I just got stood up on a date

I like my iceflow glove. no blown stiching. dries by the next day if near a heater, like everything else. doesn't dry if not near a heater, like everything else. Two years and about 150 pitches on em.

let's do smith or hood if the weather's good this weekend. Broughton Bluff is climbable in crappy weather too. call me

I'd like to see Tami Knight's Yak Pk ice route. hopefully becky does a good job gathering info, cuz there's lots done since (and before but not included) the last edition. of course, there's Carlos Rossi Memorial Tower!

what about smiffy this weekend?

Whirlwind is the only other cool person in this thread. PB&J are not only for lazy drunks, they're also for... ...hold on... ... .... ....actually never mind

PB&J like every friggin day a granola bar fruit leather pretty boring

they are very dangerous if crossing a steep hard slope sideways (ala backbone ridge, bear mtn, and sun ribbon arete) I've had better luck with duct taped crampons and tennis shoes (bring extra duct tape!). Aluminum strap on are the SHIT, however.

you need to adjust gradually to your orthodics! put em in your street shoes and wear em off and on for a week, then all week. then put em in your ski boots, problem solved. I swap my orthodics out with all my footwear, which sucks when I forget and go on a 3 week ice climbing trip with no insoles in my boots! good luck. p.s. also try removing any golfballs from your boots.

Maybe the smell of excrement from the sewage lagoon will mask her smell of huggies diapers and shake n' bake chicken?

Your instep is also known as your Arch. they go in the middle of your shoe and the straps wrap over your foot etc...

anyone who owned these things ever like em, or did you get unbelievably sketched after they rotated off the bottom of the shoe and buy 16oz aluminum crampons instead like me and necro did after writting a run-on sentance and misspelling many words??

Well.... ....it was awesome! Sat was beautiful. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Only a handful of climbers there and only one at the grasslands that night! Sun was in the fog and freeezin, esp on Wherever I may Roam (ice and snow..brrr). Still, wasn't cold enough to complain, or worse yet, not climb. Props to Skyclimn, who now ranks as one of my favorite climbing partners. I sent him up Moonshine dihedral, and it wasn't until after a BIG WHIPPER, that I learned it was his 1st TRAD LEAD!!!! for Winter and his secret non-cascadeclimber girlfriend for driving my ass there and back while I ate horsecock in the backseat.

do tell, I'll be in your neighborhood late march

That's what I scream when I see mamalarian protuberances, "Boobah!"

I shook it violently, but now my key5vadeoard iae akll stikcyer

Me too! It's amazing how the non-published version and the published version look like totally different books.

i'm not advocating what the dude said, it just made me want to understand more....he also said military presses were bad too. I know I'm weaker than a little girl when it comes to side raises and military presses.

You mean all the mounties died, it grew some cracks, the rock changed composition, it's no longer east facing, dusty and choked with creepers and bugs, it trippled in size, and the air force base installed quieter engines on its jets? Sweet!

Nightcrawler and Black Dagger is another good one. Also good: Ginger Cracks, Unimpeachable Groping, Power Failure! Res Arete and Levitation 29 seems somewhat longish, but I guess you could do it? I'd be too pumped to do it thats for sure. Some of those link ups seem pretty random? What was your criteria?

A shoulder surgeon I climbed with this winter told me that side raises and int/ext rotation exercises are bad for your shoulders. I didn't have time to discuss this with him, but I know side raises at least hurt my shoulders. Anyone want to support or debunk this statement?

I'd like to see the next edition have black and white outlines of the climbs and climbing photos so I can color in them when I'm bored. Also, heavy stock cardboard pages so they don't get ruined when I chew on them during the fall when I'm jonesing for ice.

OMG?!??!?! I cannot believe what I just read?!!!??!!?

Please tell Angela I said hi too!

hop on some hard 6's as long as you've got the TR! Go do some longer routes. My Fav's: Ribbon Horsetail Stairway Whorehouse Dir N.Face peak 12,??? Snowblind Gravity's Rainbow Ames Ice Hose Goldrush 2nd Gully (good solo) Mill Creek (good solo)
