I was just thinking about another trip to Red Rocks today. It is too bad that I can't make it until April. Have fun!

I am headed to Crystal this weekend, if anyone is interested...

I am not sure if this is the best forum to post. If not, please move to appropriate forum. I have snowshoes, snowboard, AT ski setup, 4wd vehicle, and season pass to soqualmie. I am looking for someone or a group to tag along with. Some overnight bivy action would be cool, but I am mainly looking for day trips on weekends. I have climbing gear as well, if you are looking to climb WI3- or less. But, I just really want to make turns right now. I have been out (in-bounds) 9 times so far this season. Half the time skiing and half the time boarding (still working on riding fakey). And, I am just now starting to get into the easier black diamond runs. So, send a PM if you are in need a new snow buddy! Thanks.

I am a Randonee newbie so I am probably wrong, but I thought the pivot point/balance on the toe was critical for changing direction while skinning and that if you adjusted the bindings forward or backwards either the tip or tail would tend to drag.

That mural is awesome. Nice read

Someone broke into 2 vehicles (mine and another) last night between 4 and 6 pm (transition from day to night skiing). They smashed out the driver's side window on both vehicles. They stole the other guy's stereo, amp, and speakers. It looks like all they took from me was my 4 year old Hi-Tec boots (I was about to replace them anyways). They left my I-pod and phone, but obviously saw them??? I was parked in the upper West Summit lot (last 3 cars). Just a reminder that times are bad and to protect yourself. Now, I get to go find a glass shop that is open on Sundays and has the window in stock...

I have wore pantyhose underwear both while climbing and diving. I prefer a skin suit for diving and a silk-weight base layer for climbing.

Pro Mtn Sports doesn't have anymore. Said he only got 12. Anyways, I would like one. Edgeworks is too far for pickup. I guess I will have them mail it. Wish I could just pay cc.com and pick it up locally.

Why is this forum only visible when I am logged in? I couldn't find it today surfing cc anonymously from work. Also, do TRs from Vantage go here as well?

Yes I have, but a lot less often.

PRG does the same thing sometimes with suits of cards; hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds. I like it as I feel more free to interpret the particular climb's actual difficulty. When routes are numbered I feel I should do them in order, regardless if graded correctly (personal preference that I don't always follow). Do you get upset if a route is wrongly graded (easier/harder) when compared to other routes within the same gym? I do sometimes. I think the "circuits" mitigate this issue well.

Call in sick with the swine flu and buy yourself a plane ticket!!!

I found a partner for Tuesday (tomorrow) still looking to fill Wed/Thur. Bill/Sherri I hope we run into each other out there regardless if we climb together or not...

I found a partner for Fri-Mon. Still looking to fill tue, wed, and thur.

So far a couple people have shown interest, but no one has committed yet. I fly in Tuesday the 10th and out Monday the 16th. To help people commit, I will try and sweeten the deal: If you are cool and can get to Vegas you can share my hotel and car (no charge). I don't party hard. I am not a gambler. I really just want to go climb multi-pitch 5.6-5.9. Hopefully so do you. Call or PM. Thanks. -Ken 206 459 3453 Las Vegas Forecast

It sure did Tom. Thanks for a good time! I got some days off to use and I am actually getting motivated. I might have plans for next weekend, but I am also interested in a Smith trip with Beacon and/or TC (never been there) thrown in, weather dependent.

I am taking next week off from work. I would like to get out and climb a bunch. I am leading around 5.9 right now. Camping and climbing around Leavenworth works for me, but if someone wanted to go in on a Red Rocks trip (something like $350-400: Plane, Hotel, and Car), that would be ideal! I could also shift my days off to Wed-Wed starting next week. PM if interested. Thanks.

PM sent.

I really like Stone Gardens, but just a reminder to keep your valuables locked up; I had my wallet stolen earlier today from my jacket in a cubbyhole, and the bastards already charged $300+ to one card. In talking to my financial institutions, it sounds like I am covered. I hope they get caught. The cash in the wallet alone should have been sufficient, but then they go and charge it up. Anyways, be careful and have fun!

I kept thinking why is this psycho jumping! Next time just yell "FALLING!". Was that the same day I lost (and later you gained?) a #5 C4?

I like the team portriat. Nice TR and photos.

How about this weekend? Same deal as before. Anyone available/interested?

Yeah, it sounds like something I shouldn't miss. I was almost going to go last year, but I was all gimp leg and eventually just didn't feel like it. So, this will be my first Ropeup!

I don't want to do any running, but am interested in Little Anapurna. Ivan, are you going this year?
