I once drove 1200 km to climb and when we got to the camp spot I realized I'd forgotten to pack the rope. The funny thing was that we'd stopped at this small store that sells a bit of climbing gear, about 60 miles away, and they had one rope for sale ... for 320 bucks! I remember saying to Gaby at the time: "What idiot is gonna spend 320 bucks for that rope?" Guess who the idiot was.
Been bouldering 3 out of the 4 last days (more apt for the sesh thread, I guess). This Easter is a 5-day weekend in Argentina: Thursday and Friday for Easter and Monday is a memorial day for soldiers killed when they invaded the Falkland Islands (aka Malvinas). So we'll climb tomorrow (outside if it doesn't rain) and Monday (the forecast looks better).
Heal up, tradmanclimbs!

drove over to frankenstine to climb ice. only had one Mtn boot. drove into N. Conway and bought a used pair of Nepal Extreems for $375.00 expensive trip up Dracula.. Went ice climbing with Isa once and forgot the ropes. talked her into soloing. at first she was pretty hesitant but once we got a nice 45m grade 3 under our belts she got all excited and I ended up having to talk her back into reality. No you are Not going to solo that! why not? because its Not a grade 3 and it too damn hard and scary!

Climbed whorehouse hose yesterday but our spring break was a bit of a bust. I think I caught tradmans flu. Was sick with an upset stomach, cough, sneezing, sniffles, fever etc for most of the trip. Got a little climbing at the lake city ice park and a couple of routes in escalante. We also got in ancient art but camping in the creek was a shitshow especially since I forgot the poles to the tent. It’s all good but I had hopes to do so much more. Had to pay for a room in grand junction for a day to recover. Went to try to camp at Turkey Rocks last night but there was 6” of sloppy snow everywhere so we just drove home. You win some and you lose some.
Trad you heal up fast. Fall through a roof one day ice climbthe next.

Hope you are feeling better Mike.! My hip is very tender but this thing is mellow and quite close to the road. the driving probably did more damage to the hip than the climbing. had to find a bit of the tail end of winter though. house bound doesn't work for me. It was cold and windy with fresh blowing snow and ran into some friends. Awesome day :)

Trad, on your visits to the Notch, have you done the slog up Webster for Central Couloir and Green Chasm?
More of an aerobic day in some conditions but can be challenging ice and some mixed options if you're willing to patch things together a bit.

Back to parasol gully. The only place that I could think of with ice close enough to the road for my bum hip. Took the old Chiounard 60cm for a walk. she did pretty well. Amazeing reach and sticks. leash is a pain and I do miss the comphy grip. also the X dream is a wee bit more precise for the tricky stuff.
