kukuzka1 Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 LAME. you could at least have someone sprinkle styro crumbles to imitate spin drift Quote
ivan Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 drytooling w/ adze still on the tool, eh? yeah i did that once...once. Quote
luvshaker Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Love the second pic!! I don't even know what to say... I just can't stop laughing! I guess I just miss being young. Lee Quote

summitchaserCJB Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 I wore one but they didn't. Quote
The Cascade Kid Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 that's some pretty new looking gear. Quote
Mr. Hands Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Holy Crap! Thats rad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Off_White Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 +1 for a sense of humor, nice to see you exhibit some potential. I agree that the middle picture is the winner of the bunch, you should send it in to the climbing rags. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks OW. truth is that is actually was kinda fun. I'll try submitting that photo. Any leads on who to contact? Quote
kayfire Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Must...resist...posting...smartass...comment. If this post was in jest, then cool; if it's serious, then you've confirmed my suspicions that you're a douche. Quote
magellan Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 That looks like the new BD Couloir harness. How is belay boy liking it? Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 so far so good. i think they both have/like them. Quote
Crack Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 In another generation of Repeat Ascenders, it's really refreshing to see folks still breaking New Ground. No one thought Madonna would make it when she was rolling around on the floor in fishnet stockings -who's laughing now Kayfire?! Curious -what is the Leader carrying in the pack? Quote
chubler Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 [quote=Off_White I agree that the middle picture is the winner of the bunch, you should send it in to the climbing rags. AAI is looking for a cover shot for their 2011 Catalogue. This shot surely exemplifies the NW. Quote
counterfeitfake Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Is it a first ascent if you just go sideways? Quote
John Frieh Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Bring your "ultra hardcore" drytool skillz to the PDX Ice Fest... prizes for first place! Quote

In the pack we just put random stuff you need when messing around drytooling. Water, jacket... Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Is it a first ascent if you just go sideways? Is the wild traverse on Midnight rock a route? In otherwords, yes. A traverse is a legit route. Quote
jimmythegoon Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Is it a legit route if it's on an entirely man-made wall? Quote
rob Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 I'm pretty sure this is exactly how the mounties teach ice climbing. Quote
Jim Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Is the 'do and muttochops photoshopped or is that the real thing? Awesome. Quote
