  1. Bacon, don't leave home with out it.
  2. "I told my wife when she turns 40, I'm gonna trade her in for two 20s. She replied, but I'm not wired for 220"...
  3. Someone's GF or SO may want to borrow this tool for other applications.
  4. Size 15, holy crap... On the bright side, if what they say about shoe size is true, I bet your popular with the ladies...
  5. Yes, narrow skins will inhibit your up-hill performance to a large enough degree it is worth extra money to get the right ones. I have some narrow skins on fatter/shaped skis and they don't bite well on steep terrain. Very frustrating doing the treadmill thing. Suppose it can't hurt to try out the ones you have but different conditions will yield different results. My narrow skins were fine on many outings but gave me serious problems the last few times I took them out.
  6. Yikes, I hope the toes have healed up?
  7. Red Rocks, Prussik, Tieton & Serpentine. Partners lost, lessons learned. Not enough Bacon in-between.
  8. I was wondering how one sees a target at 5 miles, let alone hits something at that range?
  9. I'm hoping Santa brings me an Eddy, like JH uses. For now, just doing clove hitch and back-up knots. Pretty straight forward but I don't think I would want to do it that way on anything harder than the corner, which I have ruthlessly dialed. Thought about getting the Cinch but it does not work with bigger ropes. I tinkered with the silent partner last year but think I like the Eddy set-up better, even though I have not tried one yet. I'm hoping I can be a bad ass like JH and do some harder solos once I get the system dialed in. Any other suggestions?
  10. Don't know as I only use genuine heroin, never tried the mdone.
  11. Seems I remember reading about an epic last year when a gal lost her shoe on Black Orpheous or Eagle Dance. Maybe it was hers?
  12. watcha done? Just runnin the corner and getting the rope solo thingy figured out. Still fun though.
  13. I epic'd on my first attempt on the route... We got to the crux pitch just before dark and bailed off nuts and got back to the car a couple hours before sun up. Came back a year or so later and finished with it daylight to spare. Got any pics of that crux pitch your gonna post up? I love the way you step out over the abyss to the perfect finger crack.
  14. Since I'm not fully geared up for ice, I've had the big B all to myself the past couple days. Down right balmy with no wind.
  15. I think it might have been last call today, looking at the forecast. Good to see you guys gett'n at it while the get'ns good.
  16. Very Cool. I love that route. That 5.9 corner is one of the coolest pitches I've ever done. As is the layback above it. Love the mural as well. I remember when you said you were starting it...
  17. I first noticed the pin gone at least a month or two ago.
  18. Stashed in your basement, I think...
  19. Prolly chatting w me.
  20. I did not notice me there... I think the second had some trouble cleaning the gear.
