well, you can mention how you might be able to avoid such stuff falling on your bean. snow conditions do change! has anyone found soft, wet snow or has this week of mostly sunny skies firmed things up a bit? what about those bergschrund problems? have the recent warm temps caused lots of large slides? ok- is it really pushing it to do it in two days? i have to be back at work on monday. i'm somewhere between speedy gonzales and the turtle who won the race. conceptualize "average" and let me know- i'll decide whether or not i'm average. in any case- contrast your response with the others- can you see any difference? just how specific should the questions be?

the metolius rock rings are a good choice because they allow more natural movement of the elbows and shoulders. i don't suggest hanging statically- it seems to damage my joints. try campusing once in a while- much better than hanging.

i'll second that. super mountain 9's are my favorite boot so far- great lacing system- good support and flexibility. can climb steep ice with them and they hike fine. one thing to notice is the seam on the heal where the sole is attached- it irritated my feet at first. duct tape on my heal did the trick.

they are a great steep face climbing shoe- they can handle thin cracks, but they are too aggressive to jam wider cracks. size them small. great for sport and steep granite.

lets remember that when hemingway was young, his mother made him wear a dress around the house.

i think he is ok, stitches on his head- he'll be back climbing in a few weeks.

would you can it with the way homo pussy crap?

will you chop the route from the ground up?

do i have to wear a hairshirt too? [This message has been edited by scott (edited 04-16-2001).]

what about ground up from hooks with a bosch, then redpointed?

even though it seems to dodge the issue, i don't mind if it is well bolted-- not too many bolts and no bolts where there is gear. i don't know if the place should be rap bolted, though. climbed on lead and then bolted- ok. but working from the top down on a mountain route sounds kinda fishy.

it hasn't been repeated.

one other thing to think about is icefall from near the coleman headwall. the night before we went in a piece the size of a house came down. we walked over the pieces the next morning on our way to the north ridge. try to move through there real quick. most of the route is very easy, but it sounds like getting on to the upper glacier can vary. we belayed for one 20 foot step that was pretty steep and was hard blue ice running with some very cold water. once above that it eases again-- we cut left before the summit. my partner punched through to his chest twice on the way across the glacier. have a good time all the time

if you mean the pete doorish route- i don't think it has seen a second ascent. it is hard aid- but might go free at 12b or so. someone has maybe done the first couple of pitches at mid 11-.

someone want to remove the above post?

it could be. rather than get off thread, i'll kick this one inside. thanks.
