practice footwork....dragging your toe is prolly the fastest way to wear out shoes.... also practice footwork..... did i mention that footwork is key to making your shoes last and making that next move that seems undoable?? also practice footwork... shoes inevetiably wear out.... you will be able to tell when it is time to resole! have fun

ummm mtn man, trask is cool and all(definition subjective like climbing grades) but i am my own obnoxious person. --------------- touch the pet!

michelle, i am going to disagree with you on the fee demo. they maybe vocal, but between them and the access fund i have seen and heard little about any progress. i still larry being the real cool guy he is. i still see that the fee demo day pass has increased and i have read that permenant legistation is on the horizon. i understand that it comes down to money, but if you read names of the aac and other similar organizations i see alot of money. if i personally was not poor and destittue i would buy a.r.c. fire all their workers and then close business in the name of free wilderness. the biggest disheartning thing i have found with the aac like most 'old skool' clubs is the good ole boy system. fair enough, as i gave up long ago thinking that it was something for all climbers. werd

greg, they offer rescue insurance for starters. i believe it covers things as helocopters. also included are the american alpine journal and accidents in mtneering annuals. both good reads!! your money also goes to help support lobbysists to some extent. the access fund used to be part of the aac, but broke away to become their own organization.(lobbyist example) i did not renew my membership a few years ago, due to the fact that i was unhappy with the casecade section of the club. it seemed really dead, and i still think it is for the most part. i have noticed that recently there is a new breath within in the section, but anymore that is not the reason i stay a member. there are also other bene's but these 3 seem to be the most prevelant for most climbers.

forrest you always bring a tear to my eye when i read your fine reports... cheers on another excellent route..

jonathan.... there is nothing really to clog....the thing with liques fule is that you must turn it into vapro to burn..that is why you have to prime them.....gas you do not....so unless you spill couscous in it i see little to no cloging issues.... i think the canitster will be empty before the rubber seal on the canister will fail. granted there occasionally be manufacture mistakes plus it is easier to huff the butane/propane mixture for all you drug addeled adolescents...

beer chugging!!! this is free word association right?

case of pabst blue ribbon specialed and erik......13 minutes friday and a couple weeks ago

sketch, have done this one a couple times....awesome route with decent rock.... the difficulties are not sustained....you can jam the crux ow very easily........the last .9 moves on the 5th(?) pitch does not exist..... the pitches are very short, i think maybe 100ft..i think last time we were up there we polished off that one and w face in like 4 or 5 hours total.... i would not bring more then a set of camalots to #4. have fun and be safe.

actullay greg, omegaman was once a prisoner at the spokane prison making biners and what not...though he came into good light with the warden and the ceo of op. i guess they all dated for awhile(speculative rumor) he is now out living his dreams spending the cold hard cash that omega steals from the prisoners from their slave labor....apprently he has quite an expense account as op steal so much money from the slaves, let along their souls and hearts, so the profit margin is through the roof....bah the chinese we have you beat in spokane!! i bet he wears fur and eats processed meat too!!!!

thanks for the back up dawg.....but i think i can handle it....cept for the spelling....i prolly need help with that!

another question along drul's line of questioning...why does he have a rack on his harness??? is he top roping practicing placing gear on an unprotectable slab???

i did the dishes this morning before work this morning... please note do not have specialed, grizzly, rasta and homegurl over for midnight bbq and expect them in their drunkend stupor to clean your house before they pass out....reason being is tha if you leave the mess till monday mornging your house is going to smell like the funk!!! blah!

That's too bad. Oh well. Oh, and for your information Roger, while there may be the occasional climber on nwhikers.net, it's a HIKING site, not a rock climbing site. i would like to say that it takes all kinds. so why dont you find someone else to take you....hopefully not a drug addled adollescent with a death wish...i hear mike layton is pretty 'NORMAL'....... instead of attempting to find only the negatives in everything, you should search out the postives. people with condoning attitudes to do not get fat outside of normal society. that i because not one person is the same as the next. there are certainly like minded individuals that i am sure you can find if you search. but not seeing them here does not justify you traching what you don't like. tolerance is key...go buy some!!!
