    Which way to go? Should stay kinda low on the right :-

    KK on the top. That thing looks more like a turtle than a cannon...

    Even with the branches-wacking, kills studying anytime...

     

  2. And there was much more to it!!! Some diarrhea, people getting stiff, tent almost flying off, freaking rats chewing gear... oh, gosh!!

    Anyway, my fun part was to listen KK and J plan every kind of option on how to go back home for the whole descent (triple A was the best), just to find out at the car that I got the keys back... I'm retarded for forgetting them at camp... anyway, it was a good sunrise while going back to pick them up.

    About the route, I'm pretty sure we missed by a few feet only, going into the "narrow face" right of the chimney instead of left, up the more slabby one. Would love to go back with someone that knows the route, or if someone posts a pic of the start of the first pitch, will be very much appreciated...

    Thanks to all my partners, lotta fun, and have to go back to get that sling, really saved me of a bad one...

  3. Hi, Friends. If you could add that feature where each profile could be linked to all the members in the climbers party (i.e. the climb will show up in the profile of those in the climb, not only in that of the one that post it), that would be awesome :-)

     

    Thanks!

    Pal, what you are saying is cool, I don't disagree with you. Exploring more is great. But you can post that same idea in the "Ideas" forum (or something the like if that does not exist :-).

    In each of our post, at least a lot of us, we do it just to share with friends and family that do not know Hood is even in the map (my folks read this crap from Argentina). Or friends that we don't see for months or years. So to throw the idea of "no posting" in other people's thread because there are other post of the same routes, I believe you push people not to post (like Vitalyi mentioned).

     

    I don't mind if there are 758 post of the south route of Hood, I'll watch the one from my friends and enjoy it.

     

    BTW, nice "editing" of your post ;-) No need to fight between fellow climbers, just a little less spraying and we are all cool :-)

    Cheers, buddy...

  5. BTW, @shapp...

     

    Dude, I don't think you were totally negative, but neither neutral and far away from positive. Got interested in your grandioso speech, and had to check your TRs. Buddy, just a couple of river rafting and a 2-pitches cragging climb. I honestly don't get why the need for your comment that can drive people not to post REAL climbs in this site, with awesome pics of the alpine, as opposed to your pics taking a shower somewhere or a cover dick in a gas tank :wazup: . Moderators should note these "sprays" without justification and act accordingly. Bad karma, Dude :tdown:
