    Ten Years

  4. I would like a link to a link to another link! seriously, I will be supporting this good looking film
  5. never heard or read about it being done? but been looking at it for awhile. looks like another mt garfeild-long slabs
  6. I think matt was going to add bolts to a few belays that lack bomber natural gear, not every belay?
  7. I still think crossing zion is the funniest, most deppressing book about the pursuit of climbing mountains. the guy is local too, not loco
  8. you could be in a horror flick with that look. freddie kruger?
  9. pms kukuzckas book is rad. the guy does the first winter ascent on dhaulagiri, gets frostbite on his feet and then hikes over french pass to do the first winter ascent of cho oyu! books hard to come by. its on amazon for 150-200$. I wish I would of bought krzysick wielickis book about doing all the 8000s saw it in rei in 99? but didnt buy it, havent found it since[for cheap]. amazon has it for 315$
  10. Above the clouds-antolio bourkakeev? I dont think i saw this one on the list. good book
  11. #1-my vertical world/jerzy kukuzcka #2-crossing zion/keith johnson #3-touching the void/joe simpson #4-the climb up to hell/jack olson #5-the seventh grade/reinhold messner
  12. Oh my god, mr kukuzcka is flippin in his grave! my vertical world by jerzy. not one epic but many. the hardest sob ever![hope i didnt miss it above if so nevermind]
  13. Nasty weather, heavy snowfall,and big avalanche county. other than that it should be doable. After I did 98% of it in summer of 98 I was thinking that it would make a spectacular winter climb. havent heard or read about it being done in winter?
  14. Gotta be a reason most of the new school kids are going without leashes. dane nailed it right on the head
  15. the best looking building in kent is a jail, that says alot mark. but we all end up in kent sooner or later
  16. quick story about o-rock, in sept 1988 went in with skis[no axe/pons] on my back and began going up the little headwall,which was hardish snow at the base but soon as we were quite high on it it turned to ice/hard snow.luckily had some steps from a climber a couple days before but still we was scared shitless, as any slip would mean a nasty injury/death. lesson learned
  17. Its the mighty tooth not chair. have fun
  18. bruce i have the above items for sale. pm me if interested
