We could spray into his voice mail instead...

looks like i might not be able to rope any of my loser friends into a road trip. i have friday afternoon to tuesday night free. interested in using my vouchers (set of two) at silver star, apex, big white, sunpeaks, getting outta' bounds, and maybe looking for some ice. or screw the skiing. flexible. child molester sleeps two fine, but i'm not a molester. ski fast? climb well?

i'm not at home right now, but i believe the latest issue of Climbing reviewed single wall tents, touching on Stephenson designs. if I remember correctly, they had some bones to pick - not free standing, functionality, etc. the review doesn't appear to be on their web at the moment, but the read would be worthwhile.

...Starbucks, Galyans, Dicks, Starbucks, Kwiky Mart... All aboard, now! C'mon and doo the right thing! ...contend or be happy?

so did ANYONE climb/check ice this weekend? no tr's, no nothing, sad story for the ice climbers... A neurosis is a secret that you don't know you are keeping. Kenneth Tynan. -- and one that you are. steddy.

DUDE! That's Layton in the black on the left! Perverted grin, happy to be there.... ...sizin' up that kielbasa.... well, almost

i remember this nested knot thing too, but can't remember using it - any advantages besides neatness/no tails to hang up? are they still easy enough to untie after being welded?

i dunno if this is how luwayo describes them, but here's a low-brow way i did it a long time ago. (the tube goes across the ski, bungy just simply loops it with a simple knot ). it seemed to work ok, but you're not going to get super lift unless you use a large diameter. looks a little hokey, but they work. my real 2 cents is get some modern heel pads with wire lifters built in (but that of course would defeat the purpose of cheapo homemade craftiness).

i was looking for a mounting template at climbhigh, and came across their web specials. four diff. crampons under $100, civetta's, more -- check here.

i've got the sticker template if you want it (which comes with bindings). i don't think i'll ever use it. i'm sure you know the ol' six pack at the ski shop trick...? (read: accuracy & speed)

I prefer to carry a purse - a great place to hide my balls and carry the vagisil.

i thought the ones i sewed on mom's sewing machine when i was 15 were pretty rad. luckily i read and wised up to not using home-sewn runners about the same time i made 'em.

If this is the correct Manning Mixed chimney and even if it's not, one would likely get drenched getting there, although i don't know the approach options down there. There was a 5m wide cascade of water in the circle and you can imagine what was below.

Nepopekum

Climb: Manning Park-Go With The Flow Date of Climb: 2/10/2005 Trip Report: The gate is open/road open - T-bar and tubing slopes open (good alternative). Nepopekum was in shape for lunatics but wasn't planned on anyway. Substantial water flow, but this one has a chance - what an aesthetic climb and neat setting. Go with the flow looked OK from knoll by blue chair (aka "Fresh Air Experiences"), as hoped. Ice was...interesting, but pretty safe all in all. Stayed on the left side to be conservative while scoping it out, which still offers WI 4. Found it unique to be forced into climbing over several bulges that required (at least for the first go) driving picks in places I like to avoid (~less than a shaft length from the convexity) - somewhat heady, amongst other reasons. Some aerated ice covering pretty good, harder ice, some localized sheet delamination, and peg-boarded in places (divets for picks & feet). Center and right would go if you really want, I'd start with the right - and of course realize it's a little funky (but what kind of standards do we hold in the maritime anyway?). Leave early. Gear Notes: Snargs, titanium screws, big bros, alpenstocks. A few more screws than normal will ease the mind. Approach Notes: Narrow log walk with poles or a two step, one dunk hop will keep you dry right at Derek Falls.

Thanks, MisterE! You mean THAT's what you do instead of work? I KNOW that took some time, some mind altering, a dvd, maybe a trip to the munchie store...what a day off! Amazing what cutting photos short can dooo. Just came across one that made Haffner look HUGE!

Dufus I am, dru, but no flaming in the noob forum - right, drufus? Forgot about the other Marble D'oh!@ - and just barely in BC it is. Sure does look like the Tokumm Pole, but the JoJo pic isn't nearly as attractive, especially with that guy SITTING in his swami on top rope! (p. 213) Consistently in, between the 5th and 6th bridges.... Wazzu, people were heading into Marble when I was around in mid Dec. - do you just mean the deeper parts were closed?

I only get offers for free lapdances is what he meant.

Had a reason to look up a pic in the current BD catalog and flipped thru again. Now I'm wondering what this climb is - doesn't fit any description in WCI2's Marble section. 'Secret', new, mis-id'ed? Caption reads: "Buhler? Buhler? (Every day is a day off for Carlos.) Playing hooky in Marble Canyon, British Columbia. [Paolo Marchesi]. Page 17. Info appreciated. I predict a posting by dru...

he's a dick sucker in a mean way - somebody bust out some quotes from that flick!!! 'America, Fuck yeah!'....

fun drytooling 20" powdah (i swear i didn't hit a single rock! ) patriots kicking some ass again happy birthday, mike!

someone ask him about that TR now....it was awesome, wasn't it?

maybe the partners forum would have been wise, but then i wouldn't have gotten to laugh my ass off. at least she's trying to climb and not go to interviews on sundays.

hey! you still found it! spooky, huh? just like this week's planning changed.
