I thought this movie was pretty RAD!! And I'm not gay afterward... I don't think. But kick ass movie!! There was an article in Men's Health about one of the actors working out with Twight and seems a few other of the mains characters did as well. And there is some climbing in the movie!! See it in IMAX!!!

Pull an Eastwood on her... Easy way and Hard way. Talk to her and tell her things are not working and she needs to find other accomodations. EASY= you offer to help her find a new place and even assist in moving. A little work can go a long way in your personal piece of mind. HARD= is she refues, take joy in making her life a living hell like she is doing to you. Lock up important stuff in your room and just punish her till she leaves!! This can be a fun contest with you and your other roomies as to who can get the biggest reaction out of her. And you will rest knowing you tried to work things out!! But don't worry, the spring and summer are fast approaching and you can spend even more time AWAY FROM HOME!! Good Luck!!

AWESOME!!! If anyone wasn't a NCascade enthusiast, this should sway their opinion!! Thanks stoking up my monotonous Friday afternoon.

Really great show last night!! I echo Jim's statemens about Colin's openess with non-climber questions. Made for a great light hearted night of drooling in beers with watching climbing porn!! Awesome climb and thanks for the stoke!!

I dig Amazonia Wall at X38. Great climbs into hard 10s. And, as said before, WWI rocks at X32 and has great potential to stay dry with the upper overhangs. Get out and climb!!

Yeah, we were up there Saturday. The sun was great but the wind was howling all day about tree line. Kept the temps down and the snow frozen!! Great day out though!! 5600vert isn't too bad for a day out.

Baker Resort Wed with thigh deep powder. Baker Resort Fri with 24in in 24hour!! Awesome first two days... 98 to go!!

I would recommend seeing a Physical Therapist, not a chiropractor. A PT will assist you in all the therapies dicussed by "GGK" and help you get back on your feet. At least you got some tracks in.. and it is still early season so you can look forward to late January freshiez!!!

I weight trained for a few years to be big and strong. I used Creatine quite a bit wtih good results to my end. You will gain quite a bit of water weight, which will be lost after you stop supplementing. But I don't know that this will be the big key in improving your climbing. Creatine is great for building muscle mass and helping recover for the workouts, but I would focus on a form of recovery shake/supplement like whey protein and glutamine for after your weight or climbing workouts. I would also say that weights can be valualbe in progession on climbing. If everything is strong, you have more balance in pulling harder moves or enduring longer cruxes. I echo the "find the balance" mantra in this thread. Now

Great job Ira. You should teach and pass these lessons on to the climbing youth!!! Oh wait...

Good pics "Camper" That was a good day at "work"!!!

Sweet pics Bros!! Joe had a pretty good few days... CofR last weekend and Shuksan a week later. Great job... you must be sacrificing to the weather gods!!

Yo, we had a blast climbing at CofR on Sat, Sun, Monday. Climbed Bloody Fingers, Lost Pioneers, Animal Cracker, Thin Crisp, Rye Crisp, TR on Brown Flake among others. The park is in great shape as always and ready for some summer cragging!! Tell Burley (my home town) I said Howdy when ya'll pass through!! Rock on!! FYI- the pumps have not been water tested this year, so bring some water "cleaner" or plan on stocking up on water in town!! Have a blast!!!

Hey ya'll, I'll be over at the City climbing this weekend!! Hopefully it will be slow with everyone showing up next weekend. I'll post some a TR and some sweet pics for ya'll to Jonez on Next Week!! 85F and sunny... sounds like some PHAT climbing!!!

These pictures make me feel funny inside... think I need to be alone for a minute.

Great Climb Ty, and great pics. Did you have any company out there at all on the weekdays?? Looks pretty sweet!!

I have the Olympics poster hanging on West wall in my house and have spent some time drooling over it. As far as I can tell, it is accurate. Got it at REI, before they started charging to park.

I would throw your pack on and go find a long flight of stairs. Walk up and down till you are tired. There is a great set of about 270 stairs just east of the interstate off the LakeView Exit in Seattle. Have fun with the 100lb pack!!!

Yo, I was part of the party up there Oct 9th. First off, thanks A TON to all those there who helped us haul Steve off the glacier and down to the car. We got him into Seattle and to the ER. He went into surgery that night to set his broken tibia and fix his ankle. He went home Monday night (10th). I don't know all the details, but he'll be off his feet for 12 weeks at least and then PT starts. Again, thanks guys!!
