since drul is a hermaphadite the photographing would be tasteful!

graupel i knew of 4 people with them in slc last winter and 2 of them had breaks, so in my world that would be 50%. both had broken toe pieces. have heard of other breaks as well. nothing like plastic to make life better.

i heard that the naxos has something like 50% of their bindgins break. even if they are beefed up the design still appears to lead to failure. i have freerides on bigs and can keep up with pretty much anyone skinning, so i only see weight being an issue on multiday deals.

Ben - Greg's never cared before... why should he start now? -S

Too bad. You should find someone else to climb with. -S

just shaped up and is gonna be better then anyones else!

climb the choss next to it.

Awww... Greg, I love you too!! -S

sauna. sow-nuh NOT saw-nuh!!!! -S

The average human body contains about 5 Liters of blood. -S

why dont you do it then nolse.

the oprah route is super soft for the grade, more like 5.8 with a 5.10 move thrown in. you can tell by 1st ascent team that it is overgraded.

a double rack, hahahahaha!

in that case bring a machete to clear a path too.

index is usually better then people think in the winter, tho we would not want that to get out and have the people from seattle out spoiling the fun.

i believe suicide and tahquitz might be closed due to high fire danger so you might want to check that out b4 making the drive.

lovers leap is your best for cooler temps easily 10-15 degrees cooler then the valley. super close to the road. tho it gets quite busy on weekends. also courtwright has alot of good climbing at a high alititude close to the road. as does calaveras dome. donner has alot of good climbing tho it is all quite short. cardnial pinnacle just above the buttermilks is another good option. as well as rock creek above tom's place has some great cragging. pm me as i live down here now.

So CBS are you stating that top ropes are not a valid ascent?

It's wet most of the time anyways...

down here in these parts the weather looks fabulous. but since we are jobless sack i think we will just hang out and swim and bbq and then go climbing after the crowds have all gone back to their cubicles.

fossil is a fun place to climb beside the obvious drawbacks. tho after you have done the few travelled routes there is much adventure potential. personally i dig the ambiance much better then that of exit 38 and the obnoxious road noise and crowds that it holds. some entertaing bouldering below the road that goes up to the wall. and also lotsa ticks!! there is a good guide put out by yoder and crew. prolly only available at backpackers in tacoma. pm lucky as he is/was a driving force behind that place at one time or another.

we saw this guy out cliping bolts the other day. man that dude could crank!

i'll call dan right now.

sellout pig! have fun and dont take a free t-shirt to flash your rack! you are better then that!

klenke you are right, i am all wet...hours of swimming will do that to a llama!
