I like to climb the 5.5 or 5.6 on the other side of Jello Tower and toprope Damnation. A 60 m rope allows the belayer to stand on the ground (as opposed to a top belay), a much better vantage point from which to watch your partner climb. It's a great route! Beware the start of Canary on Castle Rock. I recall being off the ground quite aways before I could put in my first piece of pro. Poor landing. Just a couple of factors to keep in mind. why would you need to protect easy chimmney?? is not your body on that the belay?? last time i cranked that thing i cliped a fixed pin or two. side note(note: cheast beat) i hung out and drnk with TM Herbert this past weekend, he still cranks like a madman!! and parties hard too!! For those of you outta the loop, he is the fa'ist on damnation crack. also a thing to note TM was much more impressed with Tacoma then he was Seattle.

even more so the rei website lists the tiros as a winter/mountainerring.backpakcing tent. http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=9307089&parent_category_rn=4500458

hahahaha i just looked on the rei website and the bibler i-tent is listed as a backpacking/hiking tent. http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?storeId=8000&seq=61&query=*&cat=4500029 no wonder bone epiced!!!

tom, by pass rei and go to the manufacture. also when you do report rei to the manufacture of their porr service and ill knowledge of the products they are selling. dealer knowledge is extremly important to manufactures. how are they able to sell the 'right' equipment to people is they are unfamiliar with the product. also if you can note the rei employee name and or number for reference. also write a scathing but professional letter to rei home office. being a co-op owned by the people for whom it is setup for you would think that they might repect said owners. but then again when profit margins and not customer service is the goal....the co-op owner/patron should be righted.

mountain man, your repeated attempts to bring others to your residence, so you may enter into a physical altercation is dumb.

sad incident. dave that is the beauty of trade publications. i read the automotive ones and the insurance ones and ytou should read all the bullshit that each one thinks it knows about the other...always good light for itself. sad incident. [ 08-07-2002, 11:46 AM: Message edited by: erik ]

winter, just picked up a pair of the 5.10 ascents. i fit them to wear with lit sox, as to fit the long alpine route bill. before that i was using 5.10 mocasyms, only problem i had with those guys is that they wore out in like 3 months or something..... the one thing i found pretty attractive about both of these shoes is that you can take them off easily. i know i like to remove my shoes after hard leads or resting at belays while my pattnrs take the next lead or block. the mocasyms pack well and are lite. i tried on about 20 pairs of shoe, before i picked up the ascent. i wanted to buy them a while ago but balked. now that i have them i like them. i also wore mythos for many many long routes and liked them as well.

moutainman, much like yourself i suspect, i am trapped in an office with a view of the olympics. i enjoy my free time in many ways. so i will gleen my work hours entertainment from the people i deal with and the likes of you! i love when y'all read more into a post then what is there. i said i am laughing at the idea that others think that others may be concered with their abilites. no where did i point out a person or a single action. *yawn* have fun!

you know until just recently a majority of the cultures throughout the world ate dogs and many i assume still do. i heard that they are starting to eat dogs again in mainstream korea. seems silly that people put so much value in the copainionship of an animal. what ever happend to human interaction?? that is where i get my thoughtful and healthy interaction with others. they seem to give me more in the way of 'intelligent'(open for interpetation) interactions. dogs are fun to pet, dogs are good to eat, i don't own any and am waiting till i have kids...poo is gross....

pete in no way am i chuckling at the accomplishment or the people, i am laugh ing at the fact tha compensation(ie: mt wanker is bigger then yours) is now becoming more and more prevelant in todays climbing society. before it seemed like informal one ups manship between friends. But with a site dedicated to it and books being written about it, it seems like it will be another measuring stick for some people to live up too. i guess we all have dreams. mine is not to proave anything to anyone, but to enjoy myself. wheter i try to go really rea;;y fast(which i like to do) or just chill and abosrb as much of the atomosphere as i can. regardless it matters none to others, and i think it comes down to the question. "did anyone ask? or are you just telling?" i know of some people like this and i can say with a good consenous that 'we' find it dumb. enjoy, cause i know i am!!

can i be the first to say woopty fawkin doo!!! i am glad people are concered with how fast and who can beat who at the game. it gives me and my friend something to laugh about..... have fun!!

ummm, then why are you complaining then?? if you knew it was easy then and used some sort of logic about brush though old clear cuts, i cannot see how you are even allowed to complain. also thats part of climbing deal with it. if you do not like th brush, the cross country hiking in the sierra is quite pleasent.

dan, i think the crying about the approach could possibly be a result of tyhis being the only bushwacking that some of the people have ever done. but then again maybe not!! i am with you we found the approach not to be too bad. granted we did it in june, so i guess we got it easy. as far as route quality goes. fun route though slightly boring. i have not done the fischer chimmneys, but all the hype has got me. if i figure right, it does sound like the cherry route, unless i get the cajones for the price. then again maybe i will save that one for when i am older and need the excitement.

yes

then lets talk about something awesome...anyone seen the new aaj????? i haven't seen mine yet! if you wanna read about climbing read those...granted it is slowly becoming tainted like the rags, but it still has good writings.... media's job is report sensationalism, look at the recent claim of 3 'experienced' climbers trapped on glacier peak...who knew how experieced they were, esepecially a 1 man and two woman scenario.....i can imagine most men would claim 'experience' with two woman...but who really knows.... and you two can chill out...i am the coolest cat around! to me [ 08-05-2002, 01:00 PM: Message edited by: erik ]

bone and ig, how about this....who cares how someone else did it?? it bothers you that someone has freed the pitch on preplaced gear?? shit i doubt i could even come close to toprope aiding some of those pitches let alone free climb them..... i say the only time someones style should come into question is when they blatently damage the stone. i hope huber bro's pink point the shit outta el cap, awesome feats, but i am still a 4th class struggler..... worry about something else...like when the next time YOU are going to push YOURSELF on the big stone.... the rags are just that, wipe your ass with them...............

cb, i do not troll. i read your post and still wonder why the high price?? but dont worry i dont really care, thanks though! seriously! one thing that came to mind, was the fact that you are putting a commerical advertisement. thought you were not supposed to do that?? then again like i said above, "i don't really care!" take it easy!
