I fucked up when ordering it, though it was the one with the ice pick. I got a child's ice tool w/a hammer instead. Works great!

Are you serious? I don't have that good of an aim! Jeeeshh

Black diamond aiders. They're just fine condition-wise. Two are almost new, one's been used on a couple routes, but like new as well. Worth the price.

I don't remember the size. I'm 5'8" and am ok in it. It's in fine shape too.

Jens and CascadeClimber, I'm using 2 of your lovely photos in my slideshow. Hope that's cool.

Don't mess with Necro, he's really screwed up. He forces me to do horrible things in the mountains! If Colin wants to climb hard, he should first have to suffer an alpine climb with Necro first. Then he will be ripe for his initiation!

I dunno about the post show brawl. After doing all your mothers, I doubt any of you pussies have the balls! p.s. I not only invented lightweight alpine climbing, I invented climbing, I am the "correct" style. Watch me strut like a peacock on stage. p.p.s. A sack of cams works much nicer than a sack of doorknobs or a soap in a sock!

I've been debating if I should post this here, but what the hell I spent a lot of time on it. Just worried about ya'll coming and hecklin' me... I'm giving a slideshow Wed, May 29 at 7pm in the Viking Union Room 552 at WWU in Bellingham. It's on rock and ice climbing in WA,Canada,AK,Colorado, and the SW. A little less than an hour. It's all set to music, so they spray time will be minimized. Please leave all rotten vegetables at home.

Well I'm slowly recovering from my ITB. Turns out my hips are outta alignment since my quads and hams are playing tug of war on my hips and lower back. ITB synd was just a side effect (although a painful one). It still hurts, but chiropractic active stretching, ICE, and a good massage therapist (AGENT ORANGE) are getting me back in shape. It's interesting having A.O. as your massage therapist and Necro as your partner (see Stuart 'Bilers link).

quote: Geez...you're a bigger man than I to do something like that...or more gullible No, I'm just stupid. In fact, since I had to hike back up I figgured why bring a tent or bag or stove since we're just gonna wake up when I get there and summit? Well we didn't and I froze my ass off. On that same note, I'd highly reccomend the sulfide as a Car to Car route (along with every other route). Big packs = slow and warm. Small packs = fast and stupid. And like I said, I'm stupid.

Dude, I thought I felt your presence through the other side of the mountain! Could you feel me? is it me or is shuksan the hardest "easiest" mountain there is? I've got a friend (you know who you are) who is a great climber and hasn't summited after SEVEN attempts! Fuck that. I think I'll stay away from the Price this year, although I'ts become quite the yearly tradition.

Took a guided party of 10 up to the sulfide this weekend. Had to hike someone out, drive them home, and hike back in to the camp at the col. It was very warm and the snow (lots) never froze so the other guide and I called it. We went up to near 6500 sunday to practice glacier travel, and the snow was still sloppy. The summit looks snowy. Basically there's a ton of snow and it's soft, although I can't say if I gets harder up higher although I doubt it. If your gonna do it soon, bring snowshoes or skiis and climb at night. The trailhead is 1 mile from where you park. Hope it gets cold for whatever you want to do (or really hot).

What were the temps when you did it?

Too warm. Wait for a couple cold nights, and not too hot during the day. It looks good otherwise.

Jens and Cascadeclimber (whoever you are), you're the two guys topping out on Synchronicity this Feb. I met you at the belay after I led the last pilar pitch. Small world in the retared "sport" that we do. Maybe we'll be cursin' each other on another route someday in our selfishness to be the only ones on a route? The pitch isn't a full 60m. 40 meters maybe? I made it to that litte tail of rock coming down about 1/8 of an inch above the ice in your photo. I think in your photo I'm above the cornices trying not to puke. I just reread my original post. Man I must've been drunk to write that.

Cool. I bet the descent was nice with snow on it? Congrats.

You should've trundled some boulders onto them. What route did ya do and how was it?
