Buckaroo Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 im sure more than half the peopel going up the Tooth 'solo' it Probably not, most of the numbers are in Mounties and they are always roped. Probably 1/4 or less are soloing. Quote
fenderfour Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 SCJB, I don't know how long you have been climbing, but you should probably climb more and talk about it less. When you first start climbing, we all think what we are doing is amazing and special. Once you know what you are doing, you realize how retarded you were at first. Seriously, you seem pretty proficient. Check out some of the moderate classics like the North Ridge of Stuart (CNR for full value), NEB of Slesse, or Liberty Crack. Stop playing pattycake on Mt Si and Mountaineer's basic routes, and more than anything, stop spraying about playing pattycake on these routes. Yes, we were all new climbers at one time. Yes, we all did the pattycake routes too. That's not the point. The point is, when we didn't know shit about shit we didn't spray about it or argue with people about it. Go climb something that will actually be challenging for you. then come back and tell us about it. Quote
Pilchuck71 Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Once you know what you are doing, you realize how retarded you were at first. Dude, I read some of the tr's on here - such as the free ascent of Thin Red Line and realize I am still retarded. The stuff I am doing hardly seems worthy. The point is, when we didn't know shit about shit we didn't spray about it or argue with people about it. Then again we did't have the internet to spray about upon, when we were starting out. Quote

Left the house at 3pm. My partners were all busy. It was fun to actually do a car to car push on something moderate. But ya, there are much better fish out there. I just needed to test myself on this one car to car (and get out of my "bubble"). It was fun, I don't have regrets. But ya, I hear ya. I realize my competency is much greater than the routes I've done so far. Not sure why that is. Guess I need to start pushing the envelope. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Oh and all those routes are on my tick list. Just need to learn to aid better. Also add backbone ridge with fin direct. Quote

summitchaserCJB Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Dude I posted one post on a relevant thread. Hardly spraying considering the stuff that goes down on this forum. Quote
G-spotter Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Oh and all those routes are on my tick list. Just need to learn to aid better. You need to learn to aid better for CNR Stuart and NEB Slesse? O.K. Thanks for the honesty. Please keep it clean so you don't pin scar the cracks too much for us free climbers Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 no man. Liberty crack. You free that stuff? Quote
counterfeitfake Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 So I actually did it car to car today which was fun. Did it in 2:13 which I was happy with. You should sign your ice tools. Between that and the custom tape job they would be worth a fortune. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 And I doubt it. They are just barely selling below asking price. {:>( Quote

He needs to fix pins and bolts every three feet so the sprot climbers can get their burn. Quote

Airyourmomma Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Dudes, is this another mock Summitchaser post? I love those, I want in!! Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Ok air...you do the car to car in faster time. Check back. If you do it and provide proof, mock away. Oh, and do the north ridge of baker in a day too. Then post away. Quote
Pilchuck71 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 do it and provide proof, mock away. And we know you really did it youre stated time by what proof? Are we not gentlemen (okay I am using the term loosely) and take eachothers word as such? Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Ya well someone with 1 post has slightly less weight than a regular. If you want proof I can send you a video. But you can always fake that stuff. But who does that? I mean seriously. Quote
Pilchuck71 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I should carry no weight, shit I cannot spell or even pick the right you as in your not you're. I shoulda done got me one of them edumacations. I don't need proof anyway because everyone knows if it is on the infernets it must be true....right? Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 I don't even know what to say to this. Yes? Quote
j_b Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Soloing the Tooth from the trailhead in a couple hours doesn't seem that much fun to me. What about trying to see how many Snoqualmie peaks you can solo in a day? Quote
Maine-iac Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Dude a little while ago I soloed Mt Hood, got out of the ski resort in 2 hours (it wasn't groomed so I wore my 'pons ), AND I made it back to Eugene for 9am class. BAM! Quote
ivan Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 the world will not rest until this very important question is answered Quote
