My rock scaling from this past season has really improved my hangboarding. that's really the whole point of getting owt and climbing rocks. I no. I am pleased to see that I'm getting some benefit from this whole rock climbing thing. Rock climbing really makes you appreciate the hangboard so much more! Nothing breaks when you hang bored, and you know exactly what you are grabbing. And it takes a lot less time to do than this whole driving to freaking KY thing.
This is all tru. I've obvously been putting far too much effort into my cross training.

Speaking of cross training, had an amazing run on Saturday. 12km, averaged 5min55sec/km or something, but that factored in going up two big hills. Was keeping it at almost 5min30sec/km for the 6-7km after the hills.
Felt good on it too, I wasn't killing myself for that pace.

Kind of a dive, but google maps says they have micros and fridges. It's also five blocks from our place and pretty close to downtown. Seems like you save $10/night compared to the western heritage. Sweet, but keep in mind that Western also give a discount if you're going to the Ice fest. Irregardless, we all have CAA (which is AAA, but canadianized, so I'll see if we can get some discounts with that). Are you planning on driving in or flying in? Does the fit have AWD? I think Flying and renting a car. That makes sense. Some of the rental agencies may not put snow tires on their cars, which could be useful. The road to hyalite is ordinarily maintained pretty well, but if it gets shittered by a storm, it'll take a day. I've rallied up there in 6-10 inches of new snow without too much issue in the taco. If you do fly, you can mail shit that you don't want to take on the plane but might need. (snowshoes, stoves, etc) My address is in your PM box. Thanks Doc. I've been pretty busy this weekend so I haven't looked at hotel rooms any more, and Nathan has been away in Wisconsin since last Wednesday so I haven't had a chance to talk stuff over with him. I should probably define "without too much issue" as involving shovels, pine boughs, a come-a-long and a towstrap. I'm only now realizing the scale of the area we're looking at. So, it's about an hour from town every day, which sucks a bit, but still less driving than our trip to Alberta last year. There's Hyalite, but what other areas should I look up? I need to order the book, can get it for $20 from Wolverine (Winter Dance). Shipping to Canada is ~$17 so we'll get it send to Nathan's Mom's and he can pick it up in November when he goes to visit his Dad again.
Further out, and more on the mountaineery side of things are the Beartooths and Beehive Basin/Big Sky. Some big classics in the beartooths including California Ice (3000 feet of WI 3/4).
Winter Dance covers them all.
I got a quote of $74/night for a room with one queen bed and a micro and fridge from Lewis and Clark, with no increase for weekends. They said it may go down a bit after they figure out more details with the ice fest folks. Their phone number is 406.586.3341 or 800.332.7666.

I will be hitting some tard carcks on the western slope this weekend, myself. Pretty psyched about it, even if it's only a day and a half. Not so psyched about the fact that my wife's boss, just five days before we were scheduled to fly to Red Rocks, decided that she can't go. I hate that dude with a passion. He's such a damn baby. This was the first climbing trip I've been able to schedule with my wife since she started in this lab, three years ago. She finally, last year, agreed that I could schedule a trip this fall. Thinking about just taking the time off anyway, and driving to the Creek and hoping to hook up with partners. We'll see... GO Stay outta teh Cr33k Green Plate! Yeah, well I'm not wanted in teh BET either, but when's that stopped me? I'll be in the Creek from this Thursday through next Weds. If anyone wants to meet up, get in touch before then. I've got no coverage there since I switched to a Sprint carrier. GO Quite frankly, none of you are. She has a point. When one fly is telling another to leave, we've got an infestation. There isn't enough room on this turd for all of you. Gunna have to fight to the death to see who dies. Ewe noes, if people wood just keep teh screen door closed...
it seems Camhat and teh greenie are teh biggest violators.

Not sure what teh plan is, as far as rowts. We're not doing lev 29 as a grupe of 3, since hamik bailed off to yosemite the moment it was open. so, maybe lev 29, maybe nightcrawler up on brownstone wall, maybe something else.

So, we has this local guy, probibly a decent climber, though I have never actually seen him climb, sure has put in a lot ov bolts though. Really nice guy Anyways, so teh dude disappears for 3 days and when he returns, he is awl beat up. Recently divorced and has teh girlfriend he lives with that is half his age... Teh gf, of course wunts to noes where he has been and why is he awl beat up. So this iz whut he cums up with.... 'He wus walking down teh street and sees a young girl crossing teh street and also sees a motorcycle bearing down on her. So he runs into teh street and manages to push teh girl clear ov teh oncumming motorcycle but in teh process is t-boned by teh motorcycle. He is hauled away from teh scene by ambulance and takin to a hospital. Why didn't you call me, I was pretty worried, she asks. Well, when I was hit I was knocked out and when I came to I had amnesia for teh past three days, so I didn't know who to have them call. Couldn't they have just looked in yore wallet to find owt who you were and then call me, she asks. Well, as it turns owt, when I wus hit by teh motorcycle while saving teh young girls life, my wallet was thrown clear ov teh accident and never recovered.' So, there wus several ov us standing around listening to this fantastic story. And at teh end ov the story, everywon wus silent with jaws dropped.... I looked around at everywon and strate fased said 'Well, it could have happened that way?' More stunned silence from teh crowd.... and Will speaks up, very seriously. Why couldn't they have just takin his fingerprints and found owt who he was that way? I looked over at Will, shook my hed and said... WHY? Why do ewe has to hate on Superheros? He saved teh young girls life! LOLz. That is amazing. There is only one guy in Sokat who would think that is a remotely believable tale. I still kan't believe his girlfriend bought teh story.
She is probably moar worried about the Do Dogs have brains debate.

Was headed to Vedauwoo yesterday, and not ten miles over the border what was light sprinkles turned into a raging blizzard. We turned around to climb elsewhere, only to see the entire front range was a rainy mess. So much for 20% chance of showers! So, I drove 4 hours RT to go to the gym in FoCo. Had a blast though, they had a bouldering comp on Saturday so all of the routes were still up.

Need to remedy this sometime! Gerk trip to Rifle next summer? I wood be in Ewe knoh it's still a big scene there rite?
And we can only hope we'd cause one uv our own!

This site sure has gone into the shitter. This is tru. Online forums need semi regular upgrades to keep up with spam technology. Apparently RC.com has been totally abandoned by it's overloads. edge posted up in feedback that it was sold again, and no one seems to be in charge. tons of spam this am Sort of, but not exactly... The front line of defense against spammers is the mods, and a number of them have walked away from their posts. It's hard to blame them, when the overlords have abandoned them, and it's only the overlords who have the power to stop the tide of the spambots. But the overlords don't really care a whit about this site. The current owners of the company are a megacorporation (Name Media) that owns and sells internet domains. Even if the ad revenue from this site dropped to zero, it probably wouldn't be a blip on their radar. They have owned the company for quite a while now, but they leased it for several years to D4D media, who ran it. D4D gave up this spring and did not renew their lease. So rc.com is a rudderless ship, and the few remaining mods (including Lena) are doing their best by sticking their hands in the water and paddling as hard as they can. GO i thought as much. i was messaging philbox a while back. i don't think he had been around in over a year...and when i was a modz, phil was the head modz. if i was still wearing the green coat, i wouldn't be that worked up about moding either The ones with a green coat don't mod either, there's three to four of us who de-spam and that's about it. I couldn't care if jt and curt flame noobs and shit now anyway, it'd create traffic, but they're likely telling awesome one-were stories on the taco now anyway. No need--all the n00bs have been culled. Curt That ^ wus funny taht doesn't mean he's wanted here. It's tru, Still, he has been knot wanted here fer a lot longer than those other flies. sides, I trying to get past old shitz when he wus a green shirt, jackboot nazi mod and pissed me oft. I've left Nazism behind. I'm not even a Republican anymore. Curt

Kind of a dive, but google maps says they have micros and fridges. It's also five blocks from our place and pretty close to downtown. Seems like you save $10/night compared to the western heritage. Sweet, but keep in mind that Western also give a discount if you're going to the Ice fest. Irregardless, we all have CAA (which is AAA, but canadianized, so I'll see if we can get some discounts with that). Are you planning on driving in or flying in? Does the fit have AWD? I think Flying and renting a car. That makes sense. Some of the rental agencies may not put snow tires on their cars, which could be useful. The road to hyalite is ordinarily maintained pretty well, but if it gets shittered by a storm, it'll take a day. I've rallied up there in 6-10 inches of new snow without too much issue in the taco. If you do fly, you can mail shit that you don't want to take on the plane but might need. (snowshoes, stoves, etc) My address is in your PM box. Thanks Doc. I've been pretty busy this weekend so I haven't looked at hotel rooms any more, and Nathan has been away in Wisconsin since last Wednesday so I haven't had a chance to talk stuff over with him. I should probably define "without too much issue" as involving shovels, pine boughs, a come-a-long and a towstrap. I'm only now realizing the scale of the area we're looking at. So, it's about an hour from town every day, which sucks a bit, but still less driving than our trip to Alberta last year. There's Hyalite, but what other areas should I look up? I need to order the book, can get it for $20 from Wolverine (Winter Dance). Shipping to Canada is ~$17 so we'll get it send to Nathan's Mom's and he can pick it up in November when he goes to visit his Dad again. Hyalite is the main area with a ton of ice and mixed climbing. Its really more like 45 minutes in good weather. The next closest area is Pine Creek, about an hour and a half to the parking lot, with a fair amount of ice and some mixed. Further out, and more on the mountaineery side of things are the Beartooths and Beehive Basin/Big Sky. Some big classics in the beartooths including California Ice (3000 feet of WI 3/4). Winter Dance covers them all. I got a quote of $74/night for a room with one queen bed and a micro and fridge from Lewis and Clark, with no increase for weekends. They said it may go down a bit after they figure out more details with the ice fest folks. Their phone number is 406.586.3341 or 800.332.7666.
What did you think of the hotel? Dive or okay?

I'm going climbing all weekend, so I naturally thought of you guys. Will try not to die. And proud we are of all of you. I myself am getting out for some tard carcks... first time since Memorial day. I will be hitting some tard carcks on the western slope this weekend, myself. Pretty psyched about it, even if it's only a day and a half. Not so psyched about the fact that my wife's boss, just five days before we were scheduled to fly to Red Rocks, decided that she can't go. I hate that dude with a passion. He's such a damn baby. This was the first climbing trip I've been able to schedule with my wife since she started in this lab, three years ago. She finally, last year, agreed that I could schedule a trip this fall. Thinking about just taking the time off anyway, and driving to the Creek and hoping to hook up with partners. We'll see... GO Stay outta teh Cr33k Green Plate! Yeah, well I'm not wanted in teh BET either, but when's that stopped me? I'll be in the Creek from this Thursday through next Weds. If anyone wants to meet up, get in touch before then. I've got no coverage there since I switched to a Sprint carrier. GO Quite frankly, none of you are. She has a point. When one fly is telling another to leave, we've got an infestation. There isn't enough room on this turd for all of you. Gunna have to fight to the death to see who dies. Ewe noes, if people wood just keep teh screen door closed... it seems Camhat and teh greenie are teh biggest violators.
Really? we hadn't noticed.
