North_by_Northwest Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 ...to go climbing on Sunday. I can leave as soon as noon on Saturday. I'd like to go to Index but could be talked into Leavenworth or maybe even some alpine nonsense. I like to climb cracks and have rack, rope and car. Can drive from Seattle area. Call whenever.

MarshMan19 Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 I'm in Bellevue and would like to go anywhere there is rock Index is good and Levenworth would be fun but short. I don't have a harness though so that could cause a problem if you don't have 2! PM me if you interested... ~Marshall~ Quote
E-rock Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Yeah, who on earth is gonna trust a partner that doesn't even have a harness? Quote
skyclimb Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 climbed a few routes with an old schooler from yos. who used a bowline around the waist as a harness. You can also throw in two leg loops using the good ole' pretzle technique. Climb ON!!! Quote
skyclimb Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 oh yeah, body belay, under the leg, over the shoulder, down to the waist!! Complete self-reliance. Quote
Dru Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 How is a boulderer without a harness gonna know how to tie a bowline huh Quote

Distel32 Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 bowlines are easy! marshall go buy a damn harness!!!! it's been like 5 months and you still haven't gotten one!? put off your next 40sack and go buy one! Quote
MarshMan19 Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Yeah it's pretty sad huh! Anyone have any good ideas on the best cheap harness on the market!? Or even a good place to get one cheap? Quote
slothrop Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Yeah, seriously, if you can't afford a harness, you need to smoke less weed. You can get a fine harness for about $35 bucks most anywhere. Quote
MarshMan19 Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Well I know that but what should I get and where? Quote

JoshK Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Seriously, quit fucking asking questions and go buy one. It's a fucking harness, not a complex machine. It's webbing. If you plan on hanging in it for a long ass time, get some padding, if not, then who cares. Here is a bunch of sale harnesses at rei-outlet.com. Order one of these if you can't bum a ride to a climbing shop. http://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?stat=8265&langId=-1&storeId=8001&textQuery=harness&x=0&y=0 Quote
fleblebleb Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Funniest thread for awhile. Get a helmet too, while you're at it. Quote
Sphinx Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 And an inflatable partner, at this rate it'll be the only one you'll have.... Quote
fleblebleb Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 And a harness for the inflatable partner, and some lead weights. Can I buy an inflatable ropegun somewhere? Quote
