Always stupid and always tedious, I decide, the man of the mountains." hahahaha 'that's very funny. Always stupid and always tedious, i think, mountainman.' moi, je pense que le petit gars des montagnes ne connait pas que il y'a une difference grande entre l'humor <spray> des grimpeurs de la Cascades, et avait un grande queue de cheval dans son cul...

Also, how much would you have to pay individually for the two books? And being insured on any peak 6000m and under,anywhere is a great deal. You also get a phonebook, with all of the AAC members #'s, so if you need some beta on freeing the nose in a day, call Lynn Hill. Hell, if you want a date, call Lynn Hill! i hear lynn is tough on her men and burns through an average of 2 per year... im certain her new bio written by greg child has more info on her love life...

In 'biner manufacture, I am sure workers learn basic machine shop skills, blueprint reading, etc. These are all transferable skills.

quote: Originally posted by RedMonk: what's up with all the harsh talk about a mag that you haven't even seen dru? go ahead and spray about me now for having a different opinion than you... but i would like to see it first...personally i like the sounds of a big picture and lil' caption mag with only 10 pages of ads....last i checked, the alternative have like 1/2 their pages dedicated to ads...but i dont think i will ever get the chance to read this mag as it costs about what i make a week... if someone told me they were going into the restaurant business selling nothing but horsecock and Gu I would predict that their restaurant, no matter how good the service and decor, would fail pretty fast. Not cause I hated them but just a statement of the facts. same deal with a climbing mag selling nothing but 'Hard' alpinism. the market is too limited. they're gonna crash and burn once mr. red hat deep pockets gets tired of supporting a money losing business.

yes, now instead of bomber 1/2" bolts 3 feet apart there are 1" bolts 1 foot apart!!!!! the next rebolting will see the bolt ladder replaced with Metolius Cave Jugs plastic holds...

Lets see... everyone knows the "nut tool as ice axe" trick but what are some other ones? Thermarest for crashpad when alpine bouldering... it works but if your thermarest deflates as a result you will be sorry. Large cam as self defence tool when attacked by or cougars... maybe. Gu as sunscreen - does it work? Anybody tried it? does the Gu website list the SPF of Gu?

wiregates are light. end of story. but get the dmm one cause the neutrino is tiny. wiregates, since they are lighter, are easier for thieving to steal from camp. so put out some as a decoy to keep the from stealing your wiregates.

yeah keep that info secret from the rest of us gapers.

there is no topo for Fortress you go left at the big roof and then follow your nose. perhaps if you offered beer to dave humphries or something. you can see the scrub streak from hospital hill traffic lights if you look hard enough i have no idea about the rap anchors, i understand they are located fairly low on the face at the top of a short white corner just left of the skullfuck bolt ladder... never been up there myself yet so cant help more than that.

I will say that Malden's Powerdry and Powersheld are pretty state of the art fabrics at the moment. I guess they are kicking themselves for not having a pure Schoeller type material though. IIRC this isnt the first time they've declared bankruptcy. Like TNF they just keep bouncing back producing the same products under different corporate organizational scemes...

Snafflehound Spire

Charlet Mooser

BD yeah but wouldnt his evil sidekick be named Petzl or something if that was the case? Moose like MEC or what?

the summit rock move is rated V420

quote: Originally posted by iain: seems kinda like that "Summit" magazine from a few years back. except Summit was about outdoor clothing, slot canyons, guided slogs in the rockies, and hiking to muir hut not badass grade IV and harder routes. ehmmic I cant help but be skeptical cause i have seen the concept previously tried and resoundingly fail... what is different now that will let it succeed?
