ooooo! oooo!!!!!! Leavenworth reticent hardman smackdown 2006! Pete, you're such a pussy for caving in. Ron, you're a pussy for getting upset. Now I'm going to have to reveal your secret "crag" up in the hills. And Rolf, well, you're...uh....uh...a.....just a meany meanerson. Capillini should take the lot of you to his basement for ball-gagging, and video-taping.

Chirp, if you're going to get a megamid with a floor, you might as well get one of those fancy new black diamond tents. I still absolutely love my betalite tarp. Haven't used a tent for summer/fall/spring and most of winter in 3 years now.

oh yeah, i'm totally being held back by that exra ounce. Plus you've got an extra device in case you drop yours for rappin n' stuff.

I don't think Alan got the 2nd ascent, his partner and him had to bail very near the top (i think). Rolf and Pete nabbed it a couple summers ago and found a bunch of bail gear when Erik and I were on the NF of Inspiration's 2nd ascent. They said it was pretty cool, but weren't calling it super sweet. The whole package on the north side of those peaks is the real deal fo sho. Pretty remote

Anyone mentioned the Apron on the Chief in Squamish???? That gets my vote hands down. Sooo many good times

An ATC AND a Gi-Gi in my opinion, is the best possible alpine setup. No fuss at the anchor, pull your partner up he/she doesn't have to clip in. have em fuck with the rack while you put em on the ATC, take em off the Gi-Gi when they are ready to go. Saves minutes per pitch and de-clusters the belay.

Well, I still am planning on doing this. I just haven't had any free time to work on it.

or Gasoline Fights

Unless you have some sort of disease or are old, just do it car to car in a day and suck it up.

I thought Rolling Rock was already shitty beer. In fact, I think bud has more flavor to it. The only difference is Rolling Rock costs more.

Agreed, thinking about the 5.8 chimney on CBR should bring a groan to anyone who's ever climbed it. hardest pitch on the climb fo sho. Funny, I've done the NW face of N early twice and still, even with visual, have no recollection of that pitch. I remember tweaky 5.8 start, the nice steppy cracks past the trees, the o.w., the slab to the fun overhang, the summit scramble. oh well. every climb scares me and I want my mom. I want your mom too though

PLEASE TO BE POSTING ME BETA NOW

i don't remember that pitch?

i'd love to see this

i ran to the top once, it was fun. more fun was running down and leaping mega distances while frantically trying not to face plant.

fuck i don't know, i don't have a map and i can't remember shit anymore

he don't care, we will get by

i agree with crackers. get the cheapest pair out there with sticky rubber that fits and doesn't weigh over two pounds. they're all the same. But go big on the insole purchase to make up for the shoe.

not far, it's about 1/2way up i'd say.

Well i've seen recent pics of Colonial and Colfax, and it's amazing! how fast they melted out in just one week. I'm assuming greybeard has suffered much the same fate, but I haven't seen a pic as of recently. Now don't give me too much shit about being lazy, if I lived closer, I'd be down to just go and see for myself. But gas is now well over $3/gallon. So if you've got a shot of greybeard from the past few days, lemee know please!

P.S. this route is one of those "anytime" climbs I think. Basically it gets mega sun and has nothing on top of it to melt. It would be a really fun spring climb if the sun's out

PM Dberdinka. I wasn't really paying attention in there. But I think it's Southwest facing.

gracias

actually, i went on my 6th attempt, but most of em weren't my fault! also, not so bad.
