Yeah, its pretty sweet. You ask him one question about a climb and he tells you current conditions, length of the route in meters, FA information, the rack you need, and what pitches will be hard or scary. Then he tells you all this info about every other route in the surrounding area.

Sorry Sobo, my GF can be a little slow.... JK Tamara

heres some free wood!

RuMR is probably the nicest guy on this forum.. cough* ahem*

Does he realize it isn't bolted?

talk about a fast way down!

Is anybody else interested in climbing 'Paymaster Couloir' this month? I'm interested but lacking a ride.

5.12b, WI6+, A5, M10 all R/X! Is that Canadian for III+ 5.9? No, that's the american translation for Canadian '5.9 A2'

5.12b, WI6+, A5, M10 all R/X!

lets go climb it then Dru!

What usually comes in through October in SW B.C or Northern Wahington? Ive heard of a route called Paymaster Couloir on Crazy Mountain, anybody know what kind of shape it would be in? What about Zero Gulley on Rideout? Colfax Peak ice routes?

I think with these cams you can think.. little, big or medium... you dont have to worry about range in inches b/c they basically cover everything...

Yes, you would be mistaken. The Pillar of Pi is the huge buttress with the rockfall scar in the photo...

What was the outcome of the last punch? Did he get a KO Most parents don't know how much their boys get in fights at school.... trust me, Im in HS.... nobody picks on me thoguh cuz Im fucking ripped!

Twas a good trip!

Ill do the east ridge. But Im gonna want to simul climb or solo it all b/c last time I was on it pitching it out seemed super retarded and frustrating.

agreed, I will do the same eventually. Ill probably give mine away to some poor high school student like me....

I think of that one RE cam that failed, a lot more RE cams held. Ive fallen on that exact same size/make of cam a few times. Im pretty sure metolius and BD cams have failed once or twice in the past too.

Here you go Tvash

I wish my Dad would brag for me online! Nobody ever congragulates me for doing TD alpine routes at 15.... they make fun of me b.c I don't have the fanciest gear on the market

Look at this crazy Palin video!

Hey Simple-Jack! Were you around and climbing back then? If you weren't, then you probably don't know what you're talking about. If you were, then I guess you're an "old fart" too. Nothing has changed in 30 years??????? As I noted before, there are tons more people today calling themselves "climbers". Thirty years ago you'd go out to the crags and if you didn't know most of the people, you probably knew of them, at least in the Northwest, thus it was very hard to pull off bad stunts like thievery. NOT SO ANYMORE. Thirty years ago, you didn't have racks of gear with numerous cams costing $35+ each. I'd guess there a good possibility that the current Index gear thief is some other kind of low-life, but I'd never rule out the possibility that it's someone who wants the gear to use it, i.e., a "climber". Sit down, Simple Jack. [img:center]http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/images/simplejack.jpg[/img] That was so M-M-M-M-MEAN!

Sure was a great route, even though its easy I still highly recommend it. I took my GF on it for her first trip in the mountains and she loved it, the 10m rope we carried stayed in the pack and we cruised up in a bit over 4 hours. 7-8 hours car to car. All four of us (me ,tamara, and two clubtreaders) had an excellent time. The lower slabs are friggin amazing!

Saw that when I tried the East Ridge..... its pretty big!
