    Birthday!

    So does that make you twice his age or what?
  4. you mean just like the deterrent effect all your other laws have produced, namely a violent crime rate much higher than anywhere else in the Western world?
  5. ah even the bobbies don't carry guns in jolly olde England.
  6. i have found whole top rope anchors left abandoned in the bluffs several times. also slings and biners threaded thru rap hangers at Pesahastin and in the Icicle.
  7. why don't you guys go see "Open Range" again.
  8. just tell em you are a virgin and they'll leave
  9. Maybe you should have posted it on the NEW GUN FETISH FORUM where someone else might actually give a shit
  10. I like the ones with Bazooka Joe comics. Is there anything more perfectly exhibiting the strange parallel process to humor without actually being funny?
  11. 4 ropes found stuck at Red Rocks. 2 on first pitch of Solar Slab Gully 2 on first pitch of Cat In The Hat. in both cases we soloed up to the anchor, dropped the ropes and solo downclimbed (one pitch 4th class one pitch 5.3).
  12. I put up a real trip report with some photos on bivouac.com.
  13. a kilonewton is equal to 1,000 fig bars or 1 greatest hits 10CD compilation of country songs.
  14. i believe the true original name of the "hot climber chick" is Rachel Babkirk or Sandrine Levet
  15. she just moved back to minnysota land after windsurfing in da Gorge all summer long
  16. chance trask wrote it himself 5% chance he cut and pasted it from somewhere on the web 95%
  17. i am not a geek either but essentially energy is dissipated breaking threads/stitching/RP cables which reduces the total energy of the system, as i understand it. also the screamer extends the duration over which the force is applied thus reducing the total impact on the piece of pro. some physicist can spray on me now.
  18. or a national forest service parking pass ranger "mike the tool"

    WTF?

    Did someone hack ehmmic's account and steal her password?
  20. but can they spray like a pro or not?
  21. if you hadn't invaded Iraq, Adamson would still be working for Microsoft.
  22. whilst climbing at the Moaning Tree my friend Cam C. had a double dinner plate occur and pitched backwards and down 20' onto a 17cm screw in very soft wet ice. the On sight screamer not only held, but only about the first 5cm of the stitching unwove. i have 5 and use them all the time ice climbing; rarely alpine or trad climbing. i usually take along one, and only clip it to sketchy fixed pins of unknown age. RPS themselves can act as load limiters. if you place 5 or 6 in a small distance (like 6 inches apart) in a thin crack and fall on them, the first 5 or so may rip out or break cables, but this will dissipate force and the 6th one will then catch you. i have only theoretical experience in this but it was well discussed in Mountain magazine c. 1978
