and since the weather is soooooo nice...i think wallstein and myself are going to make the 20 minute drive to index.... oh bummer!!!! work on happy poeple!!!

" i've never met someone who can drink soo much and drive soo well! "

they are all naysers...RUmr.......though we all know the climbing is good everywhere at just the right time.... i think i am headed to smith in a few weeks too!!!!

iamajacktors is some fucking nutty guy....who has it figgered out..

i am glad the weather here sucks.....(in your opinion!!!!) rock climbing is only about 475984326257264375623475639482578349257893427589 times more fun then skiing tries to be.... granted skiing is fun, but it does get old fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! either way have fun!

call the police find photographs of her with the gear for id purposes occasionaly peruse pawn shops leave a note down at some climbing gyms looking for the exact gear, do not say it was stolen. maybe the person will see it and call in an attempt to sell it walk around her neighborhood and look in the trash and bushes, climbing gear really has little resale value and must theives do not know what it is. everyone should mark their gear with PAINT or FINGER NAIL polish...that tape shit....it dumb and easily removed. i paint the lettering on my gear....... bummer

canada was a great time......the rockies are quite fun!

how so with cam faliure?? i do not think i have ever read of or heard of an accident involving where the cam itself breaks or fails?? certainly user error(which includes them pulling out(which i heard is most likely a result of a acam with poor action aka dirty)) please enlighten me. falling on cams aint bad at all....no worse then falling on a bolt... and remember belay a trad leader loose....we need the extra spring in the setup to absorb the energy...

all gear is the same...if it were damaged and they knew about it, then they assume some liability..... i consider all gear suspect and i only rely on me and my partners as the ultimate safety tool....gear is only as good as the user..... so to say that if you bought a used cam, you would not fall on it?? or you would not self arrest with a used ice axe?? i dont get it??? all gear is the same.... either way.........

this place is still in business?? hmmmmm...... i betcha can get away using the longer axe........i mean ice axes are only used for low angle boreing climbing anyways....not like 5cm here or 5 cm there will cause death or an accident...... the liabilty arguement is bunk...they as retailers would assume little to no responsibility for the equipment....(think about it...dont y'all rave about 2nd ascent all the time?? oh my gosh they sell used gear!!!!!)...they just dont want the stock issues prolly.....

dont forget thin fingers, them, breakfast, gorilla my dreams, iron horse, sagascarious, first part of shirley, davis holland dries quick, 1st part of j-gardensm, about 10 routes at the country. and teh bolderrs

very doable......

STILL WAITING......

i thought locl meant someone who has been there atleast 10,000 this year and atleast 5 out of the last 7 days........ sure has been lonlely hangin with you locals latlely.....

amatuer night if you ask me

i base...therefore i am... no raps....just pure sickness

lotsa new snow across the board.... bring kitty litter and two snow shovels...a peice of carpet and make sure the old lady likes to push the car..... oh yeah and your chains

the best climbing gear... a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon

YES PEOLPE WE MUST NOT FORGET OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS TO THE NORTH......TODAY IS THE COMMONWEALTH'S GRANDEST DAY!!! BOXING DAY!! SO IF YOU SEE ONE OF OUR BELOVED CANADAIN FRIENDS TO DO GIVE THEM A HUG AND WISH THEM A HAPPY BOXING DAY! I AM GOING CLIMBING!

kurt....seein your smiley sig.....where is fendel??? hmmmmm?????

i think it has to do with the camo effect that the blue handle presents.... you walk up to someone whom is just chillen and you pull out your bottle opener(aka the blue handled approach knife)...and wham hit them up for their wallet... so it allows you to appproach your victim with ease.....(atleast in tacoma...!!!)

goddesss... alpinek i think is maybe a good skier....especially after like 50 some odd years doing it!!!!

i am going to move from here soon, if i cannot find someone to drive to index with me all the time..... who wants to go to index??

dave, have the blizard harness and the only thing that i do not like about it is the rise in the harness...(aka the belay loop length) makes it tighter around the boys a bit....but only really noticable after long periods of hanging......you prolly wont have this problem as your frame is smaller then mine..... arcteryx vapor harness is identical....but without the little spaces behind the webbing on the waist belt...... good harness..... petzl harnesses suck imho......they tend to wear very quickly (the foam comes apart from the backing) and the plastic gear loops suck for wearing a pack.....also the leg adjuster holder dealy bob in the back breaks off and then you have that saggin harness feeling.....

doug chalardies glass mooseeum is great......a recommend some visual enhancements........though watching them make potential pipes is way cool!
