short answer NO knots are weaker than sewn-slings the knot is bulky and gets in the way tied webbing is only for rap slings IMHO.

im doing a pint curl right now forearm training

Are there even really 90 billion bees in the whole of France?? http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,1158826,00.html 90- billon dead over 10 years = 9 billion per year. 9 billion dead per year = 9 million hives with 1 thousand bees per hive, or 900, 000 hives with 10, 000 bees per. so if the pop of FRance is 90 million people, and one in a thousand raises bees, that would be 90,000 hives at 100, 000 bees per hive seems like an overstatement to me

i have decided to get stronger on the rock instead of in the gym.

what, you mean it ISNT, forrest?

I copied this off the 8a.nu forum also check out this ukclimbing.com post http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=73945 seems like Scottish winter is so crap this yr they have all been going climbing in Norway instead.

Here is a 1980's joke.... What is the only Union bigger than the Teamsters' Union? The Soviet Union! How many people even know what a Teamster is anyways? As i understand it the word originally referred to like a mule driver or something... the flunkies who cared for the animals on pack trains. Its kinda interesting that the name has thrived long after the original profession has become archaic.

In the Smoke Bluffs just below the crag "Lumberland" is this free standing boulder with a mostly flat landing underneath. After waiting patiently for YEARS for some boulderers to discover it and scrub it I decided to do it myself. JordoP helped out. There is a vertical diamond shaped south face and a slab west face. Problems are: Norwegian Wood V1. Right hand arete of diamond shaped face from standing start or sit start (same grade both ways). Morning Wood V2. Layback up left arete of diamond shaped face staying on the south (right) side of arete. Wood Eye V1. Slab climb on left side of Morning Wood Arete. Wooden Ewe V2. Left hand edge of the slab that Wood Eye is the right edge of. Good place to go bouldering with one mat and no spotters due to nice landings. There is potential hard face climbing problem directly up south face between NW and MW.

i don't have Hawks and Doves yet. somebody told me they were gonna burn me a copy and im still waiting

Danger bird, he flies alone And he rides the wind back to his home Although his wings have turned to stone And we used to be so calm Now I think about you all day long 'Cause you've been with another man Here you are and here I am. That's the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum with his friends. The jailbird takes the raps And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast. And I know we should be free But freedom's just a prison to me 'Cause I lied to keep it kind When I left you far behind. With the rain pounding on his back he recalls the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum with his friends. And like those memories the rain keeps pounding down, down, down. And though these wings have turned to stone I can fly fly fly away. Watch me fly above the city Like a shadow on the sky. Fly, fly, fly.

He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun. On the shore lay montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered ’round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But they built up with their bare hands What we still can’t do today. And I know she’s living there And she loves me to this day I still can’t remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, cortez What a killer.

chuck got 1...of about 10 and i got da pagetop in the free world which reminds me what about Rockin In The Free World My My Hey Hey or even Smoke on the Water?

is a drumb what a dumb drummer plays on? iggy pop "repo man" kicks ass on any of the tunes so far listed i found this mangling of the lyrics online. spot the errors I was riding on a concrete slab, Down a river of useless flab It was such a beautiful day I heard a witchdoctor say, "I'll turn you into a toadstool" I'm looking for the joke with a microscope My muscle's twitching on your words If you're on the streets you lose your nerves Divinity throws you a curve Sticks you and then you go beserk Abhoaring no inspiration. I'm looking for the joke with a microscope Page out of a comic book A chicken hanging on a hook A river and a babbling brook A sermon and a teenage hook Shaking my hand at your fake face A suicide a certain look A microphone a loose guitar People feeling near and far Stupidity a mental scar Put cruel into cruelty As life goes by you in a blurr An achoholic has gone far Everything just goes to far I was pissing on the desert sands, When the desert whispered to me, "Damn! Isn't this a shame? Things will never be the same..." I run this gas and oasis Now I'm looking for the joke with a microscope I was a teenage dinosaur, stoned and obsolete I didn't get fucked and I didn't get kissed I got so fucking dense Using my head for an ashtray Now I'll tell you who I am I'm the Repo-Man And I'm looking for the joke Looking for the joke I'm looking for the joke with a microscope

i have owned 2 aliens in my life, both were booty and were beat up pieces of shit when i got them strangely enough both were later fixed by partners. one walked up under a flake and the other one crawled deep into a crack. like i said booty come booty go. but i was not impressed. i have used other partners aliens and not liked them. on the other hand i bought the 5 and 6 zerocam, used them one day and liked them enough to run out and get the 3 and 4. i have done a hanging belay on 5.10 alpine rock on just the 4 and 5 plus an RP. i dont like those soft cams on the aliens. seems like it is more useful for sandstone than granite and i climb sandstone like once a year. also dont like the trigger on the aliens. it is the same low grade trigger as the splitter gear cams. in short aliens suck. all you aliens rock guys, have never used zeros. once you have you'll switch.

who needs tattoos when you have a window in your arm?

i hate aliens except for the largest sizes (like orange) alien cons: cams are made of too soft aluminum and deform easily shaft is too flexible but doesnt flex to head giving floppy feel recessed springs in head pick up grit and dirt and become hard to clean easiest cam to get stuck i have ever tried. do they even have cam stops? i can't remember. booty come, booty go. WC Zeros have none of these problems and rock my dome. I wish they made a #7 and a #8 Zero though. I suppose you can use the regular friends in those sizes but I think the zero would be lighter and more flexible.

that extra millimeter makes such a difference
