So I thought I'd resurrect this old thread.
Instead of posting a new one saying the exact same thing.
WELL WELL WELL LADIES AND GERMS! (hiya germ! :LOL:)
once again it's near the end of rock season and quickly approaching the coming ice season.
Time to get your picks sharpened up, rack and re-rack your screamers (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
btw that is the rule eh....everytime you clip a screamer you've got to let out a scream...then watch you partners face....it's priceless....:lol:
Start scoping out those wet streaks high up and start making bets as to which one is going to come in firs.
anyone else have any thoughts ont he impending ice season?

:roll: Oh come on now, I didn't start babbling about ice already? Actually I was hoping to check out some of the alpine ice around mid September but as this is my first September in the Rockies - I'm looking for suggestions.
I guess I'd better start talking to the contacts I have at BD about the screws I lost last winter :?
I've already been considering what new toys I'll get to play with this winter. I'll be posting some reviews after trying some of the new ice/alpine gear. I'm hoping to check out the new DMM Anarchist. Not heard of it yet? It's DMM's new leashless offering and it's very pretty :D

my favorite type of screwing happens on ice.
actually I was able to get 4 ice screws through on my carry-on from PDX-LAX last week but they found and took my toothpaste. screw them, they can keep my toothpaste. I'm ready for some ice baby!

:drama:
Rock is over! Already? I've been on once!
But I can't complain about the mountains.
Well, this year I am going to make a new car rule. Every time we cross the bridge every child in the Trooper must look at the North Side of the canyon and give me a report. Other things WILL be canceled when the time is right- and I WILL get on some ICE!

I was thinking of starting a new one or resurrecting this thread a couple of weeks ago! I didn't want to seem like I was jumping the gun though. :oops:
Brent_E and I have been out drytooling twice in the last week or so. :twisted:
The best part is THIS. :D

I did my last mixed route exactly 5 months ago. A week hasn't gone by since when I haven't had my tools out on plastic.
Who's ready? Anyone?

I just hope that the Columbia River george frezes up again this year. Last year it did, for 7 days, which dose not happen often in Oregon. My Ice Tools arived at my house one day after it all thawed. :cry: This year, I am so ready. I can't wait. When I get my tools out to play with them, it's hard to resist climbing the drywall in my apartment. :twisted:

HEY she is not cold! She's a very warm woman who if you happened to drop my name around her, seh'd probably find room somewhere in town for you and a posse for free.
Mind you that is unless all you's from the east get sick and tired of climbing all that big ass ice around TBay!
