hahah. classic.

bump for reduction.

Ok Rob, we know where you learn your tricks.

fixed it. [video:youtube]

You got it. I love candy. Especially skittles.

cc.com- where everything is degraded by the lowest common denominator. I'm going climbing.

More like I went climbing last weekend, here is some beta on that exact climb. apples-apples.

? What did you do last weekend pee spotter?

I feel ya.

Ya that's one way. There's more than one way to skin a cat for sure.

The reason I would is because I spent a fair amount of time in the "dagger" position on my ice ax with my other hand pressed against the snow. If you're doing that, a second tool would help you.

Well you might want to. I didn't and was fine. But you do have to be good at self belay cause there are a few spots where you just "don't fall".

I would honestly. I've got a fair amount of experience on ice and Sherpa was a decent enough pill to swallow. It's not just the grade (like how steep it is) alone you have to contend with. Elevation, fitness, your partner's fitness/mental condition (is he psyched out), pro, weather, slushy snow conditions.

BTW- if you get some practice in I'll hit up the ICG with you.

Ya go for Sherpa Glacier first. I just ticked it last weekend. It's a seriously great climb, with enough exposure to keep you on your toes.

oh man you guys are bad. I hate that I laughed at that. Hope it doesn't happen.

ahhh nooooo!!! No bolts!!!!!

I thought I was a hardman too Josh but sometimes you can get over your head. All you need is some exposure and death runouts to help you reconsider what you are "comfortable" with. It's one thing being 10 feet off the deck and another 2,000 feet off the deck. It's much easier to get over your head in ice climbing IMO.

BUT SRSLY- STICK TO DAT ROCK. IF ONLY FOR SELFISH REASONS- I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR DEATH DEBATED ON THIS WEBSITE. JUST KIDDING. I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE.

Who's down for Rainier this weekend? Wait, is this the wrong place to ask this?

yep. 20% off for sure.

Ya I've got a 3 person hilleberg. Awesome but not made for Rainier in the summer. It can be stripped down to 8#.

Had any problems with it leaking?

nice stuff.
