  1. Ahhh... young mountaineers are a great thing to hear about! Good job fellas - keep going! Great pics!
  2. i doubt he'd be sober enough to think anything sensible of it at all! sky n' company's antics impress me far more than proto-hippie-hedonism Kerouac and Hemmingway are drunk right now, contemplating the nature of an adventurous lifestyle. Jaffy is the one who would really appreciate it!
  3. Surely, Bridwell is hangin his head...
  4. one of the few, I know. I know a few who talk the talk - on the showroom floor but can't figure out an ATC... Good to know that a few good climbers still exist in the ranks of "Really Expensive Items." In my case it's "Recycled Employee Income". Actually I try to be very selective and cautious in the advice I give to customers, in regards to climbing. Usually I reccomend people buy a book or sign up for a course, rather than talking shop with the good folks from REI. Just because we work around the product, doesn't make us experts Too funny! If only the job paid a bit better, huh?
  5. This is the sort of thing that makes me go there less and less - luckily I have a local climbing-only shop that caters to dirtbags like me but unfortunately there is only one place to use your dividend... And I'm surprised that as each year passes that I still manage to accumulate one!
  6. I think this beats the time Kevino had to use his nut tool as a utensil. Resume shoveling! A knifeblade, bugaboo, or longdong works well in a pinch, too!
  7. Deep-water soloing minus the deep water - I suppose when you've just got to go ropeless this is the way to do it! Its nice to see fewer ass shots of someone as they are placing gear. Great top-down view!
  8. Looks like some interesting mixed climbing on the summit block... did you do any recon or was it a quick trip down once you got up there?
  9. What's the snowpack like?
  10. one of the few, I know. I know a few who talk the talk - on the showroom floor but can't figure out an ATC... Good to know that a few good climbers still exist in the ranks of "Really Expensive Items."
  11. So the RE:I'ers do actually get out... Nice shot going up the summit ridge.
  12. Geoff did you unclip an anchor this time?
  13. What an adventure!! Nice work!
  14. This time of year, I would expect that route to be pretty snowy and slow and not rock-shoe friendly. My comment was for future reference. That said, if you have the skill, forethought and some fortitude, it is less hassle than rapping through the crowds, even in May. Buh duh duh...
  15. Looks interesting... was it hot when you were there?
  16. You guys were lucky the whiteout gave you a window... Nice work! How did the Mazama Glacier route look - just east of the south spur?
  17. One would hope that the Mazamas exercise more caution than that, but never underestimate the stupidity of people in the masses!
  18. These are the same people that ask you how you get the rope up there... Any pics or am I to use my imagination?
  19. Looks like you had pretty good weather... How long did it take to get to the P3 ledge?
  20. Aw yeah, the claymation violence never gets old... This is funny shit! But to throw in my stance, Beckey is a northwesterner so I have to root for him. Chounaird on the other hand has a lot associated with his name and is synonymous with everything from big mountain to big wall. Both are great and both are well skilled in their craft. Since, however, Beckey is STILL climbing, he gets the win at the Celeb Death Match... unless chounaird has a magic RURP that gets huge enough to decapitate when it is wet, or something!
