Winter

There were some pretty sweet bumps under the summit chair at alpental last time I was there over the NYE weekend - big and soft.

Wow that looks really boring and a horrible place to visit. Sure glad I've been at my desk and climbing in the gym since October.

Sorry to hear that man. I had to put my cat down last year - best friend for 13-14 years. Rough. I feel your pain. Cats rule.

Dude, I love rippin the nar on my DH boards!

My dad has a bigger dick than your dad. And this thred is a bigger piece of shit than you could squeeze out in a portaledge at 21,233 ft on an A4++, D12 wall in 6 of the seven continents. What ever happened to finding out who retrobolted the Optimist and actually talking about climbing?

I'd just like to point out that this thread was originally about the Optimists, and we still don't have any solid info on who exactly retro-bolted it and whether the FA gives a shit or not. The rest of this thread is just a bunch of regurgitated BS that's been debated ad nauseum on this web site.

Smith and bolting ethics. Come on. :laf: :laf: Seriously, you're killing me. Make the pain stop.

Can the mods please move this to the Kansas forum?

Clearly such evil could only be perpetrated by the Dalai Llama and the Tibetan militia. If we're all goin down at least a little irony would help lighten the mood.

Here's a pretty good close-up.

y'all got up and down and had a successful day. congrats. looks like fun.

Kind of like how they finished off the Chargers when they had the chance? Oh wait ... nevermind. Kind of like how they cam out and kicked some ass in the second half of SB XL? Oh wait ... uhhh ... yeah. Then again, it is the Cowgirls.

seems like there's some sensitivity training in order here ...

The turns on the 31st were sweeeetttt!

A friend of mine just got back from Donner Pass after a NYE trip down there. The conditions sucked - not very good snow. Don't know what's happened since then. Check out the Sierra Club hut at Donner Pass - there is lots of touring rights around there - I haven't been there, but apparently its pretty good when the snow is good. There's a Sierra Club lodge at the Pass and then a hut that's about a 3 hour skin in.

I think it was done by this guy: zO68e2h8dKM

I don't know - has their paranoia scored them a sweet job yet?

paranoid drivel! try looking in the want ads if you need a job. now back to your invectuinousness and your vasectomosityosis.

i'd work out too if my face looked like that.

I give - you uncovered my true invetivenessiss. Now I'll STFU if someone will pay me. Who wants to hire me? I can't wait to strike it rich!

pffft ... looks chossy compared to Oregon.

Thanks - just watched the vid - all you other hosers need to eat crow because they showed the center tape being removed -"skinnin it back" so to say. The glue is applied underneath and the tape is reapplied. Good to know.

The world's security is dependent upon the environment. They are one in the same. People will kill each other to get the air, water and food they need to feed their families.

Ah the plot thickens. Do you have the link to vid? If not, I can find it. I had heard this same thing but was trying to confirm. Kind of weird they wouldn't put it in the instructions inserted in the package.
