JoshK Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Relax, the poor guy is probably just overwhelmed with anticipation of leaving the hellhole of the flatlands. He is also dillusional thinking every weekend is going to be good weather for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatland Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 (edited) OK, OK, OK! So, want to kick my butt. So a guy ask 13 stupid questions and he earn his own thread? I've been in school for 20 years and I get stupider each year. Just have alittle mercy and tell me how you all say such smart things.

fleblebleb Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hahaha DPS you made me go read the snow caves thread. Â Flatland: "Are the snow conditions good in June?" DPS: "Uh, depends on the weather. Aaargh" Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 I apologize for using the term 'dumbass'. I hope I did not hurt your feelings. Your questions are all valid, however, I would expect someone who is planning to climb routes like Ptarmigan Ridge, Thin Red Line and Slesse to have their systems worked out. Your questions made it sound like you had your routes all picked out, now you just need to buy the gear and learn how to use it. I have done most of the routes you mentioned but it took me 10 years and many attempts before catching the right snow conditions and weather.

flatland Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Ummm, thanks, I guess. And I'm touched by your deep concern. I have done several climbs of this difficulty before. I have 70 consecutive days of climbing time to kill this summer. What would you do? Go to index . . . and crag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 flute. Â you still seem bent on that whole index thing. Â anyone can hike up hill for days. but only real men can flash 5.6! Â funny. Â if i have not climbed your projects i will this summer and with 30 days cragging! Â that way i can flash your 5.4 cruxes, with your old lady in my back pocket! Â ha!
