either way, sunday river is now closed. may re-open again by this coming weekend but doubtful since it's in the 60's and raining there.

when i do the fastest time, i don't tell anyone what it is so it's never broken!

yeah.. funny timing about that.. ;)

Yes, I do! I found out about the Armadillo Route a few months ago and it quickly made the list for next year.

Since Bobby is going, I suddenly can't make it. Oh well, maybe next time.

Gracious :)

With the rock climbing season beginning to wind down, I wanted to grab one more little rock alpine adventure before winter took a hold. The day before I was cragging around The Eaglet so on this day it was a no-brainer to go visit my favorite place to climb, Huntington Ravine. Having climbed...

will you climb hard ice routes so it's already pegged out for me?

it's just walkin' ;)

that's good, because i'm not talking about physics! :p i'm also not talking about going 100 yards back and forth, just fyi. yes, small zig zags.

Traversing across a steep slope is less energy than the extra distance as the extra distance is nominal. Just thought i'd answer your question so you didn't have to spend the energy on wikipedia. ;)

The straight (back) leg gets the rest because you are using your bones instead of your muscles. The bent (front) leg gets a little rest because your weight is on your back leg. That's how I see it anyway. Some people think its a lot of BS but it seems to work for me. If anything, it keeps...

Oh, I see! Thanks for the info.. that is interesting. I could have used a pipe leaping to the hold I couldn't reach on Pitch 2. Not a big fan of leaping off a rock to another one with hundreds of feet below me. :p

After two great weekends at Cathedral Ledge, it was time to head to Cannon Cliff. Jeff and I decided on the mega-classic Whitney-Gilman Ridge. After climbing Pinnacle Buttress with Adam, I was in mood for more routes with rich history. [Cannon Cliff from the trailhead] In the smallest of...

how did you like that ride up to aiguille du midi? :D i was light headed for about an hour.. going from 3,300ft to 12,600ft in 20 minutes is quite the ride! needless to say, we had to wait til i was not so dizzy before exiting out into the knife-edge snow ridge. ;) i hope you stopped to...

They kicked me out. After I turned up the badass volume on my Aztars. The final product. No doubt I'll be getting the Nomics in the future, but I bought myself at least two ice seasons without really wanting (shall I go as far as saying "needing") them after I modified mine. So they will do...

i'll wave a flag from the top of cathedral ledge tomorrow. :cool:

i agree with this.. but not the "state-of-the-art".. the "new, less expensive, straighter shaft tools." ;)

never too far away. ;) gothics north face is awesome. when craig, jeff and i did it, i brought both my axe and my two tools.. and believe it or not, i used all three. it all depends on the conditions at the time.. and your route selection as noted earlier. if i were to go back, i'd just...

Right now my rack is as good as whoever's I borrow. ;)
