for multiday trips in the cold at elevation the reactor is unbeatable. It might weigh more initially, but as long as your just boiling water for freezedried meals and tea a single canister will easily last a week. cooking for 2 the pot is just about perfectly sized. I need to figure out how to jerry rig a hanging stove setup though...

should have been more clear, my mistake. the ax in one hand would be a standard 65 or 70 cm. It's a tool for self arrest, not a walking stick. the trekking pole provides support.

low angle glacier travel where you're worried about crevasse fall, ax in one hand and trekking pole in the other. yer not gonna die.

If you don't know how to use a PAS... or you're not sure if falling 30 feet is a good or bad idea

don't go to vantage, you'll save yourself the hassle of getting your skull stapled back together after being crushed by the constantly falling choss.

I'm doing a week or so trip to Yosemite in early june, Waddington range in late july, and I'd like to do as many spontaneous trips to the north cascades as money/weather will allow. I told some buddies I'd take them up rainier, might wait until august for that one. For the next few weeks I'm limited to clipping bolts on gallatin choss and extremely predawn starts for solo hikes in the bridgers right outside of town, as long as I'm back on campus around 10 am I can make it to class.

that's lame, did you get their names or maybe a handle here on CC? I'd toss a couple bucks that way depending on their financial situation...

forgot to add; I'll have all my climbing gear with me so all I need is a partner with a belay device (and also knows how to use it of course). I'd like to swing leads but i'll do the bulk of leading if it comes down to it, or vice versa, basically I want to climb up it. Last year I rapped down it coming off of green dragon and have been meaning to go back and climb it ever since.

I get out of school here in MT may 2nd and have to be back in olympia by the 5th to go to california with a buddy for a couple days, if the weather is decent I'd like to climb the DH/LA on friday the 4th, anyone willing to meet me for a day of climbin'? I've been lusting for index's granite for the last 8 months.

on icy ropes I'd rather have a toothed ascender. If you actually use them you'll see that they don't actually cut up the rope, something I was very worried about until I actually did some jugging on the petzl ascenders.

the Forrest Mjollnir, I'm pretty sure I've seen those go up for auction on supertopo every once or twice. They're marketed as collectors items! It's the hammer with interchangable picks right? like there's an aid pick, alpine pick, and cleaning pick. I'll have to try and make it over to leavenworth to climb with you for a couple days this summer curt, I miss hearing your stories of yesteryear.

I wonder, her boobs have to be fake don't they? My chiseled chest (which I consider a gift to those of the opposite gender, hey ladies ) isn't even close to her voluptuous waterbags, but I have never had the desire to get my penis modified into some rudimentary kind of vagina.

Whatever you decide to get, just make sure you actually use them. There's a special place in hell for those who buy expensive gear and just leave it in the closet.

petzl Quarks rock, if I could afford two sets of tools I'd pick some up, right now I just use Nomics. The rectangular shaft doesn't rotate when I hold it in the low dagger position and drive the picks into the ice like my vipers did (hydroformed shaft). They climb mixed and steep ice like a dream. If you have the income and commit to making a trip or two a year out to montana or up to banff I would definitely buy the more technical tools. Plus, after climbing some real waterfall ice things like liberty ridge will be a piece of cake (at least technically, the length is certainly a major part of the difficulty).

you can never own to many muscle shirts, especially when you bash trannies on the cascadeclimbers spray forum in your spare time.

eiffel tower, then you could both hold her hands when you walk her home (you are gentlemen, right?)

that border dispute is pretty dumb, seems like a glacier wouldn't be a good place for a missile silo.

the fact that she's suing is kinda lame, it's a private competition so therefore they can discriminate as much as they want. If I join a country club there better not be any blacks or jews, unless they are there in a role of servitude.

she had the largest, veiniest clitoris I'd ever seen...

I thought trannies were supposed to be gross, maybe that's just the canadian version, another reason why canada is way better than the states, besides the insane alcohol prices of course.

that would be a sin or some shit, if I was in washington I'd go with you, but instead I'll go climb some gallatin choss in the sun. good luck on your heathanistic quest.

stay safe in the early season, make sure you remember how to clean anchors and not do what this woman did. Best wishes for the injured.

oh, and surprisingly enough I have yet to receive a message from anyone. Maybe the PM's are broken again.

Is that all? Sure you don't want a steak and a blowjob as well? I wouldn't refuse that... The college cafeteria doesn't give us steak too often, and when they do it's dry and overcooked. What sorority did those nice girls you knew in college belong to off?
