trask is now trying out Anna's strategy on Anna.

Producing the gecko tape involves processes similar to those used in making computer chips. It is long and expensive. "There are some problems we have to solve before this could be used commercially; the main one is that it doesn't stay sticky for long enough. oops! "So we have to solve this, and that's why we're publishing the research now in Nature Materials. We hope some other people might be able to help us." Professor Geim has high hopes for the gecko tape and is convinced its remarkable properties will eventually find many applications. "We had this idea of making some tape the size of a hand and suspending someone outside the laboratory window. "We decided not to do it because it would have taken a long time and cost thousands and thousands of pounds, and wouldn't have proved anything scientifically. But we had lots of volunteers."

new all time

there is no such thing as a n"ewe" all time low in Spray Spray is was and has always been the gutter, lowball, snakebelly level.

They brushed the main powerline thru the Smoke Bluffs, like 2-3 years ago, and the vegetation is already 8 feet high. Well, 7 maybe, but over my head.

All routes on north side of Tomyhoi were FA by Canadians We will steal more of your unclimbed routes too If #1 polish export doesnt get there first

Trees grow back Rocks dont

"We have also considered producing a large amount of gecko tape, sufficient amounts to enable a student to hang out of a window of a tall building," Professor Geim said. "However, it would cost too much money, and would not benefit us scientifically, so we have limited our demonstration to the Spiderman toy." Pretty expensive aid. BD Spider Gloves: $30, 000 each?

Tony Yaniro, master hold shaper behind such fantastic outdoor chip & glue fests such as Hypersoul and blah blah blah... and bolter of crack climbs like Le Boogieman Will now teach technique for sticking tinfoil in pockets of route, then rushing home to Randy's garage and making exact replicas to practice crux See Climbing Mag ish 106, June 1991 for more info

Googlism for: alpinism alpinism is about as tough as sports get alpinism is about fun alpinism is roughly synonymous with ?alpine style alpinism is slimmer yet alpinism is a quirky alpinism is the highest form of mountain climbing alpinism is a distillation of mark twight's advice on tactics that are on the polar opposite of the slow and steady expedition style that has been alpinism is above all marked by my love for all its aspects alpinism is similar to that of so many others alpinism is to make oneself strong alpinism is like the "search for a prehistoric brother made by modern man who alpinism is only an anonymous act in the mountains unless your story is told alpinism is 'an injection of heroism into the society alpinism is about being fast and free not overcoming a great mountain face with technology or the tricks of aid climbing and lots of equipment alpinism is beautiful because it teaches us balance alpinism is a suitable course for people who can second competently on rock alpinism is the ideal preceding alpinism is climbing up vertical rocks and cliffs it is often developed in the same sites where speleotourism is developed alpinism is definitely for you alpinism is the formula one of all mountain sports alpinism is not encouraged alpinism is the art alpinism is more fit for telling experiences alpinism is in your head alpinism is not about violation of the nature alpinism is attributed to the alpinism is yet another part of the offer alpinism is a generic term for all alpine mountain activity alpinism is a monthly electronic journal published by a loose association of idle technogeeks with an interest and history of participation alpinism is beset by huge difficulties alpinism is a life alpinism is a modern perpetuum mobile alpinism is solo alpinism is an extreme sport and has inherent risks which can be reduced by being sensible alpinism is popular with the italians alpinism is about tolerating suffering alpinism is a way to step out on another planet alpinism is alive and growing alpinism is a piece of cake alpinism is practiced on the head of the sleeping woman alpinism is this four thousand metre high south face of dhaulagiri alpinism is born on these high tops alpinism is a combination of cross alpinism is a particular form of tourism alpinism is invented alpinism is more individual alpinism is a leisure alpinism is a household sport alpinism is based on alpinism is an exciting hobby that should not be practiced in the desert alpinism is an example alpinism is captured in what has become accepted as a classic of mountaineering literature alpinism is a fool's game full of meaningless risk alpinism is an all alpinism is great fun for me alpinism is a distillation of mark twight's advice on tactics that are on the polar opposite of the slow and steady expedition style that alpinism is not healthy for city people alpinism is full alpinism is a great example to all of us alpinism is my favorite sport alpinism is a sick and twisted addiction and i challenge anyone to argue otherwise alpinism is frightening alpinism is hard enough without the added dilemma of free alpinism is moribund alpinism is not an appropriate word alpinism is only 50 miles from the geneva airport and sits near the alpinism is hardly practised and alpinism is promised by klippe alpinism is considered the most dangerous discipline in the world alpinism is lost alongside yet another 'sun rock' article alpinism is akin to mountaineering alpinism is organizing a accession to ararat for the alpinism is a retrospective pleasure

i am testing out my new digital camera...

latest from gripped board

my schoeller jacket is windproof if you are hikin in to a REAL climb in summer (eg. not to Exit 38) you will be sweating no matter how much wind is blowing in any type of jacket if you are dumb enough to wear one

Dru Darling, I think you may have a bit of DIRT in your eye. I do believe it has effected your spelling least i know how to spell "affected"

minimal dirt

paved approach trail are aid

I jusdt got back from some ground up rock climbing exploration. First time I have bolted on lead. First time on the Coast for full on cleaning on lead too. the Fun Factor is but boy am I dirteeee

crampons work good in plywood though and for real dry tooling practice you should be able to hook your heel spur on holds or tools, its about torso and leg strength, not just arms. those real rock holds dont get damaged like resin ones do, by metal tools and points. also most gyms have a box of old broken ones somewhere they want to get rid of... no need for dry tooling holds to have tendon friendly shapes!

... when the summit register is covered with snow in winter, parties will find it hard to sign in..... I don't say you were NOT the first since last fall, only that the summit register is not a reliable way to determine this.

duh, that was my point too, what exactly are we arguing about? it breathes exactly the right amount for winter ice climbing, cragging and spring alpine climbing

you mean like when you are leading Air Guitar at Vantage huh Can't believe you went there Drude...Damn that's taking a man's woman....and his beer i figured it would be a good way to point out even falling at he crag is not "safe" and should be avoided whenever possible. a reference to the Kropp case is merely a cited instance of where a crag fall was demonstrably not safe. lots of others in ANAM. dunno what's so low about it.

and it is even more low, to bring back a dead thread, make a meaningless post "I heard that blah blah" and then see who gets all jumpy and defensive cause your fake rumor has struck home to them as true, MINX????
