here's what i got you

so in high winds not only do you get slapped by overly long straps, that little metal buckle really hurts. I actually called BD about this and they told me after compressing the pack you slide those nifty buckles up to the main buckle to secure from strap slippage or something like that.

You know what else would be cool is if people could put a little thought into thier questions before they ask the question. another goofy question see, it's another case of a known sprayer giving good info and ignoring a deservedly spray worthy opening. Sparky, you are just being a pansy. Did someone hurt your feelings? [ 05-17-2002, 10:36 AM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

can she stand up?

here's a link to a peice at another website that speaks to this matter of standing around. http://www.camp4.com/index.php?newsid=321

vicious black flys encountered in the Mt. Index neighborhood late one summer. bit right through my t-shirt.

with the guys I climb with, standing there looking at the climb will earn you 5' of belay slack for every 10 seconds you are stationary. works for me.

I think he is cleaning house so's he can get a sponser in here to install some pop up advertizements for Ole English 800.

happy birthday Herny G!

I only crag climb with 5 cams 'cause that's all I got. You'll learn to make do with whatever's handy. Try to barrow cams to find what you like, I bought some HB quad cams cause they were on sale and now I don't really like them after using them for a while. but for a more specific answer, I'd argree with what most have said about hardware, you'll want 2 sets of nuts in the mid - bigger sizes, and some cams from .75 - 3. I really like the Aliens and wish they made some bigger ones. Oh yeah, I recently picked up a Metolius "Double D" gear slut sling and really like it being the anal retentive gear organizer that I am. But a single length runner works ok too. [ 05-15-2002, 12:25 PM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

LOCKED! 2 threads in under 3 hours. Judge Judy better watch out!

here is a perfect example of a newbie type question only answered in a sincere manner by a known class 5 spray monkey. goofy question On the other hand, the question could have been formed with a little more detail to avoid the obvious opening for a smarty pants remark along the lines of "how the hell should anyone know what to expect for weather & conditions for the next several weeks, go look your self you lazy so and so" (not that I would do that ) It happens. It happened to me not too long ago. I am the Mark Twight of dumb questions. You get what you ask for. [ 05-15-2002, 08:49 PM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

darrington that's the most recent info

Sorry Lambone, I felt like stirring the pot a little, and, well, you just make yourself an easy target sometimes. quote: Originally posted by Lambone: .....I haven't done Town Crier.... THEN WHY ARE YOU BITCHEN ABOUT IT? Are you really that good of a climber that you can see from the ground when fixed pieces aren't necesary??

If anyone else was wonderin what a leeper looks like, I was surprised to see that I am guilty of cliping one of these last weekend on the Martian Diagonal at Peshastin. I guess there's still plenty around despite the recall. I thought they looked manky. bad bolts

I thought it was considered normal for Glaciers to move in a downward direction. What's so unusual about this calving? Any of you mofo's put a sticker on my truck be prepared to have it stuck up your nose!

He could be the first person to get thrown up Mt. Rainier. Wierdooooooo.

Spider Man, Spider Man, he can do anything that a spider can. Good tune to hum as I hiked up Martian Diagonal over the weekend. grippy rubber is so cool!!

in case any spray monkeys wanted something to do saturday morning.

Yeah, I guess it sounds like fun but, still kind of cowardly. If you feel that strongly, why not try to talk to them or leave a nice note about the virtues of not causing glaciers to calve and the poor people of Monroe having snow on Monday and 85 degree temp on Sunday.

I have used Seam Seal on ripped goretex gaitors and the seams* of my tent fly. It worked pretty swell. Just make sure the surface is clean, you can use that stuff on just about anything. *little clarification [ 05-14-2002, 09:31 AM: Message edited by: Bronco ]

My wife and I climbed out at the Peshastin Pinacles on Saturday. Great Rock! Scoped out Castle rock for next time. Besides being the safty proctor at Index and climbing with a turd crowning, what did everyone else do that may not be trip report worthy or you only have time for a brief one.
