Winter

On the CPR front, the standard in the backcountry is 30 minutes. If they aren't back or on advanced life by then, there is very little chance of saving any brain functions.

My ass.

I thought the argument was that with a screaner the rope was stretched out when it shock loaded the piece so you get more force on the pro.

I thought he as a "poxy skinny sport climber."

Sorry to hear about your knee cj. Must have sounded like Pete bitching about his skins!!

Uh yeah, no kidding unless I'm really tired or really wasted. Even wasted I wonder if I'm a safer driver sometimes.

They're planning to reintroduce the minibus in 2005 or 2006. Check it out. Looks so so.

My fiance totalled my 4Runner by driving head on into a large white cargo van at 40mph+. She emerged unscathed but ripped the front axil off the car. I'd say its pretty damn safe, and she was just as bad a driver in a station wagon. Now I've got a '79 VW ASI Riviera Camper!!

Has anyone gotten it in the mail yet? I was recently given a subscription, and I want to know if its working. Thanks.

Sweet Pics Shred. Great Weekend!! And we left a little present for the next group of cc'ers to invade Tilly Jane, but you'll need to know where to find it.

There's also the Elk-King Mt. traverse in the Coast Range. You can find directions to Carver at the Portland Rock Gym's web site. Punch it into Google.

The Cosmic Wall on the Ogre at Castle Crags. 6-8 pitches of 5.6-ish on granite in an alpine setting with a narrow little summit. Schweet!

Jackasses.

Check it out.

So I went into buy a new pair of shoes at OMC and looked at the 5.10 something. The young tyke says "Oh yeah but there not too good for heel hooking." And I say "Yeah, but I'll use 'em for the alpine." And he says, "Yeah well I heel hook all the time in the alpine and I wouldn't get them." I said "Thanks for the advice. I'll take 'em at $50 off retail sparky." Jackass.

Castle Rock.

Nice TR. I also got spanked by Blue Light on Saturday afternoon. Managed to thrutch up the climb next to it. Saw Tex, GF, MtnHigh and Smokeshow out by Staedner. Chopper rocks.

cams are aid

Sit around your house at night and clip a draw. Hang it from a light or something and just clip it like 10000 times over the course of a few nights at home and you won't have a problem.

way more classicer

Ome Daiber's first ascent of Liberty Ridge is WAY more classic.

Yeah yeah but how did Clint get untied from the three chumps that fell to their gruesome deaths?!!

Clint rules. What happened at the end?! I thought he was ties into the chumps that fell.

Ahh Phish in Vegas. Phish haters suck. Phish ain't everything but it is a damn good time. Saw them for the Halloween run in '98 when they played Loaded - what a sweet album. Enjoy - I'd stick to sport climbing after a heavy night of partying in Vegas.

prg's a good place to stay in shape. you'll also meet climbing partners there. its sort of pricey but if you're in the city instead of the freakin burbs in the best choice.
