>>Is there a lot of bouldering in the V0-V3 range? the answer depends on what you're comparing it to. i don't think squamish has as many problems as say bishop or hueco in that range, but there are definitely enough problems to climb on. if you're only gonna be up here for 2 days, the amount of prob...

i've done the drive through sacramento/s. lake tahoe and i've also done it over mt shasta. my experience has been that going over mt shasta is about 3 hours shorter

nah, i was about to say the same thing myself. it sucks when whenever you say something on this forum somebody has something stupid to say in response and 'why don't you just chip it then' definitely qualifies...

you might want to consider cali traffic. if you get stuck in a major city during rush hour you'll be pissed. if you go through idaho, the only major city with traffic problems is seattle i think, which you can time perfectly by leaving at the right time..

what is your 'mountaineering' definition of a short approach?

7-days is long and less than 6 hours is short, right?

brownpoint - a climber who while climbing the split pillar cannot make it to the top (where one can #2 in a bag, chalkbag, etc.) and manages to soil their pants while sending.........

pinkpoint - leading a climb from the ground up on pre-placed gear, without falling, not onsight/flash... some claim that sport climbing's redpoints are actually 'pinkpoints' but i prefer to leave the term for trad.... punter - a climber who prefers to TR (with helmet on), wearing socks in shoes, and...

you don't climb cracks cause people s--- in them? i guess that kinda makes sense?

i always find it interesting how people behave when they're travelling at a slower pace than someone approaching them from behind/below, based on - for lack of a better term - the position of authority they currently have. when you're walking on the sidewalk and you're about to pass a person, almost...

crazy. soloing with arm-bars. this reminds me of a discussion around a campfire a couple of years back. these climbers were talking about what takes to say you're a 5.10 climber - a well-rounded, solid 5.10 climber. they started making criteria, including being able to onsight run-out 10d slab, bein...

jason, did he lie-back it or get right in it?

good point.... might not be able to practice your hip jams and groin-to-back cams
