John Frieh Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Mini haul bag... bouldering pad...11' boulder (And a V negative 2 at that). I hang my head in shame. I am a gaper. I have gaped.

rbw1966 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Were there many mazamas there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Not that weekend, but back in late March I had two weekends in a row where it was first Boalps (or whatever the acronym is) and the next mazamas... I can't help but laugh when I highball/boulder stuff they are top roping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I was with the Boealps. And I want to make a correction - we were aiding up those finger cracks, not TR'ing them... sheesh Everyone has to learn somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Good work! The two best tools you can take into the back country are knowledge and judgment (which was exactly what you were obtaining at HT). One with one the other is useless but together they are invaluable. Word to the wise: avoid getting into aid climbing unless you have large amounts of disposable income for future rack expansions. And cam hooks are your friend. Personally I have no beef with any of the outdoor groups (Mounties, etc) that are commonly the butt of many jokes on this page (unless they don’t let me pass on route); any group that promotes leave no trace ethics is alright in my book.

Ricardo_Montalban Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 yeah, i was out there with the mazama's intermediate class and to help with their basic class (you wanted confessions right?) we weren't learning to climb, we were teaching them how to use the ropes and gear. i am soooooooo glad that's behind me now!

cj001f Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 we weren't learning to climb, we were teaching them how to use the ropes and gear. The first step is acceptance of the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo_Montalban Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 i'm putting together a recovery program if you know of any others that need help...that is if it's not too late for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
