if you really wanna blow their mind tie in with a clove hitch bowline.

dude, some josh routes are hard for their grade, and others are total gimme. generally at josh, the newer the easier, i find.

old English porter. mmmmm. the beer Fern is not recommended to drink

where was winona ryder when the stuff went missing huh?

hell, the nwog.org bulletin board is flat out languishing. you can start a thread called "Jim Yoder pushed me too." maybe ScottP will chip in over there with more of the same links someone else already posted earlier in the thread the way he did with the offwidth thread here!

ya but IQ tests are bunk anyways

have you done it??? what other pro should i expect to use?? Split Beaver is a fist crack. All you need is some costalot size #3s and maybe a 3.5. I think that's compatible to a #4 friend? yeah but if you are a wimp and worried about cheese gratering out as you try to push up your piece the 4.5 is nice for the last few feet... what really helps for that climb is long arms to reach in and grab the chockstones... then you dont need OW technique.

actually tomcat, the chances you suggest are only if it's purely random, like flipping a coin. if that was the case i'd be the coin standing on edge by your argument you could go up to the guy who won the lottery and say to him : "I don't believe you won the lottery cause the odds are against you" or the guy who get hit by lightning, cause it only happens to something like 300 North Americans per year, and say to him "there are 400 million North Americans so I dont believe you got hit by lightning". strangely enough i know 1 lottery winner and 2 guys who got hit by lightning.

yeah its easy to hate ice climbing on the coast and easy to love it in da Rockies!!

yeah, the average person' score nowadays would have put them in the top 1% in the 1930's. except the effect is the same no matter what test you use... so you cant claim they made the tests easier? you can look up Rupert Sheldrake on the web. don't read whatthe crackpots have to say about him (he attracts, and encourages, all sorts of pseudoscientists...) read what he says about his theories. is morphogenic, not morphogenetic, i made a mistake there.

yeh... did you know that mean IQ scores have risen every year since they were invented? numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this but none of them have been proven... however Sheldrake's "morphogenetic field" hypothesis has not been falsified yet either.

well, if instead of deer, tiger was on the list, what would you have chosen then? i still would have chosen kangaroo, but its a lot more open to argument in the latter case, on account of the tiger being carnivorous and the roo herbivorous... however by cladistics, tiger is placental hence evolutionarily closer to horse than to roo... in fact, if it was tiger, donkey, pig, roo, rabbit or owl, what would you have guessed then? would you have realized it was the characters from Winnie the Pooh?

That or they all four walk on four legs. 4 legged answer is too simple... they are all also hoofed except kangaroo, and mammals where kangaroo is marsupial, all these facts together combine to make them more similar to each other than to 'roo. also, all are domestic (they have deer farms and wild horses but you know what i mean), whereas roo is still undomesticated.

fact is all those questions were easy, the only one i guessed on was that pure and simple truth one. you don't know me so how do you know im not a genius smart ass? is it a knee jerk reaction cause i oppose your stupid war? worried that any smart person would do the same? though so

actually you do have to know a bit about biology too! like knowing that a kangaroo is not an ungulate. i'm wondering how many people answered "mule" to that cause its the only sterile one though. seems to me if you were from an agricultural background you might answer that way.

Wow, we actually do have something in common. And I call bullshit on Dru's 167. http://www.eskimo.com/~miyaguch/combnorm.html 1 in 70,000 people have an IQ score that high. I would think that would more than set you apart from the rest of the bunch here at cc.com. No offense, but I just don't see it. 129. you may doubt all you want but facts are facts and the fact is it said my IQ is 167. and the last time i took a test in high school, it said 164. i think the only thing that stopped me from getting perfect, was one of those proverb type quotes, that I had never heard before, and had to guess on. the one about the pure and simple truth actually. all the other questions were dead easy symbolic logic or calculation questions. how that is supposed to test IQ, i dont know, which is why those tests are bunk.

starts as hands...you better takes lots of tcus and aliens, just in case

167 up three points from last time i took test.

to my way of thinking if you run out of draws but still have lots of extra biners it means you need to buy more draw slings, cheapskate! if you have the 1992 squamish guidebook you'll note in the photo section Joe Turley is leading Local Boys with the 2-biner clip setup. worst of both worlds IMHO. its even less flexible and more likely to unclip, than a single biner. but what do i know i place a quickdraw on everything even cams with sewn slings.

iq of poster correlates strongly with number of posts made.

i think its 7"

isnt there some OW on Mesa Verde wall somewhere? that watts says is "smith's best OW which isnt saying much?" hey dfa when is ETA for the new guidebook?

definitely hypertension; i think you can get away with #4.5 for split beav and also skulduggery; march of the kitchen utensils? carnival crack? the memorial pillar OW (see Red Beckey guide) goes at A3 on 5" to 9" sawn off aluminum pipe sections and sideways bongs, its just waiting for some hotshot to free it. i will belay and jumar!!

2 pages and so far the only takers for the AMGA slam hook are snoboy and daler. Jason Martin must be out bolting in Red Rocks with layton. "I'm not a doctor but i have a medical website right here. Where's my scalpel?"

well what is the correct length draw to use then? metric 9cm or imperial 4"?? anyways guides are suck and aid and you often only use a biner when aid climbing not a draw so it must be ok
