I'll be learning myself aid climbing at squamish on sunday. Anyone want to go? E-mail me at salbrecher@hotmail.com

$13 for porn!? Maybe the pages are made of that paper they use for some maps that is "water proof" and tear resistant.

Isn't Exit 38 an old rock quarry?

OMG! It's rock, let it go.

I read the Alpinist mag for free at Chapters as I wait for my bus home . Missed a few busses though.

Looks like a river to me, unless that ocean has gravel bars.

About concerns for your liners getting wet, I hear it's so dry on the upper mountain that anything dries (sublimation...I think) even though it's -umpteen degrees. Carry an extra liner and over sock in a ziplock just for summit day though.

Drew, I'm quitting the movie theather in a few weeks if you want me to put in a good word for you . Not only will you get free movies but you can live off the free popcorn and pop!

CPB

Ethics shmesics, people are so touchy . Can't wait to see what people say when I'm pounding the shit out of some free routes

Self belay is fine if I had a whole bunch of gear but I don't have enough not to be top roping and pulling the gear beneath me .

I have a pair of the ascentions and the glue is peeling off. This is the second pair it's happend to this year! I think i'll wait till they get more skins in stock till i take em back.

Is that legal

My partner triggered a 40cm (15") slab on Mt seymour today as we were putsing around on some mixed terrain. I was belaying about 30 feet below him and was bracing myself above a tree as the slab rushed by and around me. Same guy who Jordop was skiing with, he must be bad luck .

That's 6'7" sprayshaw

My first time skiing when I was 5 my dad took my brother sister and I into the backcountry just off a local ski hill. when we stopped for lunch I took off my skiis and was walking around when I went into a well up to my neck. I stopped myself with my arms but could feel the snow giving. My dad thought it was soooooo funny

I'm just wondering what the the standard etiqette is on dry tooling at local crags? Is it frowned upon? Will people TRY to kick my ass? Anybody know any areas in Squamish where one can do it?

Keeping it simple makes sence. I'm not so good at placing pro (I started leading last summer) which is one of the main reasons I want to aid.

So today I spent the rest of my student loan and bought some more gear for my bare bones rack . The Squamish forecast is for rain and i'm ready to introduce myself to some aid climbing misery on solo top rope. does anyone have some tips that they found particularly helpfull when they started aid climbing? I just want to cut the learning curve as much as possible, if there even is a learning curve with aid

Mtn Mouse, I totaly agree on the potatoes. I'll even bring em on day trips. I wrap them in tinfoil with lots of salt and pepper, mmmmmm.

No wonder his pieces kept popping
