  1. Your old metal frame pack is too small to fit all that 1970s Eddie Bauer camp gear so I gotta carry the rope and the rack.
  2. 8. You ask to pass on a 3 pitch route when there's a team in front of us too.
  3. I do like that the EDDY will lock again if the lever is pulled too far. Nothing wrong with a standard ATC though.
  4. Main Crack at Minnehaha. I got as far as the huge ledge (12' off the ground) and couldn't figure out where to go after that. The rest of the route seemed devoid of any holds. Guess the big-ass crack up the center must have been alot smaller then
  5. I read about this a few years ago. It's the hard nalgenes with the #7 in the recycle triangle that they're referring to. The softer white ones aren't #7 though.
  6. Very nice. I'm hoping to do this next year and continue on to S. Ingalls then Fortune then follow the ridge over to Ingalls Pass.
  7. I'll 4th that - aluminum oxide. My partner retired his Attache this year and got something different - that's when the grey started showing up on my rope. I'm guessing some belay devices and biners are worse than others.
  8. Which Library system? My wife works at the Spokane County Library in the valley. I'm a programmer but am interested in getting into the porn industry as an coreographer. Either that or a climbing guide book author. Or a surgeon.
  9. About an hour from Kettle Falls
  10. If I were to bring a friend up there that couldn't climb 5.14g, would there be some stuff he could play on while I did the hard stuff? You know, some warm up 5.10 or 5.4? Oh, and Marty, for Pete's sake but a shirt back on till you get some tone back.
  11. I'm considering cortisone for my torn rotator as well. Recognizing that it's mainly to get the inflammation down enough to relieve some pain while it's healing. I'm just nervous that it'll allow me to push the PT harder than I should without even recognizing that it's too much.
  12. Sounds TR worthy.
  13. I ran over my first one with a warehouse tug in 1985 then it got swept into a drain. It was flat when I recovered it and never the same again. My spousal unit just got a new one for me last year. It feels uncomfortable so I may put it into a baggy in my parka and loan the coat to her next trip.
  14. Thanks.
  15. Nice work Blake! Enjoyed the slideshow.
  16. Looks like one of our members has caught the little booger in the act. We can only hope he's been grounded. A pic found in the photo gallery: Captured!
  17. A pic of the approach traverse would be cool too!
  18. That's BS. There's enough idiots on both sides of the aisle deserving of that kind of shit bomb but denying Reagan his due is just plain revisionist history instigated by haters of all things not Left.
  19. You miss the point. Many of us would be happy paying an extra couple of bucks for a product that's made somewhere other than China - preferably the US but at least not China (among some others). So it's not just a safety thing, it's an ethics thing.
  20. Lots of people may have issues with this - safety concerns, ethics, whatever. The fact that BD cams are made in China seems like a valid topic for discussion to me. You seem to be implying it's not? When you say "If you don't likem don't buy em." true enough, but without knowledge, you can't make an informed decision one way or another.
  21. Ditto. Even if the quality remains high, it's discouraging when companies like this move overseas. When Levis went, I switched to wranglers. They're probably made in Taiwan but at least I don't expect better of them. I'd never but a Harley made in Singapore either. I have BD and will continue to buy from them until/if they're shown to be inferior though.
  22. I don't want meetings nor votes or even an "ok" from others (clubs or individuals). I just wanna scrub "Fuc$" off the rock so I don't have to read it every time I run up Jam Crack. It's on my way home and I actually enjoy stopping by to run up Beacon or mess with a bouldering problem. I'd enjoy it more if the place wasn't a shit hole though. That's my motivation and I don't expect anyone else to share it nor agree with it.
  23. I hope his sister leaves him for his uncle.
  24. Does ice stick well to graffiti? All seriousness aside though, if this rotator continues to mend, I wouldn't mind trying some ice this winter. But, I want some warmish rock too
  25. Too funny! If this is the quality of stuff they're giving to the Iranians, no worries.
