More Pics of the New DMM Cams. DMM is claiming they will be out in Feb.
On another note, lets try for a really good show at the pub tonight.

Hey guys,
Sorry I missed you guys last night. I was exhausted yesterday from the night before, we had company until late so I came home from work yesterday had my supper and crashed.
Were you guys planning anything for this weekend? Will it be too hot to climb you think?
Let me know!
Hanife

Nice stuff, any idea on pricing for those cams?
BTW. we are still alive but got busy I with my re certification as it was due this week and Nathan with ever broken 1Ton.
Brenden we got you some tea straight from Toronto, and Kev we got you Salami I hope you'll like it as it is whole shit load of meat actually Nathan got it from German store while I was doing my hair, but it reads Hungarian.
Come and get it, tomorrow night or we be at Nick's next week.

Those DMM's sure look a lot like the BD's, hopefully the price will be the major difference!
Bummed that I missed the post on the Airshow, would have love to go to that, Airshows rock!
Right on Anna, as long as it's Hungarian Salami, I'm sure it's awesome. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to your place I've been working in Sundre and getting home at 2-3:00 in the morning. But get Nathan to give me a call, and I'll see if I can give him a hand with his "ever broken 1Ton".
Hanife, we've been climbing in the shade 
but give me call, we'll see what's going on, I know Dave want's to get out too. Brenden and I had Saturday put aside to finish of some stuff on a few routes we've been working on, but I doubt, too many people want to join in on this, packing mountains of gear, drill's batteries, etc. only to spend the majority of the time standing around getting a sore neck watching someone swearing at broken bits, dead batteries, etc.

It's not that bad... my language that is.... But if one more @#$*(% ^%^$%$# 9&^%$ 4$%^$#^ ( 90^&*(67^ $#%#^ bit ^&*(^ breaks on &*^$%^ Saturday I'm going to ^&%*&%* *%*^% *%&^&%^ snap.
Uhhh, forget what I said.
As for the DMM cams, they are supposed to be priced in the $60 to $80 range. Yes they are very much like the BD's, but they feature a different cable loop construction, smoother action (according tosomeone who fondled them at the OR show), lighter, and FORGED cam lobes.

Hey guys,
I think I'll skip out for this weekend, I believe it's going to be hot, I really would hate to climb and sweat buckets just from the heat alone...I really don't like the heat that much at all actually.
Have fun this Saturday finishing off those routes, climbing, swearing and all that! 
I'll catch you guys later
Hanife

The heat's not that bad at McGillivray. The cliff goes into the shade early in the day and bacause of the lake there is a refreshing breaze on even the calmest of days that takes the edge off the heat.

I hear ya Dave, for those of us w/o real jobs, when the works there. you gotta take it.
I have no idea what I'm doing next week yet, other then I have a small job that I'm not sure when or exactly how long it's going to take, hoping it's only a day or two, then I will be available to go climbing the rest of the week.
We've missed out on a lot of climbing days this spring/summer due to the... hrmmm.... how does one describe our weather,.. politely, I guess you'd call it "inclement", (although I've been calling it a lot of other things). My point being, that I would like to get out as much as possible before the snow flies again.!

So far, this has been the wettest July in Calgary's recorded history, and I'm too picky? OK then..

Haven't noticed. Still have been managing to get in 4+ days per week as long as you don't mind leaving the crag when it's raining

Actually I do mind, not only having to leave because the regular afternoon rain has arrived, but more so, it's the after effects of a month of these daily/nightly rain showers. It's not so much the subsequent waterfalls they produce, those can usually be avoided. It's the primordial-ooze-like-slime seeping out of the cracks which has the coefficient friction of silicone, that I mind.
Just ask Brenden.. our rope sounds something like this lately; "Ready to Slime", "Slime Away!""Sliming".

No, you're wrong.. this is *THE PLACE*, either here or Nicks.
I never saw your post till now, but I doubt too many people went anywhere today, it just looked like you were going to get wet no matter where a person went. We did manage to get out yesterday and played around a bit.. sort of a "Climbers in the Mist" kinda thing.
And then of course the rain came as usual..

Obviously you've never had the pleasure of living on the Coast, because when the rains come.. they stick around for about 8-months. Even the locals ( who tend to lie about the amount of rain) wouldn't go as far to refer to the West Coast as *dry*. lovesclimbing wrote: Ur getting to picky these days with the weather I think its been just fine if not a bit too hot Ya , I guess you're right.. it's been just lovely climbing weather.
