Does anybody know if anything is forming up around Lillooet or Marble Canyon yet? Or is it still too warm? Man its been a warm start to the year...

I posted a rick roll.. when you click it the rick roll opens in a window that moves and when you try to exit it you have to click OK like 20 times to get out.. nothing serious, you just have to click OK 20 times...

G-Spotter is a pretty dope name.. took me a while to get it though..

I use protection 8D Theres many different types of varying effectiveness... theres an interesting study on it here..

never happened to me....

sadly I don't find them boring...

Im not gonna mention any names or what trip this was b/c I think some of the climbers on that trip may use this site. One time, I got invited to go with a group of people (one of which is a regular partner of mine and I have climbed with before) to do a grade IV alpine route. On the approach I listened to many stories of climbing long alpine routes... I eventually went up ahead and reached the bivi sites quickly. I then waited for an hour for my partners to arrive b/c a couple members decided to have a 1/2 hour 'decision making' time. They then persuaded the others to climb a different route to the bivi site up a long krumholtz slope insted of easy 3rd class rock. We bivied for the night and got up early for the climb. For some reason every small choice required a long 'decision making' time. It took forever to reach the base of the climb and I led the first pitch. It was fairly steep and you had to hang on your arms a bit but it was no more than 5.7. After spending 5 minutes on this short pitch I belayed the first person who tried it in mt boots, lowered off, changed to rock shoes, then re-climbed the pitch. Somehow the rope got put on the wrong side of some blocks and trees and the rope drag got terrible. After an hour of sorting out rope drag I just unclipped from the belay and started soloing up the next pitch (hauling a rope) and set up the next belay. I slept on my belay ledge for another hour while my team all changed shoes, repacked, sorted out the drag and climbed to me. I walked up the next easy (5.5) pitch without placing gear to save time and belayed another guy up, he told me how hard he was finding this climbing, then we belayed everyone else up. I soon realized that everyone was expecting me to lead everything and a couple members were not confident doing any leading or simul climbing one this long route... I suggested we go down after taking 10 hours (seriously!!) to get from camp to the top of Pitch 3.. after an hour 'decision making' time we started rapping down. I set up and found all the stations, went first and fixed the ropes ect.. Once off the rock I walked to camp... an hour later my partners show up by headlamp... These people were all really nice but were not prepared (except for a couple) to do this route, they asked me to go so I could ropegun (without being told).... I would climb with them again on easy routes but not on anything big again.

Good question... why didn't you? dont laugh now.. the anchor had a fixed line he had been using for cleaning earlier and I didn't see that my partner had set up the rope to have a 'powerpoint' to belay from.. so I just clipped to the shelf..

Oooooooooooo, just wait until the purple hippo reads this one. It's all good... Theres no other girls around here that will put up with him.lol very true... they stop wanting me when I won't stop boring them with climbing stories.....

So the approach is good right now???

ANybody been up there in the last few days? How much snow on the approach to Colfax?

Im sorry but bolts in alpine setting take away from the experience... Fixed pins here and there and slings for rap anchors are fine but bolts!!?! NO! I heard some guy say something about bolting belay and rap stations of the NEB of Slesse being a good idea and I was like NO! That would entirely ruin the routes appeal (big, remote) Im a firm believer in No Bolts in the alpine unless placed on lead by the FA Party... On unfamous peaks where nobody would put a route up the traditional way (ie.. infinite bliss) i guess its not the end of the world....

My GF is looking for boot for ice climbing. She is a size 6 women's. Boots need to be step-in crampon compatible and soid enough for steep ice. Will pay up to 300$ but would prefer cheaper...
