I'm assuming once there we can buy a book for ice climbs of the area.
You can buy the book around town, check out FF or Marmot.

dberdinka said:Come on, half you fools at least! did triple couliors last year, others of you have to have the Follsom-Heller route on your ticklist to be...
shuddup already, do you want to have another weekend like this with a dozen people and 24 swinging tools on the route at the same time?
I'm feeling like the only climber (if I can still call myself that) who hasn't climbed Triple Couliors this winter/spring/summer? Any feeling on how much longer it's going to last? One more weekend? Or melted out today? Thanks.Darin
so did you get a chance to do it? -

Direct North Face of Dragontail.
These are the WI3 runnels directly below the third coulior. I predict this will be as popular in 03/04 as Triple-Couliors was in 02/03.
I'm getting the same vibe on this one, I've talked to several that have this on their tick list - including me.
I've also heard talk of some adventuring up above the 2nd c. and left of the 3rd where paco did some soloing last year.Here's mine ...
1. NF direct dragontail
2. ne slab tooth
3. lead a wi5
I'll break the rules and include a 4. Get timL
to do the bolted mixed routes at alpental on a warm and rainy day before any ice forms. -

My partner's bailed for the weekend - actually they just postponed our Smith trip. The weather looks SWEET for this weekend though. I'm tempted . . .
Anyone else looking for a partner? I've never been to Smith but have been leading 9's (sport) and 10's around here. . .I can belay up to 5.14 though
hey b,I'm game ..

make a (whatever that is) SRENE anchor
From John Long:
Solid, Redundant, Equalized, No Extension

lyco..... is a good trad climb. it's a corner crack and will take as much gear as you own. Anchors at the top to rap off of.
At smith also consider super slab by the red wall area. It's 3 pitches (5.6). Only downside I can think of for a new leader is the second pitch, though easy (5.0-5.2) is a slab traverse, with minimal placement opportunities. You could always rap after the first pitch though.
-
I'll throw in a second for timL, and all the other rope guns who got me up some stellar rock this summer and inspired me to push my limits on lead.
... and the coolest cats award goes to Jeremy M. and Frank H. for letting me jump in on their TC climb literally 5 minutes before heading up for the first couloir. You guys rock
J.M., I still owe you 20 bucks for Gustav's
I've done something almost every weekend this year, and haven't had a bum partner yet.
-
the msr's dark red color is also great for melting snow in the sun. just fill it up with snow, leave it out while you're climbing, and it'll be water when you get back.

Klenke: "Goodfellas" is the movie
Actually, I think it was Joe Pesci in "Casino." What do I win?
You win nothing, it was goodfellas .. an all time classic.

You're all a bunch of wimps.
Friday was dry, Saturday was mostly dry - ok it drizzled a little bit at times - but the rock stayed dry all day. Friday night fire and beer, Saturday night fire, beer, horsecock, slide shows, and rain. Sunday morning rain, and some more rain, and early morning bail back home.
Met some good folks, climbed, ate too much, drank too much, and had a great time.
Not even the BD store has anything larger than 46.
