I love that hammock. 5$$ what a deal!

There was this other time, when I went to a concert in Toronto on a party bus. Won't say what was ingested while on the way there, but it was on paper. Went to the concert, met some guys, missed the party bus back and ended up with these guys at a party in Toronto. Was there for 2 days before I was so burned out I needed to come home.
This was in the days before cell phones (yes a loong time ago) and my friends who got back on the party bus had no idea where I got to. Thank god they didn't report me missing!
Your kids PMed!!!


What about the time you were smoking weed at that concert and Bruce got mad at you?

How do you know about that?

No, you said on the deck.

Hmmm. Maybe I should suggest that to your Brent.

Will you at least use an ice tool and work on your swing?


What about the side of the house. Ice would bond to the brick really nice.

Sure I can do that. And NO not the side of the house either. Gas vents are on the side, you want him to blow us up?
You have a big house. There can't be gas vents everywhere.

GG, your showers are superb I assume?

No shower curtain yet. Mad

But the shower stall does look superb! Smile Maybe I should snap some photos.
All you need is a cheap plastic sheet.
We have a shower curtain. We needed to decide on a curtain rod. Now I need to get new ends for the rod we have and carefully drill holes through the tile to hang it up.
I worked a summer as a tiler for a construction firm.
Tile work sucks.
The part I hated most was sealing the grout.
I was sealing it today. The roller thing that came with the sealer just leaked all over so I ended up using a small paintbrush. It took forever!
real pain wasn't it!
I should ahve just taped a long stick to the brush, gabbed a couple beers and just laid in the tub while doing it. It would have been pretty sloppy though. I had to keep wiping up the dribbles as it was .
Bathrooms never seem to have enough ventilation so I always got one mean mother of a headache from the fumes.

Yes, I will bring the videos. What about 6:30 or 7. or Friday?

6 or 6:30 should be fine. It is pretty dark at 5:30 and the parking area is supposed to be closed at dark.

No fumes for me. The stuff I used didn't smell bad at all. We have a pretty good fan in there now too, and a window.

Probably not. I think the USD is just barely worth more than the CND right now.


Not a bad price either way for a hammock.

It wouldn't be painful. Unless you get sick first. But that would be because you aren't getting enough CO quick enough.

It was cold out at the Bridge today. Hopefully we will have some climbable ice soon.
by now there is ice formed up at the PA spots.

I am surprised you don't have something somewhere in the mountains
Mountains?

Maybe.

What are the closest mountains to you? (east coast USA hills don't count)
then that would be pretty far. What solid sandstone is close to you (west coast choss doesn't count)?

define "west coast choss"? there's sandstone in Santa Barbara, a couple hours away, I've heard it's decent. Tick Rock is sandstone (15 minutes from my apt), though it probably qualifies as "west coast choss". Red Rocks, stuff in Arizona, etc.

I was GU. I thought he was trying to imply there were no mountains on all of the east coast.

the Whites might count. but keep in mind, chossy can't go to the US right now.

It just got cold here the other day. We swung by the place close to home and it was still a long way from having anything solid enough to get on. All the ice there is hanging so it needs some time to get big enough that you don't knock it all down while trying to climb it.

The 403 probably has some stuff, but not enough to drive all the way out there.

Ice can form quick if the rock is already frozen but it has been so warm the ground had probably lost a lot of its frost. I doubt PA has much in the way of climbable ice yet.
No mountains around you? That explains your recent road trip.

It has been "very" cold here for around 5 days. I think it is expected to stay cold through the rest of this week. If there isn't ice yet, it should be close to forming.
Well yeah we have mountains. Just right out the back door of our cabin. As soon as I'm done chopping wood today I'll try and take some pictures. I'll see If I can get a picture of an igloo too.
Sly

a while back you were telling okel to check the gullies off of a road for ice. Gullies cannot happen without some kind of incline. I guess you are saying there isn't enough incline, then?

a 50 ft. road cut is not a mountain, retard.

yea, I know rock is what most people go for, but I know of at least one or two places that SHOULD form up at the NRG. Sure, it won't be as good as the dacs, but it seems like there should be some ice somewhere in that state this weekend.
It would be cool for the novelty. That would be a bit far to drive for us for something as fickle WV ice though.

What makes you think it would form? Ice formation is weird. A lot of places you think it would won't. Water seeping out of the rock then flowing down the face before dripping off into space is good. The flow has to be right to. To heavy and it needs to get super cold to start the formation. To light and it will lock up in the rock.

Since I knew I was not expecting to come back, I didn't take strict notes, but my memory is:

The first place was slightly sunny and straight vertical to slabby, but the whole wall had water leaking down the side at varying rates. So, as long as the sun doesn't kill it, one of the areas probably formed at least one climb. On nice long cold spells I could have believed the whole wall would freeze. No place on the wall had waterfall type of flow.

The second place was shaded and fully overhanging. It had less water overall, but it was pretty constant too. Something tells me it would have difficulty forming because you would have to wait until it touched down to do anything. (I think there were climbs on the overhung part. So, mixed climbing is probably a no-go.)

I think one was at Kaymoor and the other at Endless. I forget though.

Then there are other places like the down climb ladder of summersville to orange oswald and Kaymoor where there are waterfalls that may form a route on the sides. If the waterfall at orange oswald is the only thing forming up it might not be worth the hike though. I remember it being pretty short for a climb. It would be more like ice bouldering.

I don't know. I have a very hard time believing that in all of the NRG something doesn't form up. Perhaps it would turn out to be shit since it would be easy to access.

I don't think it would be worthwhile for you at all. I was thinking for wanderlust. It seems like you could be at better ice climbing in less time if you were coming from Canada.

It's cold today in DC. You guys should have ice soon, methinks.
I'm afraid I know all to well.

On top of a British flag its Queen this and Queen that. Someday, hopefully they change it by then, I'll have to swear allegiance to the Queen when I become a Canadian Citizen.


It just got cold here on Friday. There should be something this weekend. I'm hoping that we can hit our close to home spot Wed. or Thurs. I don't know if the ice will be ready yet there though. I've seen the one route form up in two days, but the rock was already pretty frozen and it got very cold. That route takes the least amount of ice to climb the route. All the others it needs to be big enough to climb up and have it not fall down. It would suck to knock down a well forming drip making have to start over. Or have it fall on us.
it will be up to 8 or 9 days of cold by this weekend, but only 2-3 days were below 20.

Snow is due Tuesday and Thursday. We should be able to get out to xc skiing.
