testing 1, 2, 3 .... I think my dumb ass figured it out

Why can my small brain not discover how to "reply with quote"??? ditto, help us dumb brothers on this one ... how do you get the "In reply to box" thing ????? So leaders, get a damn screw in to protect the belay on multipitch ice routes. or anything ... pins, chocks, cam ... I have alway been a beliver in protecting the belay .... just about lost my ass on the NR of Stuart once, never again ... given three anchor points for a belay I would gladly give up one of them to protect the leader and belay off two oh, shit, hey ... what does this "quote" button in the instant UBB Code commands do? ... if that is what I have been looking for I really feel stupid!!!

if you really want something and know a good machinist or have access to a milling center yourself why not make your own .. shit maybe you could even sell them

In response to mtnnut ... If it costs $30, I would rather they tear down the outhouses and carry my own crap out. I agree, one of my biggest issues with this whole thing ... works just fine in the Tetons

nice fuckin' picture!!!!!

shit I didn't know I could climb .11c ..... I must not be as much of a gumby as I think I am

maybe I am missing something here ..... sounds like the belay was not protected

fyi ... you might have seen these already .... a set of BDBP's http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1977595526&category=1299 the description is wrong, the picks shown are not the "Alaska"

Trango "Madame Hook" ... and hey Wolfgang that is one ugly picture of the fat dude on the computer http://www.trango.com/showitem.cfm?catnum=27&itemnum=182

I have wondered if the trigger finger gizmo Grivel uses on the "Top Machine" and now the "Top Wing" would fit on other shafts. The thought of drilling holes into to my tools doesn't sound very appealing, but maybe that just the "M.E." in me, besides I have old BDBP's and I really don't think it would work with the "hourglass" profile of the shaft.

shit $39 bones ...I might just get one for a spare

I've had one of the Lowe Adrenaline Jackets for a couple of years now, baggey in the mid section and does not breath that well. If I was to do it again I would get either the Moutain Hardwear Epic Parka or Epic Jacket

my five year old son is really into Lego's Bionicles and the Transformers Armada units ... don't forget Heman and Skeletor are making a comeback have fun ....

thinking about making the drive north to see Mike's slide show and just might need to go drink beer afterwards Anyone from cc.com plan on attending?

Any of you folk from puget sound plan on attending? I am thinking about making the drive north for the show and just might need to go drink some beer afterwards. Not that I wish to support Vanity Fair but I would like to see Mike's slide show.

another question .. please excuse my ignorance but ... how do you post a reply and get the text box like gizmo with the "In reply to" to work? Does that have something to do with the "flat" or "threaded" display options?

anyway to bring back the "quotes" option?

glen, A couple thoughts ..... I would really think about the tools you have seen/used and what you think will work best for you and then deal with the price issue. Try your buddies tools and/or some shops have demo units.... What good is a "cheap tool" it you think it sucks and it spends all it's time in the closet. I would also keep in mind alot of "cheap" tools are either older used models or units being discontinued by the mfg ... I am talking spare parts here .... one of the main reasons I sold an old Lowe Hummingbird was because I could no longer buy picks for it. now as for the "cheap" part of the deal if you just want some entry level tools consider looking at something like the Omega Bulldogs. For $150 a pair brand new (w/leashes) not a bad deal. for something more technical I have seen BD Rage factory blems go for around $300 a pair sans leash and I think TG posted a thread on Grivel Lite Machines going cheap. another thought .... if you know what you are looking for, post a request with your fellow cc.com'ers. I did so a ended up with exactly what I was looking for. Keep watching the yard sale ... Scot'teryx sold a BDBP and a X15 ... real cheap here not too long ago wes

ditto on the ID Dolomiti ..... you can mail order them direct from ID

I have made them with red duct tape for years and you can now get red/white (and other choices) reflective tape from supply houses that specialize in industrial safty gear ....... work like a champ wes

Anyone have any good photos of the West Ridge that they would share?

Plus isn't it expensive to put those holds through the dishwasher before the chalk has even filled in the texture yet? DFA your statement above confirms that you were indeed NOT in attendance last night. This subject was covered by the dude that showed up with the "fatty" [ 11-22-2002, 11:10 AM: Message edited by: wdietsch ]
