AS FAR AS THE GLUING GOES, I HAVE READ AND HEARD THAT THE MATERIAL THAT the adhesive bonds will fail before the actual bonding.... this is the same technology used in aircract and many many many composite setups.....carbon fiber bikes are an excellent example of that.....and those things take some major abuse..... and i believe that the head on the raven is glued, but i dunno i have that p.o.s. that will kill me... and like dps said goretex in boots is an absolute joke..... thankz again scotteryx to alert me to another hazard in the mountains.....scottertyx are oyu part of the green party?? you and ralph sure can find the evil in the world......... current sketchiness update: mealpinekgrivel air tech racing [ 04-10-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

climbing courtesy only extends so far.....when it comes to long routes, the safest thing to do is get it done as fast as possible. having beginners or slower parties holding you back is a wrong on their part. i say wait till there as a safe situation possible and pass them, wait till they get to europe or most other lcimbing places in the world....

is it not true that 99% of all species that have inhabited the earth are now extinct?? i dunno?? and is not also selfish of humankind to think that it is our job to decied how, when, why and where all current species are controlled.... is it possible that the passing of one specie could possible open the door way for a new one?? and what about diseases and other viruses?? i think according to modern science we all started out as some pile of goo somewhere too...and now we are erradicating the possible future inhabitants of the planet, in a selfish mission to presevere ourselves..... i really think christain tainted science is very subjective and is used mostly now to sell certain ideas, laws and busniess practices..... just some more thoughts!??

I GUESS i should mention alllll the ticks...i mean i think the tick mother ship crashed up thar in those hills and waves of them just walk down the hill to suck the blood...the blood...the blood.... o the horror...... think ticks think ticks think ticks!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody know why we have to cook in the p-lot, seems like fire danger is pretty low right now. SAME PLACE IS SKULL HOLLOW AND THE GRASSLANDS..... FIGURE IF THEY JUST MAKE A SWEEPING NO COOKING ZONE, THEN THE ISSUE OF ENFORCEMENT DROPS TO MINIMAL......DEAL WITH IT.... THEN AGAIN I THINK THE LAST TWO MAJOR FIRES WERE SET BY THE man HIMSELF......... just like the only people who ever mess with raptors are the biologists.....but us climbers get blamed for messing with them>>??!! i dont get that....then again those biologists are specially trained to mess with animals and distrub they're habitat........for the sake of sch-ence.......

actually stefan it does not affect the access to garfield...... as for chimmeny it does, but that is a brutal approach anyways...much nicer to come in from the rachel lks area........ and dont frogot big snow and all the stuff in many wayz this is bad, buti think in the end it is the a good decision and i am notifying the tool that i agree... we should be less selfish about the mountains and let them be or atleast give them a chance to relax a bit too..... and just think now to bring your drill up there to rap bolt those alpine faces will be soo much more difficult...

let me rephrase my original comment.... would the route not be more desireable if it were to have less snow or maybe even more consolidated or even better something with lotsa ice??? i personally believe so, as that to me is the desireable portion or conditions of the climb that i seek for.... good work guys on the early ascents.......

Maybe if you got into the peak and climbed both or one route I would not give you so much shit but you didn't even walk in. [ 04-09-2002: Message edited by: rayborbon ] i know i was in smith working on my tan......

NOT TO take away from anyone, but dont you all think it is still early to be climbing an ice route when it is all snow?????? or mostly snow??? semi steep snow is much easier to climb then ice..... sounds like colin and wayne found the goods out on the n face....... just a thought feel free to hate on me when ready.....

If you look at the new Squamish guide there is a an old picture I think from the 20s of the Chief. The lack of trees and plants on the cliff compared to the present is remarkable. PP YO PETE DONT ferget that index was being quarried for a bit of time...so when da man be choppin da granite da trees got chopped too....alot of the granite there (lower wall) has only be exposed for a couple decades.... maybe a good comparision would be upper town wall (natural??) to the lower town wall(quarried)..... what do you guys think....

http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000055he already done that one this winter...... think bigger and sicker and longer and harder....

i wondered the same thing....but after it got to the point of repsoling them, the shoe was soo broken down that it was going to be a waste of oney.... i say get new ones [ 04-09-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

and chucK, special does need those things....weak as he is any excuse to not go climbing works for him....... and special i gave your rasta knot cap to a young street punk named moonflower paste...........

aww theres no harsh feelings... i just think it is funny to see you guys get your panties in a bunch whenever something bad about bhamer is rumored.... i have had friends attend the educational establishment and have spent plenty of time there.......it is not paradise and cannot even come close to qualifing.....then again any place where you have to have a job is not paradise.... but it is just like every other college town....idealistic and that gets old after about 35 seconds(unless she is really cute)...granted there are good people there, but the hype is just that......and i would never desire to live there.....couldnt even pay me....... say what you want asbout tacoma...i love it here...it provides me with what i need and want..... enjoy

if this is the trip i got shown a couple weeks ago, through my beer clouded mind it is a sweet but difficult undertaking..... i would go, but i've got some sandstone in my future.......... and i would climb or ski with kurt before i would with a whole posse of bhamers or mtn guides or mounties..........
