That "bakery," i.e., donut shoppe, sucks, man. There's always a really long line and who wants to stand in a really long line when you're on your way to go climbing.
Yeah right. You're probably also going to try and get us to believe that the world is more than 5,000 years old and that the animals weren't saved by Noah and his Ark. You probably have two gays fucking in your bedroom as we speak.
I was experiencing some of that today too. Rub-on wax works, the same stuff that you use for your bases. Ascension also used to make some spray on stuff just for this problem. I don't know if they stil make it ir how well it works though.
You might want to have an idea about what's been going on with the weather, what will be going on with the weather and with conditions, especially since you have been out of town. Such things are typically good to keep in mind when planning a snow and ice mountain climbing outing instead of just asking a bunch of strangers on the interweb.
