I don't know how many users there are currently but at last check there were around 4,000. If what you say is true, there are 200 people who post here who could handle the commitment level of Everest. I'd say it's closer to maybe 2. Lummox and Michael Layton would be the only people I've met who would be able to get there asses up and down in good style. And, since I've met almost every user on the website, I would indeed be a good judge of character. Maybe Crack (no not Cracked ), if he ever got his knee fixed up. So your percentage would be closer to 99.998. Or something like that. Let's try to keep this realistic, ok?

Does anyone else use old rope sheath for rap anchors? I retired my old craggin rope recently and think this might be an ok thing to do. Any idea what rope sheath might be rated to? Probably not as good as webbing but it seems like tubular webbing is usually stronger than the anchor anyway. Any opinions on this? I remember reading about using the sheath for rapping in some book a few years ago. I think it was "Extreme Scramblism" or something. And yes, I know webbing is cheap.

NEVER BAIL...SUMMIT OR PLUMMET!!!

The altitude of 12,300' puts them just at or slightly above the "Black Pyramid". If they're on top of the pyramid, it's a relativly protected bivy site. Still not a happy place to be tied down though. Sounds like they are doing a great job of keeping it together in tough conditions.

nevermind, I guess I'm not following along closely enough. Martlet is an ass.

Yes. I believe he's doing a fine job of getting everyone's panties in a bunch, especially (but not limited to) the liberals. If you don't like what he has to say, report him to the bannerators immediatly.

PETA!

Yeah funny to you maybe, but a personal attack to me!

Remember Inspector Clouseau always trained for the surprise attack and he knows his self defense.

Dude! that movie is so fake! You couldn't learn anthing useful for fighting in a real kung foo/ninja street fight. So surry!

OMG! the contrails! Did anyone else catch the trailer for "The Day After Tomorow" the newest Dennis Quaid movie? Aparantly he's an ecologist who carries an ice tool with him whenever he's in the field incase he has to do some one arm pullups on the lip of a crevasse. Looks good!

Crap! Wrong again after all these years!

I've also seen enter the dragon like three times if you guys want to argue about MA so BRING IT ON!!!

Actually Will, I was taught in a gun education course that a magazine refers to a gun with the "tubular maganize" under the barrel alla the pump shotgun. I took the course at age 12 so it is possible I'm wrong, but, not very likely since I haven't been wrong since 1981 when I accused my brother of taking my "Snake Eyes" action figure. Anyway, clip is a widely accepted term for the item we are discussing here. Where's your source a-hole?

A gun that accepts a clip with the rounds (bullets) stacked directly one on top of the other is a "single stack" as oposed to a "double stack" wider clip with the rounds staggered side to side allowing for a higher capacity clip. The double stack clip was not widely used by handgun manufactures until Glock used the design the early 90's. Are you related to Oliver the Humanzee?

Just go into the Alderwood REI and tell them you plan to do the Emperor face on Robson and are shopping for adequate mountaineering boots. They will get you exactly what you need. Green vest guys rock!

Are you guys gonna make him wait until it melts out to get it back? He woulda made it with some super swampers!

Another vote for the Genie.

"GOLL DANG BIKER!!!"

OMFG! The humanzee

Bring your favorite daypack and put your smelly stuff in there. Stow it proudly under your desk. Bring a small mirror and shave in the shower.

Yeah, I wuz mostly trolling Jim. He was a kid on a BMX. I think I may ride my bicycle on friday. Been trying to ride the bus once a week and it's not so bad if you don't mind the crazy people who seem to enjoy sitting next to me. They must mistake me for another crazy, right?

I think I'll leave my truck in four wheel drive with a chainsaw idling in the bed on friday to make up for some of you guys on your bikes. Maybe drag a burning tree soaked in bio-diesel behind it. I was flipped of by a bike rider the other day who was riding his bike down the sidewalk at a high rate and entered the crosswalk as I was turning left. I think he was mad because I didn't anticipate him doing 30 mph through the intersection. Bikers are so suck!
