climbing friday

Postby Fred » Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:43 pm

Hi all. I'm possibly looking for a climbing partner for Friday if anyone is interested. I just have to confirm with work that I can take the day off.

Send me a private message.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I'm going to start disliking you if you start this 'rock' climbing on 'school/work' days -
DANG!

You should be out today - it's supposed to be 6 degrees!

Have fun - wish the good weather would stay and we could get rid of the snow :D

Exactly!
Living 1 month ahead of nature makes you loose the best month of ice climbing (March) and the best month of rock climbing (November).

(I'm still searching for ice climbing partners this weekend in Parlee)

True - we're not in RR any more ... but I'm not sure about a month of ice - - hehe...

This weekend may be my last ice climbs for the 2009/2010 season... I need more of a rock fix...maybe not RR sandstone - but I can totally settle for CL granite :P hehe

Listen to Anders. We get 9 months of rock and 3 months of ice. I think we should take advantage of the ice while it is still here. The days have been warmer but the nights have been well below zero all week. Parlee will be fat and you won't have to wear 3 puffy jackets all day. :P

Agreed, been less covered... But still so much better than the mostly vertical km slog up a 70 degree avi prone chute slope just to get to the bottom of the flows in Smuggler's :wink:

Those cold belays have mashed up your squashes if you're still dreaming of ice.

Wow it looks like alpine climbing! Real snow/ice mix is great practice! No summer in Parlee yet...
