Hey Brent, I just saw you commenting on the test shoes that you got from FM Tech. Does this mean you'll actually be climbing to test them?
If you have a pair of climbing shoes to test, but don't actually do any climbing, you might be a Brent_E.

they are REALLT aggressive, though.

aggressive? Hell, they're freak'n banana's!
So you're actually saying that you'll go out climbing? Are you commiting to that? Won't that eat into your fabricating and fishing time?

I will climb. Sadly it will have to be at the gym during the week.
I don't know what's happening this weekend, or next weekend, but I will hopefully get out then, either with nate or not.

Okay, they seem like the shoes will be wasted indoors, but I do need a gym partner for when I can finally wear a harness again. Sadly I don't think I'll be leading in the gym for the first little bit, and it'll take me a little while to get some endurance again, but I could make a good belayer!

You will likely just have to be paced on getting back to your level of before. I don't think it will take you that long once you get so you can climb regularly. But they are wasted climbing routes in the gym, for sure. But they aren't route shoes. I think they will shine in the little bouldering cave there.
Maybe a trip to the Red River Gorge is in order. What are you doing at Easter this year? :mrgreen:
Actually, I hate to break it to you, but they may not be overly impressive shoes bouldering in the glen either. There are some roofs, but I think that most of the problems there are very little over hung. Maybe a trip down to Hueco?

You might be a brent_e if you alter climbing gear that you'll never use.
Sweet handles, BTW.

In reply to: In reply to: In reply to: Is that Canadian for What? ....that's Canadian for everything.... :lol: Not all Canadians say eh.
Take off, eh! You hoser! you didn't even use "eh" right in your comment
In reply to: I'm just a Hoser of an America and not all Canadians say that eh thing. What's up with that anyways?
Now if choss had been born on the right side of the border he could have writen this:
In reply to: I'm just a mere hoser, eh?! And you know, not all Canadians say eh.... take off, eh!

If you guys come to Hueco, please include me in your reservation request. That is an easy drive for me. Much closer than the creek or ice. :D

In reply to: I hit the ice in 16 days. :D
I hope you don't freeze your toes!
All I can think about is how bundled up you are going to be when it is really cold. You likely won't be able to see your feet! :lol:

I grew up in the wilds of Idaho and Montana. I do much better in the cold than the desert heat. Besides, it can not be any colder in Colorado than some of those Alberta winter backcountry snowshoeing trips I used to take.

Well, my tools are on back order. And judging by how hard it is to find someone to borrow tools from here, there must not be very many salty climbers.

it's ok
not enough climbing. lot's of giggling.
some mild attractiveness.

You must have missed my post about having two setts of tools! You just have to Travel to borrow them for while you're here. UNless you want the whole of RC.com to know you climb even less ice than Brent :shock: :twisted:

Sweet... do you have two sets of big fucking boots as well? I didn't take much heed of your foot size when we had wings... I fortunately wouldn't even have to travel far to hook up with your tools. Though Grant has extras as well.
