Dec 12, 2008 That sucks. Was it one of the jogging sized containers or the size police carry? Everything I have heard is antecedal and I am kind of curious. I remember reading one of Jef… View Message

Dec 12, 2008 I can't imagine using a knife on a dog would turn out well for you or the dog. Pepper spray seems to be the best option, although I remember talking with a former Post Office… View Message

Nov 23, 2008 I sincerely hope that no more of your pets meet an untimely end, but given that you have lost three pets in one year it seems somewhat reckless to continue operating under the… View Message

Nov 22, 2008 Growing up we always had a couple of Jack Russel terriers around. They are very high energy dogs and prefer to run around all day. One day after getting back from a walk I le… View Message

Nov 22, 2008 I grew up along a major highway, we had this thing, a leash I think. Did a great job of keeping the dogs off the road. View Message

Oct 18, 2008 Bail gear, or try not to fall on? Seriously, either you trust it fully or you don't use it. What good is a piece that is probably ok, especially if it is your only piece? View Message

Oct 7, 2008 Because "trad" climbing exists only in the minds of a few internet pundits. Unless you are climbing by their rules, you are not trad climbing. View Message

Oct 3, 2008 I've been on a trad bender the last few weekends and I'm feeling weak. Looking to go out and fall off some routes, repeatedly. Primo wall, Wall of Justice, Easter Rock, Animal… View Message

Sep 30, 2008 Sport or trad, don't really care. Free after 3:PM. Brian View Message

Sep 21, 2008 Practice for the creek? There is maybe 20 feet of crack where jamming is the most efficient, CCC climbs like a sport route for the most part. View Message

Sep 9, 2008 I used to use them, but I have found Aliens and offset nuts place/clean quicker and fit more placements. The pink only makes it out of the closet for the funkiest of routes. View Message

Aug 25, 2008 A “no falls” style of climbing conflicts with one of the aspects I enjoy most about climbing: pushing right to the edge of what I can do. Doing what I think I can d… View Message

Jun 20, 2008 Thats longest EULA I have seen in awhile, 34 pages at size 12 font, single space. View Message

May 30, 2008 Wasn't there a whole lot of fuss about a bolt being added to 'Cat in the Hat' either by the FA or with his permission? View Message

May 21, 2008 My impression has been in areas where people tend to repeat routes alot (Eldo, Turkey rocks, and pretty much any small crag out East) ratings often seem to be redpoint based. I… View Message

Apr 24, 2008 I'd like to hit up some 10s or 11s. Roof routes, W. Ridge, or Castle rock would be good, but I am open to suggestions. View Message

Apr 23, 2008 This is what comes to my mind. I have found many of the more difficult ones are amenable to a mixed free/aid/hangdog approach. 5.8 Pear Buttress (Lumpy) Mr. Natural… View Message

Apr 21, 2008 An aside on the topic of anchor maintenance. For someone who has never placed a bolt, you across a hanger with a loose nut. It is always ok to tighten it, should I use a wrench? View Message

Apr 18, 2008 Wayward Penguins View Message

Apr 16, 2008 Just to throw some full on the fire. I don't know the details of either ascent, but I am guessing the people last weekend, even if there were in over there head and had to aid,… View Message

Apr 15, 2008 I was in IC a month ago and noticed on several routes the anchor chains had cut into the rock from blowing in the wind (Scarface in particular had 'christmas trees' from the ch… View Message

Mar 29, 2008 Don't your standard PE nalgenes have pthalates in them? Whether you use aluminium, lexan, or polethylene there seems to be some poorly quantified boogieman out to get you. Pick… View Message

Mar 19, 2008 For craggin, leftover's, but I don't go on too many road trips. View Message

Mar 18, 2008 The Acrophile in South St. Vrain, has a wide overhanging section, but it might be more in the category of wide cracks that require some offwidth technique. View Message

Feb 29, 2008 I usually don't feel that I have had a good day climbing unless I end up taking multiple falls or aiding a section of climb. One of the most anti-climatic moments of last seaso… View Message

Feb 25, 2008 Kashmir (less than vertical, but nothing to hit) and Grandmothers challenge come to mind as stuff I have fallen on lately. Tagger, Kings X, and Northcutt Start also come to min… View Message

Feb 13, 2008 Steep downhill shots are always frustrating. Considering the horizontal distance to the target, rather than the diagonal when calculating drop is the general rule, correct? View Message

Dec 14, 2007 Usually I have approximately the same opinion as someone else, what does posting add, it just makes a more repetitive thread. If I want to read inane threads, I go to "/.". Mos… View Message

Nov 5, 2007 I think I have been beaten to it (well not the exact route, but within a few feet). There is alot of fresh rock out there why make everyone confirm to what the "community"… View Message

Nov 5, 2007 I think my sarcasm was misinterpreted. I find it fascinating that people actually listen to what this or that committee decides. I would hope that in some areas people would b… View Message

Nov 5, 2007 I for one welcome our new route development overlords! View Message

Nov 2, 2007 Looking to head to Indian creek for an extended weekend or a little bit longer. Have two sets of cams and I can probably beg, borrow, or steal another set or two. View Message

Oct 30, 2007 I was at the New River Rendezvous a couple of years back and took a self-rescue course. I seem to recall the instructor recommending using the EDK for a cordalette. I never did… View Message

Oct 15, 2007 I climbed using primarily the older generation flexcams for about 2 years. Currently I use a mix of aliens, flexcams, and a couple of BD cams. The small ones (smaller than fing… View Message

Oct 11, 2007 If anybody is interested in climbing I am free after 1:00 or so on Friday. Brian Adzima 724.456.8847 View Message

Oct 11, 2007 Anyone interested in climbing in Eldo this weekend. I'd like to get on Tagger again, but would be up for just about anything from 5.9 to 11+ or so. Brian Adzima View Message
