early season you will have the best coverage at sugar bowl. It gets the most precip and is at a higher elevation than the others. Mt Disney and Mt Lincoln/silverbelt lifts are all you need to have a serious day Alpine Meadows backside bowls are also worth spending time in.

RIP Jim. His footprints around the NW are bigger than anyones and he will be missed.

Fold Fold!!!

Grivel nonsense Is a "third tool" ever worth while? this seems really silly.

sdUUx5FdySs just thought this was a really great animation and wanted to share it.

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. Moliere

I work for a agricultural service/supply company doig fieldwork on the federal projects they get. Herbicide application. Now before you tear into the "H" word, herbicides have come a long way since agent orange. Luckily, I dont ever have to touch the stuff. I just tell the pilots where to go and collect money from the feds.

That sucks. I have camped up there several times without a problem but I will be more careful now. Grr, I hate it when "safe" places become otherwise.

ROFL Awesome Bill

Hey, I am finishing up a project for work in Zion sometime in the first week of november and wanted to know if anyone was going to be in that area and up for a day of climbing. I am driving up I15 and I84 to get home so anything a few hours from there is game. I know it is a shot in the dark, but I am desperate for some rock before winter sets in. I can follow mellow 5.11 gear and am solid on leading to 5.10

I have given up hope trying to guess winters. Just let it snow and enjoy it when it does.

epinephrine: 5.9 6 pitches of chimney. +/-1500ft Prince of darkness: .10something 6(?) exciting sport pitches Solar Slab: 5.8 8 pitches The weather then will be a little chilly in the morn/evening but otherwise ideal. it is possible to get 75deg days in January.

dude, when was hiking in speedos cool? BULGE!

122 Gigs of Ipod? is that really necessary??? PS, sorry to hear about it, thieves suck donkey ballz

Thailand is/was cheap. go there while the gettin is good cause prices are risin faster than Dean Potter on El Cap

if you have that many ropes laying around and being used interchangeably, have a system for keeping track of usage for each one. retire as necessary according to the rope log

I cant believe how climbers have gotten shafted on access issues at Hueco. Just climbed there today and you have to go through a silly video (understandable for tard tourists, and thus everyone) but they only let a small number of folks in at any one time, and they have closed 2/3 to 3/4 of the park to anything but guided tours. John Sherman must be bummed.

can we have an ASS stamp/emoticon for CC? I can think of a few people who would get that right off the bat.

Jlag, you are correct on the J tree shot. I cant remember if it is the Gem or th eon e next to it but thats the area. Moab area for the sandstone one.

it is seriously every 5 minutes or less that a train goes by. There must be a depot somewhere near. This is ridiculus.

Just had to rant, there are trains LAYING in the horn just outside my window at the shitty super 8 in flagstaff and the window might as well be open it is so noisy!!! GRRRRRRRRR. It is 1 am here! And, Work has taken me to New Mexico for a few weeks. Anyone know anything good to fill up an afternoon in the area of Carlsbad, NM? I know the caverns are there and I am hoping to make it to Hueco tanks if I get a weekend, but I am just going to be going insane if I have to watch TV for entertainment.

nice movie. a bit too much intro though. Kinda lost me there for a moment. Where is it shot?

totally doable year round. Just bring gear for snowtravel and leave it in the car if the route doesnt look snowy. Generally, gators and boots should be all you need this time of year unless a big blow comes through before you go up.

Any idea with either of these two?

damn, I just bought the big one in April. oh well.
