What route is that? ...

When were you doing the conditioning climbs? Generally it's accepted that anything sooner than 2 weeks before the climb doesn't strengthen you.

"Poland is a country, not a race or ethnicity." ahhmm... I'm with Dane. Definitely don't have a dog in this fight. Just thought you'd like to know the definition. eth·nic (thnk) adj. 1. a. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.

I have no dog in this fight but thought the quote amusing if it weren't so sadly ignorant. No historians here let alone a constitutional scholar. I'm definitely out of my league here but isn't it congress who proposes the amendment then the legislature who ratifies it? The courts then interpret the law.

Doesn't know how to carry a gun, clearly.

I'd tell you but I don't want to make the route crowded.

Nice pictures. What setup do you have?

Abucks- What do you think about the forecast. We're supposed to head up the Emmons on Thursday. I'm hoping to follow a boot path cause I don't want to break trail in 1-3 feet of snow! .SYNOPSIS...STEADY PRECIPITATION WILL GIVE WAY TO SHOWERS TODAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THERE WILL BE A RELATIVE BREAK IN THE WEATHER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THEN AN UNSEASONABLY WET PACIFIC FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND SNOW TO MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CLIMBERS CAN EXPECT ONE AND A HALF TO THREE FEET OF SNOWFALL AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS. SHOWERY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW ON THURSDAY...WITH DRIER WEATHER LIKELY FRIDAY AND THIS WEEKEND.

price lowered.

I'm not completely sure but unless it happened very recently I doubt it happened.

Have a group going late this next week. Probably the best weather day is Friday with a 20% chance of rain/snow. Sounds pretty bad.

I've had problems breaking into the 10's too but I mainly climb at Index and Leavenworth. This year I've really been working on and have sent Sag, Rattletale, Breakfast, ect. routinely. Have you tried these? If, not, I'd start with breakfast, then Sag, then Rattletale. I agree with much of what has been said- mainly mental, falls are more common. But I find the 10's super fun!

And so long as you put in gear timberjack is fine. I'd think twice about it though Mark. It's turned back more than 1 5.8/9 leader.

Gently used. They just stretched too much for me. 80$ OBO. Pictures of shoes. Price lowered.

If you go to Index tomorrow you should do Roger's Corner. It stays dry in the rain.

Maybbbbbeeee cam. I'd not like to test that theory.

Ya I know. Unfortunate all around for sure. I know many films have been done without the use of much additional gear.

Dude glasko, if you're going to spray get the numbers right. It's 60 new bolts on top of 450 existing bolts. You can't blame Lama for the existing bolts. Cmon man.

To be fair, again David Lama: "The current status is that the project is on hold until next year. The entire shoulder and wall have been cleaned, except for bolts used for the production which will definitely be removed after next years attempt. "

"Cesare Maestri, who made the first ascent in 1970, left an entire highway of bolts and pitons in the mountain’s south-east face, which has nothing to do with today’s climbing ethics. Still, it’s improbable that more than a dozen climbers would have reached Cerro Torre’s peak if it wasn’t for that bolt-trail." -David Lama

Nice plug. My partner showed me that yesterday while climbing.
