let the adventure begin!

The only reason I like the sidelock is for a very specific reason. My old bails popped off my boots on lead multiple times so switching to the sidelock worked. They don't even make my boot anymore (for good reason). Speaking of which...where the hell are my mad rock boots?

wait till marcus gives his thumb's up or down. truly a discriminating man

kat?

pot is stupid small-useless

done with this quarter! anyone got weekdays off this week?

So this is for Rainier? OMFG!!!!! Please, please, continue to ignore me....

that would be one hell of a climb fo sho timing would have to be perfect

It's actually been climbed by an "anonymous party" who will write something next year for the AAJ. I guess it's not that hard (5.4ish) on that long center buttress. Too bad, but it guess that saves us all a lot of hard work.

Blow me FrankO

funny story about Mark L.... putting up birdland

along with the m-fin' rain!

you guys are total f'in retards. learn to read.

lake michagen has some sweet ice climbing when the waves freeze, and minneapolis has some sweet downspout ice farming

WHITE COLLAR SNOBS!!!!

ok tay!

ahhhh the internet!

That's sweet you guys went out and got some good climbing in. It's unforunate that Kent and Abiel (and some other winter faces) aren't very interesting looking or aesthetic with all trees and shrubs everwhere.

I still stand with my original (and 1st thread ever). Portland has a much better climbing scene. We have more slideshows, pub clubs, gyms, gear shops, and crags to get toghether. Blake's "herding cats" analogy is perfect. I still love bellingham and would much rather live there, but the in town climbing scene totally f'in blows.

V+ 5.9+ A2-

it could be good in 2 weeks? who knows. probably not much ice though. I say go check it out and bring your belay card and rock shoes if it doesn't work out! post what conditions you find for others

Guess you got that question wrong!

one board exam down, 8 finals and one board exam to go. i will be very drunk next fri night.

jt's exercise also works the serratus anterior, another very important scapular stabilizer. if that's boring, put both feel on a 65cm stability ball and try it. if that's boring do that plus extend one leg off the ball if that's boring do that plus both hands on a wobble board in addition if that's boring put ankle weights on the leg you have extended
