i saw the best cragging on earth and i first thought we were going to talk about index. but too bad just some other place..... actually sounds like a lot of fun, but it aint granite(and yes i am a granite snob!!)

you know dwyaner, there are many reasons alot of seattle people hold tacoma in contempt.......i think wayne and garth said it best. (bowing)"we're not worthy!!! we're not worthy!!"

okay okay i refuse to shop at r,e&i and completly disagree with the direction they are taking their company...the co-op thing was a good angle back in the 80's and earlier but now we are in the 00's and things change..... so the people that use r,e&i to exchange equipment when it does not meet their expectations, etc. are crooks... i will publicly humiliate you if i ever hear that you take stuff back to get new stuff, i don't care if you are a legend or just some schmuck like myself..... bone, calm down dude...!!sometimes i wonder....kidz...sheesh!!

well shit i go to lunch comeup with the info come back to lay it on you and bam others have taken care of clod.....must be cause you are from 'r.a.d.o.'....

dont rely on guidebooks is my advice..... i mean typically you can look up at a crag route and make the gear judgement right there....(i suspect you are cragging) and i have also found that you can work different gear in then sometime stated....ahh the beauty of trad climbing...not protection limitations........ as for walls go well just bring your normal wall rack and then look for non-tradiotnal items that you might want to bring..ie hooks, rivots etc.....

how about this cause everyone thinks that old timers won't help the new fish....i'll take you out and show you the ropes if you want just email me and we can set something up!!! then again i am not an old dog, but have tried climbing for sometime......and i still think it is fun!!! erik (the tr puns were not intended in above post)

you should read his autobiography "life of an enviromentaly conscious lesbian woman stuck in a male loggers body"

i didn't get a dividend check.... but if i were to get one, i would buy some of that smoked salom for climbing....you know the kind that you put into the cracks and tie off....the good stuff right by the register..

adr, the article in coulior mag, is wrong on the name of the descent.... for the correct info look into martin volkens new guide for b/c of the snoq pass. the coulior correct name would be the slot coulior and has been known as that for years.....

i dunno dwayner, i got enough gurl issues to play with and them damn burgers are soo good with all the extra grease....i am game!!!!!!

never ever ever like to hear about this stuff..... and i really do hope that jim has a speedy and full recovery... but for me it is always a time to revaluate(i am not speculating baout others or their actions) myself and the simple things that might be overlooked with climbing that sometimes seems so redundent and second nature.... check your knot and harness and your partners...ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my question is whats the deal with so many lockers??? i think that i only carry two at all times...one for my belay device and one for the anchor all other biners would work fine.... i say this for a couple reasons 1. the chance of your locker failing is minimum to none. so just back it up with a reg biner 2. lockers are more expensive then regular biners 3. two opposed gate biners would work well for a top rope as well i think all this triple reduncy is a bit much and can confuse some beginners..... keep it simple. other thing that i think you should consider for tr practice it too prctice always checking yours and your friends knot before going up!!!!!!!! making sure that each others harness is doubler backed.....these are two of the most important skillz wether lead climbing or top roping..... last thing i will spout off is that some locking biners work better then other for this application. petzel pear shaped works well!! have fun!!!
