builder206 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Why reach the top? Isn’t enough just to pass? Since I’ve quit climbing, I’ve decided that hiking up to the point where you can get to the climbs will be my new hobby. at least you won't be all sweaty and tired for the bivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I think we ran into you near Jackass Pass. Were you the party that got lost trying to reach the pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dechristo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 ... a parasol Do you recommend the Petzl, or Yates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 All passes will be compared to aasgard’s pass (the willis wall of hiking). Is there a pass that sucks worse than aasgard for a “day” hike? Yes, the Cascadian Couloir. Aasgard is a joyful walk in the park by comparison. Why in the name of god would you walk up the Cascadian Couloir? Some mountains are better climbed when you have skill to climb them instead of suffering to the top.

kevbone Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 it gets you to where people climb (w/o climbing)... No it dont. the CC is a walk up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 it gets you to where people climb (w/o climbing)... No it dont. the CC is a walk up..... yeah, ok, but she could look over the edge at climbers topping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 OK-- it will be some time before the next installment so i'm going to clarify a few of these issues until i return. 1)patagucci makes the best parasol for passering. it is light weight, stylishly patterned, made from overhyped synthetic material and highly overpriced. if you can't step up to the patagucci passering parasol, go with the yates. 2) i don't climb BUT the cc is not a pass. it is COULOIR~ thus not relevant to this discussion.

KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 2) i don't climb BUT the cc is not a pass. it is COULOIR~ thus not relevant to this discussion. does a pass have to lead to a climbing area to qualify? i can't come up with any passes that really really suck and lead to climbing areas.

Dechristo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 and, don't forget the parasol. If it's sturdy enough, and the wind is favorable, you may be able to pull a Mary Poppins ascent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
