  1. I got the mammut super light shit double standard shoulder length and thats all I ever seem to need. Fuck cord and fuck 20 feet of it.
  2. You don't need a wall rack or a heavy pack for Lib Crack and even if you did why would the leader be carrying it and a heavy pack let alone a pack at all on the first pitch.
  3. I agee, Lib Crack is a great climb. Its not outstanding since the climbing sort of deteriorates toward the top, but its pretty damn fun and decently long. The first pitch is one of the best .11a's anywhere.
  4. Its such a subjective thing, but here's some subjectivity - DEB on South is overrated. It has one good pitch, the 5.9 hand crack at the beginning. Then there's two sport bolted face pitches and some other stuff (can't be that great 'cause I've climbed it like 3 times and can't remember) to the top. East Face of Lexington is WAY better with 4 or 5 great pitches of sustained 5.9 crack climbing in great position and a squeeze chimney (with a 2x4 for pro) to boot!
  5. Lib Crack is hardly an aid route. It has like 5 moves of aid, even for a wanking pitiful free climber like myself.
  6. I disagree. I'll use mine on any rock route with above freezing temperatures. If snow / ice and cold - I would agree with you.
  7. Those sound like the ones. You want 'em back or what?
  8. So, climbing at Squishy this past weekend and some dude was cleaning / trundling from a route he was developing on the north wall. Cool looking line and definitly worthy , but he had the whole north gulley roped off and closed so he could clean up his route and he was definitly cleaning - consistently sending down lots of big blocks. As a result any climb accessed from North Gulley was de facto CLOSED, as was any early exit off of Angel's Crest. It was cool that he roped the area off and put up sings warning climbers what was going on since anyone venturing into the North Gulley probably would have gotten smashed. However, why would someone choose to clean a route in a popular approach gulley on a Saturday in mid-summer? It seems very arrogant and inconsiderate to me. Why not do it on a weekday or a rainy day or both? Maybe that is considered proper ettiquette at Squamish, but I know if someone did that at Index, such aggression would not stand! So happened that it wasn't a h uge inconvenience for us or anything, but it still seemed lame.
  9. Strange experiences you have. Usually when I solo there's bikini mommas waiting at the top to congratulate me and offer me cold beer.
  10. Man that sounds sweet. I need to change careers.
  11. This thread is sher retarted.
  12. Yeah I went up there one time and the weather wasn't even all that bad, but it had been raining real hard and was still pretty chilly. I was light and fast solo style had sneakers and shorts and shit and about a mile up the trail I was so soaking fucking wet from wet brush that I just said fuck it and went home. Quite the less than cascade hardman effort that day.
  13. Claim 'em if you want 'em back. Mad Rock size 9.5

  15. Who cares. Statistics don't mean shit when you're dead.
  16. The crux of anything in that range is that fucking road. Next time I'm just going to bring a bike. Nice work on the climb!
  17. Brilliant. You are one smart monkey.
  18. Ha! that picture is too funny!! Classic!! Sounds like a super fun, productive trip. Excellent!
  19. I'll let you know if I ever get my plans together.
  20. You keep notes on climbs? Fuck dude wuts with the play by play? Why don't you just post a streaming video of every friggin hold and move, ala Gary Ygevne. Keep at least a little bit of adventure alive.
  21. DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING ALWAYS!! Or in my case - smoke pot check knot.
  22. I thought he was back today? Don't know what's up for this weekend yet. Climbing something somewhere. How was your weekend with Kevin? Haven't seen that dude for a while.
