CCH has shut its doors. Aliens are no longer being produced.

Dude you're sitting on a goldmine. $6,344 worth of Aliens. You could have a runaway weekend of cocaine and Vegas whores for that kind of money.

I love it when a plan comes together

There are plenty of nice spots near the Hogsback just above treeline. You could also camp in the forest near the lower seracs on the Coleman. Lots of options.

Relatively low volume of precipitation with extended cold and dry periods. Upper sections of many routes have had fatter ice compared to lower sections because limited source snow/water has only been able to feed the higher sections. Hence a route like The Tube is climbing like 5-, lower sections of Synchronicity are dry and thin, etc. Snow and warm temps should help fill everything out.

Olympians are specialists in their particular discipline, whether it be 400 m sprinting, gs skiing, or olympic weightlifting. CrossFit is not intended for specialists - in fact, CrossFit punishes the specialist because it's a program intended for general physical preparedness. The reason why military and emergency services people are drawn to it is because the workouts throw random shit at you: one day it'll be a high intensity metcon workout, the next it'll be a 1 rep max deadlift, the next a 10 km run. So if you're a firefighter or a cop and any given day on the job is likely to consist of unknown emergency events that could require endurance over a long period of time or short bursts of high strength, CrossFit training will help prepare for this. If you're an Olympic athlete you're going to be spending more time in a specialized training program to maximize your ability to perform your sport at the highest level. For instance, if you're a sprinter then rope climbing and muscle ups won't do much to help you win a gold medal. CrossFit mainsite programming is a blanket prescription. They provide a daily workout for everyone! Personally, I don't like to follow anything blindly and prefer to have control over how I program my workouts so I don't do CrossFit. And I think anyone who does really has to question this. But CrossFitters are extremely loyal so I'll expect at least one person to step in and defend the CrossFit mainpage programming. Now regarding the puking, this is a badge of honor among CrossFitters. All you have to do to verify my claim is to go to crossfit.com and read the workout comments for any given day. 1. is puking authorized for this WOD? 3...2...1!

54 yr old leading all Nose pitches in 15 hrs. Wow, that's impressive!!

I couldn't agree more! But if you're doing a CrossFit metcon workout with a 21-15-9 rep scheme, you are supposed to be going balls out. If you're taking breaks, drinking water, chatting, etc. you're doing it wrong. People puke regularly doing CrossFit - it's part of the game, regardless of whether you or I think it's a good workout. The mascot of CrossFit is a puking clown! I'm just telling it like it is dude.

Hi, anyone up for some ice tomorrow? Head up through Pemberton and either go toward Rambles or D'arcy. PM me if interested
-
a rep scheme like 21-15-9 is intended to be performed at a high intensity. Think puking and/or passing out. Regarless of the exercises involved, you should be ripping through a 21-15-9 in less than 20 minutes trying to target the phospho-glugacon metabolic pathway. Thus you're doing anaerobic work, gasping for air, not taking breaks, being ELITE. Anything less, you're a pussy. Puddles of puke, rhabdo, cuts, bruises and injuries are a badge of honor. You're on your way to elite fitness when your kidney fails.

ICE STOKE!!!
