What's more dangerous, a solo up Liberty Ridge or an inexperienced ropemate among the DC cattle drive? Here's a question: Did anyone really teach you to read surface ice/snow, suspect areas, or did you come about this the old fashioned way? Quote

Dan_Larson Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Thanks ...big Fella, your swell too. I know I said I was done with it but a friend wants to do it on the 8th /9th of Sept. There are 4 of us and it should be a good workout and who knows maybe even fun. Yes you know what I am talking about THE D.C. wanna go like to finally meet you and see if you can actually walk uphill that far Quote
allthumbs Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 Thanks for the invite but no thanks. I was on Ptarmigan Ridge yesterday and on the way out from Camp Kaiser I thought my knees were going to explode. They're fucking shot. I think I'd better be thinking up another new hobby. Maybe we can meet someday at a Pube Club or something...I'll be the one in a wheelchair. Seriously Dan, thanks for asking. [ 08-25-2002, 02:32 PM: Message edited by: trask ] Quote

allthumbs Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 That's what we all like about you...nothing! Quote

sexual_chocolate Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Hey, I heard someone say bolts are the work of Satan. Is this true? If so, this truly concerns me. What is your opinion? Quote

Mmmmm, that could explain the evil voice I heard as I went to clip the 13th bolt the other day at Vantage. I knew something was wrong when my draw turned into a snake as soon as I clipped it. Fortunately for me the Croc Hunter was nearby and rapped down and "took that naughty bloak" away. It's all starting to make sense now. "Exorcise" before climbing sport routes!

skykilo Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Can somebody tell me whether or not I should do THIS??? Quote
Alpinfox Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Can somebody tell me whether or not I should do THIS??? Certainly not! Blue and black should NEVER be worn together. Quote
MisterMo Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 How about with spats? Then it would look pretty natty. Quote
eternalX Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 i rope up when necessary, probably about 75% of the time on glaciers. in spring/early summer it really isnt necessary. i descended the whole fisher chimneys route from summit in july once without roping up. following a beaten trail with no punch throughs. How did you make it down Winnie's Slide? Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Downclimb Winnies Slide. Can somebody tell me whether or not I should do THIS??? Hard Shells are so 90's ..... Quote
