Coming out in the dark was practice for winter waterfalls. Even with a Petzl Wikka* it was OK. Erik invented the phrase "Weak-a" for Tikkas.

I climbed tuft I ate Mex I drank beer I smoked Bud Green I gaped in awe at hardmen and hardwimmkin' sendin I faced down the Tool while Erik hid the goods I forgot where the caves was at I pimped tuff I fondled pockets I met the puppy porn stars I gaped in the direction of DA TOOF on the way home on I-90 I saw the Mountlake Terrace sign and nearly turned off to the sacred home of JERRY SANCHEZ I heard stories of Jon wigging out and shutting down the board on Friday Nice to finally meet Iain Timm@y Muffy Jkrueger lawngoddess timL Northbynorthwest texplorer and ehmmic. Also to be introduced to hardman Jeff the lurker with the 6 red bull per hour habit. And WHERE THE HELL WAS DFA???????????? Also DFA now that I have your attention what is the grade of the 'approach pitch' to Time To Power? We were up at Shipwreck and gaping at it and it looked fun despite guidebook saying its chossy plowing??? [ 11-12-2002, 08:52 AM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Beware of Tauntons and other snowbeasts

There were days when I got out of bed even though I would rather not have.... These TRs are cool I will write one upon my return from Smith. It will feature deathly bodylength runouts and tales of debauchery or maybe drinking beer in the rain and spelunkinizing.

How dare you impugn Hello Kitty!

You cant break your leg when you fall off the outside wall of your basement suite while buildering. Neighbours pitbull might getcha though.

hundreds of rug rats and i had to take out all the drug and alcohol references and MEC still complained about the naked bungy jumping pictures.

It doesnt say it was rabid, just "Conditioned to humans and bold"

Why dont you use one of a Shoe? wdeitsch is already using the driller one.

Ya but we are ignoring you because we dont like your avatar, Sherlock.

It reminds me of Chaseabbott and Scottish wanker. Clearly the second most popular avatar after the lil' homey with the shades so beloved of Ryland moore Dlunkman slickrick etc.

Bolts the points to a golf shoe like the cool new wave mixed climbers do

There is no Anderson Range. Just a hoax perpetrated by Canadians on their southern brethren.

Jordan wright told me the Product was cool. Hey GregW bring some guns to Smith so we can shoot stuff if it rains! [ 11-07-2002, 02:04 PM: Message edited by: Dru ]

Ya it could have I suppose... Id rank that the least likely of the 3 but I suppose it is possible.

OK then, if we eliminate a bounce or differential rope movement cutting the sling, what are we left with? It gets more confusing... Did or could you examine the sling all the way around the block? Now Im wondering if perhaps a had chewed partway through a hidden part of the sling you couldn't see. Or perhaps it was against a sharp edged flake or something??

NOT TLG in her room Have set up many top rope anchores with runners but want to learn to use JK's super cord stuff. And I would like to practice making anchors with trad gear if we could come up with a way to do it... inside out side.. where ever. just let me know where and when And I will try to work out being there. Who wants to instruct????? DRU? TEX? ANYONE??? I can say for a fact that GegW makes beautiful anchors maybe he would help out all of us Sling a hot tub? Timm@y??

Ignorance is bliss right? "southern" accent, "New yawk" accent, "Whoa, dude, like gag me with like, a spoon" California accent.....

quote: Originally posted by thelawgoddess: toast, it sounds like you've already done more indoor mini-clinic-ing than i could imagine. i've read long's book and surveyed his pics, but i've never had any real interest in setting up anchors amongst pieces of my furniture. an outdoor hands-on clinic with more opportunity for realistic set-ups (and more so, practicing self-rescue stuff) would be much more appealing ... Setting up anchors in your furniture is a great skill which can be applied both to whiling away tentbound days in the mountains, and bedroom antics involving ropes

You gonna chisel some heads and stack some pins and hook some creaking surfboards and shit in a tube, or does the aid involve clipping up a bolt ladder in the gym?

They tried plastic nuts 15 years ago. No market demand.

You missed out on a primo chance to do that after the slideshow. Reinhold was pretty cool. He bought us all a round and told us about the Yeti.
