I climb for myself, I climb for fun, numbers don't matter. I climb because climbing is better than getting blown up in some foreign country. Also, your really not a "climber" until you climb more than a pitch or two at a time.

I have a Mountain Hardware King Tut, LG Gore Dry Loft, -20 Degree Bag for sale if anyone needs a serious sleeping bag for winter climbing/mountaineering trips. The bag has only been used about 5 times. Down insulation, Gore Dry Loft Shell. I bought for around $500 pro deal. If anyone is interested I...

RRG climber wants to know who took the registery down...the more important question is who put it up in the first place. Do they own the rock? How did they decide the climb needed a registery after all these years? If you don't own the rock then maybe don't put up a registry in the first place and s...

I'm with Driskell here. Why wouldn't you try to keep an accident from happening? That is the real access issue. People get hurt bad and the fs and privater owners are much more cautious about what they let happen. Wes, who cares about the hardware? Are you serious? Everyone is inexperienced at one p...

And hopefully you know you need a rope and a harness or else you probably don't have enough sense to get onto Roadside even though it is an easy climb. I hope you were kidding about that??? Goo...

I don't think roadside counts as multi-pitch since you can do it in one pitch easily. I always liked Diamond in the Crack. I just like that you are usually there by yourself.

Miguel is a great guy and I'm sure he needs to look out for the welfare of his livelyhood. I'm sure that some stuff I did in the past makes this type of stuff neccesary. I always just wanted to have fun but I definently wouldn't want someone like Miguel to get in trouble with the law and possibly lo...

Try out the La Sportiva Mythos shoes. They are awesome all around shoes. If you only have money for one pair they are the ones to get
