That is exactly what I was referring to here.

Multipitch routes are on Goose Egg Mountain. Ride the Lightning, CommandHo, Shock and Awe, Dirty Sanchez, etc. See the link that scot'teryx graciously provided above. ^^ Climb earlier in the day if you're going up soon, as the climbs on GE are south/southeast facing. It'll get pretty cold pretty quickly after the sun passes over the top.

Bill Robins was quite "famous" for his choice of route names, wherever he climbed. His legacy is probably most notable around Frenchman's Coulee. Check the guide book for some of his more memorable route monikers... PS Saber: Did you get the package I sent you? And did you check out the downtown store for "the manuscript" yet?

Italians are "kinda welcome" in Libya. They used to "own" it, ya know. Darn guinea Colonials...

I smell Kajhikistan, Beth Rodden, Tommy Caldwell, & crew, and that whole shoot-em-up thing all over again...

Sorry, my bad. Only two parts total.

Oh, but I have. It wasn't a pretty time, back then.

She lapsed into unconsciousness right after the slide. Woke up in the ski lodge the next day. All previous brain function intact. Really wierd. Sunday's part one of three. Monday's part two of three. Tune in tomorrow for part three, same Bat time, same Bat channel.

If'n you've been around this board for any length of time, you'd have gone thru this shiznit/gumnut/sybian crap before once or twice. It seems to happen about once a year or so. Pay it no mind, get some *real* work done today, and it should be fine by tomorrow's logon post time. And remember kids, Zlib compression is disabled.

Ah yes, I'd say it has. But then, why wouldn't it have? WTF would you be wantin' to come this way for ice when you've got Hyalite, anyway? Planning on relocating to the PNW or something?

That would be either Lillowet in BC, or Strobach Mountain in Yakima County. Can't speak much for Lillowet, but Strobach boasts several WI4s and 5s, in the requested pitch length, and are generally around later than most WA ice climbs. Get this book to hep ya out (see attachment).

Yeah, Bronc, I read Sunday's article, but I haven't seen today's paper yet. That whole thing got by me completely.

We went to John Miner’s funeral service on Friday. Then we went over to my wife’s brother’s house and hung out with his family and ate and drank a bunch. On Saturday, we took the kids to Feller-McWhirter (sp?) Park in Redmond and let them hang out with the animals and play on the swings and stuff. Then we ate a drank a bunch more. We headed back to Yakivegas on Saturday. On Sunday, we invited The Boy’s godfather over for the day, and we all went to the park and The Boy played on the swings and fed the ducks. Then we all went out and ate and drank a bunch more. Casual weekend. PS: The views of Rainier and Baker from Redmond were spectacular on Friday and Saturday. It was a very nice service for John. RIP.

Define "quality". That'll make a huge difference in the answers you receive.

Now that just sucks out loud. Come on, you fucktard thieves!

Five posts in a row to the same f'kn thread. That oughta about kill this one.

Actually, wouldn't the worst technical gaffe be the fact that he's shown leading with a top rope in that scene? <snip> The "TR lead" was not on the Eiger footage, but on the So. Utah footage. Small point, but true. Secondly, if you look closely, he was wearing an MSR helmet, which I used for caving for years. They are rated for mine safety, I believe, so it's not that far of a stretch for them to be used for rock climbing. Things fall on your head in mines, as well. Mebbe it had more to do with the predominant Ameri-ethnocentrism paradigm of the times to use a national brand instead of a Joe Brown or something?

Worst technical gaffe for the So. Utah footage was the presence of the TR to Clint, who was supposed to be leading the climb.

Thayer David played "Dragon", to whom Clint referred to as "the fat albino" in the film. David died just a coupla years after The Eiger Sanction was released to theaters. He also appeared on several popular television series from the time period (Wild Wild West, Kojak, Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels, Hawaii Five-O, etc.). Source.

This ^^ was more along the lines of the answer that I was asking for. Not a 1-arm from the get-go, but working towards it.

I'm quite aware that it's assisted. That wasn't the question.

He used a knife, remember?

This "guy" wants to wish timmy a Happy Birthday.

Sorry, Alex, I was thinking of that time suggestion of yours as booting it up there. I suppose you could stash your boards and come down from the Pearly Gates behind Crater Rock to pick them up. I was thinking of the descent in terms of a striaght bug-out from the top down to Timberline. Hence, booting it up to Illumination. My bad. That time on skins is doable, even by this FOWB.

I've always just grabbed my arm just below the wrist with the other hand and done one-armed pull-ups that way. Am I missing something? Is that making it easier, and I'm not being efficient in the work-out?
