fuckit, got too antsy and bought a 80m. If I hate it or the halves turn out to be a better option I'll return it. Thank you backcountry unlimited return policy

gonna get a new rope. for climbing in hyalite a 80 would be sick, pretty much everything can be rapped in 40m. to people who have climbed in cody, does this hold true? I'm going this weekend so I guess I can find out for myself but I'd rather ask the interwebs. I'm kinda guessing that 60m half ropes are a better option but that costs $360. Also I'll be using it over the summer at index where having a long cord is killer. My fat ass hates actually falling on halfropes, making me lean towards the 80... discuss

yeah I'm one of the specks on launch ledge in the new world order video... couldn't tell you which one specifically but nevertheless a claim to fame.

I can't tell if it has slots for ice clippers. perhaps you could enlighten me...

good luck on your quest mark. The last time he got out was with me on inspiration in early august. too long....

head down to oly mark, the crew there will (hopefully) take my words to heart when i say you're a solid climber and need to get out on some rock. you better be bringing your tools back to school, any climbing clubs that'll take you to those fabled east coast ice destinations?

this time of year not many people are staying up there... is the shelter even open in the winter?

actually I'm not sorry, you're just stupid.

most leader falls are not painful or dangerous. sorry but your fucking wrong and don't understand shit.

you're telling me that theres a good reason to own a semi automatic assault rifle style shotgun with a detachable box magazine? You can't shoot skeet or hunt anything with them as the barrel is too short to pattern well or have a good swing, and you can only have 3 rounds in the gun anyway. totally pointless, unless you're going to kill people.

Agreed 100% but I think he is part of a very small minority of gun owners. unfortunately when one of them acts out they can do a lot of damage. btw guns like the saiga 12 or mac 11 are so stupid. Unless you are killing people with them (stupid thing to do) you just eat up ammo and running around shooting trees in half gets old quick (at least for me it did). I've shot AKs and they're kind of fun but again I don't really see the point unless you are killing people. oh and another thing, I'll be in cody for MLK weekend, maybe see you out on the ice!

I need something to keep me amused until I can get back to the ice and school in MT this weekend, pissing into the wind on the internet is serving that purpose.

your argument is foolish. Name calling has nothing to do with the fact that we DO NOT live in a police state.

cops that stop and beat up black people because they're racist fucks or any of the multitude of cops that have harassed me personally for doing nothing is not alright. I have a deep mistrust of police officers because I know firsthand that they will break the law to fuck over people. However if a asshole like this guy just shot up a ranger in a national park and could be trying to conceal himself within a crowd of tourons up at paradise go ahead and get people to kneel and be checked out. better than letting them drive down the road and get the shit shot out of them by a Siega-12 wielding madman. next time you find yourself in such a situation please start whining about your rights and get tazed by a nervous and overeager rook. sure you could sue him afterwards but I think you'd be missing the point.

seems like a reasonable measure after a ranger was shot and killed less than a mile away... REALLY NOW WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

no need to fear the mixed. that sounds like a blast and if I had enough motivation I'd try and go out in the next few days. I think I'll just wait to go back to bozeman and then Cody over MLK weekend. no scary snow cones.

that sure looks like the DAS that I got a few years back off the patagonia website for 175... hmmm, the poop green color is army surplus or something.

tight trees in washington is a fucking wall. have fun skiing through that.

so the crux is always a solo, no matter what condition it is in. awesome! Might have to save that one until my balls grow to the size of small watermelons.

darrington rocks. I've only spent 2 days there but it was fantastic and I can't wait to go back. who/what chopped the bolt on big tree 2000?! the crux is a lot spicier without it.

yeah saw this clip at the icefest. super proud. does bingo world get fatter (like WI5) later in the season? I'd love to give it a go but looking at it a couple days later I couldn't help but notice it's only 12 in in diameter at the bottom. even leading it with screws I wouldn't trust one until 50 feet where it fattens up to a whole 4 feet wide...

on easier alpine climbs I'll lead on a single halfrope, like 8.6 in diameter. I don't fall and it works well for me.

climbed a decent pitch of WI3 in between the 2 other lines taked about above snow lake. the top delaminated when I climbed on it and I'm not used to the quality of ice here in washington. I traversed right over the side of the gully and climbed the trees cause I trusted them more than the ice. Screws went in and then wiggled around in their holes, so I didn't place them. I was terrified. Go get it!

YES CAN'T WAIT TO GET CLOBBERED BY FALLING WA PILLARS!!! SO STOKED
