I think taking some Old Crow with you would be the way to go on a wall. You don't have to take alot, and it goes good with most food you'll be cooking on the wall. Plus, it doesn't matter what temp. it is.

Anything I can get in the pounder cans (16oz), Bud, King Cobra, Olde E. Bud quenches thirst better than Gatoraide in my book, and the other two pack a good punch for the weight and price. Also for a good time, nothing beats being white trash... having a race against your partner shotgunning a warm cheap beer on your ledges. Cheers

Do you people actually take these beers up on walls? I thaught this thread was about favorite beers on walls, not at "the crag". Because if it's at the crag I'll take a couple 22oz of buds instead. Cheers

I'm planning my first trip to the Valley this summer and the only logistics I haven't planned are the beverages. Can anyone hook a young aid gumby with some Old E....er A&W?

waltereo, I can still belay effectively after a beer or two. What exactly are you worried about? Going for the BIG BIFF and hitting an innocent byclimber. Years ago I went to do a route in Zion in late summer. Prodigal Sun is so named because it faces NE, and by then it mercifully goes into the shade fairly early. I knew it would be pretty hot anyway so I used one of my favorite tricks. We weren't hauling. Its a fast climb. So when I packed my daypack I took a can of beer (Tecate if you must ask) and paired it with an asceptic juice container (one of those little cartons) that I had frozen solid, and wrapped them together carefully inside my rain pullover. We topped out at the hottest time of the day. As my partner was coiling I popped the top on the still ice cold beer. He screwed up his face and said,"How can you drink warm beer?" I said,"Its an acquired taste." When I quickly had drunk the better half I handed it to him and the amazed look on his face was priceless. I still had the juice for the descent. Something tells me that there are some light bulbs going on above the heads of some beer drinkers... Of course warm beer is actually preferable to some. My mother and her father were Dutch. He was probably where I got the t-type genes. I have an old photo of him roping up for a glacier on a trip to the Alps in 1928. He was sort of a surrogate father since my dad was often on tour, and we were very close until his death in '73. He would tell me of being a boy in Amsterdam and being regularly sent by his father to get some beer. He would take a dedicated pail down the street and return home placing the pail on top of the radiator as per instructions. Beer is interesting stuff. Its creation and the creation of the pyramids are related. But that's another story and my typing/trigger finger is tired.

Hmmm.... I'll take Cobra to Old E but both are acceptable. I prefer warm (or even hot) beer/malt liquer. The Sapporo cans are a great idea! They don't actually sell those in Japan. It must be designed for oversea export. It seems to me that beer is a wall climber's best friend and worst enemy... Cheers, john

I love vermont. the local brew is Long Trail. For the winter months there is one called Hibernator, brewed with honey. in the summer time black berry wheat is best, when the black berrys are fresh. I just found a new brew called rock art. on the lable is Kokopeti (i have no idea how to spell), the guy dancing with the flute. really good beer too. and of course guiness, the beer that drinks like a meal.

These guys from Humboldt hauled a keg of Jamaica Red to the top of Intersection Rock for new years a while ago. Needless to say I spent a cold night curled up on a pile of ropes and gear.

I understand that the topic at hand is favorite wall beer, but I must throw out another favorite, cigarettes and a little jim beam fifth to round off a hard night. They make great water bottles too.

I think I just came up with a million dollar invention. Are ya ready? A beer helmet that meets climbing durability standards. Not only can you drink beer hands free WHILE climbing, you can also tell all those people bitching to you about not being safe to shut the f*ck up and put a helmet on. $$$$$

who says it has to be climbing certified...my buddy in his trad helmet: yeah, he should probably mod it with a nice chin strap so he doesn't lose his precious cargo, but it's ok for seconding http://img.photobucket.com/...t/IMG_2531_thumb.jpg

:D Mostly Fat Tire, however Alaskan Amber or anything dark - yeah, baby!!! Rogue beer is always a nice change too. Basically, after climbing, anything cold hits the spot!!! Cheers. Jules

I have to say, I love my J. W. Dundee Honey Brown. There's nothing better than getting back to my campsite after a hot day of climbing and pulling one out of the river. Mmmm it's making me thirsty just thinking about it.

Geeeez, what is with the yuppies trying to pawn off micro-brew as something you are going to drag up a wall! By the way, I just found something out. Those Sapporo steel cans (black or regular) that are very choice for walling, are NOT imported from Japan. It is made under license by Anheiser-bush... Ah well, here you can get them from vending machines... Cheers, john
