Ouchhhhhhh

Does it have kevlar in it so that he can knock away the rockfall on his ascents?

Funny you should mention that - the "Stealth" shirt and pants are a poly/kevlar blend.

Anyone see this yet? Arc'teryx is dabbling in fashion - they've got a Fall '09 collection with a few jackets, shirts, sweaters, pants, and a couple tees. I guess the concept is making casual/business-dress clothes and outerwear using technical fabrics, coatings, and features. The mark-ups are pretty...

I have access to a pikachu outfit. i will be joining you this winter, ryan.

You can add the video of me on the peak doing a cannonball into what I thought was soft powder..

I think I got an inch shorter that day.

Unofficial report is out on the accident we witnessed at JTree last month. "1. Woody Stark led a 100' climb on The Great Burrito formation (Real Hidden Valley). He placed an anchor on top. "2. Al Kwok followed the climb, trailing a second rope for the third person (Wendell Smith). The seco...

You people are crazy.

I had a chat with the bungee jump folks, and they said their reservations are full for the day on Saturday. He said that there's usually time at the end of the day for walk-ins, but we're talking 4-5pm here, then hiking out by headlamp.

Can you just show up and pay cash to the bungee outfit? Looking at their website, it says stuff about $20 deposits, reservations, balance due a week out, etc..

I dig my Capilene 3 bottoms. Those plus softshell pants have been perfect for just about anything the SGs have thrown my way. If you expect rain, go with hardshell pants.

Sunday's better for me. Saturday is roller derby.

I got bored..

I got some OR gloves for over 50% off, and SIGG 1L bottles are under $10 now..

Screamin' deals all over the store..especially some of the items that are priced $XX.83, where they take another 50% off.

Nothing even close to climbing equipment on their online shop, so it's gotta be an in-store thing. Maybe just the one location (product manager is a climber and wanted to stock his store with stuff he needs so he can get it at cost?).

Actually, we're in the phase of the earth's life cycle that's like a top running out of steam. The wobble will increase until entropy causes us to fall over on our side. One side of the earth will be a furnace, the other a frigid waste. The only habitable portion of the earth will be on the thin ed...

I think it's a direct results of all the people going up Ice House Saddle at the same time - :D it put too much leverage on the West Coast causing the earth to tilt to the left. If it had been 45% we could be sitting on the Equator Hiking Downhill to the top of Baldy? The problem with the whole thi...

You best start slinging more half-caf-soy-jizzfree-mochachocalatti..


hm...those venoms do look pretty nice..

CAMP Awax tools on REI outlet for 140? They aren't so modular or made of supah cahbun fybah, they seem well designed and made. I might snag a pair for this season..

I put my crampons on in the parking lot.

Used gear sales at Arcadia and HB REIs on the 3rd, homes.

News flash - dailyclimber.com just got out of the the deal-a-day business, citing the slow economy.

I nearly went onto the grassy median on the way to Costco because I was craning my neck and squinting for a look at the mountains..

Wow, sorry to hear about your hoopty. Glad you're alright.

After a particularly harrowing experience near Arrowhead, I started to keep chains in my car all year round. It seemed like if I even took them out in the spring or summer, I'd forget to put them back in for the first winter outing.

My humble abode is nearing the point of degeneracy. I need to shed gear to avoid its collapsing into a black hole.

I saw manbearpig kicking a coyote in Manker Flats.

Aw, yeah, I'm digging snow caves and making igloos this weekend! RAAAAWWWWRRR!

Those aren't chocolate chips..

2122HRS and the sky is SQUIRTING.
