Dru

actually i have a salewa brand nut tool that also has a buolt in beer opener.

still useful for aid climbing but i will trade you two yellow tcu for two z6's!

D00d i just had a flashback to like Land of the Lost or Land That Time Forgot or something where they always manage to kill a dinosaur by building a giant slingshot out of two springy trees

yeah I have two yellow TCUs and since i got the Z6 i hardly place either one anymore

if u climb fast in the mts u dont have to waitalot

dude you can open a beer with an oval - pfft why do you need a nut tool and you need the z5 and z6 zero cam then you will not need the metolius 1 and 2

brain spot up down

braised hottentot kartoffel drowned

so this guy name of tyler who lives in hope got me the hook up on some granite cragging out that a way to complement the bouldering.... met up at the coffee shop after work and headed out to the rawk climbed a nice 5.6 pitch as a warm up (sweet crack with the minimalest cleaning job possible) then we liunked up this route he had been cleaning all summer p1 5.9 up a laser cut crack. on granite? wtf laser cut granite? yes this climb is 10 feet right of a huge arete and as near as i can tell the whole block from the crack to the arete is detached and expanding...climb this one quick cause its a finger crack now, might be an ow in 10 years then gone in 20 if the arete falls off! p2 my lead was lose blocks, trees, moss clods and dirt because the direct link up flaring ow is not yet scrubbed hike up to p3 tyler walks into a wasp nest at least 40 mad wasps on a ledge with no escape routes..time for ninja style kung fu to chopstick them out of the air!! p3 a short sweet 5.8 flake then a tree swim to an anchor tyler sets off the last pitch as the sun goes down, 2 falls, makes it up... i follow, sketch, grab draw.. this pitch is at least 5.9+ dirt rating although it has weird moves like a bolted chimney to a layback roof to a thin crack and bolted slab, again the minimal scrub preserves adventure.... its not every day you get to do a 4p fa after work thanks tyler!! chestbeating over... will post topo and directions once tyler cleans things up some more and nabs the rest of his projects in a few weeks time.

having walked around on avalanche debris in my caulk boots im not all that anxious to switch to your system.

those are bouldering shorts silly!

according to rec.climbing that photo is scanned from "Men's Health" magazine. I suppose the picture is there to improve our circulation and muscle tone?

but i would think a spiky with better spikes would be a better system than the double sole -platform shoe you have. lighter and better hiking, you just take the spikes off and roll them up.

WTF is up with that shoelace

that link is dead

High taxes yes, and high beer prices. Unemployment (it says here) is lower than the rest of Europe. Obviously the "other problems" are less severe there than in Canada (4th worldwide) or the US (8th)

If we are talking "historically" the Vikings were amongst the most violent and martial of cultures and look at them now - bunch of socialists with highest quality of life in the world (according to UN report released today)
