  1. They used it to put out the three new fires they started (we're now up to FIVE Rainbow Family forest fires).
  2. Gee, 100lb sack of...... Any takers?
  3. Ditto on the adze--makes it much easier to hold on during self arrest. Grivel makes a cheap third tool/hammer. Not a bad idea to have the hammer, in your defense, I remember getting to an anchor on N. Mt. Index and we could lift both pins out by hand.
  4. Whisperlite INTERNATIONAL! That or the Simmerlite.
  5. Struck a nerve, did we? Here's a topic: more inept Rainbows or Mounties?
  6. Thought you all would get a good laugh out of this nonsense.... First the Sheriff's son committed suicide nearby (not a happy thing, he was a good dude, nice family--SO PLEASE NO RUDENESS. Like I've posted before there's a good chance friends and family might read any IDIOT remarks). Then there was a riot. And now the Forest service is evacuating the gathering (part of it that is) b/c somebody lit a fire (that forest is very damaged by beetle kill). This is all going on near the trail head for the Cirque of the Towers..... Good news link below. http://www.pinedaleonline.com/#rainbowfire
  7. I can't tell if this is a joke or some trick of n00bery and misunderstanding English. But it's funny. To the OP: Why would you buy all this shit, label it, and never use it? Maybe I'm going BROKE! And no I didn't put it up anyone's butt.... AND btw this isn't the whole rack, just 2nd pieces.....

  9. Ditto..... Make sure you have good health insurance, or your medical bills are what you're most likely to end up CHARGING.... :: If you have the $$, CHARGE a pair of Silvrettas; they are DESIGNED to tour and are much more efficient than the Freeride. I've had great experience with Invernos and a 505.
  10. My cousin is doin' just fine! You feelin' ok?
  11. Way to go RuMR! A good friend of mine was killed not too long ago and it really pissed me off to hear all the spraying and "know it all" bs. Folks need to keep in mind that since this is CC, there's a good chance the victim or a close friend might read whatever dumb bs you write. You want some eight year old who lost his dad to read your uninformed bs?
  12. Nope just to the E (N of US 12) of the MR lot are a few bands of tall and very steep basalt entablature, but like most basalt in the Tieton, if it hasn't been cleaned by a few hundred years of running water, it's probably chossy. I never bothered with it b/c if it goes it's 5.12 and up.
  13. Geez! Meant no offense, I just took him at his word about bolting basalt. In that regard there isn't a whole lot of bolted basalt as much of it is entableture that is not at all either climbable or safely boltable, which is why it hasn't been developed. But there are some impressive cliffs, like those across from the Moon Rocks parking. The Tieton is such a nice place because it has been a small group of developers and everybody has worked together. That and much has been done that no one reported. Andy is a great help because he knows so much and cares even more!
  14. Ditto on andyf.... IMHO there's not a whole lot of basalt in the Tieton that's worth bolting and what's there might get somebody killed. You probably should arrange to TAKE andyf or some other experienced local to WHERE you want to bolt because it may well be you are looking to add bolts where the ethics of the crag might not be in tune with your plans.
  15. Hey I just noticed you're supposedly Canadian. I say supposedly b/c you don't seem to want to buy Integral Designs. You a Quebecois?
  16. Here's a nice and cheap option: http://www.backcountry.com/store/ODR0235/Exped-Sirius-Extreme-Tent-2-Person-4-Season.html
  17. What are you doing? Reason I ask is you sound large (at least tall) and two people in an Eldo or Alpinist sounds rough for long trips, backpacking etc. The vestibule won't make you more comfortable. Especially if there are usually going to be two of you I'd worry more about comfort than saving a pound or two. If for solo get the Firstlight (light and cheap and surprisingly strong). Otherwise I'd look at the Eldo, tempest or Fitzroy (Bibler is the BEST quality tent).
  18. I will ship for free to the lower 48, paypal preferred. Pic below. 1. Petzl sidelock heelpiece with antibots and front antibot for Vasak or Sarken, brand new condition. $40. 2.
