buy the MEC Feretta pants. They are about the same price, cut much much better, have better pocket placemwnt, and are made of Dryskin Extreme which is much more durable. They rule

Make a model out of cardboard to figure it out, then draw your cuts on the pots (and hole points) and take it to the hardware store to have them cut and swage. Look at a photo of one. The hard part of the pocket rocket is the wings colapse inwards, so figure out how to stabilie them (like making the slits exactly the legnth of the winds and maybe a small bracket under or ove the wings.

Wonder if I've seen DFA at the gym?

There's a selection of CAJ's in the Western WA Univ library with a review of mixed routes at Blackcomb. I think the article is entitled tounge in cheek, "Chamoniox of N.America" or something similair. Look good. How come I've never heard of this man made ice park???

Hey folks I haven't heard from (esp Todd). Yeah Kelly and Decapio won't shut up about the Vasques, and I tend to believe them. Lots of gizmo boots. The other contender is the Kayland ice boot. I have wide feet and both Vasque and Kayland fit wide it seems. I wish I was in Vancouver so I could try the Kayland on. Someone sponser my ass.

Thanks!

don't climb it

I can fill a space, but I'm in PDX. I get off school at noon friday, and need to be back sunday mid-evening. lemme know if that fits your schedule.

yeah, maybe not a fx but a bruising of some of your extensor lig. possibly a tear near the insertion. try med. or lat. rotating your leg (sit on a chair and swing your foot to the left and right keeping your thigh still). Just a slightly educated guess.

1st sign your life is too complicated. Last week = 2 keys. one for ignition, one for canopy Today = 8 keys! What the fuck?

yeah, squamish buttress kinda sux cep for the last pitch. Rock On to UE is good. I did that link-up, Diedre, and Banana peel, plus Khlanie and Cardhu crack, and finally the 1st pitch of local boys do good one day last summer for a squamish pitch legnth, el-cap day. (insert chest beating) I scoped the dream on -anxiety state link up, but the direct unfinished symphony seemed much better. what else...the great game-godforsaken (and visa versa)looks dumb. I'd much rather rap the last pitch of godforsaken after doing great game and lead out again. BTW, I'm going off page 39 in the guidebook. Smoke bluffs connection is a fun 3 pitches-wonderland or white rabbit finish (4 guidebook pitches) Anyone done the Avalon Connection or link ups at CragX(up from despair-friction addiction-bucky ki yeah, or center street-easy does it) Sunshine Chimney-slot machine or cream of white mice is fun. others??? Anyone ever climbed the entire Grand Wall-roman chimney, Norther Lights, Freeway trifecta? That would be amazing. I made this up but it sounds cool. a good harder moderate trifecta would be a combo of 3: Rock On/Squamish Butt (counts as one); Angel's Crest;Grand Wall(with Apronstring,cruel shoes,or the flake start);Millenium Falcon;Ultimate Everything(with rock on or similairly challenging approach climb).

I'm coming . Anyone need a ride, got a ride, or need a partner? I'd like to also check out the trad routes to compliment the clippin' . Are there gonna be enough places to camp at Skull Hollow ? I can leave Friday later in the afternoon. I live in NE right off 84 or 205 in -boring yard land . I also got a coleman gas grill/one burner. I'll bring some gear for sale too. bring your checkbooks. BTW, the avatar thing... ...it's only cool online. Had a few lame-o moment running into cc.com'ers introducing themselves while climbing with non-cc.com'er friends. You need to sacrifice some hit points for some more charisma points if you're gonna pull that shit.

where's this exactly?

excellent

sounds fun. another good one is St.Vitus direct to desert dyke(yellow alien) to memorial crack to squamish buttress -13 guidebook pitches.

thanks for the invite a-holes. I'm gonna spill the beans on your projects if this happens again. p.s. just kidding. Good job guys! Fucking finally j-dawg

not paying attention doesn't count as a new variation

anyone else got any useful climbing, or living in PDX beta? Come on!

I must'a been daydreaming while doing that pitch, cuz I certainly don't remember this flake that folks are talking about. I wasn't off route either.

Where did we meet in Toulomne? I know we met at the base o' colonial.

Canadian: "we climbed it in challenging conditions, lots of ice all around" Translation: "It sucked and was shitty with half-assed smears everywhere but I sound cool and tough and mysterious saying it like this cuz nothings in that you'd drive all the way to Banff to do unless your local and are bored as shit like me"

search under visiliky (sp?) ridge. or better yet, the name of the route listed in the beckey guide , "never enough". so far as I know, not many folks do it (for pretty good reason...better route next door). If you go up to do it, keep your options open for something else cuz it's not that inspiring although I'm sure the FA team had fun

I posted something in climbing partners too. Just moved here and I don't know squat. What's good and where is it: rock, ice, hiking, biking, running, bars, gear shops, rock gyms, fitness gyms, good chow, etc... I live in the NE part of town near the meth labs and the chiropractic college that I now attend. Need partners too! Any info is much appreciated!!!!
