    Question on crampons

    in Newbies

    Alex--after you buy your pons empty out a milk jug and cut some plastic to fit the inside of the points then attach the plastic to the crampons using cord, wire or garbage bag ties. Works pretty well as anti-bot plates.

     

    use forest service fee demo signs. very durable material and it is free!

    INDIAN CREEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    in Access Issues

    you dont need to be against it. it really is inevitable. it is a comment period to where you can voice your concerns and desires with the future development of the area, ie climbing and camping and access. the area is an amazing setting wheter it be for climbing, hiking, camping, mtn biking, exploring anything!!!!!!!!!! the landscape from afar seems so devoid of life, but up close it is everywhere, the plants and animals that inhabit the area are amazing creatures year in, year out surviving the both ends of the spectrum. it is a hardy land. in reality most of the current activites are 10 fold worse then climbing, but we bring no revenue, we have a "wild and escoteric" past so the blm is and will target climbers as a resource. cattle grazing has done more to ruin the natural enviroment in the canyonlands then all the climbers, hikers, jeepers, etc. could even dream of. think of entire canyons with juniper and a small stream. the blm rolls through with 2 d-9 cats with a pice of 2" chain betweem them and "chains" the entire canyon. they drag the chain across the trees to uproot them. then they come through and dose those out of the way and plant grases. granted this form of destruction is currently in limited use, the current landscape of the canyonlands has been shaped by this. and on top of that campers cannot burn the "chained" wood.

     

    one issue that needs to be addressed like 10 years ago is a bathroom factilites. currently you go shit in a scat hole and walk away. around the major campgrounds this is making the surronding area into a land mine of shit. also breaking down soils and what not. i personally look for the test shafts for mining scoping and shit in them. makes sense to me!!!

     

    read over the pdf, print it out and think about it. i can in no way convey my personal feelings for the area as it grows every time i visit.

     

    thanks!

    Prussik South Face: How many "new routes"?

    in Alpine Lakes

    Posted

    the west face of prussik has two or three routes that i know of.

     

    the lady godiva route..which is kearny's route that wanders all over the face....and eventually tops out on the west ridge

     

    the joust splits the roofs that the canyucks spray about. tho it tackles the kitty litter overhanging face from a bottomed out crack into an o/w. the o/w is still awaiting a free ascent.

     

    you will need some lumber or a couple of #5...we are thinking of putting micro up there and slingning him as an intermediate belay.

     

    spunknut and homies are about 4 years too late to snag their line!

    i'd have to agree with you there chucK, j_b does take alot of flack for his point of view. irregardless if the fucking morons who continually insult him personally or not. he stands by his views and that is commendable. to bad none of his detractors share an onuce of civility or integreity!
