word up 'w' we dont like that front range tude' around here boy!!! ie: climbing mag reviews: i wouldn't wipe my ass with them cause they already reak of shit....much like a front range attitude...isnt climbing rag located in the front range??? same with the other rag?? arent you located in the front range??? hmm.............. like i said lets us try them out and we will give a some opinions on what regular climbers think of them.....i dont climb a5 or .12 trad but i get out there play all the time....... have fun and be safeerik and why cannot we email or pm you???

so i don't know about anyone else...but weekend was great!!!! even though we went to dis-vantage.....we all had a blast.......it snowed it rained, it was 70.....we had it all and no one was really around...i had the great pleasure of finally meeting dan smith....and climbing some stuff i had to yet to do!! plus my shoulder didnt hurt most of the time too!!!!!

there is a couplw of cracks there and some real nice looking adbventure on the main wall behind the crag.......route recommondation: go to index.........

durability issue is nil with the wiregate.....they can and will and do stand up to the abuse of walls, expeditions, cragging and alpine climbing..... wallstein's enitre aid rack is made up of neutrinos and spirits....mostly neutrinos and hoeboys gets it done......my enitre rack will be neutrinos by the end of summer....... and as far as the unclipping goes.....i think i would look other places then thinking it is the biner that is at fault on this one....more then likely there are several contributing factors..... after hundreds and hundres of routes and pitches i have yet to see or hear of that happening...operator error maybe??? hard to say..... if you guys who don't like the neutrinos i'll take them and since they are junk i'll give you market value for junk.....nada!!

i have almost all neutrinos and think they rock....yes i did find that they are kinda small with gloved hands..but for times when i am climbing with gloves on...i have lots of hotwires...plus i use really lite and thin gloves too... they certainly have their issues, but i think the benefits outweigh the negatives...... plus who cares about ice and stuff....we want the rock!!!!! with a little bit of ice...we want the rock!!!!

i applaud the decision to make teddy a cascade legend!!! i believe that teddy (not sure on teddy's or beck's gender anymore!!) qualifies to be one according to rodchester's "how to be a cascad legend in 12 mildy easy steps" program...what do you think rod???? though beck last i heard off of teddyruxpinnude.gov was that he was suiting up (better yet defurring) for this season's makah whale hunt.....always one for the animals that teddy is... go teddy!!!!

i don't know what weather sites and links you all use, but i think the wsdot's is the best local one.... enjoy http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/current/mainbas.htm jon & timm@Y i think it would be cool if we could get this up on the site or some other weather links.... you guys ever wonder why weather can be spelt three ways...: weather & wether & whether......the weather determines whether or not you go climbing.... thanks alex!!

with a couple freeones i am sure that i can get a better idea about these little guys...... [ 03-14-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

canadian alpine journal or bivouac.com will have info that you desire....also i think it was 97 or 98 that there was an article about in the aaj.....though i know that there a couple articles about it, but i can never remeber where i read them.....

this message is to all of oyu out there who have displayed anger or just been pissed while on the road...car, truck bike, horse...etc.... so what does your anger get you?? do you feel good after you have thrown a fit?? did your attitude or anger help make the situation better?? where you able to convey your message to the point of understanding as you screamed obscenitites?? did being soo pissed answer anything fo you?? make you safer?? i think the answer to above questions is no on all of them..... granted there are many many many many horrible drivers out there and you, me and every other person who owns or operates a car is one of them too.......we all have momentary lapses in thinking or attention.....granted when you are on the recieving end of it, it always seems so much worse....but we are all guilty.... so next time you are cut off, someone inadvertantly swerves into your lane...or people just suck...just ask yourself do i want to feel like shit and have this person whom i don't know, whom i will probably ever come into contact with again be able to control my emotions and reactions?? i think not....be the bigger person and look beyond evil and just carry on with life.... before you attack me on this....remember that i am an insurance adjuster and work with familes whom have had loved ones killed..i investigate accidents where people have been dismembered...i look at vehicles where violence has damaged the vehicle.....i know what can happen when driving goes wrong....worked claims where pedestrians and bicyclists are killed or injured....it all sucks big time......but still regardless if you are not injured be the better person...

MIKE, it may not appear this way all the time, but i do like to make informed comments and stuff.... that was my intent on looking at the contracts....to see what kind of setup/relationship the park has with its consessionaires.....if we knew what their relationship is and see how they are supposed to interact, then we can figure out/decied in our opinion on what we see would be best for the park and relay that to the superintendent......

sloppy, that new dodge durango $25K+ vehicle loaded with video cameras, lights, more light and an assualt weapon are all new for the leavenworth ranger district last year..... what do they use this super truck for??? writing tickets for non-paying recreationists....good thing they have an assault rifle for to protect our trails..... i think a major issue with the fee demo program (which you tried to layout) is fairnes// the fact that the usfs's job is to manage the resources that we as US citizens have intrusted them with....so why do they sell lumbar and mining right well below market value?? why do they control the worlds largest and most extensive road system??? another issue to consier is why if this is a good thing are they being underhanded about it?? if it only a demonstration to see if the public will support do they have a gun wielding ranger sitting in the parking lot to issue tickets?? how is that showing my no vote if i have to be face to face with an agressive law enforcement officer that has no legal right to issue me a ticket, when me not buying the demo pass is my no vote?? how can i vote no, if i am being threatend?? are we in zimbabwae??? where is the UN to oversee this process??? if there are any freddies out there, just want to let you know that no way in hell will you ever ever ever ever ever ever ever find me with forest pass or any other type of rereactional fee pass.

okay i'll embelish a little.. since this piece of gear wether it be the tibloc or the ropeman is going to essentially be your belay.....some time needs to be use to set it up...... we thought about this and will's issues were a concern.... basically you need to make the piece fixed to alleviate much movement.....two opposing equalized pieces is how i answered it.... granted this idea works with limited applications....and should only be used by experts...or balls to walls fools...... simuli climbing should only be attempted by parties whom have a good relationship with each other...trust and known abilites are key to fast and furious climbing......

i also have a ropeman you can play with too....
