North_by_Northwest Posted May 10, 2003 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-rock Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 Yeah, who on earth is gonna trust a partner that doesn't even have a harness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyclimb Posted May 11, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted May 12, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted May 12, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
