Richard Simmons is your new "project", pope? Dude he's allllll yours

terray was in the resistance

winter ascent vs. winter conditions, well illustrated

what makes you think that i haven't read it

Yes they changed the name from Energy to Go to Fruitsource, upped the price by 20 cents and reduced the weight by 5g. Less for more! Freedom is slavery!

oh yeah so many of the french mountaineers in 1938 were collaborating with the nazis

tHe phrase "jerky fart" indicates that stinky flatulence is not confined purely to vegetarians.

soft iron pins are best for one placement and leaving fixed. i have a bunch for leavers.

what about bugs? can you eat mealworms? larvae? grubs?

meat is a renewable resource!

What are you trying to hide? Here it is: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/35638076 and another angle: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/37116958 and another one. http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/38017386 photoshopped.

oh yeah, "hey everybody's doing it so it must be ok!" nothing revisionist about noting he was willing to take a free ride from the nazis. hey maybe the bush administration can use dean potter and chris sharma to promote the superiority of the american democracy to iraqis!

that face does not exist.

To be a real vegan you have to say no to wool in favor of polypro, butter in favor of margarine, leather in favor of fabric... can't eat honey! Honey exploits bees! No silk....free the silkworms from patriarchy! Seriously their beliefs are funny but I admire the discipline it takes to live that kind of life. More horsecock for me

he'll be the first man to make centennial ascents of his own routes!

There is no "north face". There is a north ridge and a steep East face.

Hey FOA you seem to have a high level of technofetishism for a relatively low (2 years, if hiking Grouse Grind even counts) level of experience. Please do not confuse a high level of technical knowledge of product weights, specifications and materials for a knowledge of how products work in actual use. You will find people on c.com are a lot less tolerant of apparent ad copy cut and pasted from emails than people on clubtread are.

Let's not forget the Renton granite big wall!

I wouldn't mind some heavy PETAing with some of em

eh, Harrer was the tool. Heckmair just went along for the ride . And last I checked the climbing gear was theirs - until they entered the military. Occasional work as a ski instructor or mountain guide kept the wolf from the door until, in 1937, got an unusual break - a request to guide the actress-turned-film-maker Leni Riefenstahl, a favourite of Hitler's, on climbs in the Brenta Dolomites. Riefenstahl took a shine to Heckmair, with his chiselled features and daring reputation, and whisked her guide off to Nuremberg, where the pair stayed in the residence of the gauleiter (the infamous Julius Streicher), took tea with Hitler at the Deutscher Hof Hotel and then stood by his side on the balcony for a torch-light parade. For the first time in his life, Heckmair raised his hand in the Hitler salute. The next 12 months of Heckmair's life have been trawled over by researchers trying to establish to what extent the North Face climb may have been state-sponsored, but the picture remains fuzzy. Riefenstahl took him to stay with her in Berlin, where he says he eschewed politics and city life for training for the Eiger. He returned to Bavaria that winter and worked as a ski instructor. In the spring, he took up a post as a guide with the Ordensburg at Sonthofen in the Allgäu, little more than a grammar school in Heckmair's belated explanation, though Hitler envisaged these "Castles of the Order" turning out a generation that would "arise to cause the world to recoil in terror". Mountaineering was a means of toughening this future élite. Heckmair and Vörg, already working as a sports trainer at the Ordensburg, apparently declined direct funding for the Eiger but went off with the school's blessing and a stack of subsidised climbing gear. cj000001f

Getting the government to supply you with climbing gear Being used as a propaganda tool by the Nazis So it all balances out. Oh wait, isn't Tommy Caldwell climbing to promote American freedom? The only US rock superstar to have killed an Islamic terrorist in single combat
