  1. pope i offer those facts to show you that these are not your gym bread climbers. there are climbers who have and will continue to push their abilites to the cutting edge of the sport. wheter it be in the mtns or cragging.

     

    yup i do know them and a few of them do maintain their ability at that grade. and just for fun pope, i actaully watched my best friend onsite 2 .13 gear routes last fall and tick one with one hang(granted he is not the one establishing these mixed climbs) but i had to toss that out. apprently all you do is reading the climbing mags for your news as there are quite a few people who can do that. and i know quite a few of them(10?) so............................

     

    iclimbed your bolted crack this year with several cc.commers....on beckfest weekend. so i have climbed your hypocrisy.

     

    and no i am not a pervert like you. i would not use dubious means in an attempt to view a woman in a vulnrable position. why do you attempt to always steer the discussion away from reality?

     

    again pope, you dont have anything to offer on any level, so why attempt to pretend that you do.

     

    have a good one! offter to climb some cali granite!

    i've talked to quite a few people here who ski the freeride with an alpine/downhill boot - both inbounds and for backcountry touring. they like the control better going down the hill and say it's not too much of a "pain" for touring unless there's a lot of flat traversing.

     

    soooo....

     

    you have not experienced it yourself? typical! hahaha.gif

  3. hey pope

     

    just to note these sport climbers who are bolting the mtns for safety are some of the best climbers in the state period. way better then you could ever dream of being. these bolters have established impressive alpine routes ground up on several continents. have climbed many a5 routes, .12 & .13 gear and sport routes, been successful in patagonia. what is your contribution to climbing? a bolted crack at lworth and some squeeze job contrivence face route? whoopy!

     

    you really sould leave dwayner's ass sometime and see what the rest of the world has been up to since 1985.

    i got a closet ice fetish, but i certainly do not allow it to get the better of me. rock climbing has soo much more to offer. not that often you see a hottie in a sport top ice climbing... 'nuff' said right there...

     

    and dont worry i am sure once the rock is free from its icy bondage your friend will return to the rightous rock!

  5. yeah i didnt see ole cracked either...but then again i wasnt lookin...

     

    and no the caddy was not cracked's...that i believe was ole ciley and ben.

     

    i love being fat and ugly. and lets toss in weak as well!!! for a well rounded american!

  6. the only thing an alpine did for me was give me more power to push the skis.( i am sure this is incorrect terminology, but who gives a fuck!)

     

    the binding and the ski still react the same. i dont think the increase boot performance is going to make skiing much easier.

     

     

  7. its a slab with ledges of course snow is going to accumulate. werd on the street (actually my friend in lworth) said they got about 4" in town yesterday and the day b4.

     

    so climbing scw is going to involve a bit of sports action to get to the top. and i do know people who have climbed it in the winter all mixed like.

     

     

  8. IVE CLIMBED THERE...

     

    steep and hard bolted climbing. i think the warm up is .10d or .11d with the rest of routes going up from there...

     

    there is an area a bit north of there called the grotto, it is basalt cloumn climbing.

     

    there is a new guide book for the area called sonora pass climbing or something like that.. prolly cannot find it up here..

     

    the crag would be pretty good in winter as it has a nice west/southwest aspect. i do not think there are any access concerns from what i remember...cool area to hike in..and watch out for poison oak and shit.

     

    sonora pass area would not be a good winter desitination for the higher crags, as the pass is actually closed in winter..but it is an expansive area with limestone, balsalt and granite to climb on.

     

    i am gonna be climbing down there later this week.

    Can you inform me on the spin?

     

    i wouldnt call it spin, but as expected(and i am sure anyone who was in their position would do) they are attempting to promote the option that gives them the most power. which i believe in most peoples mind is bullshit. so maybe spin could be interpeted as "promoting the idea that best supports their ideals, and prolly not that of the other potential conscenonaires.

     

    i like how the rmi(??) is stating that removal of guides will limit the chances of people visiting "their" public land. i understand that there is a small contingent of climbers who would never be able to visit the summit without being taught some of the basic ideas with glacial mtneering but i do not see it as taking the chance for all peoples ability to visit the mtn. this is the same idea the feedemp opponents use. removal of the ability for all to see the mtn or wilderness. heh, i like how it works both ways.

     

    anyways, i would like to see the complete removal of all guide services on all public lands. but since that will never happen, there needs to be a fair distribution of resources between the guide svcs. with no favoritism in any way. and ALL guides should be AMGA or equivilent(which i believe the AMGA has the easiest standards required?? i am not sure so correct me if you can) to guide on public land. maybe then it could become a legit business in the eyes of the rest of the country.
