Pope - Great thread. Always protect your belayer. That first piece saves a factor 2 fall and the belayer. And one last thing - Bubble Gum.

Jon - You are the Man. Great job!

Just go climb - It's all good.

Hey Blakely - You still with Microhard?

I've always climbed on the Metolious TCU's and believed in them. However I agree with Charlie (god damn hindsight) if I had to rebuild my rack it would be Aliens.

Dick and Dan Larson must be related. Inbreeding is not a good thing.

Dood - Awesum

Hey Strickland- I was thumbing through a back issue of R&I and noticed the name Will Strickland (coincedence?) on an Urban Cragger article. Was that you?

Dan - take foot out of mouth. Please. A sixty meter rope is considered long on glaicers. Sounds like Erik's is the best rope, go for it.

In many traditional climbing books, it often advises the reader to sport climb in order to sharpen the mental skills for trad climbing. (just an unsolicited opinion) Back to the subject. I've always loved the name "seven Virgins and a Mule" even though the climb is lame.

Something to mull over on a boring Monday morning.

Andy, your work over many years is greatly appreciated and highly respected. Thank you. And thank you Lucky for bringing this to our attention.

A buddy of mine leaves this Friday for the Polish as well. South America rocks for great cheap trips! Just go for it.

If you have a wheel on your mouse for scrolling up and down webpages. Just hold down the Ctrl key and scroll up using the wheel. The fonts should get bigger. I use that on PowerPoint, Word documents, Project, and Excel as well.

I agree there are walls all over. Porters, mules, food is dependable and cheap. When I was there I met aguy from Ney York who said he goes there every June/July because of the number of possible first ascents. He has an incredible tick list. It's all about time and aclimitazation (sp). Good luck - Peru Rules

I'm finding that I'm having more time to climb now that I'm married. During the corting ritual I felt more obliged to stay at home. I'm starting to line up my spring and summer tick list, and most of them I'll need my climbing brothers. ¿Bowling?

Dude - Sally Raphael? Whoa

Good Luck TG. Another friend of mine (from Seattle)is heading out Friday. Watch those crazy clouds!! Was there a few years ago via the Polish Glacier, great people, great climb. We decended via the Routa Normal - watch you equipment carefully!!!

Hide - and for god's sake don't get your hands near them. If you ask them any questions....well.... you asked for it.

Whomever the joker, he's not wearing a seatbelt.
