I hope you like to suffer! ice climbing is kinda a masacistic desire. You're cold all the time, get the screamin barfies, get hurt if you fall (just found that out yesterday), get hit by falling ice, and did I mention you get cold. Just be careful when you're learning, it is totally different from rock.

why do people hate sultan so much, its just a bunch of friendly rednecks.. Just to clear things up, we put in those lights for one reason - to piss you off!

elite sprayforce team member!!

to pet our own egos and try to sound cool!!

Oh yes, I can't believe I didn't think of that. "Celestine Prophecy".... HUHHH. where do I buy that? middleschoolwarcraftnerds.com?

For Hyalite, as of this last weekend Twin falls was out along with G2 and everything else. However, it has been colder here and we might have some stuff formed up by the end of next week. I did twin in really thin and wet conditions two sundays ago and was totally stoked, but now im waiting again. We watched cleo's completely collapse in front of us as soon as we finished rapping down twin (scary).

good times, such a cool route in a cool place. how was the ice? dry, soaked?

I have read extreme alpinism, its great. Is the Gadd book you speak of Ice and mixed climbing? It sounds like I should check out the Horst and RWW books because I can onsight tens and redpoint some elevens on trad and would love to break into twelves. Thank you for all your info!

Which ones are worth while. I've always been taking random training advice from random climbers. I am pretty sick of trying to piece stuff together and form my own exercises and cycles. I am not looking for general cardio training, but actual rock/ice training advice. I know there are several out there ie. (falcon guide and mountaineers), but want to know which most people prefer. Any info would be appreciated.

best ski movie ive seen....ever! hooray for ski porn. those frenchies that were flying in the wing suits were effin crazy! unreal

that gyser is pretty sweet/powerfull

HMMMMM!!

ice is forming up there. climbed twin on sunday and saw people up on G2. its coming soon, get on out here for the fest.

nice job guys. can't wait to go down over thanksgiving!! thanks for the motivation. How would you compare the ratings to somewhere like index or yosemite.

or gain education can you. parents money you mooch. climb and ski everyday you will.

Well I graduated trad school in Index and now im gonna graduate from MSU this year with a bachelors in Ripping Pow and a minor in ice climbing. I think I might go to grad school in AK!!!

those routes are supposed to be wicked hard!! or so someone told me?

I like carharts on cool days and they rock for aiding. I have fell in love with some lightweight stretchy OR pants for free climbing in all temps.

Talk to Jason up in index. The dude with the green tacoma with the huge grill on the front. I don't have his # but he's always up in index.

my mentor, mr. Stephen Schrader put me on MR. Clean for my first roped climb!! My first lead was again under his supervision on sideshow 10d. I whipped a few times and got scared shitless. He told me to keep going because I was rocking... Effin psycho!!

Bozeman takes the cake.... I can grab an hour of climbing at practice rock, scortched, the pass, or the canyon after class! Hyalite in the winter, spend the entire weekend at pipestone, paradise valley. The night life is decent, Arts fartsy little town. Mt. Cowan cirque is pretty badass to do some alpine cragging and the Beartooths are an hour away. It is way chiller than Boulder for sure!!

bingo I'll third that

Argus, quit blabbin and git out climbin!

come on now, if they want to sponsor the site there at least needs to be finger excercises like hang boards or something? what a bunch o posers!!
