Ain't Sunribbon Arete the best! What up with the sex bit?

my belay device! Jokes on you assholes!

I went to Scarpa's webpage and none of the boots I showed they make are listed. WTF? How many boots did they come out with this year? I orded the Vasque super alpinista over a year ago and finnaly cancelled my order cuz they don't exist. I think they're finally out, but I'd like to find a shop to try em on. Who has em besides mountain gear and mtn tools?

Need new ice boots. doesn't need to be too warm. roomy toebox, light, durable a must. Vasque Ice 9000: Vasque Super Alpinista: Scarpa Phamtom Light Scarpa Freny XT Scarpa Freney Pro: Scarpa Cumbre: Kayland Super Ice: Too many new boots. All I know is the La Sportiva Trango Series sucks balls. The Nepal Extreme was the only good boot I've owned, but it is a blister fest breaking it in, and too heavy, not to mention way $$

awww, but I wanna get down NOW!

What's a pirates favorite branch of the military? Who's a pirates favorite wine maker?

Carlo Rossi Wine, Wine in a Box, Cheap Wine Carlo Rossi (the Genius Behind Wine in a Box) explains his Business Secrets Idea Co-Developed by : Mike, Dr. Steve, Sean, Chav Carlos here. After the overwhelming response to my last interview on Mike’s Zine, Mike asked me if I could come back and do some writing for the magazine. When a prestigious literary source like Mike’s Zine asks you to write, how can you say no? I certainly couldn’t. Mike’s Zine sits on my coffee table right between my Hustler and The Jersey City Wine Maker in a position of honor. Not that I do not have my criticism of Mike’s editorial style. I mean, what kind of magazine is going to have you read like more than four paragraphs without showing you some naked hotties? I certainly can’t name one. And that was when I realized what Mike’s master plan is. He is trying to educate the youth of America. He is saying to the youth: reading is good, and it is good to read. Give them a little helpin’ hand so they keep on the straight and narrow. I have to respect a man of honor, and Mike is a man of honor. I need to do my own part. That is why I decided to write an article about how to be a big success in business, like me. Not everyone has been blessed the way I have been. I need to take a little time to enjoy the fruits of my success and to pass a little something onto the next generation. I am sitting here in a lawn chair at the Carlo Rossi corporate headquarters, locker 223 at the port authority bus terminal. I love it here. Bein’ a big shot CEO, you should never be too far from the customer. Every day I see folks around here enjoying the great taste of Carlo Rossi wine, whether they’re passed out next to a urinal or screaming their head off about the government controlling their brains from outer space -- I can recognize my customers anywhere. And that is the first key of business. Know your customer. Never separate yourself from the people that put money in your pocket. The second key to success is to have a great business plan. A professional wrestler would never enter the ring unless he knew how he was going to beat the shit out of the other wrestler. I mean, do you think that he just hits somebody with a chair and that’s all there is to it? Fuck No, he plans for success as you should plan for success in your business venture. That is what a business plan is. Here is my first business plan, the blueprint, if you will, to the Carlo Rossi Empire. If you are in the fine wine makin’ industry then you will find that distribution is everything. If your customer can’t find your wine then he certainly can’t get a good buzz from it. Pretty simple when you think about it. One day I was makin’ wine in a hotel room bath tub off route forty, and bam! The next year I’m the favorite beverage of every fuckwit’ and derelict from coast to coast. I love distribution and thank God that the vice president of ADME Distibution loves a chorus boy named Denny. Things just work out that way when you plan for success the way I do. Distribution is the third key to success. The fourth key to business success is promotions. You need the to create a brand name by associatin’ yourself with the right images. Carlo Rossi has created an image of success, great flavors and above all class. Nothin’ brings more class to an individual than Carlo Rossi Wine. I am not above imitation. When I first saw those Budweiser girls. I thought ,“’Holy shit! Titties and booze, now that’s two great tastes that go great together.” I tried to hire my own spokesmodels but as we both know, that shit is expensive. I mean, most spokesmodels aren’t working for a five-gallon jug of Carlo Rossi. Notice that I said most. I did happen to find a few gals that were a little more reasonable with their rates.

Looking fer partner(s) to do a one day or more climb in da mtns or on da cliff wherever the weather is bes, the beer is cold, and the chix are HOT. Boooya!

Bob I agree with you and then some! I've scoped out a lot of your lines listed. Q: The only thing is that there are a lot of CLASSIC lines already laid out for us to climb, making you list not so tempting to folks who aren't ready to do new shit, especially since the chance of succes is already low enough, why make it even lower by stepping into the unkown? A: b/c it's fucking gnar gnar bra. you MILF HUMMING CLOWN PUNCHER

you have the loosest slots in town kill your partner for being a sissy

Jordop and I went up to the Vasiliki Ridge last night and today to do a new route. I'd been up before and did Clean Break, and remembered what a shitload of rock was up there. So we headed up with no particular objective, just scope something out and climb it. The best line we saw was to the the left of Never Enough (don't bother), on the East Face below the snowpatch of a spire unnamed and unlisted in the Beckey Guide. The problem with a lot of the crack systems in the Valiski Ridge and Wine Spire/SilverStar area is that the cracks tend to end in nowhere, or start above nowhere if you know what I mean. We were very tempted by many splitters that would require bolts to get to, or bolts to finish so we didn't bother with the E.face of this mtn. We did bother with the East Ridge, however, after a night of drinking, eating spicy thai vomit, a bonfire, UFO gazing, and wildfire spotting. (I must point outt there there was hardly any snow up here, so in a heavy snow year, some cracks may be attainable). Anyway! Feeling rather shitty and lethargic from the night debauchery(sp?) we slogged to the E.Ridge and headed on up. Jordop got the 1st pitch. A super FUN 5.8 open book with cool gymnastic roof moves. A full 60m. Then I got the rope and we simuled anywhere from 4-7 pitches (I don't frigging know?) of belay killer block, awesome jams, cool chimneys, flakes, horns, dirt, and trees up to around 5.8 straight up the crest of the ridge to a very large ledge that winds all the way around to below the rest of the Valisiki spires (Vasilike tower, the Acropolis, and Charon Spire). Once again the cracks were awesome but either ended abruptly, or started way the fuck off the deck. So we walked over to the South Face and finished the route. Jordan got a sweet 10a chimney, to hands, to layback, to double crack stemming. The dude was cool and clean. Da man. My turn..... ...this is where things get hazy... All I know is that I was still screaming at my belay. Jordop can comment on this if he wants. 10d X. The rock turned to unbelievable shit, none of my cams would've held a fall (even the #4 stacked in moss/mung), and it was a leaning offwidth with one foot stemming on verticle gravel. Anyway, we all calmed down a did the final pitch to the top. The top was really quite amazing. The was a plank of rock bridging the gap of about a 1,000" drop, and a huge figging cave outta nowhere, and a tiny ass summit that we had to sling to rap off of. No trace of passage. So we think we went the best way, maybe not the last few pitches, but it would've been desperate anyway but the lame-o semi-walk up, aka, descent route (even more desperate due to the epic gravel slog). We rapped the last few pitches, then traversed sketchy sand ramps toward Burgandy Col, the back down to the base on the loosest talus this side of the Mississippi (3 shoe emptyings). Back at camp we scoped some more, and we agreed that the E.faces had pretty much been tapped out as far as asthetic free climbs are concered. Grap yer aiders and get ready to reach some awesome jam cracks if you got the time on the other faces. Also, THERE ARE A SHIT LOAD*10^10 OF NEW ROUTES, EVEN MOUNTAINS, just waiting to be climbed at the areas of WA pass (even a grade VI). Some big routes right of the fucking road! I won't give em away, but go find em! Oh, what the hell did we climb? It's the obvious buttress just right of the arrow pointing to "The Acropolis" and the left most summit of "Ares Tower" on pp290 Red Fred 2000 edition. Our tower is not on the topo map on pp.292 but would be on a perpendicular line between Ares and Acropolis, as we traversed beneath them on the descent. "Carlos Rossi Memorial Tower" Fist Ascent Jordan Peters, Mike Layton 9/13/2003. III, 5.10d X. Around 10pitches or 1000' I think. Max Blow Factor: 8.0 Avg Blow Factor: 3.0 Quality Rating: 3 shoe emptyings outta 4 Long live Carlos Rossi, damnit.

lemme know if you have any questions regarding two broken feet, recovery time, etc...

You should change your name to Billy Beer. mmmmm, billy beer.

So this is what boulderers talk about. This is the new rock climbing forum, lets not ruin it so quickly. BTW, anyone seen a magazine I think called Bouldering? Has a whole article on bouldering in patagonia.

MisterE=M*gay^2

What do you guys need in a climbing partner and likewise, hate? Need: 1.sense of humor (esp when things totally are shitty) 2.ability to yell at me if i'm being unsafe or slow or stupid 3.ability to be yelled at for above (rules out any of my girlfriends) 4.commitment to the route 5.honesty about ability to climb chosen route or follow every pitch like a little be-otch. 6.have some sort of chemical dependancy or emotional problem so i don't hate their perfect little selves. 7.solid belayer 8.simiar speed as me Hate 1.fucking around at the belay 2.temer tantrums 3.nay sayers 4.necronomicon

The problem with a famesheat pack for me is they don't climb well. Every pack hurts like hell (esp my hips and lower back) so I figure get a light one that hurts vs. a heavy one that hurts. BD ice pack is a good choice cuz you can remove the framsheet. I replaced my worn out ice sack with it and am happy so far. If you must have a more rigid from, the serratus packs are the shit. I got one for my girlfriend and have borrowed it several times when the hike is more demanding than the climb.

Do the East ridge and then descend the west ridge. That way you get both. The north ridge is fun too. i've done it late season, wasn't bad a'tall. the ice apron should be nice n' hard. Anyone done the South face? Tried to get necro in to do it, but he must'a eaten too many Luna Bars cuz his pussy hurt and didn't wanna go.

two timer

Did Colin need to fill out a permission slip for the trip?
