Hi, a question .... I am planning a trip to Alaska this spring and I'd like to get some skis to get around with. I'd like to be able to use my mountaineering boots and I want to spend less than 100$. Is it possible to retrofit some x-country skis with some sort of binding I could use with my climbing boots? Has anyone used the karku karvers(not <100$)? http://www.karhu.com/gear/item.php?p=Karver&c=all_terrain I'd like to hear about any creative solutions you may have. I am primarily concerned about transport and secondly downhill performance. Thanks.

Pinnacle Peak and the McDowells have a few days worth of quality granite in Scottsdale. Pick up cheap topos at the REI in Tempe or a climbing shop. http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/listArea.php?AreaID=1837 http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/listArea.php?AreaID=3576

Fred after the route.....

Fred before the route...

Climb: Lillooet-Marble Canyon, Rambles Right Date of Climb: 12/17/2005 Trip Report: Scott (earthly) and myself headed up to Lillooet over the weekend for some ice. Lots to be seen everywhere on the drive in and out on 99. We spent the first day at Marble Canyon climbing some routes on the face to the left of the corner of Dweeping wall. The three routes we did were thin, delicate affairs, the center one just a smear with some cool mixed moves at the beginning off an improbable slot for the pick to gain a thin curtain(TR'd). Another group climbing there said that the third pitch of Icy BC is in. On sunday after a leisurely morning we went to the Rambles and climbed the corner at Rambles right. There is a fat thread at the top now for the next party. We only brought the single 8mmx60 to play with, so the thread is not quite at the top.....so the next party gets a sport clip. The routes on the left wall near the corner are still dripping and pretty wet, but forming up well. The walk down in the dark was made interesting by all the large surface hoar covering everything and sparkling in the light of our lamps. It will make for a nice sliding layer when the next dump comes... Gear Notes: single 8mm rope screws draws dogs(2) Approach Notes: Little snow to speak of and bare ground visible under the bigger trees.

maybe it has an alpine start.

Just to clarify my position.... I never said anything regarding whether "bouldery starts" exist or not. I simply disagreed with Layton on whether Crime of the Century and Phlemish Dance have "bouldery starts" (they don't) which he chose to respond to with a threat to "smack me"...thus ensued the lively, and entertaining exchange. If people in other countries choose to "defend" themselves they're terrorists huh?...they must put something in the water. So whats the (boulder)problem? Should't you be in J-Tree MisterE? Lots of boulder starts there...

Afternoon drinking is so charming. I'd appreciate it if you two would take your tussle to spray. It's not worthy of spray.

BTW... I am typing this on my nice laptop marked "University of Washington Forestry" Thanks! Thanks! I am sad...sad that assholes like you continue infesting Squamish and ruining a perfectly nice crag.

The crack is easy, but the start is tricky. The start to all of those are tricky. You're a fucking punk. I should smack you in the mouth. Ok Dickbreath...come smack me in my mouth. Why are you looking at my mouth in the first place?... those pitches are "hard starts" if you're a little whining bitch. Apparently, YOU don't know shit from shinola. Leave the climbing for the big kids. You stick to selling t-shirts Mikey. Hello loser! This would be the route described as "a bouldery start (.10b)leads to a technical crack above (5.9)" in the Bourdon guide. And the one the old McLane guide ('92) suggested "try a shoulder stand if you're short" for. Is it a hard climb? Not by any stretch of imagination. Is it a bouldery start. Si, senor. But I must say, you're really impressing us with your big dick so far. Boy wonder comes to rescue of his reach-around buddy? Well....anyone who uses the Bourdon book MUST know their shit. Do you enjoy buying select guides and spraying your sorry shit on the web? I guess walking up the stairs is "bouldery" if you lead 5.2. I'll tell you what, why don't you and your lil' buddy c'mon up to squamish and we can play a game of follow the leader? Leave your rope at home. Can you back up that shit you talk? No? Then stay home and wash out your pussy.

Crime of the Century? Phlemish dance? Bouldery? nope. Jabberwocky is (easy)10a... not 10d...
