Arc

I hope you guys aren't still pissed at me for drinking all that beer and taking the tap home.....If anyone is...im sorry, and promise to NOT do it again.

....never mind.

Jesus!

:ditto: I climbed a crack down in the Canyon lands which requires about 18 #3 Friends.....talk about a rack which can make ya look like a plumber.

Its not an unusual thing folks....Its's time for bears to ready themselves for winter..... I wouldnt be surprised if a bear sighting culminates into a bear attack up on the summit.....that would be the darnest thing to explain to the park service.

No doubt.

OK my friend......Sizes on the LSN Extremes...

Ahhh, I miss the guidos, actually I lie.....I dont miss them one bit. Ever climb up in the "gunks"? Thats where mt climbing began as a kid...then moved out west a few years ago, its a climbers candy land here. PM me, we can talk about the old neighborhood. I'll look out for that Parka for ya.

What are you going to climb with that in Brooklyn.....? Sunset Park Ridge? LOL.....Sorry......Just old stomping grounds from back in the day.

I dont disagree with you Tyree, I just like the lighter stuff for 8-10 day tours, and drop in on 50+ deg slopes all the time (which included the Mowich face on rainier), and have discovered that the freerides were a bit overkill for the touring that I do, plus I never set my din above 9 anyway......I love my knees. One thing is for sure, Fritschi's will out perform Dynafits anyday.

With dynfits, you have only one sole length that you can use for the bindings (drilling).... Get a pair of fritschis and you can adjust within a few different sole lengths....do you really wanna risk an acl inj with a high din of 14? Go with a pair of fritschi explorers (lighter than free rides) and have a decent din of 10 which I must admit from prior use on 60ft hucks, they never released. There ya go.

I can store it for you.

Scarpa Matrix is ok, I mean, I havent had any complaints. Sure do feel better than my ol' Denali xt's though.

The drinking has begun...... .......whats her name lead me to drink.

lol

For Sale again..........

I guess I'll stay home...... camp in the backyard, wax skis, watch a Warren Miller flick or something......perhaps even nurse a case of beer. Thanks.

Wish I could help ya that bud.......I'd love a VW van exactly like that. I'll get back to ya, gotta brainstorm how to make 2500 by this weekend.

Screw it.....Im losing my mind.

There are always lessons to be learned and CONSTRUCTIVE ideas to be expressed, but I think within the overall context, this statement has merit.

Just wondering if anyone is coming from Oly and or is interested in giving a straggler a ride (-car trouble), and perhaps doin' an overnighter up on the flats sometime this weekend. Anyway, if somone is game.....let my sorry ass know.

Cool deal..........

ygm

That's BS.....How can someone say that shit ? Screw this, I ain't climbing anymore.

........"Really Bad"= Anal x 2 Days Seriously, I don't think there is a clear cut answer, however..... I stuff my gear at the trail head, and however long it takes to get to my chosen camp is how long it's stuffed. I made the mistake of stuffing the heck out of my -20 bag for a 16 hr transit to Mckinley, left it as is, at base camp hours after arriving, it was no fun making that puppy spring back into shape....... ......Compress+Time+Lack of Anality+Cold= No Fun
