    The Spawn of Satan

    So far I have discovered that infected devils club spines caused blood poisoning (septicemia) which killed at least one early PNW mountaineer. I am reading the Henry Custer adventures now looking for more early reports of this monstrous plant. My own encounters recently prompted me to come up with spine removal methods. #1 is - wait a few weeks until it gets infected. Squeeze hard and watch the spine pop out on a jet of pus. This is the "traditional" method but may lead to aforementioned septicemia. #2 my more recent method is to take a couple of stiff drinks of rum as a painkiller and then go to work with a sharp sterlized needle. After making an incision in the skin to expose the head of the spine, squeezing and tweezers should suffice to extract it #3 if you have a large sized veterinary or scientific syringe, take the needle out. Now put the tip of the syringe, compressed, over the spine entry point. Seal your skin to the tip with pressure, and pull back the syringe plunger, creating a vaccuum which is very effective at extracting the spine. Downside of this method is that it creates a hickey over the wound site if used repeatedly. Also you dont get to drink the rum like you do if using needle extraction technique #2. However it is much faster and almost painless.

  10. What is the worst thing you ever rappelled off of? The impetus behind this thread was reading the Warning thread in North Cascades. My own: broken off plate of desert varnish lodged in wide crack and slung - Red Rocks jammed knot on a bleached white sling - Red Rocks bush that started ripping roots while I was half way down - Old Settler 6' diameter slush bollard - Shuksan two half driven compression bolts - Fraser Valley slung boulder that rocked back and forth - N Face of Silvertip lets hear some more. truth only. no made up "I rapped off a slung 3 lb yam" stories!
  11. free the snaffles! at my parents summer place the baby ducks would always be paddling around behind mama duck. at one point every summer the number of babies would drop from 5 or 6 to 1. the rest would have become mink dinner.
  12. its a crack climb but sometimes you dont get good rests for gear but give'r to the next stance
  13. i am only posting when sending 30 foot long M9's with no ice. i got a spray-enabled Blackberry in my helmet.
  14. news story Let's designate wilderness areas to protect this critically endangered species!
  15. three years of time wasting addiction and sometimes good beta
  16. are spurs gonna be much use for a vertical face anyhow????? the best use is for heel hooking your tool for a hands off rest on a roof dont forget to hook your leashless tools together by the handle and sit on the pick for the "no hands dildo rest" as invented by Dave Dornian
  17. i don't see any bolts YET
  18. is that a ski basket he has there...or a branding iron

    Beta Leakage

    trask suffered some beta leakage when he ate a block of olestra...
  21. mixed climbing is not stupid and dumb, but that a 30' route with no ice is proclaimed as the "hardest mixed route in the state" is stupid and dumb. about like calling a 1 pitch climb on some high crag the "hardest alpine route in the Cascades"
  22. 1) Cause you are bankrupting yourself with a much higher per capita total expenditure on health care, less efficiently spent, hence more money for doctors and less for patients. You are buying them with higher wages and less work and a big gov't deficit. 2) a question for a question - Why are so many Americans coming to Canada to have their prescriptions filled?
  23. but we need a place to train somewhere, don't we? most of the crag areas are too low for mixed (temps stay above freezing). who needs freezing temps for dry tooling anyway new "M12" (no ice all dry tooling in a chipped out slate quarry cave) Too Fast Too Furious in Scotland climbed in the middle of summer
  24. so good he posted it twice
  25. Hey Scrambler so what else is new? Canadian tortured not worthy of comment?
