I'll second Caveman's suggestion. I picked up two matching tools for ~$100 clams brand new.

You can clearly see the toprope in the corner of the picture. Call it what you will. [Roll Eyes]

Holieeeee shiaaaaat! Look what happens when I leave you people alone for an afternoon. Out of control.

 

Anyway, who was it that asked for naked chicks bouldering? As it turns out, there was, at one point, a nekked bouldering calender - one of chicas and one of hombres. I'll see if I can find it/them - the pics are pretty funny...

 

That'll be tomorrows porn/money shots...

Oh the anticipation.

They don't make diapers big enough for this route. I think I'll just leave that half-moon unzipped for full exposure and release.

 

Praying for lots of snow and very cold weather.

Looked like the fang to me, and the URL seems to bear that out. Goes at WI6 [Eek!][Eek!][Eek!] when it's fully formed.

 

I walked past it a couple of times last year, during the first pass it had yet to touch down and a full on shower was dripping through the core. I could see that the ice was about an inch thick, although it would be hard to know just how thick it was once it had formed fully. Once of the guys I was chatting with had been climbing in the area for several years and talked about watching Helgi Christiansen climb it in early season conditions, then watching the entire formation collapse a day or two later.

 

I stopped by later in the season after it had touched down and filled in. In its first thirty feet the route ascended through the overhung base an ice-formation that looked like something roughly akin to a massive frozen pine cone. Once can apparently hook these things but sinking a screw in them is apparently next to impossible. Maybe you would be able to sling them if you could hang on long enough, but most folks who climb ice at that level just climb through to the vertical stalk. Then it's another 90 feet of dead vertical to slightly overhanging ice, then out over a small roof and onto a hanging ice-curtain to the finish.

 

It is a killer picture, but afte being there and looking at that sucker in person, the first sensation I feel upon looking at it is a mild case of nausea, followed by the desire to run away and hide under something.

 

How about a picture of a nice, 10 foot thick WI3 flow of blue plastic ice? That'd get this guy excited... [smile]
