DPS

Black Diamond made one a few years ago. It fit on the end of their Alpamayo ice axe, SMC Shuksan, REI axe, or similar.

This reminds me of the recent US supreme court decision that allows local governments to take land from individuals and give it private land developers so they can turn a profit. Only in this case its backwards.

No, I did not nail green dragon, but it did rain one time.

I nailed when I did it, but that was before the social conscience that is CC.com was in existence. Now I know better.

That's why I drive an 11 year old pick up truck that the neighbors complain about. Gotta keep up appearances.

Partner found.

Ummm, I'm not rich and I belong to the Sammamish Club.

Swimmingly.

I am looking for a climbing partner for this Saturday. Prefer alpine. Please email bighurtbob@hotmail.com if interested. Thanks.

Hug it out bitch.

[quote The offwidth move on G&M gets the full-value mark in my book! I think that's the only time I've ever road-runnered. Seriously freaked my wife and belayer out! It helps if you are small. My daughter cruised it when she was 10.

I recall seeing that bolt back in 1997. I thought it an odd place for a bolt.

Local climber. Died on Slipstream with Mark Biebe (sp?)

I am looking for a climbing partner for Sun-Monday. I am interested in NE Face of Eldorado, but will consider other options. PM or email if interested.

Yes, he mentioned flying to some friends of his who were on the South Face. I got the impression he was a bush pilot of some sort.

His name was Aidan. I told him I thought he was Croft, as he looked very similar, he just laughed. He was a super nice, encouraging guy.

There are a lot of ultra runners who run what many would consider multiday treks. One woman ran 300 miles with no stops: http://www.srichinmoyraces.org/us/transcendence/ultrarunning/300milerun

I know a number of folks who have done this run in less than half the time.

Matt, I sent you a PM.

MVS and I did the North Ridge from the toe. The lower ridge was definitely the most technical at about 5.6. The most memorable moves were going around a gendarme on the first pitch. Report here: http://www.mountainwerks.org/cma/2002/forbidden.htm

Looking for a climbing partner for Saturday. I don't have any particular objective in mind. Beginners ok, as I am currently leading 5.4. Please PM me if interested.

I am looking for a climbing partner for one day next week, either Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't have an objective in mind. Please send a PM if interested. Thanks.

Plastic kiddy sled. It tried to run me down while going downhill. I used sled brakes with some measure of success. I would recommend buying a plastic kiddy sled and rigging it with ridged poles that attach to your hips and the front of the sled. This will keep it from running you down and will give it lateral support while side hilling.
