse.

Back to thew Basics: its time to bring out the gore tex and the tools. I am living in the area and would like to try and get some dry tooling in on a regular basis. Maybe find some new rock to clean up. PM me if you have any free time to stick your picks.

Sickness and inspiring, way to send.

Looks like this weather is going to hold for a couple of days at least until Wednesday, anyone wanna get out and get some top ropes set up in the late afternoon and evenings?

don't worry I 'll drink your's no problem, count me in I am flexible.
