chucK, I think SABER! sounds like a way harder climb than canary Canary is for babies or will make any aspiring 5.8 leader cry like one!

That's what I was thinkin, kinda like if you are leading Senior Citizens in Space, (dihedral with a cracks on the left face and in the back) you'd certainly want the rack on the left so it's not snaggin on shit back there... Me and Greg were discussing the virtues of this matter on the excellent belay ledge of Saber at Castle rock last weekend while smokin a big ole stogie. Well, that and the virtues of climbing green slime covered granite.

yeah, that's cool fern, but, I was wondering about if you should always put your gear sling on so your pro is all hangin on your strong side so your better hand is able to manipulate and place gear more efficiently, or over your weak side so your strong hand can hold the hell on!

34.659090909090914% is that good or bad? what?

Get it right Jim, it's "strategery". Your liberal inaccuracies make me want to puke!

you are right chucK!

fawk that shit, have you checked out what info is available on Saddam Jr and his bro Sadam Jr Jr? If we don't clean house in an extreme manner now, we'd be facing a much much more serious threat in the near future. No chance of a regiem change in the next 30-40 years without intervention.

'it's only 5.8" "naw, we dont really need a rope, looks pretty easy"

it's a phrase like you asked for homo! how'd you like me to send one of these recently released big boys from the Monroe pen to hunt you down for some "man love"?

Try to bring something more original next time please, that's such an '02 complaint. Something about the recent locking of the Rainier Record thread would be appreciated by all. we have only scratched the surface there.

This thread is so gay!

As long as they don't clash with my Stihl hat, I don't care. Nobody's ever accused me of being a gooder dresser.

Tullamore Dew is very good Irish Wiskey also, but my head hurts badly today. But, I did make it into the office..finally.

did that hurt your feelings?

right, any witnesses? photos? have they completed the notarized forms in triplicate? Have they completed the requisite luncheon with the lead climbing ranger? Have they sprayed anywhere on the internet or are they "credible"? I wonder if their climb was even recognized in Climbing magazine. Posers!

you guys are such sprayaholics you got the entire thread LOCKED! YOU ARE SOOOOO SUCK! (everybody)

The Schoeller Dryskin tights on www.mec.ca are on sale for about $47.00 US. I ordered some other stuff so I don't know how much the shipping would be for just these guys, but, it's still pretty cheap.

yup! I sure pulled a fast one when I tricked 'er into gettin hitched! heh heh!

On the menu at home tonight will be Lamb stew with a guiness broth, soda bread and black & tans (Guiness and Harps of course). For desert, irish wiskey of which I cannot remember the name. The name's not really important either.

carry a heavy rock or log back and forth through a swamp and up and down steep muddy hills. good preparation for post holing.

sold! But I still have the BLACK DIAMOND ice axe for a real mountain man or woman. and only $25.00

Out in Montana, they call these cattle that wander off the Forest Service Property and onto private property "slow elk". Bang!

or when it just avalanches from high above you and carries you into a terrain trap (like a tree well) that would be so suck, you couldn't even match it with an industrial catch basin cleaner/vacum.

Here's some food for thought for you high and mighty piton police: In the newest Index Guide book it calls for a couple pin placements on the second pitch of Green Dragon. Now, I have seen a single frickin trip report saying it went clean last summer by nightfly, but, I say these guys were prudent at a minimum. and further: Cramer recomends bringing pins on Town Crier and everyone knows it goes clean! Where's the "local ethics" now? BTW: Good one chucK!
